Smell. I would miss it, but I'd live without it. Especially considering the bombs my cats leave me sometimes in the litter box. Heh.

Edit, not fast enough.

Reagan, without a doubt.

Do you use an appointment book, a PDA, or your head to keep your calendar?

It's all in my head.

You wake up one morning and find yourself in the middle of a desert, you don't know where you are but you know you've never been here. You walk for five minutes seeing nothing but sand and sky when a jeep driven by Osama Bin Laden and a few of his companions pulls up behind you. One of them can speak english and offers you a ride, what do you do?

Take it, I'm Canadian and he doesn't hate us!


If you could eat just one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?

Oh that's easy -Human Breast Milk. Because it's most nurishing.

What color are your sleeper jammies? Do you ever wear them outside?

In about 28 days... six hours... 42 minutes... 12 seconds, Donnie.

Do you believe we actually got the "real" Saddam? How many doubles were there really anyway?

Yeah. The imposters only look convincing in telephoto lenses and Satellite photos. Whether they actually found him in that hole is a question for Tilted Paranoia.

Have you broken your New Year's Resolutions yet?

Hey! what happened to my question above about the UN?

Lucifer: No, and no.

What is your favorite cookie?

too slow

Cookie - My homemade lemon bars.... or snickerdoodles


If you could write a book about anything - what would the topic be?

An engaging mystery, revolving around a long hidden treasure in the heart of a major metropolis, such as Chicago or New York. Adolescent perhaps, but exploring the history,architecture and culture of a storied city in this way would be fascinating.

Furthermore, there would be absolutely no focus on religion, secret societies and the fantastical. Instead, the city itself would be explored through an obfuscating web of beaurocracy, landlords and tenants, ethnic tension, and regular folk just trying to get through their day. Sort of a cross between Chinatown, Law and Order, and The Goonies

What are your plans this weekend?

laundry, grocery shopping, a little house cleaning, probably a dozen hours of work, lamenting the fact that I have absolutely no life, taking out the trash

Wanna come over and play?

Mal, I would looooooooove to come over and play with you and here are my reasons.

1. You come across as being somewhat lonely and a little under the weather and I'd love to cheer you up.

2. With the aforementioned taken into consideration, with your own confession of being without sex for some time, I'd love to give you the man love you're clearly wanting and needing

3. I'd love to taste your snickerdoodles...if you know what I mean.


Question: Do you know what I mean?

Sure!

Do you have a Ping Pong table?

No. But I do have the boardgame RISK...

What's your favourite board game?

I don't have room for a ping pong table. But my Mom has one in the basement of her house.

Damn too slow.

My favourite board game is currently Risk. Though I am also a fan of Sorry. I kick ass at Sorry.


Describe the shoes you are wearing right now. Assuming you can tell all about someone by the shoes they wear, what do your shoes say about you?

Red Timberlands, look rather like bowling shoes. Well-worn.
They say that I am stylish, fun, yet comfortable. ;P

What TFP-er would you most like to meet, and why?

If I were single I'd have a tough time choosing, but the why would be onefold - teh sex.

So, either Aberkok to hear him perform, or maybe BigBen to listen to the military stories or Maleficent to see if she really drinks that much coffee.


How do you like your eggs?

Over easy. Not too runny and not too solid.



Ever have fantasies about a tfp'er and who it is?

I like my eggs either over easy or in an omlette...

Sultana: comfortable? hmmmmm....

Damn it... too late.


There are a few women on the TFP that I fantasize about... there is no need to name names. :o


Have you ever been put in an uncomfortable position by having to answer a difficult question?

Ummm...Ummm...UmMmM.... *runs away*

True or False: Money is the root of all evil.. explain.

Patently false.

Money is simply a bartering tool. Greed on the other hand...

Have you ever dialed 867-5309 to see who would answer?

No, but that song was on the radio as I came back from lunch today.

Ahhhh, the 80's.

What is the most difficult technical thing you've ever done.

No, because I don't like prank phone calls. Check out the Snopes article on the phone number:

http://www.snopes.com/music/songs/8675309.asp

Edit: Too slow

Right now I'm working on a 3D Autocad drawing that's pretty tough. It's a section of circular aluminum truss. I'm trying to draft an internal skeleton of the frame but the original was drawn as a solid object, rather than a line drawing. This means it has no snap points and I have to constanstly change the viewing plane to match the cross members and draw a ridiculous amount of construction lines. Many, Many steps.

Are there any household chores that you secretly enjoy?

I like cleaning the kitchen. I am a bit obessive about it.


Have you ever made a crank phone call? Details.

when I was in high school, some friends and I called our English teacher at 3 am, and yelled, "Beware the Ides of March! Beware the Ides of March!"


is a bar of soap self-cleaning? so in the shower you could start by washing your genitals and move up to your face and it would be ok?

No, in fact I've found hairs on the damn bar left behind by my brother and if the bar of soap was "self-cleaning" it wouldn't be there would it?

Juice, but not orange juice because the acid hurts my mouth.

What is your favorite number and why?

Burning human flesh... its a long story...

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?

Yes, it sounds like this: CRASH.

Do you play any instruments and if not what would you like to play if you got the chance?

Used to play the trombone,(not any more) but I would like to play the guitar, violin, flute, and piano.


Name your favorite style of chapeau.

I have a black watch cap, which I really like, but I miss my straw boater from back when I was young and distinctive.


Google or Yahoo!?

Google me baby... Yahoo as a search engine has gotten a little tired... especially for news stories...

What do you do with your spare change?

I do 2 different things with it, A: Combine it with other spare change and get something from teh vending machine. Or B: Use it to pay for parking pass at school.

Stargate or Battlestar Galactica? Why?

Galactica all the way. It is character driven, and science fiction backed, instead of the opposite. Stargate worked well as a movie, and did well for about 4 of the 9 seasons that we've seen so far, but it lacks a measure of humanity. Every episode of Battlestar has been unequaled in entertainment history, in my eyes at least.

Favorite cheese?

extra old cheddar. "Cheese, Gromit, Cheeeeeese!"


Favourite movie?

Cheddar cheese! I know it sounds plain and boring but I can not get enough of the stuff!

Night to yourself, read a book or watch a movie?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...maleficent.jpg

took ya literally there, Mal...

hmmm you beat me to it Lucifer!

Aliens! I cant get enough of that movie (with the s, part 2 that is)

I ask the same question again seeing as I cant answer myself!

Night to yourself, read a book or watch a movie?

Either a movie, or at the moment, seriously addicted to Ace Combat 5 on PS2!

I'm gonna have to go with maxim. It's driven by the need to have articles for men in casual life that touches on every subject and of course, who can resist those fine ladies?

Favorite TV show of all time (including past shows)?

BUFFY!


21 Jump Street Johnny Depp or Pirates of the Caribbean Johnny Depp?

Yikes, this one is tough.....
My favorite tv show to watch is Sex and the City. But my favorite tv show since I was about 12 is Mary Tyler Moore. Because we're all going to make it after all. ;)

What is the best concert you've been to?

In regards to Lucifer's question, Pirates of the Caribbean Johnny Depp all the way.

For shesus, I've only been to one concert the Rocking the Corps concert at Camp Pendleton. It opened with Godsmack and I loved it for that alone. I wouldn't mind seeing another Godsmack concert.

What's the best gift you've ever been given?

Her hand in matrimony.

I have three sisters and one brother, two sisters who are both about 8 years older, twins, a brother who is a year older and a sister who is 4 years younger.

Do you believe in democracy?

By regularliy changing a government, Democracy helps the balance of power and offers accountability. OK, that sounds a little naive, but it's the best we've got. All the other 'ocracies and 'isms that you can run a country with, put too much faith in the human nature of those in power.

What's a fun thing you'd like to have with you, if stranded on a deserted island?

hmmmm, a fun thing on a deserted island. I think I would take my mountain bike. I am imaganing some nice lush vegitation with natural wildlife trails. Give me my bike and a nice hydration pack and I would be set.

Do you think it is right to have our freedoms limited in order to keep us "safe".

Yeah, its one of the tough things that the government has to do; to be able to balance between freedom and security. Sometimes they can only go so far.

What's your favourite day of the week? And why?

Believe it or not, Monday. I work 7 days a week, so that's not an issue. Monday is when I'm usually most refreshed and can actually sleep in a little.

Out of the remaining teams, who do you want to win the Superbowl?

Day of the week... Considering I've worked retail, and will be starting a sales position, Friday and Saturday are the busiest days. So I would have to so that Sunday is my favorite day. It's completely open for whatever I want.

What is your dream job/career? If you are in that career already, would you quit your current job if you found the a risky opportunity to follow your dreams?

Dream job wouldbe to own a smallish inn in the mountains of Vermont or New Hampshire with an outstanding restaurant in it... (menu by me). If I had the money to do it - I'd do it in a heartbeat - if I could get the financing (which wouldbe incredibly risky) I'd make sure i Had a solid business plan in place (I"m halfway there with it) and do it...

What are your friends like? They like you or opposites

Some of my friends are pretty close to me, alot of us mountain bike and hike and such. All the ones that mountain bike also play guitar (as do I). Then I have other friends that do neither and are completely different than me. So I suppose I would say I have a very wide spectrum of friends; some are like, some not so much.

Do you make purchases because you saw the item on a commercial or do commercials have little effect on you?

I don't think commercials have that big of an effect on me. Billboards and photo ads have more of an appeal especially in regards to fashion. Commercials on tv annoy me so much. Or if they're funny I have no idea what they're advertising after they're over.

Define you style in one sentence...fashion style that is. ;)

Comfortable, casual, and cute, the typical collegiate couture. Like my use of alliteration as well. :lol:

Coke or Pepsi?

Coke all the way!



Valentine's Day: actual holiday or over-hyped ripoff?

Valentine's day is an over-hyped rip-off. But I always use it as an excuse to get more lingerie. ;)

Do you prefer hot weather or cold weather?

Cold weather

ER or House, MD?

ER, closet-Weaver freak!



Criminal Minds or Law & Order?

To tell you the truth I watch like 1 hour of TV a week, maybe even a month. I have never even heard of Criminal minds and I have seen only half an episode of L&O. So Law and Order gets my vote because I have at least heard of it.

Do you like onions?

mmmm onions... yum yum... vidalia and red are the only ones i like raw - but cook everything else.... i'm in heaven... onion soup - mmmmmm-- carmelized onions.... mmmm- anything but creamed...

Do you like to cook,. what's your specialty and have you posted the recipe in tilted cooking?

yes...garlic-roasted chicken...yes...

ever been to disneyland...not disneyworld, disneyland...the original one in california?

Yup....many times as a kid. Only two hours from good 'ol San Diego. Went before they changed it...the first time. Then went after they changed it the third time......even goosed minney mouse as a teenager.


Ever Eaten Snails?

Escargot are insanely good --I've made a delicious version with butter and garlic and parlsey and a puff pastry topping -baked for about 15 minutes-- mmmm mmmm good...

What kind of drunk are you>

Never been drunk, but I would hope I would be an amiable and jolly drunk. (I fear I wouldn't, though)


Have you ever got stuck up a tree, afraid to climb back down?

sure, when you're up a tree 6 feet can look like 60.



What's the strangest thing you've ever eaten?

When I was only 5 years old, my older sister and her best friend forced me to act like a cow and graze in our front yard. She made me eat grass. I'd have to say that was the strangest thing I've ever eaten.




You've made quite a name for yourself posting here in the tfp. Having gained that bit of notoriety, you've been asked many questions that just seem cliched and trite. I don't want to do that to you out of respect for your craft and your time. So, I'll ask a simple question: If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

Easy, I would be a Weeping Willow. No I am not some pansy that cries all the time, this is about trees gosh darnit! I love the look of the tree. As a child vacationing in BC at the lakes there would be weeping willows everywhere. Playing in the shade of these magnificent trees is amazing. They just sing of beauty and they remind me of being young and free.

How do you feel about the way the world is moving in its food aspects? The way everything is instant this, instant that, fast food, sprayed with pestasides, pumped full of hormones and steriods ext. ext.

We've lost touch with our food. I personally am trying to move back to organics when possible. Can't give up my Lean Cuisines, but aim for the spa ones with whole grains. Always feel better when I'm eating less processed, hydrolyzed, and hormonalized stuff. I bow before the altar of Whole Foods and Fresh Market. :D

On that note, what are your healthiest and unhealthiest favorite foods?

Healthiest: The humble apple.
Unhealthiest: Deep. Fried. Cheese.

What's the most you've ever spent at a restaurant on a single meal?

About 50 bucks, it was buying chinese take outs for the family.

FedEx or UPS?

UPS - the prices are better.

Do you have any birds? If so, what kind?

Neither, I just use the USPS for everything. Even that iPod I sold once.

Considering it's late January, are you still keeping your New Year's Resolutions?

I don't really make "New Years Resolutions". But recently I have been trying to spend less time on the computer, and more time reading, doing school work, and getting fit. I have been doing a pretty decent job of it so far (going on my 4th week now). So I would say that my resolutions to try and manage my time better have been successful.

How much TV would you say you watch in an average week? This excludes putting in movies.

seeing as i didn't see the point in making any this year, i'd say yeah, i'm keeping my new years resolution of not making any ;)


and in answer to plummie's question - no birds here, one or two birdbrained people in my life but no pet birds - the obnoxious ones that cheep outside my window in the spring are bad enough... :D


blah's question -- When i am home, my tv is almost always on, primarily for background noise... i can't stand total silence... but i would say i watch maybe 2 hours of television per day...

do you like snow/ why or why not?
