The Never Ending Toadfish Interview Cycle!

[Sibling Chatty]

1. Best show/concert you've ever been to?

Arrgh...different categories!!

Beatles in the early/mid 60's??
Placido Domingo, several times? (NOT either Pavarotti concert, may he RIP. Domingo's always been better, IMO)
Zappa?
Arlo Guthrie was WONDERFUL.
Several Peter Paul and Mary concerts...

The day there was a guest in my voice teacher's studio, and her dear friend performed an aria for us (me and the 14 vocal pedagogy students that got to come to my lessons to learn how to teach singing). Lovely older woman, Maria Somebody...oh, yeah, Callas!!

Hearing her, from 10 feet away, singing Un Bel Di. Not a complete concert, but possibly the most powerful musical experience I have ever had.

2. What is your opinion about the various 'social networking' sites?

Meh. I'm just---meh--about the whole thing.

MySpace

German and English. I understand a little bit of French and Norwegian, so short-time survival seems possible.

Hm, don't exactly know what that means. Is it anything that is not just consumed for nutrition?
My mother can do a good cake. I also am addicted to certain types of crisps.

sports, followed by German (aka spoil the fun of literature course)

Terrible! Every club we go into, the seals just spill everything and then leave me with the check!

2. What's your opinion on martial arts?

Good to watch as ballet. Good for tuning up the ol' physique and self-discipline.

3. Should/can corporeal intimacy be enhanced with "expert advise" (maritial arts.)

That depends on what you call an expert. A therapist? A prostitute?

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

1. Is there in your opinion a good reason to hunt whales?

Two reasons, but only hypothetical:

1) To find a cure to save people/animals.
2) There are too many wales and they would endanger the nature's normal flow.

I don't know the opinion of the apes, so not sure if I agree with them...

Brake all the barriers and walls. It worked in Germany after all...

When an animal is smarter than the US president. Grant the rights to all animals I say.

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

1. What do you consider more disgusting - pedophilia, zoophilia or necrophilia?

2. Are sex and violence compatible?

3. When should it be allowed for minors to have sex?

Bonus: Is sex a joke?

[Griffin NoName]

1. What do you consider more disgusting - pedophilia, zoophilia or necrophilia?

Why would we have been given two feet if they weren't meant to be mates?

Rare breeds should be protected.

So I guess that leaves necrophilia.

2. Are sex and violence compatible?

www.scotsmist.co.uk/glossary_c.html defines "compatible" as a term that refers to a computer that can run DOS software. Thus violence would seem to be compatible and sex not.

3. When should it be allowed for minors to have sex?

Before bedtime?

Bonus: Is sex a joke?  If so, it's a real cracker !

Dolly Parton. If it worked for sheep, why not for people?

To keep their outerwear from sticking to stuff...

1. What influences your choice of clothing (apart from the price)?

2. Are squids a good alternative to fish as "pets" ? (and what about crustaceans?)

3. Is abstinence (not just sexual) a virtue in itself?

Bonus Questions: Where is the baby?

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

1. What influences your choice of clothing (apart from the price)?
It should look nice, elegant or distinctive without being obnoxious.

2. Are squids a good alternative to fish as "pets" ? (and what about crustaceans?)
I'd say they are better but should get more attention and toys (which exactly I don't know  ). Re: crustaceans, I don't like the arthropoda phylum with few exceptions (I love taking pictures of butterflies).

3. Is abstinence (not just sexual) a virtue in itself?
If abstinence comes from an inner desire to control urges (usually primal like food and sex) then I think it is a lofty goal. If it is an imposed precondition (like for priesthood) I think it is a bad thing that will be likely to spill at some point in one form or another.

Bonus Questions: Where is the baby?
In the fridge

1. At what point is the line from comfort to luxury crossed?

1. At what point is the line from comfort to luxury crossed?

The point where the panty line is invisible. Why spend extra on something no one can see?

2. What comforts do you take?

Duvet days. I wish I had a pocket sized duvet to take around with me when I have to do a non-duvet-day.

3. What luxuries do you take?

Chocolate. Anything digital; can't resist.

Bonus: babies, roasted or grilled?  Roasted. The delicacy of crisp skin and succulent flesh. Yummy.

1. Do you have freckles?

2. Assuming you use a QWERTY keyboard, should we switch over to a more effective style of key arrangement?

3.How big do you like your windows?

[Sibling Chatty]

1. Do you have freckles?

Everywhere but my face, basically.

2. Assuming you use a QWERTY keyboard, should we switch over to a more effective style of key arrangement? 

I use Dvorak. Faster to learn, easier (if you don't allow your previous training to brainwash you, or if it's what you start with) and a more efficient use of the hands.

On a QWERTY kb, my fastest time EVER was about 25 WPM. I can hit 40 on a Dvorak board easily, and can push it to 50 WPM if I am in a hurry.

3.How big do you like your windows?

Depends on the room...gotta have enough wall space for bookshelves, otherwise, I could do mostly windows, little wall.

3. When was the last time you kissed someone (not the friendly way, the lover way)?

Bonus: Should kisses replace hugs?

[Pachyderm]

Yes, I have been told I am. As I have never been able to kiss myself, I can only listen to those on the receiving end.

2. Do you kiss often?

Not nearly as often as I would like.

3. When was the last time you kissed someone (not the friendly way, the lover way)?

I prefer to count it in Ice Ages, then it's only four...
