Ask a forumer anything...

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Working.  Tomorrow it's an elementary school.

 

What's the most impressive place you've visited?  Why?

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Lucerne, Switzerland. Just the old town charm left you feel like you'd stepped back several hundred years. The mountains and tree lined lake certainly had an impression.

Ever been to the opposite hemisphere of your country?

[Fatherted 129]

No. I want to. At least I've crossed the continent border...

What would your ideal house contain and look like?

[RipRap 4,400]

A bed, a bath and a kitchen. Don't care about how it looks as long as it has a roof, a wall and a door. Coming from a family where we didn't have any luxury, those are of upmost importance.

 

What was your favourite childhood moment?

[UndercoverNinja12 176]

Off the top of my head I can't think of one specific moment....although I loved going out and playing kickball every day at recess. Although, depending on your definition of "childhood", I might be at the upper crust of that.

 

Do you like candy corn?

[Mr Saturn64 742]

Best

Candy

Ever

 

Is it cold where you live?

[RipRap 4,400]

Canada, eh? It was just -9 this morning!

 

Do you hate rainy days?

[TekindusT 3,809]

When I'm outside without an umbrella, yes, I do.

 

Do you like watching through the mirror on rainy days?

[Mr Saturn64 742]

I love rainy days, but I can stare into a mirror any day.

 

What do you post from?

[Schulmanator 5,787]

My PC most of the time and my iPhone the balance of the time...

 

 

 

If you won the lottery and bought Maxis, and you could make the next SimCity whatever you wanted, what would it be like?

[Haljackey 17,325]

SimCity 5: Grand Theft Auto. Build the city of your dreams then wreck mayhem in it!

 

What is your favorite car?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Practical car: Subaru Legacy 2.5GT Wagon.  Hey, I'm a family man, after all.  But yo, this car is fast.

 

Attainable dream car: (tie) Subaru Impreza WRX STi 22B and Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (current model) I love the Subie boxer burble, but then again, I cannot ignore my American roots.

 

Dream car: Aston Martin DB7: The most beautiful car ever built.  You could disagree, but you'd be wrong.

 

What is your favorite thing to do in your free time that's NOT computer related?

[flatron 83]

It's seasonal with me:

Spring: mountain-biking

Summer: Swimming/sunbathing

Winter: Skiing of course

Autumn: reading books

 

What do you eat and drink for breakfast on a normal weekday?

[RipRap 4,400]

A variety. All I can say is that it involves rice too.

 

What do you usually do during weekends?

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Work.

Do you tip waiters?

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Yes. In the USA they only get 2.13/hr, so it is sort of expected.

 

And when I am out of the country it feels kinda weird to not do so... like I'm being naughty and cheaping out.

 

 

 

So, any wish(es) that you would have (or not have) done something in your past that would change who you are today had you done (or not done) it/them?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I would have majored in education instead of the stupid liberal arts degree I got.  I'm making the most of it, though, and my decisions got me married to a great girl and we had two really cute babies, so I'm not sure I would change anything.  I'd hate to give up what I have.

 

Do you like spiders?

[GeometryMath Algebra 614]

Hmmm... sometimes, only if they're small. D:

Are you a girl?

Do you like Waffles?

[UndercoverNinja12 176]

Only with melted butter and soaked in syrup.

Do you have any pets?

[flatron 83]

Not since a beasty cat killed all the goldfish in my pond

 

How tall are you?

[MandelSoft 2,769]

1.92m. We dutch are the tallest people in the world

Single, girlfriend/boyfriend, engaged, married, divorced or widowed?

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

In a relationship with a lovely girl. Four months and counting

Ever fired a gun?

[Mr Saturn64 742]

No nor do I ever want to.

Do you live within 100 miles of your country's capital?

[RipRap 4,400]

Not even close. (Winnipeg is a 24 hour drive from Ottawa, the Canadian Capital)

 

Can you swim?

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Hell yes! It was a 30 degree day yesterday, so I decided to go to the pool.

Worst weather event you've experienced?

[GeometryMath Algebra 614]

Typhoon Xangsane (locally named as Milenyo), hit us in 2006. But technically, just today, Super Typhoon Haiyan, (locally Yolanda) made landfall at 315 km/h windspeeds. But technically, Typhoon Xangsane back in 2006 because that hit Manila, and Haiyan hit Visayas, which is far from Manila.

Have you experienced a Category 5 typhoon/hurricane?

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Nope.  I've lived in the Midwest and various places across Honshu, Japan's main island.  Big storms like that don't go to either places.

 

What's the most exciting weather event you've ever experienced?

[timmie 988]

No exciting weather events here. I know, disappointing. Sorry.

 

What's the nastiest thing you've ever eaten?

[Mr Saturn64 742]

Scrapple. It's a Philadelphia thing. The parts of a pig that no one wants. Worst part is that there was a scrapple eating contest at Reading Terminal Market in Center City last week.

What foods are native to where you live?
