Halx

So, a long time ago, I started the "Ask Hal" thread. It was a hit and many members started a thread of their own to mimic it. Well, I'm starting it up again.

Ask me a question and I guarantee I will tell you the most truthful answer that I know.

The blog entries that I have read on TFP seem very similar to TFP journal entries. What should make the content of one unique from the other ?

Why do you still wear legwarmers when you'd look so much better in fishnets?

I am going to buy 8 Linksys wireless router that also serve as wireless access points. they have 4 port gigabit switches in them. Can I daisy chain them through the wired switches, or do I need to run a cat 5 from the main router/switch to each one?

Grancey: You can post whatever you want in your blog. It doesn't have to be different than the journal if you don't want it to be.

dlish: Maybe... if the questions get out of control.

jewels: Because leg warmers remind you of when you could still get laid without trying.

QuasiMondo: Yes I do, but NY summer makes it impossible to wear.

Psycho Dad: You can daisy chain them, or hook them all up to the main router. They should work either way.

Daval: No, I had a few on AIM but they never log in anymore. Besides, I'm across the country.

How big is your penis, in millimeters, to no less than two significant digits? (new people need to know these things if us old-timers already do.)

Halx

MSD, I have never held a ruler up to my penis. That is the absolute truth!

When are you going to tell us more stories about working at Matt's? Those posts were awesome!

Now that you are older and wiser, which is the more relevant pursuit? The pursuit of love or pursuit of career goals?

Halx

Daval, I have more stories, but they're not as vivid or "in the moment" as the ones in my Porn: From The Inside threads. They're more bragging than anything.

ngdawg, I would say that career goals are dominating my attention at the moment. I see potential in myself, and I would be remiss if I didn't tap into it. Besides, I live in Manhattan now.. if I don't push myself to advance in my career, then I'll be broke in no time.

Hal, what would be your fantasy dream casting for a remake of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope? (Bonus points for including production crew.)

Halx

Baraka_Guru: I am not that big of a geek, but I am enough of a purist to not want a remake. I actually don't pay too much attention to actors to be able to formulate a competent list.

You're a man of ambition. You have a few ideas floating around about business ventures. Do you plan to materialize any of them--even without competent partnership/help (be it brain, manpower, money)? Like the Tilted Cafe? What's the game plan?

KellyC: If Uncle Scrooge could dive, swim and surf in his pile of money, I can only skin board. I have a solid business plan that I would like to get off the ground with relatively few invested resources, however I am waiting for the time to manifest itself. Rest assured that I am still a very ambitious guy, but I have been focusing on staying afloat with my job and my relationship lately. There will be a day when it comes easier for me, and on that day I will begin.

Hal, is it that Ohio State fans made Jim Tressel arrogant yet unexciting, or did Jim Tressel make Ohio State fans arrogant yet unexciting? And how many games will Tennessee win this year?

Hal..when is the last time you blushed?

Bacchanal

This made me think of one...

When you picture a bag of dicks, what do you see?
Is it like a plastic bag and they're all mushed in there like chicken parts with a date written on it in Sharpie to keep in the freezer?
Or is it like a paper bag, and they're sticking out like baguettes kinda like you went shopping?
Or what...?

Can I answer that one Bacchanal? As soon as I read that I pictured a paper bag full of penis... then you put that as one of your choices. Pretty funny if you ask me.

Hal, do you ever dream of just leaving everything behind and just running away some time?

Craven Morehead

Hey Hal, how do you take your coffee?

Halx

Crack: Brad Pitt

ring: A couple weeks ago, during the weekend.

Bacchanal: I picture a zip-lock bag full of realistic-looking dildos.

Meditrina: Haven't YET...

blahblah454: Yes, I do. A lot.

Craven: Light and sweet, please.

I live in Manhattan too, but Manhattan, Kansas, not NY. I just felt like contributing...

Manic_Skafe

Everyone talks about the gentrification of Brooklyn and how much it sucks that neighborhoods like Williamsburg are ruined because all the trustfund artsy kids moved in and ruined it. But honestly, I'd have never hung out there before then. In fact, I'd be too concerned about dodging bullets than having a good time.

Do you like Williamsburg?

punkmusicfan21: I try not to watch too much television, but I recently moved and decided to get a premium channel package. Now I only watch the movie channels and the HD channels. I don't watch anything religiously, but Secret Diary of a London Call Girl is on my DVR.

The Faba: I have a question for you - does Faba mean "fat bastard"? I think I heard that somewhere.

Manic: People can bitch all they want about the gentrification of Williamsburg, but it hasn't yet reached the degenerate point that the entirety of Lower Manhattan has. When I don't need to walk more than 5 minutes to the nearest GAP or H&M no matter where I am at, then the city has lost its soul. Williamsburg is OK in my books. Its not dead yet.

ColonelSpecial: The one thing I would LOVE to see from members is the initiative to create content for the site. Take twistedmosaic for example; He's like MacGuyver and he documents his little contraptions and modifications and posts them here. Or you could take clavus's example and see how he used to post his funny little anecdotes and people LOVE them. I also make it a point to post stories and articles that I write. Its all in an effort to make this place more interesting and unique.

The Faba

Halx: Faba actually is an Austrian name that is a twice corrupted variation of the Faba bean. Interestingly enough if the word had not been altered the end result would have remained the same in English.

My question is 'What color are your bathroom towels, and do they match the rest of your bathroom?

Atreides88

How do you pronounce your handle? Is it "Hal-X" or "Halcs?"

Dear Hal,

Will I ever be a lesbian?
Like a real lesbian.
Not some powder puff 'it's cool to sleep with girls lesbian.'

Let me just clarify two things for you Crack:

1. The question was for Hal.

2. I wouldn't be the kind of lesbian who would let you watch.

mixedmedia: I don't think you will ever be a lesbian because the fantasy of having me keeps you totally straight.

Crack: I would love to live in San Diego. Great weather and lovely locals.
