Favorite dead author?

Damn it's hard to pick just one.  I guess H.P. Lovecraft followed closely by R. E. Howard.

Favorite R. E. Howard Story?

[gelee]

Damn it's hard to pick just one.  I guess H.P. Lovecraft followed closely by R. E. Howard.
Favorite R. E. Howard Story?

The Frost Giant's Daughter.  A very brutal Conan.

Favorite Lovecraft story?

Damn you how do you pick just one.  it's a three way tie, Beyond the Wall of Sleep, Pickman's Model, and The Music of Erich Zann.

Of those 3 which is your favorite?

[gelee]

Of those 3 which is your favorite?

Pickman's Model, though all three are excellent.

What's your Desert Island album?

Pickman's Model, though all three are excellent.

What's your Desert Island album?

How are you going to play an album on a desert island.  Take your ipod with all kinds of music, it will at least last you about 24 hours or so before the battery dies, I don't think I have ever seen a battery operated phonograph.

Favorite battery operated device?

I've seen a couple, but they're somewhat rare. They do make portable PV packs these days, could probably get enough watts for a record player (or, more likely, just recharge an iPod. Though the record player and albums, were they to be stored out of the elements, would likely last longer than the iPod).

Favorite battery operated device?

That's a bit of a personal question. No comment. Definitely nothing one would find in certain shops down in the village, and I don't know why your eyebrows are going like that. Stop it.  (More seriously, if I could even get close to affording it, this.)

If you could only listen to one decade of music, which decade?

[lowky]

If you could only listen to one decade of music, which decade?

Well I would never want to only be limited to one decade, but maybe the 90's It's when I really really got into music.  Not that there aren't a lot of other great decades.  But with the 90's it would have to include stuff from '88 and '89 that didn't really break/become known until 1990. For example, I was listening to nine inch nails in '89 because they opened for an older act I went to see, but I didn't hear them on the radio until 1990 and not on more main stream until almost 1992.

If you could only read SF/F/H from one decade, what would it be?
Seemed to stump people so...
What is your favorite city

[Zorag]

Aydindril.

If you could bring any one person from the past to the present, who would it be?

[Talia]

Aydindril.

If you could bring any one person from the past to the present, who would it be?

Benjamin Franklin. People go on and on about the Founding Fathers this and that, I'm curious what one of them would actually think about the current day. And I've read enough about him to grok that he was a really, really smart fellow, who might actually be able to function passably well in present day without his head exploding.

If you could fix just one thing about the world today, any one thing, what would it be?

[Zorag]

I would make interstellar transportation a reality.                                                 What series (book, tv, movie) would you like to see more of?

[Bdoomed]

I'd love to say Cowboy Bebop (and not the live action movie that will most likely suck), but it ended so well and I'd hate for that series to be blemished in any way (goddamn live action movie that will most likely suck!)... So I'm going to go with Invader Zim.  They were canceled before they could end the series, which was going to be ended in 5 or so episodes.  Damn Nickelodeon.  I'd love to see those last episodes completed.

If you could hybridize a breakfast cereal/food, what would you make (and what would you call it?)?  (ex. combining honey nut cheerios with... I dunno, pop tarts )

[Zorag]

Eggs and waffles, rolled up then yanked tight...wait for it...WEDGIES!  Same question again.

[Faraway Ray]

A: Probably some kind of bacon flavored cereal. Maybe bacon bits with little nuggets of sausage? "Lucky Meats" or "Fleshmeal" or "Baconator: The Cereal" or something. We need more meat-based cereals.

Edit: FWIW, the perfect combo breakfast food exists. It's the maple/bacon donut made by Dinky Donuts in Middlebury Vermont. Real bacon. Real maple syrup. It's probably what god tastes like and it will completely destroy your ability to enjoy donuts from other places.

Q: How many kinds of fish can you name?

[CryptoMe]

Salmon, Pollock, Pike, Smelt, Bass, White Fish, Trout, Catfish, Carp, Tench, Sunfish, Tilapia, Red Snapper, Herring, Grouper, Haddock, Cod, Anchovi, Sardine, Tuna, Mahi-Mahi, Barramundi, Shark, Angel Fish, Goldfish, Betta ... and that is all I can come up with off the top of my head. 

What is your favourite summer activity?

[Listener]

Not going outside.

Favorite Transformer? (caveat: must have existed before 1995)

[heyes]

Favorite Transformer? (caveat: must have existed before 1995)

Soundwave.

Do you use a manual or electric toothbrush, and what brand?

[Anarquistador]

Electric. An Oral-B Dual Action.

Why do you ask?

[Zorag]

Because I want an answer.                                                    What do you want?
