The Get to Know You Game...

[EvilEve]

the stormy-rainy kind... only kind to put me to sleep

how long is too long for you to go w/o something?

[Confess]

As long as it takes for me to get annoyed. Which is kind of fast. I'm an instant gratification kind of guy.

Again. What would you do for a Klondike bar?

[EvilEve]

anything but THAT!!!! *leaving it up to the imagination*

what would you do to have your toes not broken?

[Simon Bar Sinister]

break the other guy's toes first

[StormKnight (1)]

Yes.

What do you think you need vindication for?

[Simon Bar Sinister]

if there is anything, it's not coming to mind. good question, though.

do you work well as part of a team?

Edited September 17, 2009 by SpammerOvTheGods

[EvilEve]

depending on who's on the team, do i know them, do i care to know them, did they sleep with someone i know... etc.

how do you cure stupidity?

[taysteewonderbunny]

Imagination and curiosity are your best weapons.

If you could be any of the Greek Pantheon, who would you rather?

[creatureofthenyte]

None, I'd rather be King Leunitis of Sparta; "Spartans! Prepare for Glory!!!" Ahhwoo! Ahhwoo! Ahhwoo!

What was the topic again ?

[Simon Bar Sinister]

asking a question for someone else to answer.

what would it take for you to discard your current philosophy?

[prick]

A major change in human nature. What is your favorite sport?

[Simon Bar Sinister]

basketball!!!

are there people out there praying for you?

[StormKnight (1)]

Praying, chanting, and blessing in several different denominations.

What do you want and why?

[pomba gira]

Definitely.

Ever been to a traditional wedding or funeral of a culture other than your own?

[taysteewonderbunny]

Simultaneous posts get coetaneous answers.

1) I want a lot. I'd like to live in a small university town, a liberal university with a diverse student population, in the mountains, preferably the Blue Mountains, in a cooperative building with six individual flats and restaurant/retail (preferably cooperative-run coffee house or microbrewery) / performance space / gallery on the first one or two floors. I want my closest friends and family to occupy the other five flats. I want a husband (I have him picked out--let's just hope that I don't scare him away, shall we?) and a wife or girlfriend, two kids, some goats, two cats, one big dog, and a huge garden--either a rooftop garden, wall garden, or garden in an adjacent vacant lot. I want to spend my days cleaning up messes (I think I'll get my wish), doing some kind of professional or technical writing (mostly from home), and gardening. Why? Because I'm largely introverted, but like a bit of chaos and I love people watching. I'd live in a bucolic setting except that being near the bustle of city life keeps me energized and keeps me from feeling isolated (which depresses me). And I love animals. And art. And crazy artistic people, especially musicians, even though I'm not that creative myself. I also like coffee and beer, so having plenty of one or the other near by would be lovely, though it would likely be better for me if it were coffee.

2) No, I've never been to a wedding or funeral of another culture, most likely because I've never left the U.S. or Canada, but I have been to many funerals and weddings from other religious traditions, largely because Unitarian Universalism just isn't that popular.

What skill do you wish you could master that diverges greatly from your current skill set?

[Simon Bar Sinister]

wothout question, dunking a basketball on an NBA regulation height rim (10 feet, btw)

would you pick up a hitchiker(sp?)?

Edited September 21, 2009 by SpammerOvTheGods

[pomba gira]

Only if they were standing in front of one of those "Prison Area- Do Not Pick Up Hitchhikers" signs.

Seriously, prolly not... maybe a woman, if it were cold out... would depend on the vibe/location/circumstances.

What's your favorite children's book (picture, not chapter)?

[prick]

I believe it was called I saw it on mullberry street. What is your favorite fall activity outside of holloween of course.

[taysteewonderbunny]

Lining my burrow with fur and fattening up for the long hard winter. Duh.

Which do you think is more dangerous: lack of faith in oneself to the point that one can't even decide what one wants or likes OR such complete conviction in one's beliefs that all other points of view are excluded?

[AstralCrux]

Lack fo faith leads to suicidal tendancies and complete conviction leads to mass murder (think Nazi levels). I'm going with complete conviction is worse...

Who's your favorite person to hang with when you want to be happy?

[pomba gira]

My cousin Sondra. She is a true bright spirit.

And Prick, that's And To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street... a classic for sure.

Crickets/frogs at night: soothing or annoying?

[taysteewonderbunny]

Oh, perfectly soothing...until they suddenly go dead quiet in the darkest part of the night. Then I'm up and sweating bullets and listening for the crackling of underbrush.

How does one forgive? What's your theory on the process?

[Rev.Reverence]

My theory, is that it is not as important to forgive, as it is to 'move on & remember' ...'forgive & forget'...that shit is right out...'remember & hold the grudge'...can be taken to far, to fast, to often...

To forgive, or deliver unto damnation, is The Almighty Spirit's domain...I reserve final judgment for IT.

What is with all the deep questions in this thread as of late?

Wasn't this a light hearted thread?

[taysteewonderbunny]

Sorry. You're right. I've been preoccupied with too much of my own shit lately.

What's the most obscene flavor of ice cream you could imagine yourself eating? e.g. mine's green pea and ham.

[Rev.Reverence]

Pizza ice cream

(there would be no sugar, & would center on the cheese part, maybe, it'ld work better as a frozen yogurt...?)

...what's the oddest thing you've used Vernor's for?

(I've used it to marinade corned beef, in case some of you were thinkin' dirty.)
