Interview The Person Below You

[lowky]

Well, i suppose loads of people do this and it's certainly very annoying but I quote lyrics/books (mainly H2g2, 1984 and Farenheit 451) whenever anyone says something similar or part of the lyric/book unwittingly. I also play air drums when I'm running and dance like a lunatic. Oh, and babble at people.

Same question to you, loyal boarder.

My free association/stream of consciousness tangential flights of fancy have been known to make grown men cry.

It doesn't take much to make my Bitter Half give me one of those "Dear Lord what have I gotten myself into?" looks.

I'm also...slightly fond of office supplies.  DO NOT mess with my office supplies.  I love my office supplies, for they are good to me.

Query: What would you rather share a lunch date with, a Regulan bloodworm or a Denebian slime devil?

Denebian Slime Devil.

Oh, me, too!  I have a substantial rewards card every quarter from Office Depot.  I've often said to friends and family, if you want to buy me a gift card, make it from Office Depot!

[Talia]

Uh, wow, yeah, I meant 5th Element.

*fail*

Denebian Slime Devil.

Favorite Anime

Back on track.  My favorite song from that?  A Hard Knock Life.  Wait, you asked favorite Anime, not Annie.  I don't have a favorite.

What do you want on your tombstone?

[DKT]

Cheese, pepperonis, and sausage.

What Escape Pod (or PP or PC) story needs to get a big screen adaptation (assuming they'd NAIL it).

[Zathras]

{Now + N, Now - N}
Last Respects
Bag Boy
Stockholm Syndrome
The Heart of Tu’a Halaita
Pattern Masters
Sick Day
Moon Viewing at Shijo Bridge
The Fable of the Ostrich *don't remember the exact name*

Ok, so I cheated, sue me.  Those were the ones that came to mind.  Some of them may do better as part of an episodic television series.

What EP/PP/PC story would you like to see rewritten?

[zobmie]

there was no malice behind that question peeps.
there can be a preference but that doesnt have to be a determining factor.
what would be the female/gay version of that?  the one i can think of isnt immediately prominent upon first glance ... in most cases...

[outrageously gay friend]Oh sweetie, you have no idea.[/outrageously gay friend]

My point is that even without malice or intent it's damaging. It's the pretty models photoshopped into platonic ideals of... something not in nature. The warped idea of a woman, not one constrained by petty things like biology and physics.

I'm not saying that physical attractiveness is a bad thing, or that it shouldn't be considered in courtship, but that attempts to quantify a holistic process are dehumanizing.

I'm not going to argue.  I'm opening it up to a vote.  Ladies only, was the original question hurtful or were you just pissed there wasn't a version for you to answer?

I'm coming into this a little late but I was not hurt by it in any way... had it been my question to answer I'd have said, "Zorag seems to like a C+. lol"

What EP/PP/PC story would you like to see rewritten?

I'd like to see Zorag star in Sick Day... Not only is it within the relm of things he would actually do but he looks HOT covered in blood.

To answer your question I don't remember any of the poscasts that I thought were bad enough to be rewritten.

If you could travel to any period in time when would you like to go to?

[Listener]

Victorian London, but only if I was of one of the upper classes. Failing that, feudal times, working for a lord or something as a scribe/translator.
 
Pick your favorite "Firefly" character and tell us what Star Trek incarnation s/he would best fit into, and how.

[Zathras]

Jayne, but he's way too cool for the Star Trek universe, so I'll let someone else answer.

In the meantime, I recommend that you go watch some Chuck.

[MacArthurBug]

I'd second that but I actualy have a bit of a thing for the mechanic.. but ditto the too cool for Star treck so I'm also passing this on. And.. My gawd- Chuck is awesome we're waiting with baited breath for the third season at the Mac house.

Well I have to say that my fave is Willow, and since it's been seconded it's time for a vote (and a new question--Tricky eh?)

Who thinks the entire cast of Firefly Characters are too cool for Star Trek?

Who thinks the entire cast of Firefly Characters are too cool for Star Trek?

Meh. The Firefly characters were a bunch of thugs and reprobates. Got nothing on Worf. Or Garak, for that matter.

What dangerous exotic animal would you keep around as a pet, and why?

[MacArthurBug]

I have one- he's also a jet mechanic.. ooooh as in exotic non-human animal. Highly poisenous blue rainforest frog. So damn pretty. But I wouldn't. For oh so many reasons. 

which makes you sound like a bigger nerd: Admitting to liking firefly (pre-hype) or admitting to liking Star Trek(pre hype)?

[Zathras]

Admitting to liking Star Trek at all.

Do you wave at random strangers?

[Anarquistador]

Admitting to liking Star Trek at all.

Oooh, them's fighting words!

::prepares to engage in fisticuffs::

[Zathras]

Don't make me call Chrichton.

[lowky]

Admitting to liking Star Trek at all.

Do you wave at random strangers?

No but maybe I should start, especially when i pass the same people everyday who stare at me as if they have never seen me or any other foreigner ever before.  It's almost like I have a male appendage growing out of my forehead only others can see.

Do I have a male appendage growing out of my forehead only others can see?

[MacArthurBug]

Do I have a male appendage growing out of my forehead only others can see?

yes

where's your happy place?

[zobmie]

Getting a hug from Zorag.

Do people often look at you like they don't understand a word you're saying?

[Russell Nash]

Yes, sometimes I just don't have the right German vocabulary.


Where is your private place?

[Zathras]

If I answer this, I'm gonna get in trouble.   

[zobmie]

Chicken!

[Anarquistador]

Don't make me call Chrichton.

Pah. He'll be too busy being a Space Redneck for me to worry about.

My private place could be found on the shores of Moosehead Lake in mid-September. But I haven't been there in a while.

Do you think that the recent global economic meltdown will lead to a resurgence in Objectivist thought?

[Heradel]

Don't make me call Chrichton.

Pah. He'll be too busy being a Space Redneck for me to worry about.

Do you think that the recent global economic meltdown will lead to a resurgence in Objectivist thought?

Bwhat? Objectivist thought is what got us into this mess. I don't really think what people read is that indicative, but Greenspan's favorite book is The Fountainhead. Not that I have anything against Ayn Rand, and I really have a soft spot for Anthem, but that way of thought (incredibly limited restrictions on capitalism) is what led to deregulation and the current economic crisis.

You, for one, welcome our new _______________ overlords.
