1. Did you get into your college of preference?
That would be university. Yes, after some unnecessary bureaucratic trouble.

2. Keep NASA or get rid of it?
Join Forces with ESA or do something against that noxious rivalry with the military.

3. What do you think of when you hear "Muffin-Kong Goes to Jesus School"?
That it sounds like a B movie title

1. Lemon or orange flavoured drink?

2. Salt or pepper, if you have no chance to taste food beforehand and have to make the decision?

3. Where have you been?

1. Lemon or orange flavoured drink?
Probably lemon - better with rum, and sometimes less chance of major colouring agent and brominated vegetable oil additions.

2. Salt or pepper, if you have no chance to taste food beforehand and have to make the decision?
Pepper.  Not everything needs salt, nearly everything goes well with fresh-ground black pepper.  OTOH, anything I cooked is much more likely to need salting at the table than more pepper (but I often put more pepper on anyways).

3. Where have you been?
Only countries on the Pacific Rim - about 8 of them, I think.

1. Do you know where your drinking water comes from (lake, river, well, rain etc.)?

2. Do you think you could make do only with food produced less than 100 km from your residence?

3. Which would you make a priority - cutting greenhouse gas emissions or cutting acute air pollutant emissions (SO_x, NO_x, photochemical smog, ground-level ozone, particulate matter)?

1. Do you know where your drinking water comes from (lake, river, well, rain etc.)?
Lake Okeechobee, which is at this time a little low, reason why we have some water restrictions running.

2. Do you think you could make do only with food produced less than 100 km from your residence?
AFAIK there are no meat/poultry industries in the vicinity, so I would have to become vegetarian in that case.

3. Which would you make a priority - cutting greenhouse gas emissions or cutting acute air pollutant emissions (SOx, NOx, photochemical smog, ground-level ozone, particulate matter)?
Possibly particulate for selfish reasons (my son has asthma from time to time). Reducing greenhouse gases may bring as a secondary benefit less mercury (if implies regulation to the coal industry), that would be a not so selfish choice.

1. Do you believe that S. Hawking's suggestion about doing as much as possible to leave this rock and start colonizing other worlds ASAP is a valid one?

2. If that were possible now (start new colonies) would you go?

3. What situation would force you to do it?

1. Do you believe that S. Hawking's suggestion about doing as much as possible to leave this rock and start colonizing other worlds ASAP is a valid one?
Not yet. Inside our solar system the conditions are not really given (and only "short"-term) and we don't know enough yet about the neighbourhood. We should keep it in mind but not make it a top priority

2. If that were possible now (start new colonies) would you go?
Would depend on the conditions. Would have to be really promising, if there is no reverse option (which interstellar travel would imply, if Einstein is not completely wrong).

3. What situation would force you to do it?
An otherwise unavoidable long and agonizing death or if too many people would go that I would have difficulty living without (or Falwell, Dobson, Robertson becoming absolute rulers of the world with Phelps as their main enforcer )

1. Soup or solid food?

2. Juice with or without flesh/pulp?

3. What do you think about meat imitations for vegetarians?

1. Soup or solid food?

Solid food. I've got half a stomach, and high protein requirements, so soup is a luxury in regards to available space.

2. Juice with or without flesh/pulp?

Without pulp. See above, also, I don't digest some fiber well.

3. What do you think about meat imitations for vegetarians?

Up to the vegetarian. If you're not going to eat meat, just don't eat it. If the pretend meat is really trying to seem like meat, what's the deal? Either be vege or don't. As long as you're not malnourished, it's not my problem. If you're malnourished and it becomes a health issue, then it concerns me.




1. What is your favorite fruit?

2. How many keys do you carry on a regular basis?

3. What color socks are you wearing?

1. What is your favorite fruit?
Mangosteen, then durian and passionfruit.  Modified for frequency of consumption, probably mango or pomegranate - a good mango is still hard to beat.

2. How many keys do you carry on a regular basis?

13, plus a mag key and a key fob.  Two are duplicates...

3. What color socks are you wearing?

Black.  Oh, hey, they match!  I'm having sock issues - multiple styles, but can hardly find a matching pair.    I'm going to buy 50 identical pairs....

****************************************  Q's Soon!

Mangosteen? May I inquire where from?

I think it's primarily from Thailand - most of the asian markets here carry it.

Questions:

1. What (unhealthy) food will you never stop eating?

2. On the beach, or in the mountains?

3. Fireworks or fireflies?

1. What (unhealthy) food will you never stop eating?

Meat in any form.

2. On the beach, or in the mountains?

The question is what do you intend to do? If walking, probably mountains, if sex chilling I'd go with beach.

But I love the beach and it's always my number one choice.

3. Fireworks or fireflies?

Fireworks.

1. Cuba Libre or Sex on the Beach?

2. Have you ever tasted Absinth and did you like it?

3. Are you a myspace user?

1. Cuba Libre or Sex on the Beach?

Not the first, and the second only without the capitals, and with good protection from the sand. That stuff can irritate!! My favorite drink (other that a bourbon and water) used to be a Sloe Screw--orange juice and sloe gin.

2. Have you ever tasted Absinth and did you like it?

I had the closest thing to it that's legal in the US, at tho Old Absinthe House in New Orleans. And no, not really. Much like a mint julep, it's more appealing in legend that in fact.

3. Are you a myspace user?

Yes. http://www.myspace.com/evilauntie
Started it to be able to help idiots fix their attempts to sign up for Omnia, and kept it just because. It's also a way to keep an eye on my Goddessdaughter...and a nice place to rant about stuff that annoys me!



1. What color are your bed linens and curtains?

2. How many products do you use an your hair?

3. Would you rather have a big casual 'dinner party' or a smaller, formal one?


Edited because my left hand doesn't always hit all the keys correctly when I type.

Too tired for questions except. how come your myspace tells me "Auntie Dee Dee is in your extended network".... ? I dont have myspace, I dont have a network, or at least I didnt know I have, if I have where is it...? is this cross-contamination ?

1. What color are your bed linens and curtains?

At the moment, black sheets and red ochre patterend doonah and pillow covers.  No curtains, but redwood coloured timber venetian blinds in the bedroom.

2. How many products do you use an your hair?

You mean apart from shampoo?  None.  Ok, one if you count shampoo.

3. Would you rather have a big casual 'dinner party' or a smaller, formal one?

I like both, but I'd say a big casual one sounds like fun!

======================================


But Griffin, you do have a network.  It's just that yours has only one node.   


======================================

1. What's your favourite home remedy for coughs, colds etc?

2. Are you paranoid, or is just that everyone's out to get you?

3. What is your favourite sort of home made soup?

If you get a MySpace page, everybody you click on is in your extended network, I think.

I dunno. I just go there to check on my Girl and to rant in my blog.

Also too tired to do questions...

IIRC, your "extended network" are the people who are three or so "friend links" away from you... but since everyone has that "Tom" guy as a friend by default and many people don't delete him from their friend list, everyone is only a couple of links away from everyone else... through Tom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. What's your favourite home remedy for coughs, colds etc?

Rest.  That's about it.

2. Are you paranoid, or is just that everyone's out to get you?
Neither.  If anything, sometimes I think people don't notice me at all.

3. What is your favourite sort of home made soup?
Anything made by my wife (except for her pumpkin soup - my wife's an amazing chef, but even she can't make pumpkin not awful for me.  I'm not a fan of pumpkin)

The following questions are courtesy of U2:

1. Did you come here for forgiveness?

2. Did you come to raise the dead?

3. Did you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head?

1. Did you come here for forgiveness?

With all due respect to U2, if I need forgiving, it's not by them.

2. Did you come to raise the dead?

Not my job.

3. Did you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head?

Lepers? No... Leopards--maybe!! But, I just can't get into that crucifixion vibe, not even for leopards.
