Meditrina 03-17-2006 12:05 PM

I had think about that one. I know I ate at KFC about 2 months ago. I am pretty sure I had fried chicken.

My favorite part about spring is being outside in the sun, listening to the birds, and smelling the fresh air. What do you like best about the Spring season?

SSJTWIZTA 03-17-2006 03:40 PM

it would either be My birthday, st pattys day, or 4-20.

Are you a water person, or a land-lubber?

Gilda 03-17-2006 04:01 PM

I fear the water, unless flying high, high above it or drinking it. Can't swim, don't care to learn.

What one artwork, book, movie, painting, song, that most people aren't aware of should everyone experience before they die? I'd want everyone to read one of the great comics, Watchmen, or possibly "The Anatomy Lesson" from Swamp Thing. Comic books as capital A art.

Gilda

Poppinjay 03-18-2006 02:55 AM

Either Will Eisner - Dropsie Avenue or Lydia Millet - Omnivores.

Have you ever been mugged or robbed? I haven't, but only because I was extremely quick on one occasion.

CubanCigar 03-18-2006 04:02 AM

No, but I probably will eventually given the place I live (downtown LA.)

Worst drug you've ever done and do you regret it? For me - Marijuana about 6 times, I don't regret doing it because I wanted to know what it was like, and it turns out it isn't for me.

Grasshopper Green 03-18-2006 04:51 PM

Well...I guess I would have to say aspirin...and I regret it because it made my stomach hurt like the devil. I've never done illegal drugs.

Do you like the beach or mountains better? It's a really hard decision for me because I live in the lovely Rockies, but I'd have to say the beach. I find watching and listening to the waves come in very relaxing and reflection-inducing.

Gilda 03-18-2006 05:51 PM

The beach: Bathing suits and the ocean. Not for me.

The mountains: I like looking at them from a distance, but hated driving through them to get past the continental divide.

I'll go with the mountains. The bathing suit thing makes the beach the less pleasant of the two upleasant choices.

You sit down to order a carbonated beverage. Did you just order a soda, a pop, a soda pop, a soft drink, or a coke? For me, it's a soda.

Gilda

Charlatan 03-18-2006 06:26 PM

I order pop. Soda just sounds odd, makes me think of baking soda.


I've done a lot of work around the house... some of it I even like. Have you done any renovations around your house? Did you hire a contractor or do it yourself?

Gilda 03-18-2006 07:56 PM

It's a brand new house, just two months since completion. Not much work to be done, but the little stuff Grace and Sissy know how to do. Anything bigger means hiring a specialist.

What is your favorite sport to participate in?

I'm a runner. When my arm heals to where the impact vibration doesn't cause a lot of pain, I'll go back to it. I was up to 4.2 miles a day before the accident, and closing in on five. Now it's forty minutes on the no-impact eliptical. It's so boring I sometimes think my brain will explode.

Gilda

CubanCigar 03-19-2006 12:42 AM

Favorite sport to participate in?

I played Lacrosse (goalie), Track (Sprints), and Roller Hockey (goalie) in high school. I'd say I had the most fun playing as roller hockey goalie....I fucking hate running.

QUESTION for next: Biggest regret in life?

I was on this girl's bed in high school...her asking me, "what do you want to do?" and I was such a pussy I didn't even kiss her, being brainwashed to "respect women" (to an absurd level, still do for the most part, but not a pussy about it) when in hindsight she was begging for action.

Poppinjay 03-19-2006 04:05 AM

That happened to me on one occasion. Then there was the time that news of a truth or dare game got out to a girl I really wanted to have sex with. She found out, and came up to me with a big smile on her face to let me know she knew. I was embarassed and walked away. I finally figured that out ten years later.

Is the light at the end of the tunnel or are you just walking in?

It's at the end of the tunnel for me.

noodle 03-19-2006 08:22 AM

the lights are along the sides of the walls every so often for me. Just far enough apart that I have to spend some time in the darkeness before I get to the next warm glow. The darkness helps me to appreciate those periods of light even more.

What is the thing that you've created that is most important to you, other than kids?

maleficent 03-22-2006 07:33 AM

a friendship with a very special person... miracle of miracles, I spent an entire week with this person and not once did they get on my nerves... (though I'm sure I did some nerve getting)

What made you smile today?

Charlatan 03-22-2006 07:36 AM

Mal's post (see above)

What do you you like on your toast?

Poppinjay 03-22-2006 07:41 AM

Fleischmann's olive oil spread, or sometimes raspberry jam.


When stress gets annnoying, where's your favorite place to get away from it all for a few hours? I used to go to the beach, but now I need to find a new place.

fresnelly 03-22-2006 07:43 AM

Peanut butter or just butter, but never the two together. Strawberry and Raspberry jam and Marmelade are also tasty. (with or without PB)

I prefer Nutella on fresh, squishy white bread, rather than toast.

Edit: Too late - I like to just wander around the neighbourhood - through the streets and back ally's. I window shop, look at the houses and people watch. I find this very relaxing. I miss the days when I had time to catch matinee movies on a whim too.

What's your favourite type of pie? Apple is best, but I love all kinds. Except cherry.

maleficent 03-22-2006 12:03 PM

mmmmmm pie

Pecan Pie... Fresh Apple Pie... Boston Cream Pie... Lemon Meringue Pie... Blueberry Pie... My fabulous cheesecake pie with or without the strawberry topping...

mmmm pie....

What'd you have for lunch today? I had left over, left over baked ziti...

Poppinjay 03-23-2006 11:31 AM

My wife and I had burgers at Lone Star while we discussed our sick cat and the large amount of poop our main dog supplied us with yesterday. Then when we got home, we found our auxiliary dog had broken into the trash and spread coffee grounds all over the carpet.

Who's going to win the NCAA touorney? I'm pulling for Duke, but I think I picked UConn.

After last night, I'm thinking maybe LSU. I picked UConn, too, and know after watching the games tonight, I'll probably change my mind. Again.

When did you last attend a funeral? I went to my grandmother's yesterday. She was 98, and the death was not unexpected.

Gilda 03-24-2006 04:57 PM

Thirteen years ago, my sister's funereal, though I don't remember it. Much about the time following her death is lost for me.

What was the last thing that made you realize you're not as young as you used to be? I just got a high school reunion invitation (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, sorry, had to get that out of the way), reminding me how long I've been going to school continuously and how long it's been since I left home.

Gilda

777 03-24-2006 10:35 PM

What are you talking about?! I'm as young as I feel :p And it's great hitting on younger gals. Then I feel as young as they are ;)

When was the last time you ate cookie dough from the package with a spoon? I had some white chocolate with macodamion nut cookie dough last December.

ash 03-24-2006 10:49 PM

wow, i ate cookie chocolate chip cookie dough last week. i love that shit!

what to you think about media censorship?

Poppinjay 03-25-2006 03:19 AM

I absolutely hate it. Truman did something interesting with the WH press pool. He invited them into the oval office, and gave them all the info about the pending D Day invasion.

When a reporter asked if it would be disasterous if they reported the plans, Truman said yes, and it was up to them how and when to report it.

When put in that kind of situation, any decent journalist will be responsible.

What are your weekend plans? We're going to grocery shop and keep an eye on our sick cat.

Grancey 03-25-2006 09:04 AM

I'm working props for our community theatre production of "The Foreigner." I really hope your cat feels better.


Have you ever tested for radon in your home? I bought a test yesterday.

nukeu666 03-25-2006 03:25 PM

radon the element? i just check my room for hidden money and edible consumables

if there was a power outage, what would you be doing right now?

Charlatan 03-25-2006 03:46 PM

Reading by candlelight.


I went and saw Shakespeare in the Rough, what did you do during the big August blackout a few years ago.

fresnelly 03-25-2006 04:21 PM

I was in Niagara On The Lake, about the only town in the whole region that successfuly maintained power. That afternoon, I was pulling out of my driveway there to drive to Toronto for the weekend, when I noticed that almost none of the radio stations were coming in. I stopped, tuned around a bit until I found an active station and heard the news. The full scope wasn't known yet, so the big story at the time was the absolute traffic chaos downtown and on the highways. Dejected, I turned around and stayed there.

Honestly, I was a little disappointed not to be there, despite the inconveniences. I was a little jealous of all the spur of the moment BBQ's, block parties and civic good will that flourished that weekend. After it got dark, I went down to the lake, where you can normally see the glow and skylines of Burlington through Toronto, but instead, only saw stars. I sat down for a spell and enjoyed the view.

How did you cope in your last major blackout?

Poppinjay 03-26-2006 03:39 AM

Our last major outage would have been during hurricane Irene, I was at our station which had generator power.

What are your favorite Sunday comic strips? If you can't tell, mine is Pearls Before Swine.

SirLance 03-26-2006 12:40 PM

Calvin & Hobbes!

What do you do for Sunday dinner? We usually either go to or have my folks over, we have dinner & play cards. My parents are aging (mom's 80 & dad's 86) and we want to spend as much time as possible with them. Usually, my wife's mom joins us.

Do you do anything special with family regularly, or even semi-regularly? What is it? Do you enjoy it?

maleficent 03-26-2006 12:51 PM

Christmas I am subjected to my family for dinner... I do not enjoy it... It's yet one more day for me to hear all about how I've screwed up my life and how I will never find anyone to love me.... blah blah blah... and how it's a shame that I've not had chidren because children are the be all and end all of the universe... Yeah -- whatever...

What do you think of your family? mine are lovely people, and extremely helpful to everyone else -- their idea of helping me is to criticize every choice I've ever made.

AVoiceOfReason 03-26-2006 04:38 PM

I like my family just fine. My parents are both dead (2004 and 2005), but my two brothers are nice guys. I'm closer to those I go to church with, though.

Have you been watching NCAA basketball games? I watch every year, but this year, the quality of the games, i.e. how close so many of them are, have made it MUST SEE TV for me.

I think you are thinking of Roosevelt; Truman wasn't even VP in June 1944, was he? Or maybe a different invasion in the Korean War, perhaps?

Toaster126 03-26-2006 09:34 PM

I watched the George Mason \ UConn game today. Yay for underdogs!

What is your biggest fear? Do you know why you have it?

maleficent 03-27-2006 09:55 AM

that no one will ever truly love me and I will die alone... :( yeah - I know why I have it...

What do you see outside your window right now?
There's a little pond behind my office complex that about 1/2 dozen canadian geese are swimming on right now... the sky is a lovely shade of blue and it actually looks like a nice day...

Poppinjay 03-27-2006 10:31 AM

(AVOR- actually that anecdote was about Eisenhour as a general, I mixed up my seminalpeople)

I hear a flapping American flag. I no longer see it because I grew weary of seeing it, torn and in disrepair, out my window every day. So I lowered my blinds.

What's the last DVD you rented? I have to return Sopranos Season 2 today

fresnelly 03-27-2006 11:00 AM

I rented Primer: a high concept sci-fi about want, greed, friendship and trust. In it, two engineers build a backwards running time machine in their garage. What happens next (before?) is pretty original, if a bit confusing - Paradoxes are a bitch.

I recommend it, with the caveat that you'll likely need to watch it a second time or go online to read the competing fan theories about the plot. It's also a talky film with very little action and made on a shoestring budget.

What's next on your fun-stuff-to-buy list? I'm looking for a cool piggy bank for my son.

Lucifer 03-27-2006 11:12 AM

A phone like Charlatans. I've got to wait till I start making money again.



what are your plans for the summer? I'm going to work, and going to Portugal when I take vacation in Sept.

We've not made any yet, but this serves as a reminder to bring it up to the missus. I need to block off some time on my calendar as soon as I can and then work around it.

How many vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles) have you owned in your life? I'm 47, and am on number 7. That does not count the vehicles that we have considered to be my wife's ride--I've been a co-owner on those, too, and that would be 6 more since we married 25 years ago.

Carno 03-27-2006 03:26 PM

I have owned three cars since I started driving. Actually all but my current truck have been in my parent's names though.

What make/model/year is your car?

maleficent 03-28-2006 11:46 AM

I do not own a car... I like my sneakers... :)

Flip a Coin... heads or tails?
(I picked tails and was incorrect)

TotalMILF 03-28-2006 12:37 PM

Heads. Always heads.

What is your favorite kind of meat? If you do not eat meat, what is your favorite kind of vegetable?

Poppinjay 03-28-2006 12:40 PM

My favorite tasty animal flesh would be a nice rare tuna steak.


What was your favorite toy as a kid? Mine would have to be a tie between my matchbox car collection, or my Weebles jet.

BigBen 03-28-2006 12:49 PM

My favorite toy was my GI Joe tank. It took 8 D-cell batteries, and it was awesome. It ran over my legos like a real tank would have.

What is your favorite Artist? I like Monet.

Charlatan 03-28-2006 01:04 PM

That's a tough question. As far as painters go, I've been a fan of Klimt since I first saw his paintings in the opening sequence of the film, Bad Timing: A Sensual Obsession.

There are many other types art and artists that I greatly admire, but Klimt is the painter I can readily point to and say, "him."


Do you have a favourite pair of underware? I have a black pair of Stanfield's (cotton fitted boxers) that I wear to important meetings.

BigBen 03-28-2006 01:19 PM

As a matter of fact, I do. I have a set of polypropylene (sp?) long underwear that keeps me toasty when it is REALLY cold. I find that I am in a good mood whenever I wear them... possibly because I am warm and comfortable.

Do you ever do things that are patently "Trendy"? I wear a baller wristband (2, actually).

Poppinjay 03-28-2006 01:21 PM

No. If I did, the trend would instantly be over. I don't like to go where the crowds are.

I'm Baching it tonight, and my exciting plans consist of writing up my last few articles due before I quit tomorrow. What would you do if you were/are on your own tonight?

maleficent 03-28-2006 01:23 PM

too slow...

trendy? Me? I'm an uber dork...I wouldnt know a trend if it jumped up and bit me on the nose... my ipod was as close to trendy as I got - but that crashed and burned on me and now i'm stuck with a crappy cd player cuz i'm too cheap to get a new ipod...

I'm on my own every night... I would make dinner, watch television, read a magazine, play on the internet, I m ust get my taxes done tonite.. but that's pretty m uch m y boring life..



What's for dinner tonite? I'm making chicken in black bean sauce...

Carno 03-28-2006 02:34 PM

Dinner? Um.... no idea. Probably nothing. Often times I skip meals for no apparent reason, even though I'm hungry. Today will probably be one of those days.


What is the most expensive piece of electronics that you have bought (excluding computers)?

Gilda 03-28-2006 06:05 PM

That I've bought? That would be my Ipod $400.

That we've bought as a family?

It's either the TV or the reciever. I think the receiver, a Denon avr 5805. Unless speakers count, in which case it's the speakers, Axiom Epic 80 600.

What one material object luxury would you most miss if you had to give it up for good?

I'd miss the computer the most, I think. It's through the internet that I come closest to having actual friends.

Gilda

Toaster126 03-28-2006 07:16 PM

I'd miss the internet\computer use the most as well. If I stop and think about how much time I spend on the various internet things I do, it's almost scary. Almost. :P

What was the defining moment of your life so far?

TotalMILF 03-28-2006 08:25 PM

Giving birth, although it was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be.

The third finger on my left hand, because that's where I wear my wedding ring.

How often do you turn/rotate your mattress? We rotate ours end to end once a week when we change the sheets.

Gilda

SirLance 03-28-2006 10:52 PM

Delmonico steak, medium. Veggie: Portobello mushroom. I once had a vegan freind fix me a grilled portobello mushroom. It was awesome. He had marinated it in some sort of lime cilantro thing. Man, that was good.

edit: dang it, too slow. Rotate the mattress every Saturday.

What is the best restaurant you've ever eaten in?

maleficent 03-29-2006 06:37 AM

Jean Georges in NYC - owned by celebrity chef Jean Georges Vongrichtensomethingorother... Outstanding service... impressive wine list with wines from 20 dollars to well over 1000 dollars (the 20 dollar wines were quite good)... The food was incredible.. but the service... Totally unobtrusive.. but we never wanted for anything - the water glasses magically got refilled... we needed something - -the waiter appeared... and then they'd disappear just as quickly... dinner for four people I think came to over 1000 dollars - it was an incredible treat...

These days, I slob out a lot more - JG was great for dress up - but I'm muchmore casual - and prefera good burger, crispy fries and an ice cold draft

I'm contemplating a move in the next few months, if you could live in any city, where would you live and why?

Charlatan 03-29-2006 06:44 AM

I'd live in London. I've said it before, but when I am there, the place just sings to me. Despite never living there, it always feels like home (that said, I hear Canada is nice too).


I am flying to Europe tomorrow. When was the last time you flew and where did you go?

Toaster126 03-29-2006 06:48 AM

Chicago. It's a nice city, with lots of things to do, and the suburbs there are the same as all the other Midwest suburbs. I also have an aunt and some cousins running around there. :)

What is your favorite board game to play?

Edit: BAH! The last time I flew I went to Cancun during the Winter break of 1999-2000. I suspect the process would be more stessful now.

What is your favorite board game to play?

Fly 03-29-2006 06:48 AM

last year about this time.........we hit disneyland.



just made a nasty pot of coffee........you ever make a bad pot of coffee?

maleficent 03-29-2006 06:52 AM

board game to play - Monopoly or Life

Bad coffee?? Yup... but it's not something i talk about i dispose of the evidence and start over... :) or use it to water the rose bushes...

What's one of your favorite movie quotes... the one on my mind these days is from The Lion in Winter... "When the fall is all there is, it matters. "

Carno 03-29-2006 06:54 AM

I don't make or drink coffee, so nope, never have.


Have you ever thrown up on someone?

healer 03-29-2006 06:55 AM

Oh yeah...when we first got our coffee maker. Tasted like old shoes. We generally screwed up the first few attempts with most new household applicances.

That said, what's the weirdest thing you've ever put in a microwave oven?

fresnelly 03-29-2006 06:58 AM

I don't give any movie quotes too much weight, but my mind keeps coming back to James Dean in Rebel Without A Cause, yelling "You're tearing me apart!" at his parents.

Edit: Whoa. Traffic jam on the thread.

I've never thrown up on anyone, but a friend once got drenched by a stranger on a rollercoaster.

The strangest thing I've put in the microwave would be an old J-cloth. It seems to eliminate the skanky smell.

What's the next movie you're looking forward to seeing? I'm going to go see Inside Man tomorrow evening. The trailer looks amazing, so I'm working hard to keep my expectations low.

Charlatan 03-29-2006 07:11 AM

I too want to see Inside Man but won't have time. I will likely be watching whatever they play on the plane tommorow (edit: just checked and it looks like it will be Pride & Prejudice).

I needed sunglasses this morning, is the sun shining where you are?

Carno 03-29-2006 07:21 AM

Unfortunately yes it is.. Severe clear, as they say.


Have you ever been bitten by a wild animal?

Poppinjay 03-29-2006 07:26 AM

No. Unless bugs count. Or one of our cats, who fancies herself Montecore, and everybody in her path is Roy.

Have you ever skinny dipped? I have.

BigBen 03-29-2006 07:31 AM

Not only have I skinny dipped, I've gone Polar Bear Skinny dipping! (My balls still haven't dropped)

Do you lend money to friends? I don't.

JustJess 03-29-2006 07:34 AM

For things like lunch and all that, yes. I know where to find them when I'm low on cash too!

Do you tend to hold it for a long time when you have to poo (choosing time and place sort of thing), or do you run for it? When I have to go, that's it, it's time to go.

Charlatan 03-29-2006 08:08 AM

The images that are running through my head... :lol: Run! Jess! Run!

I don't hold it any longer then I need to. I can and will hold it if the nearest toilet is disgusting or if I know I will be home soon. Otherwise, I go when I it's ready.


I need a new suitcase, my old one is about six years old and it needs some serious repairs. When was the last time you bought a suitcase and what does it look like?

Lucifer 03-29-2006 08:45 AM

I bought a new duffel bag two years ago from the MEC. It's honkin huge (I think it is their biggest one) and it comes with wheels/handle, but it also has zipaway backpack straps. I think it's great cause it's made of real heavy duty material, and I can put all my work gear, including 2 pairs of steeltoe boots, in it and there is room for more. This is the same one, but mine has wheels.

http://images.mec.ca/media/Images/Pr...9830536535.jpg

I had to get a new passport recently. Do you have one and do you think it was an incredible pain in the ass to get it?

maleficent 03-29-2006 08:45 AM

bought it about 2 years ago... (that's about the limit a suitcase could handle the constant travel I was doing) It's a grey blue (Makes it super easy to spot on the baggage carousel) with a big red hello kitty luggage tag on it... and inline skate wheels, and a retractable handle that you have to push a button to get to... (the button prevents the handle from breaking... I think the manufacturer is Skyway... It also easily fits into the overhead luggage bin...

Too late

My passport is about 5 years old -- and was super easy to get -- got my pictrues taken at the Port authority after waiting 2 minutes in line - printed the form online - and then went to the main post office in nyc (I worked 5 blocks away) to get it filled.. on a rush order - I had it in my hands in 2 weeks.


I have a container of black licorice on my desk - and i'm getting abused for it -- apparantly it's not as good as the chocolate I usually supply for my colleagues.. What's your opinion on licorice.

Lucifer 03-29-2006 08:54 AM

I'm not a black licorice fan, but I like the licorice allsorts. You should tell your colleagues to get stuffed! buy their own damn treats!


I made tortellini the other night and it sucked. What have you made recently that was terrible?

fresnelly 03-29-2006 09:19 AM

On the weekend, I poured orange juice on my cereal by mistake. That's right. I made a bad bowl of cereal.

If you ever do this, do not give in to temptation and try it. Trust me.

If a friend won the lottery, would you accept the gift of a large amount of money?

In the end, I probably would, but only after a serious sit-down discussion about it's meaning and his expectations. I would insist on a specific amount that say, paid for my kid's tuition, and was not just an extravegant round number.

maleficent 03-29-2006 09:38 AM

No I wouldn't... money and friendship are a bad mix... my imaginary friend could set up a trust for my imaginary children, or take me on an imaginary vacation...but just handing over a lump sum to me - -I'm way too untrusting of people's motives... I couldn't accept any money..

Are you looking forward to opening day for baseball? It's been a long winter- I need me some yankee baseball - OK I live in the hell that is new england but I can find me some yankee baseball I know I can...

Carno 03-29-2006 10:24 AM

Hell no. I find baseball to be boring and detestable.


How much money do you have in your wallet/purse/pocket right now?

Poppinjay 03-29-2006 10:27 AM

Easy $0.00


What kidn of shoes are you wearing? I'm wearing black suede slip ons.

Supple Cow 03-29-2006 10:33 AM

Converse Chuck Taylors - purple with black laces.

I hate umbrellas, even when I get terribly wet in a rainstorm. Do you own an umbrella? If so, what does it look like?

Carno 03-29-2006 10:35 AM

Nope, I don't own one. I used to have a small black one when I first moved out of my parent's house, but I lost it shortly thereafter.


Do you like wearing hats? What hat do you wear the most?

BigBen 03-29-2006 11:19 AM

I wear a green beret most of the time.

But I like fitted baseball hats, too.

Would you rather starve for a day or go sober for a month? Me? I'd live without the food for 24 hours... what does that say?

itch vaccine 03-30-2006 02:26 AM

never starve for a day

sober for a month yes.

Have you lost your mobile before? Do you think it's quite a bitch if you do?

maleficent 03-30-2006 05:25 AM

A few years ago, I was on the train from NY to Washington DC, and took a quick nap, when I woke up, my laptop, Palm and Cd player were still there, but my cell phone was gone... Replacing the phone was easy... Replacing all the numbers in the phone was a freakin' nightmare... I did not have one phone number committed to memory and was pretty much screwed...

When's the last time you had a cast on a part of your body? what'd you do to get that cast -- my left wrist/hand is currently encased in a soft cast... due to a tumble down a hill..

SirLance 03-30-2006 05:49 AM

I was wounded in action and had casts on my left arm and knee. 3 months of PT...

That was 22 years ago...

What's your favorite sport to particpate in? Do you belong to a league?

Edit: Apoligies, VoiceOfReason reminds me that I should answer my own question. Bowling, and I'm in a league, and golf, but I'm not in a league.

You didn't answer your own question, btw.

Golf is now my favorite sport to play. I don't belong to a league, because I hate having to be somewhere at a specified time to have fun, and people depending on me to be there. It's too much like a job.

Speaking of jobs, have you ever been fired? I don't believe I ever was fired from a job per se; I've been fired by clients, but when the day was over, I still had my job as an attorney. Since I'm the owner of the firm now, it's not likely I'll ever be fired!

Poppinjay 03-30-2006 08:27 AM

I was fired when the place I worked sucuumbed to the early 90's recession. The man who fired me then went on to make possibly the poorest career choices ever, and went from a large market radio manager to a small town AM radio "swap shop" host.

Sorry for the shaudenfreude.

Have you ever had a case of shaudenfreude?

777 03-30-2006 08:41 AM

Shaudenfreude? What's that? (consults Wikipedia, finds nothing)

Pick any two: Chocolate, Strawberries, Whipped cream.

taking delight in the misfortune of others..

My Shaudenfreude story:

One day, I was driving the speed limit down a parkside road where speed traps are common. The light ahead of me turned yellow and if had I been driving faster, (the norm) I could have made it through, and the car behind me could have (illegally) justified pushing his way through too. Not wanting to speed, I braked and stopped.

I can't remember how I knew, but I could tell the guy behind me was pissed at my inconsiderate display of following the rules. As soon as the light turned green, he screeched out from behind me (remember, this is on a street next to a park) and tore around me through the intersection. Not 50' farther down the road, a cop stepped into the middle of his lane and put her hand out like Moses parting the Red Sea. He screeched to a halt in front of her and probably got a huge ticket. I giddily drove by at a modest speed, laughing all the way.

777: Strawberries and Whipped cream for sure.

Do you regularily attend live sporting events? Which ones? I'm going to try and get back into baseball this year.

BigBen 03-30-2006 09:21 AM

Yes, I try and attend WHL hockey games as much as possible. My buddy also dragged me out to one of his kids soccer games.

I'm like "Fuck that shit, I'm not going to watch some little kids play indoor soccer. Let's go drinking."

"Dude, there is a Bar at the soccer centre."

"Really? Let's go..."

He proceeded to get me liquored up, and we turned into cheerleaders. His kids call me "Funny Uncle Ben", and all of the parents started to get into it. I could care less, I had no shame. It was great. I haven't been invited back, though...


Do you look at the cleenex after you sneeze? I do, and I thought everybody did until recently..

JustJess 03-30-2006 09:29 AM

I TOTALLY do. I want to see if it's yellow, so I know if it's just allergies! :D

What about TP? Do you check that? I may... just to see if I've done a good enough job. Mommy told me to when I was little and it stuck. (poor choice of words...)

maleficent 03-30-2006 09:33 AM

Well yeah, so you know you are done... :)

Is anyone else concerned about JustJess's fasination with bathroom habits? I'm just a little bit concerned... :D

Sorry for interuping but I think this question would make a interesting thread.

Some may be, but as the one answering, I'll have to say "not concerned at all."

Have you ever travelled across the equator? I have not.

JcS

Grancey 03-30-2006 09:30 PM

I have not travelled across the equator.


Have you ever encountered a non-human predator when hiking or roaming through the woods.... I have enountered rattlesnakes

little_tippler 03-31-2006 04:42 AM

Hmmmm....I haven't been hiking through any woods any time recently, and the few times that I have, the answer is no.

Do you ever feel like bursting into song in the middle of a public place just to see peoples' reaction?

maleficent 03-31-2006 04:46 AM

Normally I hate attention, and being looked at so no, not intentionally... though before my IPod broke, I had been known to unintentionally break into dance if specific songs game on... (there was this episode in the laundry room of my last place of residence where I danced about the laundry room singing as well (rather loudly and very off key) to Led Zeppelin's Fool in the Rain.. (I did get applause from my audience when I finished but I have never been so embarassed in life... )

Do you like attention? Why or why not? i personally hate it and would much rather blend into the woodwork and not be noticed... other than for work... but I will still never take sole credit for anything...

Toaster126 03-31-2006 07:23 AM

I like positive attention. Actually, it's prolly more accurate to say I hate being ignored more than I want attention, lol.

How did you meet your best friend?

ScottKuma 03-31-2006 08:09 AM

I met my best friend (and wife) at a Ren Fair. We were introduced by a mutual friend. I was supposed to be helping a desired girlfriend move. She never called me, and was PISSED when she found out that I had started dating my wife.

Her loss.

What is your favorite movie...and why?

BigBen 03-31-2006 08:38 AM

The Big Lebowski, because it is a metaphor about life. The closest thing I have ever seen, anyway.


How do you order snacks at a theatre? I get a little extra butter in the middle of my popcorn, and ask for "Not Much Ice" in my drink.

No candy for me, thanks.

JustJess 03-31-2006 09:05 AM

I ask for a little butter too! No ice in the drink at all, and I usually don't get candy cause I'm not really into sweets. (Wanna go to the movies together??)

When was the last time you made a bad decision? I made one last night. *sigh*

maleficent 03-31-2006 12:07 PM

All I have to do is look at the time lately, and realize that in the previous 10 minutes, I probably made a bad decision... Bad decisions this week have resulted in a cast, a black eye, inhalation of extra strength rolaids right now (baked beans as a side order with lunch was a really really bad idea). I am the queen of bad decisions these days...

Did you do your taxes yet? I finally got mine done this morning... they are in an envelope ready to go to the post office.. (which will probably take me another week to send them certified mail)

TotalMILF 03-31-2006 07:41 PM

Yup, got our refund a week ago! It's already gone. Bah!

Whose voice do you think is more irritating: Rosie Perez, or Fran Drescher?

AVoiceOfReason 03-31-2006 08:29 PM

Fran, but not by a large margin.

Will you pay to see a professional sports event in the next three months? I can't imagine I'll be anywhere that the pros are playing, so I'll say no.

Poppinjay 04-01-2006 07:53 AM

No, well maybe a Potomac Nationals game since they're cheap. I muchly prefer college and minor league teams.

Have your allergies started acting up? Mine have.
