Why not?

1. Hunting, fishing or ewwww... no thanks!?

2. What was your first job?

3. Are you musical?

[DeadPoet]

1. Hunting, fishing or ewwww... no thanks!?

Fishing! I love it. Fishing used to be one of my favourite hobbies;  it's terrribly boring but it's an excellent way to relax and think. Plus I can eat fish (I'm usually too lazy to make some, but it's a different thing when I catch it myself)!! I love fish. (Salmon! SALMON!!)

2. What was your first job?

I gave private Latin and French lessons to finance my driver's licence. While at university I did a lot of jobs, for example working at a carpet discounter in Munich  ...

3. Are you musical?

Kind of. I play piano and some bass guitar (and some classic guitar.. but everyone can play some classic guitar..). I don't have a lot of time for practising, but as a student I used to play in two (rock) bands. And, in another attempt to raise my standard of living while preparing my doctorate, I played piano in a bar in Paris two evenings a week to earn some cash (I played jazz; I don't really listen to jazz  a lot because I find it lacks structure, but jazz is more fun on the piano than classic).

Besides, I love music in general and spend a lot of money on CDs and LPs.

1. How did you imagine how you would be living now twenty years ago? To which extent is reality different?

2. Are you married/divorced?

3. Why do you post on this forum (regularly)? What keeps you here?

More coffee (!) ...

[Aggie]

1) Fishing for fun, hunting for food.  I don't trust fish much anymore, especially in the scummy flatlands and around orchard country, though I'd still eat 'em from some of the smaller bush lakes around home.

2) Dishwasher - led to cooking. 

3) Not very, mostly due to lack of manual dexterity and patience to learn.  I swear my head is musical; I 'hear' very accurate reproductions when I hear songs in my head, and it drives me nuts to hear someone whistle or sing a 'wrong' version of a song, even though I couldn't do it myself.
--------------------------------------------------------

Oop, DP beat me to the punch.  Go with his questions.

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

1. How did you imagine how you would be living now twenty years ago? To which extent is reality different?

At the age of one, I'm sure I didn't think about those things much, but I recall, when I was a kid, I was thinking about the year 2000 a little, and I was like "wow, I'll be sixteen in the year 2000, that's like impossible"...

2. Are you married/divorced?

None... I have time. Hell, I don't even have a steady girlfriend at the moment.

3. Why do you post on this forum (regularly)? What keeps you here?

I enjoy it. I really do. I love the people here, and I'm pretty sure they don't hate me much either. It's a place where intelligence meets imagination and random silliness...

Two opposite ways, one sinful the other not (I think): a long hot shower, and playing first person shooters.

[Bluenose]

1. Alone at the top of the mountain or with your friends at the beach?

Can't I go to the beach with my friends after I've spent some time on my own on top of the mountain?

2. If you had the chance to have something with the cute girl/boy you liked in high school, would you?

Nope

3. Postmodernism: great or crap?

Crap.  Sometimes great crap, but mostly just plain old garden variety crap.



1. Beef or lamb? (Vegetarians - Brocolli or Brussels Sprouts?)

2. If you could choose to be frozen/put into suspended animation/whatever and then be revived 100 years from now with a 100% guaranteed chance of survival if you act this year, would you?

[Sibling Chatty]

1. Beef or lamb? (Vegetarians - Brocolli or Brussels Sprouts?)

Beef

2. If you could choose to be frozen/put into suspended animation/whatever and then be revived 100 years from now with a 100% guaranteed chance of survival if you act this year, would you?

Nope

3. If yes, what about if your chances were only 95%?  If no, what might persuade you?

Hell, i'd go with the thing if Dan and Spencer would come too, and if I were guaranteed a cure for at least the cancer, and maybe a couple of the other problems. (The neurological ones would be favourite.)

1) Do you sleep with a fluffy pillow, a flat pillow or more than one pillow?

2) Disney or Warner Brothers?

3) If you could observe one 24 hour period of history...when and where?

[Swatopluk]

1) Do you sleep with a fluffy pillow, a flat pillow or more than one pillow?
One rather flat pillow that is folded once

2) Disney or Warner Brothers?
If it has to be one of those it definitely would not be Disney!

3) If you could observe one 24 hour period of history...when and where?
Difficult. Do I get a translator? Probably something in the far past in Mesopotamia or Egypt (but focus on what?).
The return of the Phoenicians after their circumnavigation of Africa in the 7th century BC. Would be interesting to know how old Necho reacted when the news arrived that the ships he sent out 3 years before southward had come back from the north.
