gridloreWhich really should be called 31 Questions..
1. Who is the last person you were really, furiously mad at (not irked, peeved, annoyed but REALLY MAD)?
A customer at work who held up my line for over ten minutes due to extreme asshattiness.
2. Does Boston Market's "Freshly Tossed Salad Upon Request" sound good to you?
No. It does not appeal in either a culinary or grammatical sense.
3. Does the above question make you snicker?
Not really.
4. What's your favourite cookie?
Chips Deluxe Soft and Chewy
5. Explain one of your user icons that might not be immediately obvious.
This is the symbol of the Third Imperium in Traveller. I use it, oddly enough, for Traveller-related posts.
6. What is your favourite book title? (not content - just title) Why?
Shooting Blanks: War Making That Doesn't Work
7. If you were a fruit (not a vegetable), what kind of fruit would you be?
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sylvan
8. If your life were the subject of a tragedy, what would be the theme song?
The Kinks - State of Confusion
9. What's your favourite stuffed animal?
My big white bear Roadie.
10. What's the first thing you remember?
Riding a tricycle at my preschool.
11. Do you eat breakfast every morning?
Does a can of Coke count? I try to remember to eat, but my morning routine has me in front of the computer to check the net, so chugging caffeine usually holds me until lunch.
12. Jewelry or adornment most frequently worn?
My wedding ring.
13. Do you like to spell things in alphabet soup?
I haven't had alphabet soup in nearly 30 years.
14. Do you cook? If so, name a favorite recipe. If not, tell me of a funny disaster. If you don't have one, make one up.
I don't cook. My best kitchen disaster story comes courtesy of my father, who was English. That's the disaster, an Englishman in the kitchen (There's a reason I won't eat pork roasts.)
15. Why is memory loss more apparent on a Friday afternoon? And where do the memories go?
Well, if you work Mon-Fri you're mentally exhausted by Friday. Harder for the brain to recover specific memories at that point.
As for where they go, they don't go anywhere. Like information on a hard drive, all your memories are still there, the brain has just shoved them into a corner and forgotten how to access them. The weird memory flashes I get courtesy of my epilepsy shows this. I've had crystal clear, all senses, memories just leap into my head.
16. Can you believe that *Jay London*, Mr Cro-Magnon Man, beat out Todd Glass and Ant on Last Comic Standing? The horror.
Never watched the show.
17. What advice or information would you give your younger self?
School does matter. Get on it, put up with the BS, and get your ass into West Point! Also, watch your health carefully. Try to catch the HD in Stage I.
18. How many stuffed animals do you own?
Does the word "horde" mean anything to you?
19. Morning person or night person? Why?
Evil Morning Person. The Army might have something to do with it.
20. Do you shower daily?
I try to. When I'm bored, I take showers.
21. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck were named Chuck?
42.
22. If you had to pick a marine invertebrate as a pet, what would you choose?
A couple of octopi. They're very intelligent, and watching them communicate by changing colors would be fun.
23. What was your favorite toy as a child?
The Guns of Navaronne play set. A plastic mountain with gun emplacements, an elevator, and tons of plastic Army men.
24. Can pro_jenny tie you up with pantyhose?
Am I getting paid?
25. The undeniable merits of pulp fiction. Discuss.
It was an outlet for many authors to sell material quickly, allowing them to survive while mastering their craft.
26. What's your most prized technosexual gadget?
Huh?
27. Why do we all think these surveys are so fascinating anyway?
For me, it's a mental exercise for my poor battered brain.
28. What stuff do you do on Thanksgiving?
Eat. Watch football.
29. How does your life now differ from what you thought it would be when you were in school?
Put it this way. I am not currently a Sergeant First Class in the 82nd Airborne Division.
30. Have you ever had a crush on a cartoon character?
Nope.
31. Have you ever pondered physical violence against another person with a blunt object?
I've executed physical violence against another person with a blunt object.
