1. Po.
2. All I've seen of them is that "You ARR a pirate!" segment, so I can't quite decide.
3. Donald has no pants, but I still prefer Mickey, for some reason.

1. Which is more important: tolerance or acceptance?
2. Did you take the road less travelled?
3. Why do both women's magazines and men's magazines contain pictures of scantily-clad women?

1. Acceptance
2. Often, that's the road where you meet the nicest people.
3. Because most men and most women like beautiful girls

===========================

1. Do you like cheese?
2. Do you find violence fun?
3. Live fast, die young, a good idea?

1. Nope. I'm as introverted as people come.
2. Wine. Champagne is nothing but sparkling wine produced in the Champagne region in France.
3. Depends on the mood. Right now, I feel like being alone.


*************************

1. I drink lots of green tea, at least few cups everyday. My father told me that I should cut down because he heard from somewhere that green tea has compounds that prevents the absorption of necessary mineral, especially calcium, in our body. Is there any truth to what my father told me?

2. If Eric Clapton is indeed god like Jimmy Page once claimed, why does he perform on Sundays?

3. Is John Williams (the guitarist not the composer) as good as I was led to believe?

1. No clue. I'd ask your father to cite his sources, though.
2. Because Sunday is a social construct.
3. I'm flattered that you think I'm an authority on what constitutes good music. That being said, I have no idea.

1. Do you actually find the scantily-clad women in magazines beautiful?
2. Does porn objectify women?
3. Do you ever spell "porn" as "pr0n", just for the fun of it?

1. Well, scantily isn't in my dictionary. I guess you mean women with hardly any clothes at all, but still not vulgar pictures. Then yes, thay can be beautiful and I look at the pictures as art.
2. Yes, I do believe it does.
3. Never.

-----

1. Give some examples of what you think is beautiful. All categories.
2. Give an example of behaviour that you don't accept although you know that others accept it.
3. Have you even had a friend that stole all your energy to the point you had to end that friendship?

EDIT: Beaten again, I think too long when making my questions.

3. Maybe

1. As in people, I think their personality makes them cute or beautiful. I try to look at people’s personality before their looks. Art – I try and keep an open mind too what the person was creating.
2. Pawing disruptive children onto someone else.
3. Yes.

1. Effects pedals.

1. Bright city lights, live jazz music, coffee from Caffe Artigiano, poetry flowing straight from the heart, unexpected acts of genuine kindness.
2. Drinking. (I merely tolerate it.)
3. Never had that happen to me before, strangely enough. When people steal my energy, I tend to be passive-aggressive about it.

1. Well, I buy myself coffee several times a week. That's rather nice of me.
2. Thinking.
3. I think I'd get along with most of you, to be honest. That said, there's one particular person I'd love to hang out with sometime in the future, whose identity should be blatantly obvious by now.

Looks like I've been beaten too many times, so I won't ask questions.

1. Vague question, but I assume you mean what have I treated myself to, right? Well, yesterday I went on two separate dates. The first was lunch with R, who I don't get to see as often as I'd like. We caught up on each other's lives over some seriously good authentic cuisine in the city's Thai neighourhood in Hollywood. Then I met C at a cafe in West Hollywood. He's another respondent to my profile. We had a splendid time talking about why we cannot stand [organized] religion and how stupid many people are believing the bible and Koran literally, and how ridiculous man Angelenos are in their shallowness and lack of intellectual capacities. Heh, we were evil.

2. Again, a rather vague question. It could be visiting this community, gaming, anything that puts a smile on my face. Yesterday it was coming home to Nanay after my date and seeing her snuggled up in bed before I fixed myself some hot beef consomme.

3. Too many to pick just one. Too many.

Do what I usually do: Write the answers and end the post with "QTC(UB)" (meaning Questions To Come (Unless Beaten)). Then you can take your time thinking of questions and edit them in when they're done.

Or do what others do, and answer all questions asked above your post.

1. I'm certainly not a dog person. (Dogs don't like me, and I get nervous around them.) But how about a basset?
2. You didn't specify a time interval, so the answer must be "any speed above 0".
3. I'm not sure that means he's more grown up than we were.

1. Do you think I'll be able to get my PC working any time soon? It's been out of order for a long time now, but I hope to get it running next week.
2. What makes good music good music?
3. What makes a good musician?

Then you really should meet my dog Jaffa. She has a therapeutic effect on people. People who normally are uncomfortable around dogs feel connected to her since she has this soft and gentle approach.

Many times, dogs tend to take on the characteristics of their owners, especially if their raised by the own since birth. If the owner is sweet natured (as Jelsie obviously is) chances are her dog will be, too.

1. If you put your mind to it, you can do just about anything! Okay, maybe not, but thinking you can do just about anything still works wonders, regardless.
2. Determining whether music (amongst other things) is "good" is a highly subjective thing. Particularly where I'm concerned.
3. Lots and lots of practice.

1. What's more important to you: the little details or the big picture?
2. How good are you at handling a pair of chopsticks?
3. How often do you get sick?

1. The devil is in the detail, and so am I.
2. Fairly mediocre, I hate Chinese food, so have no reason to ever use them.
3. At least once a year, the common cold loves to take an annual vacation in my body.

Of course it is. That's why I asked, and hoped for an interesting answer.

1. The big picture, but the little details can be very interesting. Both to work on, and to discover in someone else's work.
2. Not at all. I've never learned how to use them properly.
3. Not often at all. I've been sick in bed two times the last year, and that's more than usual.

1. I admit to having skimmed a bit when there's been a lot of posts.
2. I've heard it's not the proper way to have it, but as I don't drink alcohol I don't feel strongly about it one way or the other.
3. "I'm My Own Walkman" by Bobby McFerrin. Or something funky with plenty of horns.

1. Favourite sections of the AG forums?
2. Most useful website you use?
3. Strangest thing in your internet bookmarks?

1. Depends on my mood, but I often try to read everything.

2. Nah. Most martini connoiseurs tend to be snobs who claim to know what a true martini is and how it's made. I usually order mine with vodka (like Bond), slightly wet, and with a bleu cheese olive if available. Otherwise it's a regular olive (usually stuffed with pimento) or a twist of lemon.

3. I already have one, a personal anthem. Lighthouse Family - High.
