Funny Questionaire Thingy - Does what it says on the tin.

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]OK, I 'borrowed' (translation 'stole' ) this from taya's blog, which in turn was borrowed from someone else, which was then borrowed from someone else again. It's fairly funny, so I thought, why not?

Be warned - I cannot be held responsible for any loss of sanity incurred as a result of reading the following post.


YOUR NAME

The singular boring question: What is your name?:
Luke Harty.

If you had been born a member of the opposite sex, what would your name have been?:
Josephene - don't ask why I like that name, I just do.

Would you name a child of yours after you?:
Heck no. then I'd have to call 'em Junior, and I'm just not that cruel.

If you had to switch first names with a friend of yours, who would you switch with?:
Graham.

What's the way people most often mispronounce any part of your name?:
It's pretty hard to mispronounce. I have had people try to spell my surname with an e before though.

If you were to become famous, would you drop your last name (like Madonna, Cher, Roseanne)?:
No. And anyway, the odds on me becoming in any way famous are pretty long.

DEEP THEOLOGICAL QUESTIONS

Do you believe in the traditional view of Heaven and Hell?:
No. I believe in the Discworld view of Heaven and Hell.

Do you think God has a gender?:
*Stifled laughter*
Next question.

Do you think science counteracts religion?:
No.

Do you believe in organized religion?:
Sort of.

Where do you think we go when we die?:
See above 'Discworld' aswer.

Do you feel a little funny thinking about the questions in this category?:
Not in the slightest.

HUMOR

How easy is it to make you laugh?:
Depends how much sugar I've had.

What person you know makes you laugh the most?:
Zeke.

Do you laugh at jokes you know you shouldn't?:
No.

Do you tell jokes you know you shouldn't?:
Yes. Really, [iost_uid0]really[/iost_uid0] lame ones.

What words instantly make you laugh or at least smile?:
Errr....kablazmo, and probably some others that I can't remember right now.

What do you think is the funniest thing you've ever said or written?:
Apart from my fiver, I once made a spectacularly witty retort, but, as the saying goes, you really had to be there.

MUSIC

Do you ever dance to music when nobody's watching?:
No. I don't dance. Period.

What is/are the worst song(s) you have ever heard?:
The list is endless.

What song(s) do you wish you could understand a little better?:
"One Thing Leads to Another" by The Fixx, and "Come Together" by the Beatles.

What song(s) are constantly in your head?:
The theme from Joe 90, the aformentioned "Come Together", and "King of Rock and Roll" by Prefab Sprout.

What song(s) do you think describe your personality best?:
I dunno. Something by David Bowie probably.

If you were to serenade the object of your affections, which song(s) would you use?:
Trust me, they wouldn't be the object of my affections if I wanted to sing to them.

If the object of your affections were to serenade you, what song(s) would you hope he or she used?:
I wouldn't really mind as long as it wasn't something I really didn't like.

What movie(s) do you love that nobody else seems to?:
Hehe. Easy question. Without a doubt David Lynch's [iost_uid0]Dune[/iost_uid0].

Do you agree with the idea that sequels are always worse than the original?:
No.

Any film that is simply a vehicle for a celebrity/singer/band.

FOOD

When eating, are you more concerned with taste or healthiness?:
Taste.

What's your favorite kind of cheese?:
Emmental.

What do you think your answer to the previous question reveals about your personality?:
That I like cheese?

If you knew exactly what went into Chinese food, hamburger meat, etc., would you still eat it?:
Probably not. But then I only rarely eat fast food anyway, so it's pretty much a moot point.

Do you ever feel guilty eating meat?:
No.

COMPUTERS

Mac or PC?:
In a perfect world, Mac.

How much do you actually care about the inner workings of your computer, as long as it works?:
Not a great deal. Getting the software on the computer to work is a different matter entirely.

Do you ever begin preferring IMs to other forms of conversation?:
Not really, no. Ninety percent of the people I talk to are actual friends, so I talk to them as I would do anyway.

Do you find you're different talking through IMs than face-to-face or on the telephone?:
Not really. Forums on the other hand...

Have you ever ended bid on something on eBay and regretted it later?:
e-whatnow?

THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES

Have you ever wished you could experience being the other gender?:
Sort of.

What do you love most about the other gender?:
A generalised question such as this deserves an equally generalised answer. So, everything and nothing.

What do you dislike most about the other gender?:
See above.

What do you understand least about the other gender?:
It's other people I don't understand full stop - gender really has nothing to do with it.

CELEBRITIES

Do you sometimes see a movie or watch a show just because a good-looking celebrity is in it?:
No.

What celebrity's autograph do you want most?:
A toughie. Either Gene Roddenberry, Glenn Miller, Tom Hanks, Alec Guinness or someone who has walked on the Moon.

Have people ever said you looked like a celebrity, and if so, who?:
Errr...no. I did have a teacher that looks like daytime TV DIY guru Nick Knowles though.

If there was to be a movie about you, who do you think should play you (in personality, looks or both)?:
Sam Neill maybe? He's nothing like me, but I think he's a good actor.

Does it ever annoy you when you know someone is a celebrity but you can't remember why?:
No, but it annoys me when I see an actor in something and I can't remember their name even though I know that I know it.

If you could enter any celebrity's mind like in "Being John Malkovich", whose would you enter?:
Ian Banks - I'd just love to know how his mind works.

Do you want to be John Malkovich?:
Can't say that I do.

NUMBERS

Do you laugh when you hear or read the number 69?:
No, just 47.

Were you lying about your answer to the previous question?:
No.

Do you actually know your Social Security Number?:
I guess the equivalent would be my National Insurance number, and no, I don't know it.

Do you actually know your IP address?:
Errr......Stoke-on-Trent?

Do you know what an IP address is?:
Vaguely.

Do you know the four-character extension on your ZIP code?:
Postcode, and yes I do know it.

Ever thought there were too many numbers floating around in our lives?:
No. You see, the numbers are never wrong. Just the people that come up with them.

Does your head begin to hurt when you think of infinity, imaginary numbers, irrational numbers, etc.?:
Nope. Infinty minus one, however....

What do you think of pi?:
*Drools* Mmm...steak and kidney...

LOVE, SEX AND ALL THAT

Did you get a little frightened or uncomfortable seeing this as a section title?:
Sorta.

If someone you had no interest in dating expressed interest in dating you, how would you feel?:
Hypothetically speaking (since it's never actually happened), it would depend on who was asking.

Do you prefer getting to know someone first before dating them or going in "blind"?:
Again, hypothetically speaking, I'd prefer to know them at least a bit.

Could you carry on a relationship with someone with the same first name as a family member?:
I suppose.

Have you ever wished it was more "socially acceptable" for a girl to ask a guy out?:
Personally, I don't care who asks who out. It shouldn't matter.

What's your opinion on sex without emotional commitment?:
I'll let you know when I've actually experienced it.

Have you ever been romantically attracted to someone physically unattractive?:
That all depends on your definition of 'physically unnatractive'. I could say no, but then I don't go around labling people as ugly. In my view, people just look different.

Do you think the opposite sex finds you good-looking?:
Not in the least.

Would you be willing to give up sex in exchange for an emotional commitment you knew would last?:
Yes. Or I could just get a pet I suppose.

POSSESSIONS

What is your favorite possession?:
My 'library'. At the last count, 6+ boxes worth of books.

What physical, tangible possession do you want most?:
A TARDIS.

How badly do you want it?:
Badly enough.

Have you ever seen 'The Exorcist'?:
No.

How long did it take you to understand why the last question is in this section?:
No time at all. Bad pun detection becomes second nature once you've been at 5MV long enough.

HOLIDAYS

Does Christmas music too far away from Christmas annoy you?:
No. Easter eggs on the shelves a month early does though.

How old do you think you will be before you stop liking getting older?:
What an odd question. I don't suppose I ever will, though there might be bits that I'll look back on and wich I could live again.

What was the best Halloween costume you ever had?:
Never had one - I've never been Trick or Treating in my whole life.

What was the worst Halloween costume you ever had?:
See above.

What holiday do you think has still managed to retain its original meaning?:
Love Day perhaps?

There are currently no federal holidays during August -- what should be put there?:
Pass.

MEMORIES

How good is your short-term memory?:
It varies from pretty bad to abso-fricken-loutely awful.

How good is your long-term memory?:
Good for remembering things in the past, not so good for remembering things I have to do in the future.

What is your earliest memory?:
I have a few scattered memories from before I moved to Scotland (which was about age 3) which include that of my sister being born.

What is your happiest memory?:
My happiest memories generally involve Ben (deceased golden Labrador who was a bit of a twit) and Biskett (deceased ginger cat who had a perpetually dirty chin and used to drool when really happy).

What is your strangest memory?:
I have this really wierd memory of an event involving a snake and a broken bottle of milk that even though I know to be untrue still persists.

What song, movie, etc. do you wish you could memorize?:
[iost_uid0]Dune[/iost_uid0], book and film. Then I could baffle people with lots of obsucre references. Oh wait, I do that already. Oh well.

TEARS

What movie makes/made you cry?:
I'm kinda ashamed to admit this, the end of [iost_uid0]Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country[/iost_uid0] always makes me go teary eyed.

What book makes/made you cry?:
None that I can think of.

What song makes/made you cry?:
None, though there is one bit of James Horner's score for [iost_uid0]Apollo 13[/iost_uid0] called "Dark Side of the Moon" that makes me feel quite emotional.

What makes/made you laugh so hard you cried?:
Random stuff that makes no sense. A good example is one time when I was watching a TV program called "Pet Rescue" that follows a bunch RSPCA people around and this cat came up on the TV (one of those ones with flat faces) and for some inexplicable reason I found it hilarious. I didn't stop laughing for a good five minutes.[/colorost_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Let's see, it's late, I can [iost_uid0]feel[/iost_uid0] my awakeness draining away and taking my restraint with it, and there are a number of questions here that I either can't or won't answer. This ought to be interesting...

YOUR NAME

The singular boring question: What is your name?:
Um, blue? No wait, that comes later--AARGH!

If you had been born a member of the opposite sex, what would your name have been?:
Quite possibly a form of "Lynn". Don't ask me why, it's just a hunch.

Would you name a child of yours after you?:
Absolutely not. My brother and I have enough trouble distinguishing which one of us is being called for as it is.

If you had to switch first names with a friend of yours, who would you switch with?:
None. No idea. Too narrow a field.

What's the way people most often mispronounce any part of your name?:
Not mispronounce, but people have been known to put an E where an A should be.

If you were to become famous, would you drop your last name (like Madonna, Cher, Roseanne)?:
Absolutely no way. That's just weird. Well, Cher can get away with it outside of France, but she doesn't count.

DEEP THEOLOGICAL QUESTIONS

Do you believe in the traditional view of Heaven and Hell?:
I'm not sure. I'm a Christian, but the traditional view may not coincide with mine. I doubt it does.

Do you think God has a gender?:
Yes. "God" is masculine, "Goddess" is feminine. :smile: And I invented "Gode" as a gender-neutral form.

Do you think science counteracts religion?:
Not particularly. Some scientists are out to get religion though, and some religious people are out to get science.

Do you believe in organized religion?:
A lot of what we have now is diluted and not hitting the mark. But it's indisputable that Christians need to be there for each other. I won't presume to speak for other religions.

Where do you think we go when we die?:
Depends on where and how we die and whether we have a burial, cremation, or whatever else.

Do you feel a little funny thinking about the questions in this category?:
Goofy? Yes. Funny? Not really.

HUMOR

How easy is it to make you laugh?:
If the right thought occurs to me at the right moment, when I'm in the right mood, and it strikes me as even mildly amusing, I can easily go off into a three- or four-minute giggling fit. In the wrong mood, I may not even smile at something that's hilarious.

What person you know makes you laugh the most?:
Me. My family. Zeke. Derek.

Do you laugh at jokes you know you shouldn't?:
Sometimes I can't help but giggle, they're so bad/pathetic/whatever.

Do you tell jokes you know you shouldn't?:
What PHJ said.

What words instantly make you laugh or at least smile?:
"GAK!" Anything else that triggers a funny thought or memory--but that's not quite "instantaneous".

What do you think is the funniest thing you've ever said or written?:
All of it. No, seriously. I find it all hilarious, at least until I come back to it a few months later and wince and wonder "What was I thinking when I wrote that? Was I really that bad?" But if I had to pick a "masterpiece" or two from all the havoc I have wrought, I would probably have to go with my two Jovian stories I've written and the one that is still in the planning-out stage. (It's annoying, I've had the idea for months on end, and everything's fallen into place, except the plot...)

MUSIC

Do you ever dance to music when nobody's watching?:
Hum, yes. Dance, no.

What is/are the worst song(s) you have ever heard?:
Most of the stuff I hear that was made in the past five to ten years or so.

What song(s) do you wish you could understand a little better?:
That's one reason why some of these songs are so bad. E-NUN-CEE-A-SHUN, people! "Sha-Sha Dream", indeed! Pfft! :eyeroll: Â Â Â Â Â Â [imgost_uid0]http://3sygma.com/fiveminute/forums/html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif[/imgost_uid0]


What song(s) are constantly in your head?:
Can't say. There are a number of them, and they rotate constantly.

What song(s) do you think describe your personality best?:
My personalities are too varied and complex to be described by a single song. :smile: The obvious one would be "They're Coming To Take Me Away", with the girlfriend stuff cut out. Probably something lyrical, not eardrum-smashing or anything.

If you were to serenade the object of your affections, which song(s) would you use?:
I would tend to agree with what PHJ said. But if she coaxed me into it (why? Love's weird like that, I guess), I would sing some old song.

If the object of your affections were to serenade you, what song(s) would you hope he or she used?:
A good one. A positive one.

MOVIES

What movie(s) do you love that nobody else seems to?:
Can't think of any. Insufficient sample. This section is going to be awfully repetitive, I think...

Do you agree with the idea that sequels are always worse than the original?:
No, but they often are. Of course, very often the original isn't very good in the first place.

Who's your favorite Star Wars character?:
I dunno. Han's quite amusing.

What kind of movie do you think there should be more of?:
The good kind. The kind that doesn't include any one-time cliched devices used to show a section of the audience that they were thought of (yes, children's movies, it's [iost_uid0][bost_uid0]you[/bost_uid0][/iost_uid0] in particular that I'm death-glaring at right now) or to bump the rating. The kind they aren't making (or did they ever?).

What movie(s) do you simply not understand the appeal of?:
Get a listing of all the movies released within the past, say, three or four years. Pick three-quarters of them at random. Odds are you've got most of them.

FOOD

When eating, are you more concerned with taste or healthiness?:
Taste, though healthiness is also important.

What's your favorite kind of cheese?:
No favorite.

What do you think your answer to the previous question reveals about your personality?:
Ah, that would be telling, wouldn't it?

If you knew exactly what went into Chinese food, hamburger meat, etc., would you still eat it?:
No. My head would hurt too much for me to eat anything.

Do you ever feel guilty eating meat?:
Nope.

COMPUTERS

Mac or PC?:
PC. Gotta love having more than one mouse button.

How much do you actually care about the inner workings of your computer, as long as it works?:
I'm trying to imagine such a situation. And failing. It's late. Sorry.

Do you ever begin preferring IMs to other forms of conversation?:
Nope. In-person conversations are much better than IM's. Though IM's can be better than e-mail or PM's in some situations.

Do you find you're different talking through IMs than face-to-face or on the telephone?:
Well, yes. I have to think and type faster with IM's than I have to think and talk on the phone.

Have you ever ended bid on something on eBay and regretted it later?:
Nope. Never bidden at eBay.

THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES

Have you ever wished you could experience being the other gender?
No, not really. Wondered what their lives were like, certainly.

What do you love most about the other gender?:
They aren't any worse than mine.

What do you dislike most about the other gender?:
They aren't any better than mine.

What do you understand least about the other gender?:
The same that I understand least about mine.

CELEBRITIES

Do you sometimes see a movie or watch a show just because a good-looking celebrity is in it?:
I try to make a point of avoiding such gimmicks.

What celebrity's autograph do you want most?:
I dunno. None, as of yet. I do have a few.

Have people ever said you looked like a celebrity, and if so, who?:
People mix me up with my brother, but he's not a celebrity. Now excuse me while I go pound my head in annoyance over passing up a perfectly good set-up line over a year ago.

If there was to be a movie about you, who do you think should play you (in personality, looks or both)?:
Well, if it were a "good" movie, a "celebrity" so that they wouldn't be able to wipe it out of existence completely. If I were embarrassed by it for a [iost_uid0]good[/iost_uid0] reason (because it stunk), then a nobody, so that it could melt into obscurity (which it would do if there were no celebrities involved).

Does it ever annoy you when you know someone is a celebrity but you can't remember why?:
No. I don't bother to keep track of who played what role in which lame TV series. Sometimes it annoys me when I know someone is a celebrity and I [iost_uid0]do[/iost_uid0] know why--not annoyed at myself, but annoyed at others for encouraging the person.

If you could enter any celebrity's mind like in "Being John Malkovich", whose would you enter?:
I have no idea.

Do you want to be John Malkovich?:
 No. I want to be me.

NUMBERS

Do you laugh when you hear or read the number 69?:
No. I :eyeroll: every time 144 is the answer to yet [iost_uid0]another[/iost_uid0] math problem, though. (Seems to have petered out, however.)

Were you lying about your answer to the previous question?:
Well, exaggerating a little. Hey, the smiley was handy.

Do you actually know your Social Security Number?:
Not particularly. The vague outlines, sometimes.

Do you actually know your IP address?:
No, I don't.

Do you know what an IP address is?:
Yes. I think.

Do you know the four-character extension on your ZIP code?:
Don't care to. The post office and junk mailers can go nuts over it, but I don't care.

Ever thought there were too many numbers floating around in our lives?:
No, not really. Sometimes I think people rely too much on numbers, though.

Does your head begin to hurt when you think of infinity, imaginary numbers, irrational numbers, etc.?:
No, except when I'm trying to figure out what a fractal is up to.

What do you think of pi?:
I think it's a lot of fun to write. Also, "Moo". (I got such a kick out of that shirt. [imgost_uid0]http://3sygma.com/fiveminute/forums/html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif[/imgost_uid0])

LOVE, SEX AND ALL THAT

Did you get a little frightened or uncomfortable seeing this as a section title?:
Concerned, yes. I was under the impression we had already covered this. But no big problem (hopefully).

If someone you had no interest in dating expressed interest in dating you, how would you feel?:
On the spot, assuming I picked up on it.

Do you prefer getting to know someone first before dating them or going in "blind"?:
I don't even give serious thought to asking someone out until I feel I know them well. I don't want to waste anyone's time or effort, and I don't want to be in a situation where one person loves the other and the other doesn't.

Could you carry on a relationship with someone with the same first name as a family member?:
I'd cringe every time the subject came up.

Have you ever wished it was more "socially acceptable" for a girl to ask a guy out?:
I really don't care about society in that regard. I'm certainly not aware of any girls who would have asked me out if they didn't feel constrained by something, so I don't see how that would affect me.

What's your opinion on sex without emotional commitment?:
It's late, and the only parallel that comes to mind is doing 50 over the limit without a seatbelt just because you can so there nyaah-nyaah Mom.

Have you ever been romantically attracted to someone physically unattractive?:
I have never seen a person I considered to be truly ugly in the physical sense. There *are* a lot of ugly minds out there, but that's beside the point...

Do you think the opposite sex finds you good-looking?:
Absolutely not. Well, every once in a great while, but then I daydream of contending for the FIDE championship too.

Would you be willing to give up sex in exchange for an emotional commitment you knew would last?:
"Give up"? I wouldn't start it.

POSSESSIONS

What is your favorite possession?:
No idea, so I'll say "myself".

What physical, tangible possession do you want most?:
No comment.

How badly do you want it?:
I'll go with PHJ's answer, assuming it won't result in my feeling compelled to wander into a shower where I meet a bloody and horrifying end.

Have you ever seen 'The Exorcist'?:
No.

How long did it take you to understand why the last question is in this section?:
A few seconds after reading this question. I still don't understand it, but I know a pointed-out reference when I see it.

HOLIDAYS

Does Christmas music too far away from Christmas annoy you?:
By definition, yes.

How old do you think you will be before you stop liking getting older?:
I stopped liking it some years ago. Another year older means another year you'll never have back.

What was the best Halloween costume you ever had?:
A big cardboard jack-o'-lantern.

What was the worst Halloween costume you ever had?:
A black jacket with some white chalk rubbed on in places.

What holiday do you think has still managed to retain its original meaning?:
A few do, but the original meaning is squeezed in among other stuff.

There are currently no federal holidays during August -- what should be put there?:
There's Friendship Day somewhere, though it isn't federal.
Don't worry about it--when I rule the world, the "problem" will be taken care of. [imgost_uid0]http://3sygma.com/fiveminute/forums/html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif[/imgost_uid0]

MEMORIES

How good is your short-term memory?:
What PHJ said. I think. Wait, what exactly did he say again...? :S

How good is your long-term memory?:
As good as my short-term memory.

What is your earliest memory?:
I think from when I was about four or five, our TV had a triangular prism on top, on which were printed the channel numbers. And there was a light inside to show which channel was tuned in. Also, I remember my mother at about the same time, sitting in a chair. And the backyard with its stone donkey and birdbath, and the nice neighbor.

What is your happiest memory?:
I have no clue.

What is your strangest memory?:
I have no clue.

What song, movie, etc. do you wish you could memorize?:
I think I've (rather accidentally) got my brain trained so that I can memorize songs rather easily. Visual memories are another matter entirely.

TEARS

What movie makes/made you cry?:
Can't think of any.

What book makes/made you cry?:
There was one that made my eyes wet. I think I just read it at the "right time".

What song makes/made you cry?:
Can't think of any, but "Cat and the Cradle" can put me in that mood.

What makes/made you laugh so hard you cried?:
See my note about giggling fits above.

Again, does anyone really care about that?

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0]There's a pun? No, I mean that. What is it?[/quoteost_uid0]

[iost_uid0]The Exorcist[/iost_uid0]? 'Possessions'? It's really pretty obvoius when you think about it.

Amanda Saxon Dean.

Daniel Allen Saxon

Would you name a child of yours after you?:
No. That's just nonsense. Why even bring it up?

I like my first name; I would probably find another Amanda to switch with if I had to switch with someone.

What's the way people most often mispronounce any part of your name?:
"Amanda" doesn't usually get mispronounced. Neither does "Dean." But "Saxon" (my maiden name)...for some reason, people always wanted to say "Saxton." Even if they were looking at it on paper. I don't understand why they imagined a T there.

If you were to become famous, would you drop your last name (like Madonna, Cher, Roseanne)?:
I wouldn't go by just my first name. But I always thought I might go by "Amanda Rae" if I became famous. I don't know of any celebrity teachers, though, so I doubt I'm in danger of having to make the choice.

No, on the occasions when I needed to ask someone out (proms) I did. (And just for the record, there were 10 guys and 23 girls in my graduating class, so it's just that there weren't enough guys to go around.)

What's your opinion on sex without emotional commitment?:
I'm a no-sex-outside-of-marriage person, and marriage is a pretty big emotional commitment, so...

Have you ever been romantically attracted to someone physically unattractive?:

[color=#000000ost_uid0]An Internet Provider (?) address is used by your computer to identify itself on the Internet. Like a mail address, or in a hotel. Kinda like this:

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Alright, I'll give this a go. Forgive the markup.

[bost_uid0]YOUR NAME[/bost_uid0]

The singular boring question: What is your name?

Derek Dean

If you had been born a member of the opposite sex, what would your name have been?

I think my mom told me Rebecca once

Would you name a child of yours after you?

My father's first name is my middle name. I've considered doing something similar for my son, if I have one.

If you had to switch first names with a friend of yours, who would you switch with?

Eric, it'd be the easiest to get used to, I suspect.

What's the way people most often mispronounce any part of your name?

My name doesn't get mispronounced, but I have seen every variant spelling of Derek.

If you were to become famous, would you drop your last name (like Madonna, Cher, Roseanne)?

I'd drop my first name and go by Dean, but everyone will think I dropped my last name. Guess the joke'll be on them.

[bost_uid0]DEEP THEOLOGICAL QUESTIONS[/bost_uid0]

Do you believe in the traditional view of Heaven and Hell?

Doubtful.

Do you think God has a gender?

I agree with my wife that he transcends gender.

Do you think science counteracts religion?

"Counteracts"? That's an interesting word. I was expecting "Contradicts." I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

Do you believe in organized religion?

No, I believe in God.

Where do you think we go when we die?

I believe we "sleep" until the Final Judgment.

Do you feel a little funny thinking about the questions in this category?

Why would I?

How easy is it to make you laugh?

Depends on my mood.

What person you know makes you laugh the most?

Two people: Zeke and Amanda.

Do you laugh at jokes you know you shouldn't?

While not entirely sure what type of jokes I know I shouldn't laugh at, I'm pretty sure the answer is yes regardless.

Do you tell jokes you know you shouldn't?

See above

What words instantly make you laugh or at least smile?

Llama is as good an answer as any.

What do you think is the funniest thing you've ever said or written?

I'm not sure if this is funniest thing I've ever said or written, but I think my favorite fiver of the ones I've written is "The Magicks of Megas-Tu".

[bost_uid0]MUSIC[/bost_uid0]

Do you ever dance to music when nobody's watching?

No, but I'll sing along.

What is/are the worst song(s) you have ever heard?

That slow boring song during Disney's [iost_uid0]Robin Hood[/iost_uid0] animated movie.

What song(s) do you wish you could understand a little better?

Any done in a foreign language.

What song(s) do you think describe your personality best?

"Old McDonald"

If you were to serenade the object of your affections, which song(s) would you use?

I usually use made-up songs.

I'm flexible.

[bost_uid0]MOVIES[/bost_uid0]

What movie(s) do you love that nobody else seems to?

I loved [iost_uid0]Dark City[/iost_uid0] and [iost_uid0]Mystery Men[/iost_uid0], and while I know people who also like them, neither was largely well accepted.

Do you agree with the idea that sequels are always worse than the original?

Not necessarily, but there does seem to be a rule about the first being good, the second being poor, and the third being somewhere in between.

Who's your favorite Star Wars character?

Don't know that I have one. Chewbacca, maybe?

What kind of movie do you think there should be more of?

Movies about me, darnit.

When eating, are you more concerned with taste or healthiness?

Taste.

That I'm very holy.

Very likely

Do you ever feel guilty eating meat?

[bost_uid0]COMPUTERS[/bost_uid0]

Mac or PC?

Linux, which runs happily on either platform. (I've only ever used PC though.)

How much do you actually care about the inner workings of your computer, as long as it works?

Depends. I like to know how everything interoperates (and seeing as I'm a computer programmer, I do have a pretty good idea of how it does), but I don't necessarily care about [iost_uid0]my[/iost_uid0] computer's internal operations as long as it'll work.

Do you ever begin preferring IMs to other forms of conversation?

I did in college when my team members and I were working on various group projects. IMing allowed us to each be at our own computers yet still collabarate fairly well.

Do you find you're different talking through IMs than face-to-face or on the telephone?

No.

Have you ever ended bid on something on eBay and regretted it later?

I haven't ever done anything on eBay

Have you ever wished you could experience being the other gender?

Yes.

My wife is one of them.

What do you dislike most about the other gender?

They keep asking you to stop whatever you're doing and come kill a bug for them.

What do you understand least about the other gender?

Why they can't kill bugs themselves.

[bost_uid0]CELEBRITIES[/bost_uid0]

Do you sometimes see a movie or watch a show just because a good-looking celebrity is in it?

No

What celebrity's autograph do you want most?

CS Lewis (too bad he's dead).

Have people ever said you looked like a celebrity, and if so, who?

I once had a Spanish teacher who was talking to me in Spanish say that I looked like a young Mel Gibson, but I think she was trying to see if I was following her while she was speaking or not.

If there was to be a movie about you, who do you think should play you (in personality, looks or both)?

Me.

Does it ever annoy you when you know someone is a celebrity but you can't remember why?

No, and that's what imdb.com is for anyway.

If you could enter any celebrity's mind like in "Being John Malkovich", whose would you enter?

None.

Do you want to be John Malkovich?

No, but it might be cool being that Musketeer he played (unless it was Porthos *shudder* is it chili in here?)

[bost_uid0]NUMBERS[/bost_uid0]

Do you laugh when you hear or read the number 69?

Not since high school, and only then because all my friends did.

Were you lying about your answer to the previous question?

What a dumb question.

Do you actually know your Social Security Number?

Yes.

Do you actually know your IP address?

Not off-hand; that's why I have a domain name.

Do you know what an IP address is?

Yes. It is the third layer in the seven-layer model of network communication. It is combined with the fourth layer (which is the style of transmission) when used on the internet. There are two dominant styles of IP: IPv4, which we commonly use now and is of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, and IPv6, which we will probably all move to in the not-so-far-off future and is of a form something like xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.

Do you know the four-character extension on your ZIP code?

Not really. I think it starts with a 1.

Ever thought there were too many numbers floating around in our lives?

I like numbers

Does your head begin to hurt when you think of infinity, imaginary numbers, irrational numbers, etc.?

No

What do you think of pi?

SQRT(3) is cooler.

[bost_uid0]LOVE, SEX AND ALL THAT[/bost_uid0]

Did you get a little frightened or uncomfortable seeing this as a section title?

No

If someone you had no interest in dating expressed interest in dating you, how would you feel?

This actually happened to me in high school. I went out with her and have regretted it ever since.

Do you prefer getting to know someone first before dating them or going in "blind"?

I have only ever gone into relationships knowing the person, and can't conceive of doing it differently (fortunately, I don't have to worry about that anyway.)

Could you carry on a relationship with someone with the same first name as a family member?

Sure.

Have you ever wished it was more "socially acceptable" for a girl to ask a guy out?

It's okay; it's llamas.

What's your opinion on sex without emotional commitment?

I'm not in favor of it.

Have you ever been romantically attracted to someone physically unattractive?

Yes

Do you think the opposite sex finds you good-looking?

My wife seems to, and that's good enough for me.

I think the latter should become before the former regardless.

What is your favorite possession?

I donno.

A widescreen TV with a nice home theatre system.

Have you ever seen 'The Exorcist'?

Yes

How long did it take you to understand why the last question is in this section?

Longer than I'd like to admit.

[bost_uid0]HOLIDAYS[/bost_uid0]

Does Christmas music too far away from Christmas annoy you?

Christian Christmas music is nice at any time as long as it's in a religious context, but the way Christmas stuff goes out in October is somewhat pathetic.

How old do you think you will be before you stop liking getting older?

No time in the foreseeable future.

What was the best Halloween costume you ever had?

My mom once made me "The Headless Horseman" from the story about Sleepy Hollow.

What was the worst Halloween costume you ever had?

Don't recall.

What holiday do you think has still managed to retain its original meaning?

I typically treat holidays that have Christian significance with their significance.

There are currently no federal holidays during August -- what should be put there?

Don't care.

[bost_uid0]MEMORIES[/bost_uid0]

How good is your short-term memory?

Sorry, what was the question?

It's like one of those big gray things.

What is your earliest memory?

Flying in the Dumbo flying ride at Disney World when I was 3 or so.

What is your happiest memory?

Probably getting married.

What is your strangest memory?

Some of my dreams seem very real and register as memories. Those are normally pretty weird.

[bost_uid0]Tucker:[/bost_uid0] Nope.
[bost_uid0]T'Pol:[/bost_uid0] For calling me Polly a minute ago?
[bost_uid0]Tucker:[/bost_uid0] No, and that's three guesses. It's because I read the letter you got.
[bost_uid0]T'Pol:[/bost_uid0] Which one?
[bost_uid0]Tucker:[/bost_uid0] Oh, you know...the one that went "T'Pol, you must return to Vulcan immediately. Your fiancé is developing a crush on Hoshi."[/quoteost_uid0]
which is then followed up by:[quoteost_uid0][bost_uid0]Archer:[/bost_uid0] I dunno...anybody else got a plan?

[bost_uid0]Archer:[/bost_uid0] Now that I like. Thanks, dog-lady.[/quoteost_uid0]
