1. Do you like flowery language or do you prefer dry prose?

2. What are your thoughts on defloration ?

3. Is Flora a nice name?

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

1. Do you like flowery language or do you prefer dry prose?

I prefer flowery language.

2. What are your thoughts on defloration Wink?

I think those thoughts are not for the wide public. Especially with minors around.

3. Is Flora a nice name?

I don't know. I have never met one. But it would remind me too much of butter (there's a butter of some sort called Flora around here).

1. What would you do, if you met the Easter Bunny?

2. What is your favourite rabbit recipe?

3. Are you hungry?

[Griffin NoName]

1. What would you do, if you met the Easter Bunny?

Believe the Vicar of Dibley is real.

2. What is your favourite rabbit recipe?

One of these; the Iranian one looks fun.

3. Are you hungry?

For what? Food, yes. I have phases of no interest in food but am currently in a chomping phase. I have bought loads of silly* things to eat over Easter. I actually have a bar of chocolate in my hand right now.

But my main hunger isn't for food. It's for freedom from illness. Freedom to do all the things I loved doing but couldn't do enough of while raising my kids. Days with no agenda, whole days devoted to wandering round interesting places, the theatre, cinema (hmm I did a lot of that but I want more),lots and lots of museums and galleries; I want to Do Abroad, a world tour, I want to visit every single friend I ever made in all the different countries they now live in (ditto uk where they have moved to silly places no one ever goes to). I want to fly, I want walk in the sun. I want to go to restaurants, I want to contact all the people who have passed through my life and spend a day with them.

Then of course there's sexual hunger. I would have said No to that. But that was before I read up on Zyban and found it has an interesting side effect of raising sexual functioning. It was after reading that I had the flirty incident with the optician - and I hadn't started the tablets so they must be very effective. So, if I do start taking them I might have to change my answer to yes and sign on with Madam Fifi.

1. How many TV channels do you think there should be?

2. How can someone tell you are not telling the truth?

3. Can you touch the tip of your nose with your tongue

2. and 3. may be related

[Swatopluk]

1. How many TV channels do you think there should be?
4 should suffice, if the quality is right.

2. How can someone tell you are not telling the truth?
That blinking neon sign above my head

3. Can you touch the tip of your nose with your tongue
No, not even without the Pinocchio effect.

#########################################################################################

1. Do you find your own sense of right/wrong often in conflict with official norms?

2. Are you often in conflict with your own sense of right/wrong (are you a constant sinner )?

3. How do you calibrate your moral compass?

[Opsa]

1. Do you find your own sense of right/wrong often in conflict with official norms?

Maybe not often, but sometimes. It is usually a problem with what others may find admissible, such practicing outright bigotry in segregated privacy. That sort of thing. I can be a real pain in the neck about that.

2. Are you often in conflict with your own sense of right/wrong (are you a constant sinner Wink)?

No, I can usually find semi-valid excuses for my sins.

3. How do you calibrate your moral compass?

By what hurts others or myself.


Goodness, that was somber!---------------------


1) Would you call yourself "easygoing"?

2) At parties, do you stay put or "work the crowd"?

3) When do you feel the best connection to The Great Everything?

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

1) Would you call yourself "easygoing"?

Easygoing? That's my second name.

And sometimes I'm even easy.

2) At parties, do you stay put or "work the crowd"?

When I party, I party. No rest till I'm so exhausted that I can't stand on my feet anymore (that is also sometimes connected to the alcohol consumption of that evening).

But I like to work the crowd. I hate parties, where I'm the only one actually dancing. If you're in the same club as me, you will find me on the dancefloor, with a drink in my hand and at least one girl by my side.

3) When do you feel the best connection to The Great Everything?

I am the Great Everything, so always.

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

1. Do you think I am the Great Everything?

2. You're out clubbing. Where can you be found, at the bar, on the dancefloor, sitting in a dark corner or else?

3. Do you like non-alcoholic beer?

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

1. Do you think I am the Great Everything?
Sure. 

2. You're out clubbing. Where can you be found, at the bar, on the dancefloor, sitting in a dark corner or else?
I don't, I don't have the time or the inclination, and most clubs around here are 21+. If I did, I imagine I'd be on the dance floor.

3. Do you like non-alcoholic beer? I don't like beer, so no.

1) What's your pet peeve?
2) Favorite cartoon? (one you watched as a kid, watch now, etc.)
3)Which of the five senses do you value the most?

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

1) What's your pet peeve?
Greedy businesses and evil politicians.

2) Favorite cartoon? (one you watched as a kid, watch now, etc.)
Between Foghorn Leghorn, Samurai Jack, (currently) Naruto and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.

3)Which of the five senses do you value the most?
As a trained musician I would say hearing, but I really like the other four

1. Robin Hood: Good, Evil or a gray character with good PR?

2. Do you like apocalyptic themes (books, shows, movies)?

3. Where (if at all) will be humankind in 1000 years?
---------
Oh, I know that it was a page ago but I couldn't avoid the name Flora:

(Flora Martínez, a Colombian actress)

[Swatopluk]

1. Robin Hood: Good, Evil or a gray character with good PR?
If a real person, then probably gray with good posthumous PR.
But what about Dennis Moore?

2. Do you like apocalyptic themes (books, shows, movies)?
In general terms yes but there is a lot (=too much) of insipid stuff.

3. Where (if at all) will be humankind in 1000 years?
It can consider itself happy, if it is only in a very sorry state.
I fear mankind is somewhere near the top right now and it will go downward in the not too far future (we may not live to see the plunge).

1. What will you have for lunch today (or had, if it is past already)?

2. Did you go to religious services on Good Friday?

3. When was the last time you ate spinach?

[anthrobabe]

1) What will you have for lunch today (or had, if past already)?

Pot Noodle (aka Ramen noodles in the USA)

2) Did you go to religious services on Good Friday?

no- but I did watch the Pope on TV

3) When was the last time you ate spinach?

day before yesterday

1)Just where in the world is Carmen SanDiego?

2)What is the most disgusting vegetable on the planet? ( I mean the one you'd not eat even if dying)

3)Is Robby the Robot the greatest robot ever? Why or Why not?

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

1)Just where in the world is Carmen SanDiego?
After a productive joint venture with the tooth fairy, it is said that she is hiding in an Irish forest near Dublin.

2)What is the most disgusting vegetable on the planet? (I mean the one you'd not eat even if dying)
I much rather not eat a number of cooked vegetables specially cauliflower. Now, there is a group of tubers that grow in the Andes known in english as mashua (or cubios in Colombia). I don't know if I would rather die than eat them but it would be a though choice.

3)Is Robby the Robot the greatest robot ever? Why or Why not?
One of the coolest, no doubt (although it reminds me of daleks sometimes).

1. Sousa's marchs: love them or hate them?

2. Military music is to music what military justice is to justice: agree, disagree, why?

3. What music you can NOT stand?

[Swatopluk]

1. Sousa's marchs: love them or hate them?
Neither. I think some are appropriate for some occasions but I generally prefer the European style.

2. Military music is to music what military justice is to justice: agree, disagree, why?
Depends on what one considers as "military music". There is a lot of great music depicting the military, there are a number of interestig military songs too. Military justice is so far a field from the last bastion of justice in an unjust system to the total perversion of summary mass execution that I consider the whole question unanswerable without very precise definitions.

3. What music you can NOT stand?
Volkstümlicher Schlager (there is no adequate English word for that)
Anything oversentimental (languages that I don't understand may be excused occasionally, I sometimes curse my knowlege of Latin because it spoils most of Dvorak's sacred works for me).

#########################################################################################

1. When did it last rain (or snow etc.) where you live?

2. Is the summer usually very dry where you live (and how about the other seasons)?

3. Do you listen occasionally to Rush Limbaugh (and for what reason, if you do)?

[Sibling Chatty]

1. When did it last rain (or snow etc.) where you live?

Rained last night. Snow? 1973, from what I understand.

2. Is the summer usually very dry where you live (and how about the other seasons)?

We'll have a dry late summer and fall, but not too bad. We're at the north end of a big lake, so even when it's fairly dry all around, we get a bit of 'lake showers' in the close-to areas.

3. Do you listen occasionally to Rush Limbaugh (and for what reason, if you do)?

No, I used to have to hear him once in a great while about 10 years ago, and when he had his TV program, we used to turn it on with closed captioning and make fun of him, until my little brother expressed the total of all Rush ever has said and ever will by providing a gaseous recital from any orifice possible.

How often do you have to hear a jackass bray to know he's a jackass? That's why I don't bother.



1. What are your three favorite cheeses?

2. Which family member do you think you most resemble?

3. What's the most fun you've ever had? (With your clothes on, please...)

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

1. What are your three favorite cheeses?

Camembert, camembert, camembert...

2. Which family member do you think you most resemble?

People tell me, I look like my father. My mother always add an "unfortunately" to that statement.

3. What's the most fun you've ever had? (With your clothes on, please...)

With my clothes on? So I can't tell you about the night I lost all my clothes in a club?

Anyway, it would be way too difficult saying when I had the most fun in my life, because I try to have a lot of fun as often as possible.

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

1. Why is sex, in your opinion, considered a sin?

2. Would you ban any religion? Which one and why?

3. You are a dictator of good taste. What would be the first thing you'd prohibit?

[beagle]

1. Why is sex, in your opinion, considered a sin?

It's only considered a sin if you do it before signing a contract with the organisation which considers it a sin. Does that answer your question?

2. Would you ban any religion? Which one and why?

Only the worst excesses of religion, Suti and singing Kumbaya for example.

3. You are a dictator of good taste. What would be the first thing you'd prohibit?

Any television program with the word "celebrity" in it.
