The question game

kirejos · 13-03-07 01:54:42

No, but that is/has been one of my psuedo-fantasies. I hope someday in my travels I'll have the opportunity. Life is short, I want to make the most of it. I love meeting new people, and going to new places. My sense of adventure has peaked in recent years, I hope to travel extensively sometime soon.

Have you ever been somewhere far away and been struck by how beautiful it is?

stolengirlfriend · 13-03-07 02:52:25

Yeah. Almost every time I go somewhere, I find my self awestruck by something. Whether it's how beautiful the location is, how good the shopping is, or thinking about how the hell someone could live in a place like that, it seems like there's always something.

I'm not very well traveled, but to answer your question, Paris totally floored me. I was really overcome by the whole feeling of the City.

What was the best live show you can remember? Music, theatre, speech, etc.

Weird! I just earlier today posted on this very subject in a comments thread on a blog I read. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I'll just plagiarize... er, quote myself:

"I guess my favorite concert-going moment was at the Jones Beach amphitheater, at one of the last shows of Paul Simon's Graceland tour. It was a perfect summer evening, Simon was in good voice and enjoying himself, and the band (which included Hugh Masekela and Ladysmith Black Mambazo) was cookin'. They ripped through a great, really high-energy version of 'You Can Call Me Al.' After they finished (and received several minutes of wild applause), Simon looked at the crowd, looked at the band, said 'wow, that was fun; let's do it again,' and launched right into a second full playing of the song (not as an encore, mind you; this was in the middle of the show). The crowd, including me and my wife, went absolutely insane... the coolest live-music moment I can recall."

What's the worst live show you can remember?

stolengirlfriend · 13-03-07 06:18:31

The Charlatans at the Fillmore.

I had seen them a few times before and had kinda lost interest after the last couple of records came out. So, when I heard the single that they were putting out ahead of the record, I was shocked. It sounded like "Some Friendly" era Charlatans and I was pretty psyched.

They announced the tour dates and since they were coming to town, I thought I'd give it a shot. Then... the record came out. And needless to say, it wasn't very good. In fact, the entire record (except for the first single track) was downright shite. I gave to it a friend of mine who was also a fan, thinking that my distaste for it was somewhat hormonal or something, and he also agreed that it was crap. The second song was quite possibly the worst song I heard all of last year.

A couple of days leading up to the show, I tried to get psyched up. I tried to re-listen to it hoping it'd get better, but I couldn't even make my way through the second track. I went ahead and skipped it, but the song after that was pretty bad, as well.

So, the night of the show I was talking to my friend and when he asked what I was doing that evening I told him that I had tickets and I was planning on attending. I figured that it couldn't be that bad and that they'd at least play a few brilliant songs. I then piped up and said that I would only stay until they played that second song. If they played it, I would chug my drink, throw the cup in the bin and walk out in protest.

I made my way to the City, parked, walked in, and got myself a drink. I then continued to the area where I could see best and enjoyed the view of two attractive women that were standing in the general vicinity. Maybe this wasn't going to be so terrible...

The roadie came out to place the set-lists on the stage and as my curiosity got the best of me, I noticed that the opening song that they were set up to play was the second song on the record. I was gutted, but a claim is a claim, and I had to be a man of my word. I thought to myself "well, lets see how it comes across live - maybe it won't be so bad". Nope. It was worse live than it was recorded.

Therefore, I finished my drink and walked out after one song.

Smoking or Non-Smoking?

blissed · 14-03-07 13:26:01

Non smoking.

If you were on a transatlantic flight and a flight attendant came on the tannoy and asked if anyone knew how to land the plane, what would you do next?

No you can't do that it's engaged

.

aven frey · 15-03-07 01:08:34

I would cross my fingers that someone else did (BTW Kesia knows how to land planes) and if no one did I'd give it a go. Why not.

If I had crashed the plane in an isolated mountainous snowy area with no help for miles and I died and you were starving would you eat me?

stolengirlfriend · 15-03-07 01:20:59

Being a vegetarian I'd have to say no. However, I probably wouldn't hesitate to feed you to Haley, Max. Then over the hills and through the woods to grandmothers house she'd go.

New wave or punk?

Yes if it meant the alternative was that I was gonna die. I definitely wouldn't enjoy the meal tho, not without any kind of sauce.

I like a nice subtle wave, set tho, not permed.

If you discovered like I did yesterday, that you could piggy back an internet connection for free from next doors wifi, would you ditch your internet provider and go with next door?

.

stolengirlfriend · 15-03-07 03:49:57

I wouldn't. Just because they could encrypt it at any moment and then I'd be this nasty old pervy at some nasty internet cafe trying to look at the nudies.

This really made me laugh. Did it make you laugh?

:lol::lol: OMFG, I loveddddddddd it!

It makes me think of the time when I was little that I started laughing so hard with my cousin that my father thought we were on drugs (we were 8) and tried to "snap us out of it" by dumping water over our heads. We just laughed harder.

have you ever written a breakup letter?

No, but if I ever feel I have to write one and I'm lost for words, I'll just adapt that one. I don't know why, but I like "You make me touch your hands for stupid reasons" :)

And now onto a serious matter. Last year a friend went out drinking got drunk and went missing and was found 2 hours later about 20 yards from the pub laying in a bush with his pants round his ankles. Nobody knows what happened, got any ideas? :)

.

aven frey · 16-03-07 00:15:23

I know exactly what happened. When he left the pub he was accosted by a gang of academics doing research on the underwearing habits of alcholics. When they discovered he was not wearing any underwear they were understandably frustrated (as this was not the first time this had happened) and when he threw up on the shoes of Simon they knocked him on the head with their folders and dumped him in the bushes. Or he just passed out whilst taking a piss.

Where is the funniest place you have passed out?

stolengirlfriend · 16-03-07 02:59:12

Technically, you can't call it "passing out" if you either...

1) change your clothes into what you wear to bed or
2) get totally naked

...before falling into the deep inebriated sleep.

That being said, I have never "passed out". I always manage to take off my clothes.

Had you been accosted by Simon and his merry gang, what would they have found on your person?

blissed · 16-03-07 13:25:41

Well I think it involves them closely inspecting your underpants and taking photographic evidence, so as I don't drink, my stripy boxers would be very useful to them as an example of a pair of underpants unaffected by alcoholism. Anyway, as long as I could keep them on and still have them on when they left, I don't mind.

And now it's time for a serious question. Is it true that we're all free to find the meaning in our own lives?

Is'nt that all gonna change after the alien invasion on August the 5th?

Yes, that's what the button is for. It will tell you.

Check out this shipping container push-button house I found at www.treehugger.com.

Pick one-

Could you live in a push-button house?
Do you wear button-fly jeans?
Do people tell you that you have a button nose?

gala · 18-03-07 03:51:05

i like that. i could get one and live in a shipyard in melbourne.

i kinda think i have a button nose. i'm not exactly sure. i think the word my mother used to use was 'pug'. sweet, huh. i don't recall anyone explicitly telling me i had a button nose, but i guess i could ask someone on 'the person below' thread to tell me that.

do you like the sound of your own voice?

aven frey · 19-03-07 01:18:52

no I absolutly hate it! but I like to talk so I'm often in a bind!
Do you like your nose?

kirejos · 19-03-07 04:24:51

No, I absolutely hate it! But I like to smell so I'm often in a bind!
Do you like your ass?

aven frey · 19-03-07 04:54:01

no I absolutly hate it but... um lets stop this now!!

What is your favorite thing about yourself?

blissed · 19-03-07 04:58:48

My sense of humor, unless of course I'm one of those guys who's always the only one laughing at his own jokes. Gee, I hope not.

Are you going to ask me if I know how to play 52 pick-up?

No I like playing canaster with my grandparents. They both always try to cheat.

When was the last time you cheated?

kirejos · 19-03-07 05:34:20

The last time I played pick-up-sticks with my cousin Margie (Yes we still play sometimes). If you want to have some fun, lightly blow on the pile of sticks during your opponents crucial maneuver.

Do you have a funny family reunion story?

blissed · 20-03-07 14:03:06

I would if we could all be assed to have one :)

Shall I put that I'm good at playing monopoly on my resume?
