Ask a forumer anything...

[MandelSoft 2,769]

Cola/soda. I like chocolate and I like milk, but somehow I can't stand chocolate milk.

Did you ever go on diet?

[RipRap 4,400]

Pfft, what diet? (PS not obese either).

 

Does Red Bull give you wings?

[timmie 988]

I only tried it once (I got a can for free) and I thought it didn't taste good so I guess not

 

Ordinary Coke, Diet Coke, or Coke Zero?

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

Ordinary Coke (I hate diet and zero   )

 

 

What's the best thing about your hometown? 

[RipRap 4,400]

It's -30 temperatures.

 

Do you prefer a desktop or a laptop? Why?

[Prophet42 1,501]

I used to prefer a desktop, but now I prefer a laptop (more portable).

 

Have you ever had Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza?  If so, where were you when you had it?

[Schulmanator 5,787]

I have. Pizzaria Uno, amongst others. Not a huge fan... too heavy and the crust is too greasy. I like hand tossed.

 

How do you pronounce "pecan"?

Time to time, I'm reminded of them myself because of how I have to enforce them.

Maarten, your mentioning of chocolate milk reminded me of a weird dream I had that involved me getting chocolate milk because there was no other beverage available. To the next forumer, has the situation where you're forced to take the less desirable beverage ever happened to you constantly?

[Mr Saturn64 742]

No, as water has been my favorite.

What color are your eyes?

What is your favorite cartoon character?

[Lot Creator 304]

Tom and Jerry, the older cartoons in general.

 

Would you trade SC13 for CXL Platnium?

[timmie 988]

I have absolutely no idea, I think I dislike them both

 

Do you edit your SC4-pics before uploading them?

[airman15 4,111]

I am practicing with the GIMP. I just downloaded a bunch of snow-patch brushes and so far I am liking the results! I will post results later, probably in the Show Us What You're Working On thread.

 

What are some of the best City Journals you have seen? What would you say makes them unique?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Schulmania has a great story and a wonderful, inclusive feel to it.  Fox's Asgard feels alive, and has wonderful pictures.  Paeng's Paengia is so intricately lotted. Huston, spursrule14, and TekindusT have great photo editing skills.  Nathanthemayor's journal has improved so much as he's worked on it, to me that is incredibly impressive as well.  There are others I like but I can't seem to think of them right now.  I think that anyone who has a city ready to show, puts time into their journal, adds some details to make it feel 'alive,' those are the people whose journals I enjoy seeing.  Generally speaking, if you make a journal, chances are it's like that, so.

 

What are some of the best things you've read recently?  Why?  (psst, it doesn't need to be a novel)

[timmie 988]

The first thing that comes to mind is an academic article about Schindler's List and why it is perceived as an authentic movie. It looks at the techniques used to create the perception of truth. This of course linked to the question if it is problematic or not to fictionalize history (but Schindler's List was actually quite accurate). Yes, I know, but that's all I read these days...

 

The best movie of the previous year?

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

The Hobbit

 

What's the best thing about you? (hard question =D)

[The Avatar 1,089]

I think the best thing about me is that I'm not afraid to be different and unique, but other people may say otherwise.

 

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to ask a question. (It was early in the mornin' - brain not working yet.)

[Mr Saturn64 742]

*no question, no answer*

 

What is your favorite city to visit?

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

San Francisco, should be nice.

 

 

Do you like Need for Speed?

[NielsC007 499]

I think it's okay. But have a logitech G25 which is steering wheel with an H-shifter, that makes it a lot more fun.

 

Do you like racing games?

[timmie 988]

I don't really have an opinion about racing games.

What word do you use to refer to soft drinks: soda, pop or coke?

[airman15 4,111]

Soda, almost everyone in California says the same.

 

Are you a fan of Chocolate?

[GeometryMath Algebra 614]

Say whuh?

[Prophet42 1,501]

I say nothing.

 

Would you rather store up gold or diamonds, and why?

[airman15 4,111]

Not sure about gold or diamond. But my family has been talking about investing in Silver saying it's price will drop to around $15 per ounce and then jump up after hitting that low. 

 

What are some of the coolest coins you have seen?

[RipRap 4,400]

A giant .999 gold coin displayed at the Royal Canadian Mint. I have also seen an old Greek Coin alongside with a pre-Eurozone drachma. Also coins with holes in them .

Have you heard of the 'Rule of 72'?
