Ask me three questions about anything at all. Then ask your readers to do the same, if you like.

    Heehee!

    1. Which episode of MST3K is your fave?
    2. What is your favorite cuisine (by nation, ie, Indian, Chinese, French)?
    3. When and how did you meet me? (for old time’s sake 🙂 )

      Re: Heehee!

      1. Off the top of my head, either Puma Man or The Undead

      2. I don’t really have a favorite. I don’t get to eat Thai often enough though.

      3. Seems to me you came up and talked to us at Nevermore – that’s how I met 90% of the “scene” people I know. Didn’t you meet first, or is that my imagination?

    1. Fav person?
    2. Fav sexual act?
    3. Fav political topic to talk about?

    1. avdi April 14, 2004 at 12:02

      Oy… I hate picking favorites…

      1. This one’s way to general for me to answer. Favorite person I know personally? Easy – the one I wake up next to every morning. Favorite person living or dead? Probably Robert Heinlein.

      2. Uh, all of them? 😉 There is no way I could pick a favorite here…

      3. A tie – anything to do with individual liberty, and the failure of government in general. Tha failure I seem to harp on the most is education.

        Favorite person living or dead? Probably Robert Heinlein.

    1. Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
    2. When would you like Thai for dinner?
    3. Would you please leave the Delerium cd home tomorrow, or remind me to copy it tonight? (Thanks)

      1. Istanbul

      2. Friday

      3. Yes.

      Yours are easy!

    #1. What the heck is that icon??
    #2. Favorite Heinlein book/character?
    #3. Want more kids?

    1. avdi April 14, 2004 at 16:40

      1. It’s Crow T. Robot dressed up as his alter ego “Turkey Volume Guessing Man”, from Mystery Sceince Theater 3000, episode “Riding with Death”.

      2. Mistress and Tunnel in the Sky stand out in my memory, although I’m sure I’m forgetting some great ones. Favorite character… in a pinch I’d say Jubal Harshaw, but I think if I went back over my memories for awhiel I might come up with someone else.

      3. Yes and no.

      1. book_wyrm April 14, 2004 at 16:58

        Hm. Wasn’t fond of MiaHM the first time I read it, but second, and third, and fourth changed my mind. (Same for SiaSL). Tunnel in the Sky was an awesome book. Opened my eyes to a lot of things a society is based on that I didn’t know before. Jubal was a cool cat, but I’ve always loved Lazarus. I’d be a co-wife to him in a heartbeat.

        3. Why?

        1. avdi April 15, 2004 at 11:24

          3. Why?

          I have the basic biological/egotistical urge to leave a few half-clones behind when shuffle off the coil. And in abstract, the idea of having a big family appeals to me.

          In practice however, it seems like we don’t have enough time for the kids we have already; and there’s no denying the fact that they add a great deal of stress to our lives and our marriage. Logically it seems that adding more would only exacerbate that condition.

          1. book_wyrm April 15, 2004 at 13:44

            Hm. I see your point, and I appreciate the WHYs of it, and especially the WHY NOTs.

            Hmm. I had a whole long response I just cut, because I decided I was being a shit. So, love the children you have, and make the decision that’s best for your family.

          2. darkpool April 15, 2004 at 20:43

            Once you have the first six or seven you’ll barely even notice the next several kids.

    Did you know that natural peanut butter can contain mold toxin that causes liver cancer? ( ok that’s cheating But I thought that was an interesting bit of trivia.
    Whats your favorite thing to do to waste time?
    What question do you really want people to ask?

    1. avdi April 15, 2004 at 11:40

      1. No, I did not know that.

      2. Well, what I waste time on most often is web surfing. Favorite way? Most recently Metroid Prime on Gamecube.

      3. Depends on the source. From hot, available women: “How did you get to be so sensitive, yet so devilishly attractive?”. From cute little goth bois with excellent fashion sense: “I’m going Amish and giving away all my clothes. Would you like them?”. Other than that, I can’t think of one off the top of my head…

    What is your name?
    What is your quest?
    How much can a sparrow carry?

    1. avdi April 15, 2004 at 11:42

      Sir Avdi the l337

      To Stay Awake

      African or European?

  7. __batgirl__ April 15, 2004 at 02:42

    my 3 are

    What does your username mean?

    What do you think of the theory that martian flatcats (The Rolling Stones – Heinlein) were the basis for Star Trek’s tribbles?

    Have you ever hit someone?

    1. avdi April 15, 2004 at 11:44

      Re: my 3 are

      1. It’s my honest-to-gosh, mom-given name. It’s Hebrew, and it means “My Servant”.

      2. Seems plausible enough. I think I might recall speculating as much back when I first read The Rolling Stones.

      3. Yes, once. Ask me about it privately, sometime when I’ve known you longer.

  8. gwylliongirl April 15, 2004 at 18:30

    1. What is your favorite article of clothing?
    2. What has helped you the most to break out of your shell?
    3. Where do you work?

    1. avdi April 28, 2004 at 15:14

      Sorry it took me so long.

      1. Right now, probably a skirt I have with buckles down one side.
      2. Being married.
      3. Raytheon, in Baltimore.
