Interview The Person Below You

[lowky]

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


Are you hopeful?

only for new technology

Would you get an implantable computer if/when it becomes available?

[Anarquistador]

I'll wait for the Beta Testing to be completed before I insert something into my flesh, if that's okay. Early adaption leads to too much heartache already.

How will our machines eventually destroy us: sentience and resentment, or just incompetent programming?

Yes,

Will there ever be another Joss Whedon tv show with the power of Buffy? (My view is no, but...)

[Anarquistador]

Unless Whedon changes his current marketing strategy, I agree, no. He needs to go the JJ Abrams route, and actually make some friends at a network. A network that's not Fox, maybe.

More infuriating: the ending to Stephen King's Dark Tower, or any given episode of Lost?

actually I think it will take Whedon moving to a subscription based network where there isn't as much of a monetization issue or a new network starting that can't afford to cancel shows.  He writes great tv but he is too slow in getting them moving.  I don't even think that Buffy would make it past season one today, it was a timing thing where the new network it was on couldn't afford to lose a TV show.  I didn't really start to like Buffy until season 2.  It's a shame that things look so glum for dollhouse as it was really starting to take off imho.



More infuriating: the ending to Stephen King's Dark Tower, or any given episode of Lost?

Well since I have only watched one episode of Lost (I don't know why but when it started I thought it was another reality show like survivor and so I didn't watch it then felt I was too far behind to start.  I have season one now to watch so will be checking it out), I will go with the Dark Tower.

Shawshank Redemption or The Green Mile?

[/quote]

[Raving_Lunatic]

Shawshank, quite easily.


Best thing that happened to you today?

[MacArthurBug]

Shawshank, quite easily.


Best thing that happened to you today?

I had an idea that may well change my short term future.

What's the strangest place you've traveled to?

[Russell Nash]

New Jersey



What's the dumbest thing you've overheard someone on the street say?

[Heradel]

New Jersey



What's the dumbest thing you've overheard someone on the street say?

"I don't know man — I'm freaking out, can she get pregnant from a blowjob?"

(Incidentally, I'd answer Jersey as well).

Would you rather have Firefly Season 2 or a new Star Trek series?

[stePH]

"I don't know man — I'm freaking out, can she get pregnant from a blowjob?"

In at least one documented case, yes.  The woman in question took the semen from her mouth and impregnated herself with it.  The man unsuccessfully tried to litigate out of paying child support.

"Mommy, where do babies come from?"

"They come from blowjobs and duplicity, honey."

* * *

Toss-up.  As I've said before, I'm underwhelmed by the first Firefly disc and haven't bothered to watch further.  But a new Star Trek series could be even worse than Voyager or Enterprise.

Was there a spoon?

[Listener]

There was no spoon.

***

Would you rather:

* be fired, get a severance package of one month's pay, but have to clear out your desk in two days and have no warning?
* be laid off, get no severance package, but have one more month before your last day actually arrives?

(Two people in my office got fired today, their last days being this Friday, and across the division another 40 bit it.)

[zobmie]

I'd rather get the severance package.  Then I'd have my days free to lok for another job.

What was the worst job you ever had?

[Portrait in Flesh]

What was the worst job you ever had?

Well, I've had a filthy job, a degrading job, and a job that's led to a mental breakdown.  Kind of hard to choose.

More horrifying prospect: The Kingdom of the Spiders or the Empire of the Ants?

ants are far creepier, but they are more adept at farming aphids already, so maybe they can be beneficient rulers

[Russell Nash]

There was no question asked, so I'll go back and answer the Firefly v. Star trek question.

I'd kill to get another season of Firefly and I'd kill to never have another Star Trek series.


When our new (fill-in your own choice here) Overlords take command, will you fight, go along with whatever they say, or ingratiate yourself to them and try to get a position of power.

The position of power.  I personally hope for Zombie Pirates.  I want to have a position of power so when the FSM decides to unleash his wrath I will be doing my part to support his chosen people even if they have become zombies.

distracted by the idea of zombie pirates forgot my question.
What super power and why?

[Listener]

What super power and why?

The ability to make headaches go away -- I seem to get them a lot, usually right before I go to exercise.

If a magic pill to make extra weight (ie: fatness) go away, though it has dangerous/painful side effects, would you:

* live healthily so I don't have to use the pill.
* live in excess and use the pill anyway.

I am fat now I will be fat in the future screw the pill and live in excess

would you rather be happy and ugly or unhappy but beautiful/handsome

[zobmie]

That's an unfair question as I am both beautiful and happy. 

How old were you when you had your first romantic kiss?

[Raving_Lunatic]

Not yet.

Passing it on.

[Listener]

Not yet.

Passing it on.

15. We had three miscues before we finally just got it over with.

Krystal or White Castle?

[Raving_Lunatic]

White Castle.

Rotten Fruit or Damaged Goods?

[Russell Nash]

Damaged Goods, I salvage everything for parts.


Mars or Venus?

[Raving_Lunatic]

Mars, because it's more hopsitable, closer, and the david bowie song.

Coffee or No Coffee?

[lowky]

Coffee preferably an Iced Mocha

Diablo 1 or Diablo 2

Well since nobody seems to be interested in Diablo and it's raining here.

Umbrella or Raincoat
