Toadfish Monastery

Recent conversations in the shout box have revealed the possibility that we are all in fact identical. This would not be surprising in a spiritual community, particularly if we have all incarnated from cosmic dust.

The Monastery Inmate Clone Survey Service (MICSS) has been set up to investigate this aspect of the living entities within the Monastery.

From time to time we will be carrying out carefully constructed surveys based on observations by our members.

At this time, we have no baseline. We do not know if we are already identical. Therefore, if at the end of time we are identical, we will not know whether we always were, or whether we have merely grown to be so due to our Monasterial Life.

Let us hope that these surveys will assist future beings to research this important aspect of the Toadfish Monastery and know the truth.

We at MICSS encourage everyone to reveal their true identity here by indicating above what they feel is the truest statement about themselves at this moment in time.

Thank You.

Love Pratchett, have a Samsung printer, am quite tall. 

;D

Yeah that ^^^  ;D


... canon printer

Someone needs to design a cannon printer.   ;D

Someone needs to convince Lexmark to make printers that actually work...

Love Prachett, no actual working printer, and I used to be considered tall, but it was an optical illusion.

I've a crapper Lexmark of my sister's here...  if it didn't have a scanner bed on it, it's be recycled by now. 

rather tall, have no printer (although my work has a hp one) cant be doing with adults reading childrens books - there are plenty of good sci-fi and fantasy books fopr grownups!!!!

Don't like Harry Potter, don't have an HP printer (actually no printer at all), am quite tall...

Love beer though... :D

I am petite (I think that sounds better than short, whadda ya think NoName?  You and I are petite  :D), I do have a HP printer and I love Harry Potter and his creator (JK Rowling...she has done much to promote research into MS).

Oh my gosh, NoName, you ARE my clone from across the pond, or maybe we are one in the same person, or twin daughters from different mothers!  :D

Edit: Oh, and I love Pratchett also.  Late bloomer though, having been introduced to the man (in the literary sense) just this year (thank you Aphos and Bob).

Like the guy so much, everyone on my gift list this Christmas is getting a copy of "Good Omens".

I'm noncommital about Harry Potter, don't have an HP printer (but I do have an Epson and a non-working Lexmark!), and am rather tall (6'0").

Based on the number of people who don't love Harry Potter, don't have an HP printer and aren't rather short, it seems we may be made up of TWO groups of clones.

BTW - since when are literature appreciation and printer ownership genetically inherited traits?   ;D

Love Harry Potter.
Love Pratchett.
Have a Lexmark printer at work, a Canon and an Epson at home.
I'm tall, but often a little short (don't carry money often  ;)).

Love Harry Potter
Medium height
Have ancient Brother laser printer

Seems I am unique, based on 2 of 3 characteristics: height & printer-ownership.

USED to own a lexmark, but quickly discovered it's drivers are HUGE, BLOAT-WARE, and it cost more than the printer to replace the stupid ink.  Faugh!

I'm not really small and never read Harry Potter. But I do own 2 HP printers.

And the printer costing less to replace than the ink is a common thing.. I never bought printer ink, always new printers. It's way cheaper.

With one printer (Lexmark, IIRC) that we had in an office I worked in, we found that the cartridges that came with a new printer hold significantly less ink than ones you buy separately.

Edit: but extra printers are useful for other things, though.  I mean, how are you supposed to build an army of robot minions without a cheap and abundant supply of stepper motors?   ;D

Aye, my new Samsung is cheaper than the toner cartridge (LASER, JOY!), but the 'starter' cartridge is about 40% the capacity of a replacement cartridge.

Not available outside the US, Territories (and APO), but

http://www.carrotink.com

makes owning a printer and having ink a possibility.

• Quite tall
• Quite wide
• Have several HP printers, although main printer is a Canon
  
• Love Harry Potter
• Adore Terry Pratchett
• Other favourite authors include David Brin, Greg Bear, Gregory Benford, Verner Vinge, Stephen Baxter, umm, quite a lot more besides.

Bluenose

Love Harry Potter (I hated it before but read it to my son and whaddayanow)

I positively hate all forms of HP products including printers. (I have and unused Epson multipurpose in front of me, a relatively new cannon with a clogged head, and my working printer is a somewhat ancient Lexmark for which I buy ink not cartridges).

I am 5'10 (1.78m) (semi-tall?)

Lastly, being this a a monastery I will confess my sins: I haven't read Pratchett. I know  :oops: I promise once I finish what I'm currently reading (Solzhenitzin) I'll check it out.

But..but...but...  That could be years!  :)

I am average in height, have an old Epson printer that occasionally pretends to be broken but will rise from the dead again if I blow it out with a can of Office Duster, and am an habitual meditator. (See also Daydreamer, Flake, Self-Trancer and Tourist of Nirvana.)

I always thought beer tasted nasty, but then grew up and realized that Guiness Stout was surely a divine inspiration and now appreciate many other stouts and beers. That St. Peter's stuff is wonderful! Also Chimay.

This poll shows how wrong one can be when extrapolating information from a mere shout box.....

Maybe we are clones in the like-to-talk-about-our-preferences aspect!
;D
