Probably Sydney, Australia followed by my home town, Melbourne. Both have a population of over 4 million. (This is despite visiting 6 other countries).

Favourite country in the world?

MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS!!! (But for foreign countries, I'll go for Canada due to their highways.)

No more than 10 years old, SC for SNES.  Those were the days...  *wistful sight*

 

Do you have a favorite superhero?  For the purposes of this question, assume you do and tell us why you like this particular superhero.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. I don't know why, maybe because it was more of my childhood than any other.

Favorite childhood cartoon?

Pokemon!

If I gave you one potato, what would you do with it?

I have been wearing a poppy around though.

Any relatives fought in a war?

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Indeed. My family has fought for Virginia in every war in which it was ever involved....

 

For close relatives, my grandfather was in the Army Air Corps in the Philippines...

two uncles in the Navy/ Marines for Korea...

a great aunt who was a WAVE in WW2...

Two cousins who went to military services academies...

 

And my hometown is the home of the Manhattan Project, so my parents were cold warriors (if that counts)

 

 

So, anyone want to come share my still warm yummy chocolate chip cookies?

[Duke87 1,070]

Yes please! Though they'll probably be cold by the time I get there.

 

Have you ever been to Vermont?

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

[TekindusT 3,809]

Not many, 3 or 4 a week.

 

Espresso, Macciatto, Capuccino, Americano...?

[RipRap 4,400]

I don't know. Maybe the Filipino "Barako" bitter coffee might do.

 

Worst situation you've ever been to is....
