hmmmmmmmmm
McDonalds is much cheaper....but you get what you pay for.

Gotta go with Burger King.

have you ever mooned someone? and if so please share the story

bobster · Post by **bobster** » Tue Apr 27, 2004 6:52 pm

No. However, a good friend of mine has a frat boy past and not only mooned remarkably often (and even when I knew him, which was after he got out of college).

He also took the things to the next step, got into streaking and was arrested for it twice during his college days in Berkeley. He was told if he had one more streaking offense, he'd actually have to register as a sex offender.

Years pass. He becomes a more or less completely respectable citizen, the occasional mooning aside. Even does jury duty. He gets put up as prospective juror on a case. The charge: Indecent Exposure. The judge asks if he's ever been involved with a relevant case. My friend explains and much courtroom mirth ensues.

What is your LEAST favorite dessert?

Tim(e) · Post by **Tim(e)** » Tue Apr 27, 2004 9:44 pm

Least favourite dessert is the Ghobi... well actually, it is really lemon sago. I managed to turn myself off this as a kid after continually upsetting my brother's appetite by telling him it was "frog's eggs" (my tyaunts came back to bite me). My other dislike is cold rice pudding... just something about the way it slides down the back of the throat that is rather off-putting.

Rubber or leather?

Rubber of course. How else would my tyres grip the road?

What is your favourite flavour milkshake?

Strawberry, with crushed ice.

Keeping the abortion act legal doesn't imply anything specific -- a democratic law doesn't infer what your personal morality should be. It's meant to describe the limits of what is acceptable or not for those collectively living under it, for what is deemed the most acceptable broader outcome by them.

What was/is your favourite toy?

mood swung · Post by **mood swung** » Wed Apr 28, 2004 3:07 pm

Electronic Detective - kind of on the same sort of premise as these Leap Frog things are today. However, this was 30 years ago, so it was kind of primitive. But it was ELECTRONIC!!!! Also a little doll, kind of Barbie's little sister Kelly-sized, but nearly hairless and called Pee Wee. She was like my talisman. She fell out of my pocket while we were riding horses on the beach in Mexico--the guide found her and I said thank you in Spanish for the very first time. One more: my Clownie. blue and white cloth clown doll. My evil sister threw it out the car window on the freeway near Fresno CA. I point to that event as where most of my 'issues' evolved from!

Would you like to be a space tourist?

oily slick · Post by **oily slick** » Wed Apr 28, 2004 5:28 pm

like outer space? naw. i don't like to fly and there ain't nothin' out there we're gonna get to. i haven't even been to montana yet.

do you want to be buried, creamated, blown up, what?

selfmademug · Post by **selfmademug** » Wed Apr 28, 2004 5:28 pm

God yes!!!!!!

Got anything pierced?

selfmademug · Post by **selfmademug** » Wed Apr 28, 2004 5:30 pm

Oh dear I missed my moment for space travel.

Cremated. And scattered off one of those swing rides at an amusement park, joyfully and all over an unsuspecting populace.

Got anything pierced??

Goody2Shoes · Post by **Goody2Shoes** » Wed Apr 28, 2004 5:46 pm

Mug, that image is crackin' me up! I'm gonna have to do that, too, would you mind? My own plans for a quiet send-off just seem so...quiet now.

I have a friend who went camping with her second husband in the same place where she had scattered her first husband's ashes, and they found little bits of charred bone when they were pitching their tent. AND both of their names were Richard (the husbands, that is, not hers).

The question is do you have anything pierced.

laughingcrow · Post by **laughingcrow** » Wed Apr 28, 2004 5:47 pm

No...and I don't think I'd ever want to either.

Got any tattoos? Im giving serious consideration to having a crow with wings outstretched tattooed across my shoulder blades.

selfmademug · Post by **selfmademug** » Thu Apr 29, 2004 10:04 am

I have a large-ish tattoo of a thistle on my right upper arm. And a large scar running down the back of my left upper arm.

Go for it, LC! My advice about tattoos:

- Do your homework, find a GREAT image that you LOVE. I got mine from a 19th c. botanical journal, so I know no one else will ever have anything like it.

- Find a good artist, one who listens.

- KEEP TAT OUT OF THE SUN!!

Now, another body-altering question. If someone else was paying, would you get any kind of cosmetic surgery, and if so, what?

miss buenos aires · Post by **miss buenos aires** » Thu Apr 29, 2004 10:26 am

Ew, gross. Never. I'm not knocking myself out and letting somebody come at me with a knife just so I can have bigger tits or whatever. I like my size, and I like my shape, and if other people don't they can go to hell.

Have you ever dated someone whose first language was not the same as yours?

Tim(e) · Post by **Tim(e)** » Thu Apr 29, 2004 5:22 pm

My wife is Japanese... so yes.

What do you hate most about public transport?

Post by **BlueChair** » Thu Apr 29, 2004 5:25 pm

The melting pot of awful smells, which leads me to the next question:

What's worse, really bad body odour or really bad perfume?

mood swung · Post by **mood swung** » Thu Apr 29, 2004 7:32 pm

really bad body odor. Day The Scales Fell From My Eyes: sat next to a child at a school thing who had obviously not bathed in weeks. The smell permeated my clothes, and worse my nostrils--no amount of deodorizer or washing or whatever could get rid of it. This was my son's 5th grade year, 11-12 years old. I went home and cried.

However, some perfumes can be really obnoxious. I don't usually find the wearers' pitiful, tho.

If you could meet me or Oily Slick who would you pick?

(cash prize given to whoever picks me!!!)

((Not))

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Thu Apr 29, 2004 8:59 pm

I must hereby disqualify myself, as I have met you both. You twice now, Moody.

The rest of you guys just don't know what you're missing.

oily slick · Post by **oily slick** » Thu Apr 29, 2004 9:24 pm

the thread may now be dead....goody?....help...

bambooneedle · Post by **bambooneedle** » Fri Apr 30, 2004 2:16 am

If I met Oily I'd immediately challenge him in an arm wrestle.

mood swung · Post by **mood swung** » Fri Apr 30, 2004 7:11 am

he does have massive arms.

ok, dumb question--I'll try another.

what do you do for exercise? (and keep it PG-13!)

crash8_durham · Post by **crash8_durham** » Fri Apr 30, 2004 8:15 am

I play tennis, its the only thing i can do i dont hate as far as excersize.

have you ever had sex outdoors while in public ? and with a partner

wehitandrun · Post by **wehitandrun** » Fri Apr 30, 2004 9:19 am

Yes, on the steps of an elementary school at 3:00 in the am. The sessions consisted of 3 1/2 rounds.

Is exercising a daily activity for you?

bambooneedle · Post by **bambooneedle** » Sat May 01, 2004 3:33 am

At the moment I run for 30-45 minutes every other day as I'm in training for the Sydney-to-Surf run (14 kilometres, from the the centre of town to Bondi beach, many hills included) in August. Two years ago I ran it in about 66 1/2 minutes.

What's the biggest difference between you 5 years ago and now?

Gillibeanz · Post by **Gillibeanz** » Sat May 01, 2004 7:28 am

I was 5 years younger!

Name a country you have never visited and would love to and why?

pip_52 · Post by **pip_52** » Sat May 01, 2004 9:24 am

Iceland. The Travel Channel has a big influence on me at 3am . . .

Is there a book you read every year, or have read more than a handful of times?
