Ask the Person Below You

[Irock]

No, I had to wiki it; I was disappointed to find that it wasn't about migrant farm workers, because I think that could be a realy cool documentary project.

Do you still get stuff in your Christmas stocking?

[mere1975]

No, I don't think I get anything in my stocking anymore. The last years that I did, it was very practical stuff like a box of tissues, Bactine, Q-tips, toothpaste, a travel umbrella -- Santa shopped at Walgreens.

Is there a gift you are super excited to give someone this year?

- Mere "kind of phoned it in for everyone but my nieces and nephews (sorry Sam)" 1975

P.S.
Teenage Missouri cousins were just talking about being addicted to American Pickers last weekend. I want to check it out!

[sam]

I guess I phoned it in altogether. One thing I know will get some use, though.

Matchbox or Hot Wheels?

(have I asked this before?)

[eebs]

Matchbox!

What's the weather like right now where you are? (rain and fog here)

[roach]

what's for lunch?

[ifihadahifi]

A black bean patty sammich from Which Wich.

Have you ever whittled anything of significance?

[katie]

when i was a kid, yeah. i made clothespins and dolls and stuff. my grandpa used to do some whittling, he showed me some stuff. today, i'm more aware of my clumsiness and would like to keep all my digits, so i stick to knives in the kitchen and nowhere else.

how long can you spend with your parents without getting the urge to claw your eyes out?

ka"it's been almost a week and i'm starting to go wildly stir crazy; however, i'm so sick i can't even dream about leaving"tie

[Irock]

Oh, I'm good with mom and dad for about a week. Throw grandma in the mix, though, and we're talking 36 hours MAX.

What was the last thing you saw in a museum?

[ifihadahifi]

The EXIT through the gift store.

Strawberry or Orange soda?

[roach]

orange!

fanta or welch's?

[mere1975]

Welch's. (Grew up on Shasta in NJ/CT though.)

Birch beer, ginger beer, root beer or beer beer?

- Mere "could go for a birch beer right now" 1975

[ifihadahifi]

Funny you should ask. I just bought tons of "natural" sodas for New Year's Day. I haven't had a soda in over a year now and I'm binging for one day only and then I'm giving it up for another year. I'm also giving up the alkie for a year except for two particular days.
So, to answer your question... I'm really looking forward to root beer right now.

Banana, Strawberry or Chocolate Moon Pie?

(My kids had their first moon pies several weeks ago. They hated it.)

[katie]

moon pie, hands down. i hate pie. it's disgusting.

what's your least favorite traditional holiday food?

[Irock]

Actually, since you mention it? Cheap store-bought pie. I don't like pie either, and I've realized that the reason I don't like pie is that I ate so many shitty pecan and pumpkin pies at various Thanksgiving events. Good pie is good, but I usually avoid it because all pie has been tainted for me.

Team Cake!!!

Whats your favorite type of cake?

[katie]

ice cream cake. mmm.

how's your holiday treating you?

ka"mine was good til the stomach bug kept me in mass... now i'm just homesick for dallas"tie
