Screw Specksie! Aske me! Aske me!

1. Do you ever forget to ask questions after posting answers?
2. How do you like the city/village/cave system you live in?
3. You evolve into a higher life-form. The name homo-superior is already taken. What do you call your species?

1. All the time! It's almost a sport now.

2. City's questionable, the villagers are pleasant enough, but the cave's a bit damp and rather lacking in comfort. Perhaps a nice Turkish rug and some original Paul Klee oils would help.

3. Just plain homo will do, thanks.

[Hammerite]

answering maquisard's

2. my cave system is quite nice. the bats don't bite.
3. i'd name it after someone. i won't say who.

1. Sometimes, yes.

2. It's OK. I live close to everything which is a big plus. Enschede is not big but it has everything I need: work, a station, shopping mall, and some culture. Some of my friends live here too!

3. Homo extremis.

+=======+=======+=======+

1. What do you think is the most important problem the world faces today?

2. Do you make notes while playing adventure games?

3. How often do you clean your house?

[tsa]

Oops sorry Hammerite I didn't notice your questions.

3. REVIEW MY QUESTIONS!!!

1. Red.

2. That depends on what it is doing. If it is sitting the speed is zero, if it's flying the speed will be larger, depending on many variables.

3. The second one was OK because it leaves room for elaboration.

1. How to fix the mess we've made of the environment

2. Only if I'm playing Loom Notes, geddit?

3. We moved in in 2000, so that would make it... never, or rather never done a whole house spring clean. We run around cleaning up after the kids all the time, but the house has plenty of dirt...

Screw Trepsie, you asked first.

Okay

2. How do you like the city/village/cave system you live in?
3. You evolve into a higher life-form. The name homo-superior is already taken. What do you call your species?

_____

1. Apparently, yes.
2. I find the urban bungalow in Seattle quite appealing, so much so that I've lived here longer than anywhere else in my life (10 years strong now).
3. A most excellent question! How about Canine Carnivorous Abundancousictoudity?

[Hammerite]

NU QUESTIONS??

1. Should I have resucitated this thread or let it die?
2. Is it normal for a teenage male to not be able to get someone out of his head?
3. Plink Plonk?

3. Plink Plonk?

____

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Unknown.

____

1. What's a Plink Plonk?
2. Why do so many people here have avatars that indicate a different gender than they are?
3. If you live in an urban space that ensures that someone will hear you play your musical instrument, does that weigh on your playing?

[tsa]

I'm glad this thread is resurrected.

1. A Plink Plonk is the sound that a nail makes when it hits the ground. There are several types of Plink Plonks, depending on the size of the nail and the type of material that it hits.

2. Everybody wants to know what is on the other side. Hey, I wrote a whole novel about it!

3. Yes.

+=======+=======+=======+

1. Why three questions?

2. What brand of mobile phone do you have and why?

3. At what time do you normally wake up in the weekend?

[Squinky]

1. Because four was too many, and two just wasn't enough.
2. Just an older Nokia model. It's nice and simple and does exactly what I want it to do. I mean, if I want to listen to music, I've got my iPod, and if I want to play games, I've got my DS.
3. Since classes ended, I've been averaging about 10 AM. Which wasn't all that great for me today, seeing as I had to get up at 6 for an 8:30 exam.

***

1. In a relationship, how large of an age gap is too large?
2. Harlequin romance euphemisms or dirty talk?
3. If you could be some sort of god, would you give yourself noodly appendages?

[beat!the!champ!]

1. Depends on the nature of the relationship and the people in it. Quick answer is it doesn't matter as long as they're "of-age".
2. Dirty talk is easier than colorful metaphors. So I'll go with Harlequin.
3. Yes. Al dente.

1. Do you skip breakfast often?
2. Do you feel objectified by the opposite sex? I'll bet you do, sexyface.
3. Wanna get outta here?

I'm with BTC. There are too many variances of dependencies (including lack of) going either direction to come up with a pat answer.

1. Do you skip breakfast often?
2. Do you feel objectified by the opposite sex? I'll bet you do, sexyface.
3. Wanna get outta here?

1. No. But I often just have a banana, especially if I'm getting up too close to lunch.
2. I do, and wish it would continue and happen more often.
3. Ooo, where are we going?!

__________

1. Do you know who the queen of soul is?
2. Directors Cut of Scratches? Why?
3. Do you think that BTC was expecting Squinky to reply, or was pretty much open to anyone at all taking off to be objectified?

[Squinky]

1. I've always thought it would be fun to be the queen of people's souls. (That said, yes, I do know who Aretha is.)
2. I dunno. Haven't played the original.
3. Only Lee writes questions with the expectation that I'll reply to them. Maybe BTC's trying to fill the void left behind in his absence.

***

1. Can value judgements have truth values, or do they simply consist of matters of opinion?
2. Is it possible to have a civil discussion about religion over the internet?
3. What do you think of reverse discrimination?

3. What do you think of reverse discrimination?

1. I started answering that absolutely they can, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that those values are reasonably considered as true by common morality. But morality is culture based, and in the end, is opinion of the masses. Hmmm... I would say more that they can, but don't always do.
2. Yes. As long as theirs an appropriate forum with a charter for such, it can happen. I've seen it. It's not always civil, but sometimes it is.
3. The term is absurd. It's abused and applied too broadly. Ironically, I believe it to be racist in nature. It flies in the face of the efforts to bring an end to affirmative action by bringing racial equality to the common morality table.

Geeze, such heady questions from Squinky today!

_____

1. Have you ever passed someone you know in a grocery store and avoided eye contact because you didn't want to stop and talk to them?
2. Have you ever distanced yourself from a close friend or relative because they 'found God' again?
3. Do you hold contempt for someone because they don't know what they want, or how to get out of a situation that they don't want to be in?

1. Yes, often. I'm not always in the mood for talking.

2. No, but I can imagine I would if someone I knew would find God again.

3. Of course not. Almost everybody I know goes through or went through such a phase.

+=======+=======+=======+

1. Do you feel respect for the people who made the things you own?

2. Do you ever wonder how electronic equipment works or how it's made?

3. Have you ever done something justt to prove to yourself that you can?

Sorry about that. I'm in the middle of trying to write a philosophy paper.

1. If it's something I like, yes. Cuz man I own some crappy things.
2. I live in an age of wonderment. Or rather I live in this age with wonderment.
3. Yes, and my brain exploded!

-

1. Have you ever abused drugs to the point of addiction?
2. Have you ever made a life-changing decision without realizing it at the time?
3. If you had to choose: unsure future with a happy past? Or a hopeful future with a sad past?

1. Yes, I have some hazy days in my past
2. Yes, I'm sometimes slow on the consequences of my decisions.
3. Um, like we have that choice? The past is past. But in a fantasy world, I would choose for a happier past, with the assumption that it would lead to a more stable future than I'm currently concerned with.

_____

1. Have you ever consumed drug that you've regretted taking?
2. Has anyone secretly fed you a drug that you would rather not have consumed?
3. Tell us all about that one single event of your past life that you would change.

[SSH]

1. Never taken any drugs except alcohol, caffeine, non-opiate painkillers and antibiotics, although I've regretted the quantity of alcohol sometimes...
2. Not that I know of
3. Telling my wife that I thought her friend was attractive... never heard the end of that one.

-----

1. Do you have a mother-in-law? Or equivalent in a non-married partner relationship...
2. Do you think mother-in-laws should be banished to the 7th circle of hell?
3. Guess who is coming to stay at our house today...?

[ssa]

1. Not any more...just ended a ten year old relationship. But I'll probably still keep in touch with her long after I've stopped talking to her son. I Love Her!

2. Only yours apparantly

3. The mother-in-law from Hell?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Do you think there should be an international law for releasing all adventure games in english?

2. I wouldn't tell my man his best freind was sexy, unless I wanted to hurt him/our relationship. So why do men think they can get away with it.

3. Are cat people and dog people separate breeds or races?
