The question game

Blind_Ryan · 08-01-07 22:34:02

YO!

annoula · 08-01-07 22:58:04

haha

Subversive? Sublime?

Sub=A long sandwich with olives

Blind_Ryan · 09-01-07 02:42:52

lmao. That'll work. Maybe I'll ask a more normal question:

What TV show is the GREATEST TV show EVAR?????

And why

The_Elfman · 09-01-07 02:51:10

Beyond the Fringe. It pioneered satirical comedy on TV.

Arielle · 09-01-07 03:42:02

I am currently having a love affair with Japanese Game Shows where the contestants are always adorable and always getting absolutely nailed. Awww.

Before that I was obsessed with Sir David Attenborough. He could tell me hippos were usually pastel pink and tasted like sugar and I would believe him with all my heart. I even used to harbour a fantasy that he was my real father and one day he'd come and pick me up in a zeppelin and we'd make documentaries together.

But as for the game, the next question is:
What is the worst (artifically) flavoured thing you've ever tasted?

Ooh, ooh, I've got this one!

Jones Soda, a couple years ago, came out with a set of Thanksgiving Sodas. There were five in the set. Cranberry soda (not bad), Turkey and Gravy soda (my God!), Pumpkin Pie soda (you would think it might be okay, but noooooo), Wild Herb Stuffing soda (*blurp*), and Brussel Sprout with Prosciutto soda (!!! . . . I'll be right back . . .)

I bought two sets of these (one bottle each in a set) and shared them at a party I was at. We passed them around, drinking only out of little shot glasses, testing each one. Only I and one other person was able to try all five. One person actually had to go to the bathroom and throw up.

The company actually does this kind of thing every year as a special limited edition:

http://www.jonessoda.com/files_new/turkey05.html

As you can see, one of their regional flavors that year was actually a SALMON flavored soda. If I had tried that one, even I may not have been able to keep it down.

The ironic part is, if you buy several of these and then resell them on EBay, you can often clear three or four hundred dollars (and the retail price is about sixteen dollars each). If unopened they are considered hot collectors' items.

Now, let's see . . . I'll let out the Bob Eubanks in me. Where's the strangest place you ever made whoopee?

1983, at night, in the park in front of Long Bay Gaol (jail) in Sydney.

Admittedly we were at the far end of the park so the strobing lights from the prison towers didn't quite bathe us in bright lights. We were tucked down behind a very small tussock of long grass. All very exciting, getting our kit off in front of a prison. We thought it'd be quiet at night, but it was very busy with lots of police and prison vans driving past all the time.

Where in the world would you most like to travel to and why?

nihpuad · 09-01-07 05:44:08

Sadly, I've never made whoopee anyplace weird at all!

Desertgirl44 wrote:

The obvious, cheap, easy answer is Melbourne, because it's clearly the orgasmic epicenter of the world.

But my serious answer is probably a cheat, because the place I'd most like to travel isn't "in the world": I want to go to the Moon. And I believe it might just barely be possible, in my lifetime, that leisure travel to the Moon will happen. Whether I could afford a ticket would be a whole 'nother kettle of horses of another color, of course, but there's my dream.

What's the least normal animal you've eaten? (And don't say "beaver" unless you mean a dam-building critter with big teeth!)

annoula · 09-01-07 07:10:38

hahaha

(don't mind me...just reading)

Blind_Ryan · 09-01-07 08:44:58

I've eaten... dog.

I was shocked but it didn't taste all that bad. Kinda tough though... but I LOVE tough.

I have 2 questions:

Does anyone know what it means when you get a dizzy spell and damn near instantaneoulsy feel like you've not slept in four days and ran 5 miles? My legs barely work and I feel like a zombie and NOBODY (doctor included) knows what the hell this is. My blood pressure is awesome. My sugar is good to low on a given day. I have no clue what it is but it's beginning to freak me right the fuck out.

Sorry bout that. Next question... hmm.... let's see here...

What is your favorite subject that you still study on occassion (I study history for fun and profit)

Siobhan · 09-01-07 13:02:06

I'lll take that one --

Ever since coming to IFM I've been humbled by the supple manner in which people who've never even visited an English-speaking country use the language. I realized that I could no longer use the excuse of my American public education for my monolingualism. So since October I've been studying French every day. It's been great! And, as I intend to live for several months of the year in Montreal, starting 2009, it's good practise. (shout outs to our old friends Burlesque, Kronocide, jolicrasseux, not to mention the likes of you boleros, nowayses, jessicas, etc.) RIght now I'm in that liminal space between competence and fluency (orally) and it's very exciting, because my only memory of this kind of space is from being about 3 years old.

Ryan -- take it as a gift from God. i don't say this facetiously or without an understanding that this is a big deal. You knew in your heart that you were going to have to get in shape at some point. Your body is telling you now's the time. A regular MD is only going to find you normal on those tests. You need an integrative medicine specialist. I'll send you a couple of names of folks in your area. (hey. you asked!)

Desertgirl -- your 1983 tryst sounds lovely.

Q.: Do you work alone or with others? Describe your normal work environment: In an office? Cubicle? Shop?

blissed · 09-01-07 16:09:38

When I'm not working on my computer being a top graphic designer I work part time in a small stockroom above a shop where I'm in charge of myself. People come in and out all the time but their all people I like to be with even tho one is a moaning machine. It's a physical job and I get to unload lorries which is what I enjoy most, I chat to the driver and sometimes make them a cup of tea.

What is the most important thing in life?

annoula · 09-01-07 18:53:40

health

why is monogamy so f...... hard?

Siobhan · 09-01-07 19:39:44

because, with the exception of a few species, it's evidently not the natural state. ::whew!!::

Did you grow up believing in Santa Claus or the Tooth fairy or some other similar creature and, if so, do you recall finding out they did not exist? What do you remember?

blissed · 09-01-07 20:59:38

I was well gutted over the Santa thing, I still am. But the existence of fairies can be proved scientifically, so to assert that they don't exist is totally totally ridiculous.

You might have a singing voice you really like, but if you were granted another, who would you like to sing like?

.

Blind_Ryan · 09-01-07 21:45:59

THIS GUY
I'd love to be able to sing like him.

Siobhan, How do I lose this weight if I can't work out? All I've been able to do lately is eat less and sleep.

What specific physical traits do you like in a partner?

My homie, brent, asks: Ryan, do you know what gelatin is made out of?
FLOORED!

Siobhan · 09-01-07 22:05:36

Ah, Brent. Well, Ryan, growing up is hard, isn't it? Learning about the sordid underbelly of the jello industry. It was just created to make more $$ for the .. ::sigh:: never mind. I don't want to lose my high. I'm having a very happy day. (it's snowing, it's beautiful, it's a snow day!)

Fortunately, there's a similar substance called "agar-agar" which is plant-derived and a component in japanese desserts, soups, etc. Actually, I think it also might be what medical researchers use as growing media in petri dishes. But I'm getting old, so I'm not sure -- Do they even use petri dishes anymore??

I haven't forgotten your other question. i'm on it!

Meanwhile, some links about agar-agar.

You need skype. You and my group of friends would get along well.

Dreamy eyes, beautiful long hair, a nice rounded bum that most women think is too big, child baring hips the crease between her inner thigh and mound, full or proportional breasts, a cute face and a nice kissable neck. And nice feet, hands, arms and legs.

Have you ever made a snow man or snow woman with a straight through scarecrow stick at the shoulders and dressed them up in a shirt, tie and skirt?

Yes I do, at first it was becuase of really low iron and b12, then I un veganed and it still kept happening and the doctor said it was hormones because it happened during my period. I don't know what it is either Ryan. I hope you figure it out, it does sound a lot like anemia but I expect you've gotten all the blood tests to rule that stuff out.

I've only been reading the last question so I missed that, Ryan I've had fatigue syndrome which is another name for something a doctor can't identify, so if you want to email me I could probly give you some lengthy advice on that dilemma. but the best simple advice is similar to Max's, Just make sure you get a balanced diet http://www.purchon.com/biology/diet.htm and enough sleep.

Arielle · 10-01-07 01:58:41

Ryan, I had something very similar to that when I was in school and like you no one knew what it was about. I was very fit in high school and had a healthy diet etc but would find if I stood up too quickly I'd pass out or feel like I was walking through thick porridge. Seeing a naturopath / Chinese medicine practitioner was helpful as we looked at the holistic situation rather than the freaky symptoms.

When all else fails I usually go back to my favourite cure-all, honey.

Which leads me to the question:
What is the craziest cure for a condition you have ever tried?

Siobhan · 10-01-07 02:12:46

having all my blood run through a blood-cleaning machine.
having hydrogen peroxide poured into my bloodstream.
colonics. coffee enemas.
medically-supervised 10 day water-only fast.

and 5 days/week psychoanalysis to "cure" my "homosexuality." (this was before most of y'all were born.)

Blind_Ryan · 10-01-07 02:18:14

Yeah you sick homo! lol

Did they try to exorcise that out too? What a suck-ass time to live in.

Do any women here find full beards attractive? I'm thinking of growing one and am curious for opinions 5 days in so far.

blissed · 10-01-07 04:16:40

I've spent the last 3 weeks growing a beard because I grazed my face when I dived over a pallet at work. I'd say unscientifically 85% don't like them and 15% do and thats depending really on whether your face suits one. My friend likes David Brent goatees and thinks their really sexy.
When the graze is healed and I loose the beard, I might shave it into a goatee for one day and see how hysterically aroused she gets but it's coming off the next day.

this question wasn't strictly aimed at me, so I'll pass it on.
