Ask a forumer anything...

[jmsepe 2,039]

Nope, I don't watch TV. But I do download TV shows. I like watching anime and some US shows such as 24 (currently finishing), The Big Bang Theory, Two and Half Men and some other sitcoms... I watch discovery too sometimes. 

 

What do you think is best place to live in? (Limitations: Earth) 

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

Oh, no, I was going to say Mars! But that's ok. I think the best place should be a place you really like, cuz there are a lot of places really good in many countries, so I don't know answer this question 

 

If someday humans could colonize a planet, would you like to visit it?

[Ganaram Inukshuk 906]

If the planet in question was Mars, then I'm not so sure about the 9-month commute. Now if it were the moon, even though it isn't a planet, a 4-day commute wouldn't be too bad.

 

What do you think is the worst part of such a commute?

[The Pennsylvania Turnpike 252]

Leaving the earth's atmosphere would be the worst probably

 

How long is your daily commute if you have one?

[Mr Saturn64 742]

My school commute is not long, but 'tis the suburban way to drive everywhere. Ugh....

What season is it?

[Prophet42 1,502]

Calendar says spring, but it feels like winter.

 

What is your temperature comfort range when you are outside?

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

Something around 20º C.

 

Do you use MMPs?

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Of course! Especially girafes trees.

Proudest SC4 work?

[RipRap 4,400]

This extremely long 120 picture update of an Olympic Opening Ceremony in 2012.

Also this

Is your life way too repetitive right now?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

No.  Nothing in life is too repetitive when a pair of toddlers is involved.

 

How do you commute to work/school?  How long does it take?  Is it enjoyable?

[Prophet42 1,502]

I drive to work.  On a normal day it takes about 40 minutes.  On a bad day (usually snowing) it can take 2 hours.  The beginning part through the countryside is enjoyable.  The interstate is not (too crowded and too many idiot drivers.

 

Would you rather play Monopoly or Risk?

[RipRap 4,400]

I would play Risk, as it is available for me right now.

 

If you have a time machine, what era will you come back to and why?

[SeanNBiloxi 10]

Late 1980's - Early 1990's. My favorite time.

 

Do you have a significant other?

[Duke87 1,070]

Not currently. Broke up with my last one about 11 months ago (and good riddance).

 

Do you watch a lot of TV?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Recently, yes.  The Spring Sumo Tournament has been on, so I get an hour or two every day for that.  After it's over tomorrow, I won't watch at all.

 

Are you an expert at anything?  If so, what, and why? 

[jmsepe 2,039]

Expert? That is quite a heavy word. I'm more of a jack of all trades and master of none person. I prefer knowing a lot of things than being excellent at one particular aspect of my life. 

 

Have you ever participated into a sports competition and did you win? Please specify the sport involved. 

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Primary school swimming competitions, that's about it. When I made it to regionals I got slaughtered, Haha.

Have you participated in an "odd" sport? (one that is plain unusual worldwide or simply little known in your country)

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I live in Japan, so everyone looks at me like, "WOW, YOU'RE SO BIG AND STRONG AND TOUGH!" when I tell them I used to play hockey and football back in the States.  Those are incredibly unusual sports here.  Looking at it from the other direction, my son and I pretend we're sumo wrestlers all the time and have little 15-bout tournaments almost every day, which would be unusual if we were back in America.  So yeah, I guess so, depending on your perspective.

 

Have you ever climbed a mountain (even walking up the path to Clingman's Dome counts)?

[Ganaram Inukshuk 906]

(Why did I just read part of that in Dutch?) Well, not really climbed with actual equipment, but more like hiked. A lot of field trips to the local national park when I was young...

 

If you live(d)/visited in the US, which national park did you visit the most?

[RipRap 4,400]

It's already in the plans... We are driving to Yellowstone this summer!

 

Are you a "human GPS"?

[Schulmanator 5,787]

I live in Japan, so everyone looks at me like, "WOW, YOU'RE SO BIG AND STRONG AND TOUGH!" when I tell them I used to play hockey and football back in the States.  Those are incredibly unusual sports here.  Looking at it from the other direction, my son and I pretend we're sumo wrestlers all the time and have little 15-bout tournaments almost every day, which would be unusual if we were back in America.  So yeah, I guess so, depending on your perspective.

 

Have you ever climbed a mountain (even walking up the path to Clingman's Dome counts)?

 

First, Clingman's Dome should count... it's the highest point in Tennessee!

 

And living closer to the Great Smoky Mtns NP than any other makes that my most visited NP.

 

 

And human GPS, not quite, but I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better at directions than the rest of my family put together!

 

 

Your favorite and least favorite vegetables?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

My favorite is the delicious green pepper.  My least favorite is probably okra because slimy foods are just disgusting.

 

Heh, isn't Clingman's Dome the highest mountain in all the Appalachians?  Of all the US National Parks, I've only ever been to Smoky Mountains National Park, it's beautiful in all seasons (although I've only ever been in the summer and fall).  But it is just a path up there

 

What's the most beautiful natural place you've ever been?

[Prophet42 1,502]

I would have to say the Olympic National Park on the Olympic Peninsula in the state of Washington.  Absolutely gorgeous.

 

What's the biggest country you have visited?

[Cyclone Boom 16,974]

That would be Australia a few years ago.

If you could go anywhere, what would be your dream holiday destination?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Tahiti minus kids plus an unlimited budget.

 

What do you like to snack on?

[timmie 988]

I like crisps (cour cream and onion, hmmmm), but luckily we don't often buy it, because that would be very bad for my health

 

Pasta or rice?

[jmsepe 2,039]

Depends on the mood, I'm a Filipino so most of the time I eat rice but a pasta once in a while isn't too bad.

 

What made you choose your current profession (if working or retired) or degree (if student)? 

 

 

Primary school swimming competitions, that's about it. When I made it to regionals I got slaughtered, Haha.

Have you participated in an "odd" sport? (one that is plain unusual worldwide or simply little known in your country)

 

Well, people do get slaughtered during competitions, I felt that one too. Hahahaha

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

I chose electrical engineering because I always liked that area during high school, and I have relatives who work with it.

 

Do you like old movies?

[Vitoraju 675]

Yes. 

 

Have you visited Central Park?

[Prophet42 1,502]

No.

 

I have  you been to 'the Bean' in Chicago?
