The Saturday 6-Pack

Trollheart · 03-01-2022, 02:44 PM

Late to my own funeral...

1. How many times have you been out of the country?

Hrair*

2. How hard do you/did you have to study for exams?

Oddly enough, I didn't study terribly hard but I always seemed to do well. I think I have/had decent recall. What was the question again?

3. What’s your favourite holiday?

Halloween

4. Ignoring science and physics totally, if you had to eliminate one planet in our solar system, which one would it be?

Uranus, so that joke would no longer make sense. It's the arsehole of nowhere anyway.

5. What’s the most famous/your favourite landmark you’ve visited or seen?

Big Ben or The Eiffel Tower I think.

6. You have a choice of only two occupations: gravedigger or working at an abattoir. Which do you choose?

Like it seems everyone else, gimme a shovel, man: I dig graves!

Now, let's all forget our troubles with a big bowl of ice cream!

1. What’s eating Gilbert Grape?

A flesh-eating virus.

2. Which way to the front?

Well, I wouldn't start from here.

3. Why always me?

Because I'm not you

4. Will you?

You will. (This is an Irish idiosyncrasy: when we ask a question - usually one we know or can expect to know the answer to - we also answer it. "Do you want a cup of tea?,You do." "Are you coming into town? You are." "Will you have another cake? You will." And so on. We're a weird people.)

5. How many times must I say it?

In that sentence? Once.

6. Who knows what tomorrow brings in a world few hearts survive?

A lot more job openings.

* Do you know your Watership Down?
the fact that cardinal numbers only go up to four, with any number above that being called hrair, "many"

1. How do you/did you get on with your parents? (If this is too personal, you can answer the alternate question).

1a. What’s the last thing you do before going to bed?

2. Who do you think there should be a statue of in your city?

3. What’s your favourite soup?

4. When were you last in an actual library?

5. What’s your typing speed? (If you don't know, take a minute to test yourself)

6. Daphne, Velma, Shaggy or Fred?

1. How do you/did you get on with your parents? (If this is too personal, you can answer the alternate question). Well, my mother is dead and my Dad is a thousand miles away so you figure it out.

1a. What’s the last thing you do before going to bed? That's very personal, Trollheart

2. Who do you think there should be a statue of in your city?
Divine

3. What’s your favourite soup? Chicken Noodle

4. When were you last in an actual library? Probably three years ago before the covid hit.

5. What’s your typing speed? (If you don't know, take a minute to test yourself) What do I look like, a secretary? I don't know, maybe 60 words a minute?

6. Daphne, Velma, Shaggy or Fred? Velma, I prefer intellectuals

So where are the important questions this week?

**Exo** · 03-05-2022, 08:25 AM

1. How many times have you been out of the country?

Four if you include my day trip to Canada when I was in Maine. That was my second time in Canada.

2. How hard do you/did you have to study for exams?

I barely ever studied. Don't confuse that with me bragging about good grades. My grades were terrible because I barely ever studied.

3. What’s your favourite holiday?

I generally hate coordinated celebration but I have always loved Thanksgiving because of the gluttony factor.

4. Ignoring science and physics totally, if you had to eliminate one planet in our solar system, which one would it be?

Neptune doesn't even do anything.

5. What’s the most famous/your favourite landmark you’ve visited or seen?

Most famous? Eiffel Tower I guess. Favorite? Carsbad Caverns. I had the closest thing to a religious experience I've ever had down there. I got emotional. The connection to the Earth was very real. I was alone most of the time besides quietly passing a few other visitors so the isolation and "one-ness" with the Earth was palpable.

6. You have a choice of only two occupations: gravedigger or working at an abattoir. Which do you choose?

Graves! Omg I would dig graves so hard.

**Frownland** · 03-05-2022, 10:34 AM

1. How do you/did you get on with your parents? (If this is too personal, you can answer the alternate question).

Shaky for a long time but we all had a bit of a wakeup call with our pettinesses when my mom got diagnosed with cancer and it's pretty good now.

1a. What’s the last thing you do before going to bed?

Drink water and brush my teef

2. Who do you think there should be a statue of in your city?

GG Allin

3. What’s your favourite soup?

Pho bo (beef pho)

4. When were you last in an actual library?

2019. I used to go pretty often to get in a different headspace for writing.

5. What’s your typing speed? (If you don't know, take a minute to test yourself)

78 according to this: https://www.livechat.com/typing-speed-test/

6. Daphne, Velma, Shaggy or Fred?

Shaggy because I know he's got the herb. He might be a brokeboy who only buys schwag though.

**Marie Monday** · 03-05-2022, 12:14 PM

1. How do you/did you get on with your parents? (If this is too personal, you can answer the alternate question).

40 WPM lol. I've never learned how to type properly and I have slow reflexes
6. Daphne, Velma, Shaggy or Fred?
Velma because I've never watched Scooby Doo but I've heard she's gay af

I had no idea who these people were until I read Marie's answer, so I don't know or care.

One of the worst cartoon series ever. And they keep recycling it too
