Ask a forumer anything...

[raynev1 1,886]

Only about 320 miles +/- . Then I couldn't turn my head , because my neck hurt so bad .

What was/is your favorite class in school ?

[madhatter106 3,903]

I rather enjoyed my History of German Film class ages ago in university.  I had watched a number of them growing up, but it was interesting to catch others I hadn't seen before, such as "The Tin Drum," "Aguirre: Wrath of God," and "The Blue Angel."  I missed "The Marriage of Maria Braun," but I have never been a Fassbinder fan (outside of his amazing "Berlin Alexanderplatz.")

What is your favorite poem?

[Themistokles 134]

Skipping Shakespeare then this one by Bertold Brecht:

Reicher Mann und armer Mann standen da und sah’n sich an,
und der Arme sagte bleich: ‚Wär ich nicht arm wärst du nicht reich.’

Which in English means something like:

Rich man and poor man stood there looking at each other, 
And the poor man said: "If I were not poor, you would not be rich."

 

Have you ever travelled solo abroad or would like to do so?

[Skimbo 304]

I tend to do this quite often.

 

 

Ever wanted to be something elles than human? (Cuz being human is boring )

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

I am more than human.

Have you watched new Top Gear?

[jmsepe 2,038]

Nope.

What is your motivation in life. 

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Freedom.  I want to do what I want how I want, and not simply work to make someone else rich.  SO while my current job is fine, it still sucks and I want my freedom back.

 

Do you like coffee?  If so, what kind?  If not, why not?

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

To put it simply: I have never touched coffee in my life. And I don't plan to, because I can live without and that's fine.

Food you would never want to touch?

[raynev1 1,886]

Liver .

What's the difference between a grave robber and an archaeologist ? 

[Whte_rbt 1,431]

A sales department.

Why does humanity insist upon elevating morons to positions of power?

[Themistokles 134]

Self-recognition I suppose.

Where'd you go if you had a one-way ticket for a time machine?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

California in 1965.

Which decade gave us the best music?

[Delta 88 262]

For me, it's a tossup between the 70s and 80s. My favorite period in music is 1975-84, that was a nice ten-year peak.

Ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

No, not really.  I married my apex girl, there's no looking back for me.

 

What music are you listening to these days?  What do you find interesting about it?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Mostly 70s rock, mostly by Bowie or Led Zep.

Best TV series ever?

[jmsepe 2,038]

Hmmm. Animated or not. For animated, I think its Avatar, the orignal one with Aang. For not animated, I have no idea. I rarely watch non-animated series but I nominate Tenchijin for that. It's a good series about Kanetsugu Naoe.

What do you expect in your life in the next five years?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I expect to move back to Japan, get more stories written, and get most of them published so I can get paid for them.  I'm pretty good at writing, and if you're good at something, you shouldn't do it for free.

 

What is the most impressive natural feature you've ever seen?  What made it so great?

[Prophet42 1,501]

I would have to say the Grand Canyon (from either the top or the bottom).  There is a reason they call it 'Grand'.

What's the longest you have stayed away from your 'home' country?

[raynev1 1,886]

Never , but someday maybe .

Do you like Botany ?

[Themistokles 134]

Yeah, kinda. Especially if you toss ecology and system biology into the mix. Botany alone is too much names and categories for me, so I'd need the others to balance it out.

If you'd have to move to another country, which would that be? Why?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Singapore, because I've been there once and I loved it. Other contenders are Norway (too close) and the US (will have a crap president in less than a year's time).

Urban or rural life?

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

I live in a rural area, and since I grew up like that, I wouldn't want it to change.

I liked Themistokles question. What country would you move to if you have to leave your current home?

[Skimbo 304]

Swizerland.

 

 

 

Want to be well known one day or prefeir a comfy life without public attention?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

The latter. Though I can't deny being looked up to by all the world would also be nice.

Do you pronounce it de-fault or dee-fault?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I'm indiscriminate about my usage of this word.  I have no default position.

 

What's the best children's entertainment?  Why do you think so?

[Delta 88 262]

I don't know a whole lot about children's entertainment, but I guess just letting children be children (daydreaming, playing with a stick, getting dirty, doing stupid things, getting into trouble, etc) works best. I don't think they should be pampered, but maybe that's just me.

Do you ever go on long walks?

[metarvo 710]

A lot.  There's something about a long walk that focuses me.  Of course, it's good exercise, too.

Do you ever go to your country's national parks (if yours has them)?

[raynev1 1,886]

I don't remember if I've been to any national parks , but I've been to several State Parks .

What do you do when not on Simtropolis or playing SC4 ?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Work.  That's about it.  Then on the weekends I get to play with my kids, read old comics, and drink beer while playing NCAA Football 2007 on ye olde PS2.  I have gotten the occasional game of SC4 in, too.

 

Have you tried SimCity BuildIt?

 

 

[Skimbo 304]

nope.

 

 

 

Ever watched a series you actually didn't like just to have one more conversation topic with people you know?
