The Question Game

[tanarill]

I've been thinking about doing this for a while now, but it was rlly my BF who convinced me too.

This is called the Question Game. You comment and ask me a question. It can be anything: funny, humorous, racy, serious, embarrassing, whatever. I have to answer it honestly. The catch is that I get to ask you a question, and you have to answer it also. We go back and forth like that until someone gives up or we get tired of playing.

Ready? Go!

67 and he will not retire, yes. Senile, diabetic 67. But at least the ninja staves off the arthritis.

I... somehow fear Jewish wine now. Because as a chemist I'll swallow most things that don't smell poisonous. But that kinda stretches my definition of what smells poisonous.

I does make me glad I'm not Jewish, actually. Or, well, at least not that Jewish.

I should get a tattoo. I've got the wings-spread dragon planned for my lower back, just have to finish designing it. Any suggestions for anything else? I was thinking of a serpent armband around my upper left arm.

It won't kill you . . . ;P

I'm not that Jewish either, although a lot of my extended family is. My immediate family only uses Malaga for the blessings. For dinner/table wines, we use dinner/table wines. I prefer Bartenura :9

Serpents are always cool. Given the entire la chatte noire thing, I think you also need to have a black cat done somewhere. Or the cat's eye. One of the two.

Is evil actually delicious, or is it just empty carbs?

[lachattenoire13.livejournal.com]

Evil tastes a lot like meat, actually. At least the evil I exude smells and tastes like meat. Impossible to wash off.

Why is it stuff to do at work only shows up when you're goofing off? That's why I'm on LJ at work, to attract Murphy's customers.

It's for the same reason that waiters at restaurant only come to take your order when you aren't ready or someone goes to the bathroom.

Acrylic or watercolor? Or some other variety?

[lachattenoire13.livejournal.com]

Acrylics at this point. I like the alcohol-based acrylics, much better than the acetone-based ones for obvious drying-time reasons.

Of course all mini paints are either acrylics or enamels.

What wonderful thing is it fast food places add to their foods that make them still safe for eating after 8 hours on the kitchen counter?

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

They are called "preservatives." Invader Zim wears them.

What belongs in chicken soup?

[lachattenoire13.livejournal.com]

Chicken, chicken stock, some salt, spices, onions, celery, carrots, and random things from the kitchen. Maybe not just from the kitchen.

Why does rot always smell sweet? Unless it's mold then it smells (and tastes) like dirt.

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

I don't actually know. Probably a leftover from evolving as small rodentlike carrion scavengers. Probably.

What is your favorite book of all time?

[lachattenoire13.livejournal.com]

That is... an oddly difficult question. I've never settled on a favorite book that lasted long enough to be called an all-time favorite book. In fact the book I liked the most and might possibly fit that category I liked when I was 4 and thus it is difficult to remember liking it. But I still enjoy the story now even though I have stronger current favorites so I'm going to go with that one.

Heidi.

Why does everything taste better fried? Even fried ice cream and fried twinkies.

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

Frying is the art of adding fat. Everything tastes better with more fat.

Whyyyyyy do I hurt so much now?

[lit-master.livejournal.com]

You just had the innards of your bones sucked out? That doesn't help things.

Also anesthesia isn't nice to you and leads to much ow.

Why are metal gears just so cool?

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

Because they are shiny and have teeth. Also, they have this whole "click click inevitable" thing going own.

What the hell is a Clockwork Orange?

[lachattenoire13.livejournal.com]

Not those metal gears, the giant mechs metal gears that stomp on people and shoot anti-aircraft missiles.

This (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066921/) is A Clockwork Orange. I recommend seeing it.

How is it in fact so hot in the San Francisco Bay Area that it's too hot to sleep? I haven't slept since monday because it's been too hot.

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

I don't know. You have a bay, that ought to regulate temperatures, not increase them . . .

Do you have Ice? Ice helps.

[lachattenoire13.livejournal.com]

I do not have ice. I had ice cream but I ate it. And it's a short term solution. I have an air conditioner but I am loathe to use it. But then I may be forced to...

I just had my pregnant friend bring her toddler over to the store for me to do readings on him (UGH!!). Why are little kids always throwing up for no reason? It almost made me sick today.

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

Because the stomachs of young children are a) smaller and b) more robust than anyone wants to acknowledge. Not only do we keep feeding them too much food, it's the wrong food. At least IMHO.

Why do people find small humans cute?

[lachattenoire13.livejournal.com]

Because without small humans there are no more big humans therefore instinct demands people protect the small humans by finding them cute.

Why do hormones create the need for me to rip out the hearts of men with my teeth and then dine on their souls?

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

Because souls are tasty and nootrishus.

Why am I hungry until confronted with the yogurt which I planned to eat?

[lachattenoire13.livejournal.com]

Because sometimes, when confronted with the prospect of soured rotten milk, the stomach goes "bleh".

Whyyyy did my boss think that setting up shop next to a haunted halfway house for insane people was a good idea? Not that the occasional game of cards with random people isn't fun but some of the nutjobs put the worst gamer funk to shame.

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

Because you get directionally challenged hauntings sometimes. It's all in the atmosphere.

How crazy are these nutjobs?

[lachattenoire13.livejournal.com]

Denied admission to the local mental hospital because they are not considered dangerous. The suicide attempts, screaming rages at hallucinations, stabbings, and aimless creepy mutterings are not enough to be considered "dangerous". Insane, yes, but when the local insane asylum is an hour's drive...

Is there an upcoming WoW expansion I don't know about? That was the third person today...

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

Not that I know of, but I'm the only one in my sorority with the willpower to resist the Warcrack, soooo . . . it's possible.

My BF is coming over for dinner, which is not the issue. The issue is that his family is also coming over to meet my family for the first time. Suggestions?

[lachattenoire13.livejournal.com]

Hide? Seriously, I doubt I'm any sort of person to ask about things like family.

Well there is the "introduce your BF to the grandfathers because your parents are less likely to be asses around their parents" suggestion but it probably has a different meaning outside of my family.

Why is it homeless moms are totally willing to buy their kids jamba juices at $5 a pop but unwilling to spring for showers?

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

Evening went off without a hitch ;)

Because showers are more important.

Why do I feel so dead?

[lit-master.livejournal.com]

Maybe because you have no bone marrow? More likely because you just spent a stressful evening trying to look perfect for two sets of families.

also, yay.

I have a muscle in my leg that's so tense I limp. Do you have any tips? Pet already suggested a giant needle, a local, and valium.
