The final question of this particular post: If someone told you they were reliving the same day over and over (like in the movie Groundhog Day) would you believe them if they said the next five things you said at the exact same time you said them?

As to your first question, I can answer that although it sounds a bit sophisticatedly funny, the word 'ye' does not fit in our time properly. "Ye olde tavern" is not considered as catchy as "Yo man, here's the bar". The latter phrase is therefore more economically feasible.

My answer to the second question is that, as a hardcore CLI fan I have used underscores instead of spaces in my filenames for a long time. I now have two macs, and I see myself taking the liberty of using spaces in filenames more. However, in names of directories (which are called 'folders' by people younger than me) the use of spaces inhibits the proper working of bash, which I still use quite often, and so I refrain from using spaces in directories.

The third and final question you asked was a bit of a no-brainer for me. I can answer it with a definite 'maybe'.

Sometimes I'll watch shows on really expensive houses.

Services and objects would replace money.

I don't really know any Mac users.

All-way stops or roundabouts?

Do you wear shoes inside homes?

Do you have a high standard of living?

1. Roundabouts
2. No I don't. I find it uncomfortable.
3. Yes. I have a house with electricity, tap water/running water and a working sewage.

1. What sports excites you the most?
2. What kind of art interest you the most?
3. What kind of music do you listen to most often?

[Squinky]

1. I'm excited for there being enough snow up in the mountains to go skiing. Does that count?
2. The interactive kind.
3. The eclectic stuff that winds up on my iPod, which includes ridiculously silly pop music from various decades (but predominantly the 70's), soundtracks from musicals that normal people are too embarrassed to admit they like, weird video game jazz, and Dance Dance Revolution music.

***

1. Skiing or snowboarding?
2. Dance Dance Revolution or Guitar Hero?
3. Laptops or desktops?

[undeaf]

1. Neither, too cold, I'd probably get sick, and too expensive. But snowboarding seems preferable, at least your feet aren't locked in, and you don't need to buy special shoes.
2. Haven't played either, but DDR seems to have far more of a point.
3. Desktops. Full tower, with 14 cm or bigger fans, at least 4 hard drives, and fifteen pounds of foam, rubber and sorbothane to dampen everything. And, ideally, the case should be made of copper. Oh, and the screens should be a trio of CRTs each at least 21 inches.

Just kidding, I'd actually like to switch to a microATX sized system.

1. SED or OLED monitor?
2. Antenna TV or ISDN?
3. Rudder pedals or force feedback?

1. Um..... OLED! Because... I totally know what that means... ahem....
2. ISDWhat? Geez... Uh... Well Antenna TV sucks so I vote the other one.
3. Force feedback, for sure. It beats taking a bike and pedaling.

1. Did you watch Football today?
2. What is your favorite bird?
3. If you had a vegetable garden with four forms of produce growing, what precisely would they be?

[Squinky]

1. The day I watch football is the day adventure gamers everywhere unanimously decide that they want more action sequences.
2. Iago, the parrot from Aladdin.
3. I don't want a garden. I suck at gardening. I really do. Geez.

In honour of this thread's first birthday, which was yesterday, I'm going to post the very first set of questions:

1. Were you popular in high school?
2. What colour is your toothbrush?
3. Do you currently have anything better to do that you should be doing, but aren't for some reason?

[Trumgottist]

1. No.
2. White and blue.
3. No. I have plenty of things I should (or want to) do, but a general lack of time is the biggest reason for me not doing them.

---

1. Would you rather watch football (i.e. soccer) or "football" (American football)?
2. Which sport do you prefer watching?
3. What kind of toothpaste do you use?

[Squinky]

1. I'd rather watch Bend it Like Beckham. Football is far better when it's juxtaposed with aloo gobi.
2. Prefer watching over Bend it Like Beckham? Hmm, good question. I'll pick Cool Runnings.
3. Colgate Total.

1. What's your favourite movie about sports?
2. Biologically speaking, do you think men or women have it easier?
3. Is there someone in the world you would travel across the country for just to be able to hug them?

1. All Stars, a Dutch movie about the members of a bad football (soccer?) team. It was outrageously funny and had only a little to do with football. As with most Dutch movies, there was also a TV series made witch was quite good.

2. Men. No monthly problems, no big worries about how you look... Having to shave sucks though.

3. Yes, I would have done so long ago if my health didn't stop me.

.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.

1. Which was you last déja-vue experience?

2. Do you have many déja-vues?

3. How often have you changed jobs?

[Giligan]

1. A few weeks ago.
2. Not really.
3. Not too often; thankfully, the parents haven't made me pay for room and board yet.

~~~

1. What is up with the obsession with the line between the questions?
2. Knowing what you know now, if you could go back in time and change what you did, and had to choose between public school or homeschool, which would you go with?
3. Why do so many adults buy LEGO sets? Aren't they just for kids?

1. There's no obsession! It's just a healthy interest. ARE YOU TALKING BAD ABOUT THE LINE BREAK? DON'T MAKE ME GET THE HOSE!
2. I wouldn't go back in time and change things. I like who I am, and without the things that happened to me in the past, I wouldn't be that person. So even if I could, I'd let my life play out exactly as it had, good and bad. That said, I think you learn more knowledge-wise at homeschool and more wisdom wise at public school.
3. I love LEGOs! So much fun. I don't have time to play with them anymore, but if I did I'd still buy them. I guess they aren't just for kids!

LINEBREAK! RA RA RA! LINEBREAK! RA RA RA! Goooooooo LINEBREAK!

1. It is snowing outside where I am. How about you?
2. How come you can't pick what cable stations you want and only pay monthly for those?! I don't use the Halmark channel...
3. Do you call them Slug Bugs or Punch Bugs or Punch Buggies?

1. Here it's raining hard.

2. Because the provider makes more money this way.

3. I don't call them at all

Yo man! RESPECT to the linebreak! -----------------------------

1. A couple of weeks ago we had a national 'respect day' here in the Netherlands. Schoolchildren were taught to have respect for their neigbours. What's your opinion on that?

2. Do you often feel lonely?

3. What's the third question?

[Trumgottist]

1. Matthew 22:39
2. No.
3. "What's the third question?"

1. May I wish you a merry Christmas?
2. How much can you tell about people from their posts in this thread?
3. What's your opinion on The Thread™?

3. What's your opinion on The Thread™?

1. Yes, so long as I can wish you one right back.
2. I think a lot, unless they're lying. In which case you know they're liars. Actually that's part of why I post in this thread. It seems like you can tell a lot about the posters which then leads me to understand things they say in other threads.
3. Oh that thread... I dunno, I don't really understand it, so I steer clear. I like this thread better (and the reverse topic).

__________________boringbreak_________________

1. Do you try to break yourself out of the mood if you don't feel like doing anything?
2. Have you ever had a nervous twitch (and what caused it)?
3. What is the best thing since sliced bread?

[Squinky]

1. When I don't feel like doing anything, I just don't do anything. Brings about less stress when it actually becomes time for me to actually do something, I've found.
2. I don't think I have, but when I do, it'll probably be caused by an influx of txt-style spelling.
3. Naan.

asteriskasteriskasterisk

1. When was the last time you ate something from McDonalds (or an equivalent fast food outlet)?
2. When was the last time you got some exercise?
3. Isn't it sad that when JKR said "DON'T MAKE ME GET THE HOSE!", I immediately thought of Mrs. Doubtfire?

[Not A Speck Of Cereal]

1. It's got to be at least 15 years since I've eaten at a real fast food chain "restaurant", but I use them as rest stops all'a time during road-trips. (Not that I haven't had something from a burger joint--I have just quit the chains. There are a few okay local burger joints still.)
2. I feel bad that I haven't rode my bike for several weeks, but usually, I do so every week for at least 15-20 miles.
3. I have no idea what this means. Harry Potter?

1. Is there a food that you avoid because it doesn't play well with your constitution?
2. What is your guilty pleasure, when it comes to fast food?
3. Do you ever skip meals in place of just eating snacks in front of the TV?

[Trumgottist]

3. Robin Williams. (And it's a fun movie.)
1. No.
2. I actually ate a hamburger yesterday, but I don't feel guilty for it. (I ate at Max, and not MacDonalds, so it actually was quite tasty.)
3. No. I sometimes regret not moving my body more, though. I'll try to better myself in that area.

1. What's your reaction when you read someone lamenting that "there are so few adventure games these days" and "it's only shooters that are popular"?
2. What, if anything, do you dislike about fast food?
3. I've got a train to catch, so I'll borrow a question from earlier in this thread: What is your favorite bird?

1. There are so many ignorent people in the world I can't be bothered to think anything about him/her.

2. Nothing. I love the stuff.

3. Chicken. So many ways to make good food out of them...

line - line - line - line - line - line

A few very simple questions this time:

1. What names do you like?

2. What does a beautiful person look like for you? Skin colour, hair colour and -style, build, etc...

3. Would you like to have your child look like that?

[JKR]

1. I like Gidgit, Samantha, Mark, Hugo, Sara (sans H at the end), Bridget, Geoff (but not Jeff), Roger, Jing, and Lucy. And others, of course, but those came to mind first.

2. Well I don't tend to find guys beautiful, so first off they'd be female. I prefer medium skin tone, not pale or too dark. Hair, any but blond (just not a fan), and medium to medium-long, not very long and not really short. I really dislike the super skinny look, and find "normal" build to be much more attractive. Obviously there are exceptions to each of these things, but those are the general bits for me personally. And, happily for me, my wife fits every category. (Though it still feels a bit odd calling her my wife, I must say.)
Insert comment here about "inner beauty is more important" but I've rambled enough already.

3. I wouldn't mind either way. A child would be your own, regardless of what they look like. That said, if I had a particularly pretty girl for a daughter, she'd be locked in her room until she was 30. Maybe 28, if she showed a lot of maturity. I shouldn't be a parent any time soon, I'd be WAY too overprotective.

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=123456789!

1. Is it true that there are no original ideas anymore?
2. Have we used up all the line break possibilities?
3. If you could be remembered by only two words, what would they be?
