You, for one, welcome our new _______________ overlords.

Hentai demon tentacle rapist (should that have a content warning?)  ;D


Groucho, Chico, or Harpo?

RE: Objectvism. A lot of Ayn Rand apologists I've read lately say that "true" Objectivist thought takes a long view toward personal prosperity, that's it's not just simple unfettered avarice - the kind of avarice that did in fact get us into this mess. It's the whole "invisible hand" argument, that properly-utilized rational self-interest actually benefits society as a whole. Yeah, it looks good on paper, but in practice we'd probably all end up killing each other for plasmids.

How do you prefer your dragons: ancient capricious dispensers of primal wisdom? Or sheep-eating, countryside-burning monsters?

The first- although flying serpants take a strong third.

Passing this question foreward 'cause I'm curious.

Oh, great and mighty Alasdair, Orator Maleficent, He of the Silvered Tongue, guide this humble fangirl past jumping up and down and squeeing upon hearing the greatness of Thy voice.
Oh mighty Mur the Magnificent. I am not worthy.

Whatever Tyrnon qualifies as, from the Nina Kimberly the Merciless podcast by Christiana Ellis.

What movie do you find yourself watching every time it's on TV, even if it's halfway through when you turn it on, and despite all the censorship and commercials?

Donnie Darko would be mine. Also, unwillingly, Groundhog Day.


Ever read Farenheit 451?

I remember trying to read it as a child (about 4th grade) but I didn't really understand alot of it at the time and grew board. 

and FYI my tv movies would be blues brothers and Wizard of Oz.

Which backlog of podcasts should I tackle next now that I am caught up on Siglerism.  EP, PP or PC (at least one month probably two behind)?

depends on what you like best: But lately PP has been putting out some really good stuff.

Do you have a tattoo? If so where is it and what is it?

No.  Despite legend that he was the funniest of all of them on stage, the films had him stuck in the "straight" role.  Not uncoincidentally, he was actually absent from a number of the films.

Yes.  I have an anarchy symbol (horribly botched home job) covered by a skull, and later added a dragon around the skull.  Right upper arm.
Dagger with the word Frihet.  Left forearm.
Viking runes.  Right ankle.
GIGO right forearm.

If you could walk up and punch someone in the face with no repercussions, who would it be?

Right now? this stupid [censored] who's proud of herself for killing an elephant with a bow. If only the result had been the opposite:

Off the top of your head, what's the one thing that pisses you off the most?
About anything, I mean. Yes, its a broad question, but it could be fun. :)

Well. I guess repression of freedom of speech, fascism, obesity when others starve, conformity, the destruction of the individual, television, the world in general. I'm a cynical teenager. What did you expect? So my real answer here would have to be:

1) The Frontal Lobotomy

Because I know and love people who would have been sent for this treatment, and indeed am one myself.

I'm so glad this thread kicked off, aren't you?

This thread is awesome. 

Do you carry/wear a good luck charm if so what?

Well, there's one thing of my girlfriend's I keep in my bag but shall not mention as she would kill me if she ever gets around to reading the forums. So I guess the real (well, official) answer is a couple of Lego figures that I've had in my various backpacks and messenger bags since elementary school.

What is the most outrageous thing you have overheard?

I Twitter. I also occasionally blog on the Escape Pod blog, which if you're here you shouldn't have much trouble finding.

Whilst ordering lunch at a drive-thru one day, the girl taking my order replied as follows:

"Um, we don't make quesadillas with cheese."

Zombies: better when shambling or hauling ass after you?

Don't make me unleash the Google on you.

Have you ever owned a bike with streamers on it?  How about a banana seat?  Or a sissy bar?

Streamers, no.  Everything else, yes.  We used to have Frankenbikes.  We'd take apart 5 or 6 bikes and cobble them together.  We made a bicycle for two that was a death trap.

You walk out your front door and see that your neighbor is a zombie, and he's eating the mail man.  What do you do?

I'd call back into the house, "You were right about him, honey.  Get the gun."

How many times have you watched the orginal version Star Wars?

Gremlins, no reason to take one of the copies when you can see the original.


Are you hopeful?
