Ask the Person Below You

[ifihadahifi]

Once while on vacation in Mexico. It made my nose run.

Are you a touchy-feely kind of person?

[mere1975]

No, I am not really.

Did your parents kiss in front of you?

- Mere "mine always kept it to a peck, so maybe that is why I am not touchy-feely?" 1975

[Irock]

Not really, I remember they did it once because their friends goaded them into it. I had a friend in HS who said it was totally gross that her parents were always holding hands and kissing but I remember thinking it was really sweet. One of those 'grass is greener' kinda things I guess.

What's for lunch today??

i "tex-mex!" rock

[roach]

chicken and cheese sandwich at home. had tacos yesterday and it was greatness.

do you eat breakfast on a regular basis?

ro"had tacos this morning. i love tacos"ach

[ifihadahifi]

Always. I can't skip it.

When is the last time you threw up?

[katie]

during the night a few weeks ago. woke up out of a dead sleep, ran to the bathroom to puke, went back to bed. very strange.

can you go back to bed after waking up?

[roach]

if it's the middle of the night and dark, yes. if the sun is shining it's much tougher, mostly because I like being awake no days.

what would you request for your last meal?

[eebs]

One of everything from every restaurant in the world if i wanted to cheat death for a while, otherwise a loaf of fresh bread, some marmite, butter, red leicester cheese and a portion of chip shop chips. Trifle for afters.

Where's your favourite place to see fireworks?

[roach]

where ever I have a box of fireworks. except my own backyard, the cops frown when that happens. 2nd favorite would be anywhere some city/municipality/venue is going big. FC Dallas had a good display this year. eminem finished with a nice show back in June. Man, i love fireworks.

What is something that makes you happy as a kid and as an adult?

ro"FIREWORKS!"ach

[Irock]

Ice cream, cotton candy, chaos, & music. And love.
I think the things that make us happiest aren't changed that much by age. Except for the libido parts. Which are pretty major, after all.

Do you find yourself falling into that traditional pattern of becoming more conservative as you get older?

[ifihadahifi]

Not at all. I was real conservative earlier in life. So, I guess I already got it out of my system.

Can you do any tricks on a bicycle?

[mere1975]

Not really. I could kind of pop a quick wheelie when I was younger but I haven't done it in foreverrr. (I did just salvage a red and cream Schwinn cruiser from a neighbor, though. Well, Sam did. I got it from their bulk trash -- with permission -- and he put on a new chain and tire and cleaned it all up. Maybe I'll try to pop a wheelie tonight.)

All jokes aside -- do you poke holes in baked/jacket potatoes with a fork or leave it be?

- Mere "baking potatoes today" 1975

[aquaphase]

It depends on how you are cooking it.

(trivia tidbit #323453: The name "Forkers" came out of a discussion Mr. Roach and I had about cooking potatoes whilst standing out in front of the old Good Records)

Do you prefer your BBQ'd substance (be it meat or otherwise) sauced or dry?

[mere1975]

(I meant all forking jokes aside. Thank K for your forking debate those many years ago!)

I prefer a nice sauce in which to dip my BBQ'ed substance, but I also prefer the meat to be tender and flavorful enough to stand on its own.

What is the best non-meat substance to barbeque?

- Mere "can you smoke seitan or tofurkey?" 1975

[roach]

i am a fan of the grilled mushroom.

what's your favorite album right now?
