The question game

shamFritters · 20-12-06 16:08:17

I got pancakes in the mail one year, butter, syrup, the works. They came in a very soggy shoebox. The mailman was my sworn enemy ever after and I eventually had to move away.

In return I mailed nachos.

bolero I loved the haircut and glue, it made me cackle at my desk.

The reindeer thing made me think of "Desk Set" - what's your favorite Katharine Hepburn movie?

Calenture · 20-12-06 16:40:11

'Bringing Up Baby', followed closely by 'The Philadelphia Story'.

Are you drunk?

blissed · 21-12-06 00:07:40

I don't drink alchamamamaholy.

I've had a great business idea so let me run it by everyone and see if it fly's.

In the cold most heat escapes through the top of your head, so why not make an Electric bobble hat!!!! the battery's could be carried in a shoulder bag and if any crossed wires shorted the hat out and it caught fire, you just take it off.

So what do you think?

Mmmm it's the sort of hat, though, that reminds me of the head dress reserved for those poor folk in American prisons who reach that dreaded room at the end of their last walk along the green mile.

Are snow shoes any good for huskies?

Arielle · 21-12-06 02:06:45

Huskies prefer to chew snow shoes.

What dying artform would you like to see made popular again?

shamFritters · 21-12-06 18:51:48

Scrimshaw.

Except instead of Ivory, they should use...

...um...

...Something Else.

What should they use?

blissed · 21-12-06 19:57:39

soap.

How much will you take before you reach the end of your tether?

aven frey · 22-12-06 00:57:24

depends, just before I get my period not much (though usually I cry rather then get mad) any other time I'm pretty cruisy.
I thought of a great question yesterday but I can't remember it!
ha thats it, I remember now - I've been sitting here thinking for 5 minutes!!
If you could would you choose to be immortal? If when after you chose immortality you could then never die.

blissed · 22-12-06 01:11:50

Yes I would, I'd have to have the ability to regenerate tho, I wouldn't wanna look a million years old that would be gross.

If you found a wallet would you return it or keep it?

and if you kept it and found a $50 gift certificate would you ring the store and try and cash it in like Brian did http://www.wallettest.com/Lost_Wallet_T … dings.html

I just reread that!!!! Laughs are on me!
Back to Blissed's question.

blissed · 22-12-06 02:30:17

If you could would you choose to be immortal? If when after you chose immortality you could A/ then never die, an irreversible decision or B/ be allowed to reverse the decision at any time and kill yourself.

So it just depends on the permanence of your immortality

Once I chased a guy down and returned it. This year I might keep it. I'd check the pictures in the wallet first. If he looked like he was doing exceptionally well . . .

Crap, I'd probably still return it.

A bag of money under a theater seat, like the kid found last week, though, I'd keep. There's no non-shifty reason to be hiding a bag of wads of cash under a theater seat. Therefore, if no one came to pick it up by the end of the movie, it's up for grabs. That wasn't an honesty test, kid, that was a logic test, and I'm afraid you failed.

blissed · 22-12-06 23:27:49

You find a huge bag of money under a seat in the theatre. You bank it in the attic and start to spend around $2500 every week. however one of the notes is identified and you are caught on CCTV spending it. The police follow you home where they arrest you and seize the cash. You are then asked who Martin x is and where are the diamonds and charged with drug trafficking, selling arms and extortion. What are you gonna do now?

Use my general understanding of the law to realize that the charges won't stick and enjoy it while it lasted.

What is your favorite flavor of ice cream, and has this changed since you were a child?

blissed · 23-12-06 17:30:24

I gave up eating icecream about 8 years ago but my favourite flavour was always Butterscotch.

Actually I'm afraid it's not quite as simple as that.
Martin x was minding his own business one day just walking to work when he was kidnapped. His captures secured from him the serial number of a safe deposit box containing a considerable fortune in diamonds, which they stole. they then demanded a huge amount of money from his family in used notes. The police left this in the arranged place under a theatre seat and positioned plain clothes officers all around it to observe who eventually collected it. The kidnapper was there, right in front of you as you walked down the isle to get to your seat, but when you tripped over in the semi darkness, you spilled scalding hot coffee down the back of his neck and he had to be rushed to hospital. In that commotion the police didn't see you find and walk straight out of the theatre with the stash. The kidnapper thought the incident was an attempted arrest, and now Martin x is definitely ex.

So now that your remanded in custardy, your being charged with: wasting police time, theft, assault (aggravated actual bodily harm) and assisted manslaughter, Your lawyer says you could get 10 years, and thats if your lucky! Does anyone know how to get Polarchill out of his awful predicament?

This is where the superhero powers come in. Because he is in need of extra assistance he gets both the invisible and the flying superpowers. He becomes invisible and flies far far away.

desert, rainforest, mountains and/or beach?

Well, as long as I'm invisible, I might as well fly to the beach. Especially if it's a nude beach.

Siobhan · 24-12-06 00:31:07

perfect timing, that question: i think i'm there.

but it took a fucking helluvalotta shite to get here!

What are two qualities in yourself you would presto-chango-disappear that would immediately make you a better love interest?

blissed · 26-12-06 23:02:06

Get rid of my enormous 10 month pregnant beer belly and shave the moustache that covers the whole of my mouth, only it's not a moustache, it's just a massive bush of hairs that are growing out of my nostrils

If money makes the world go around, then what is the root of all evil?

aven frey · 27-12-06 02:41:34

we are the root of all evil.

If I have slept so much why am I still so tired?

jwhite · 27-12-06 05:37:45

with apologies to Tom Petty, and in turn, to Paul Simon-

The waking is the hardest part.

Why am I so soft in the middle when the rest of my life is so hard?

Well, the second time I read that sentence it wasn't nearly as shocking. Perhaps it's time for me to go to an optometrist.

I'm thinking it's global warming. People will be the first to go soft. Then later on trees start to get mushy. I think that's how they described it on the Discovery Channel, anyway.

Speaking of inconvenient truths, I wonder how many pounds total did we gained during our holiday dinners?

exhausted · 28-12-06 01:53:51

Probably about ten pounds

But why is everything tasty fattening.

aven frey · 28-12-06 02:07:31

because god gets drunk and turns into the devil (ref Waits)!
You know what is good but not fattening, asparagus and that's about all.
Right at this moment what is your favorite song?

blissed · 28-12-06 04:35:56

wave of mutilation, I found it on itunes at last

Is it nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them, or is it better to just wait and see how things turn out, because sometimes, your troubles arn't actually as outrageous as you think?
