Because how else are you going to know why?

Do you have any "perfect" relatives that you get compared to?

- Mere "my orthopedic surgeon-triathlete-cousin (who is 6 months younger than me, cool and handsome) got married last October and is having a baby (well, his wife is) this October, before he heads to his next residency stop at the Harvard University hospital" 1975

[Irock]

Nah, nobody perfect in my family. Uhhh.... unless it's me. Spooky.
My cousin's an academic but my family doesn't hold that as a huge accomplishment.

Have any relatives that are the grandparents' favorites despite the fact that they're complete fuck ups?

[roach]

i'm a favorite, and not a total, TOTAL fuck up

do you rely on alcohol and irony?

[eebs]

not these days....

what's the local tree line like?

[Dutch]

Mostly plentiful, even around my apartment complex. Lots of cedar and pretty much any tree that does well in Texas, all over town. A few Magnolias in the nicer neighborhoods, and there's this really awesome Live Oak downtown, under which the original lots for the land in town were auctioned way back in the day. I sometimes wonder if that's why it's Live Oak Street that finally cuts the view of the Capitol building all the way down South Congress.

I live in Austin. Hippies don't cut down trees.

Know any interesting history about your town?

[Irock]

WTF? I can't delete posts here, huh?

Ignore this one.

[Irock]

I know that my hometown was named for some famous woman who showed up and said, "what a grand prairie!"

Would you ever move back to your home town (or do you still live there)?

Ignore this one.

You should be able to click that blue "X" up there and delete. Does it not work?

[eebs]

i still live in my hometown, though i've moved away a few times - twice for university courses and once for a change of job. thought i'd only be back for 6 months but 6 years later (almost to the day) and i'm still here. think we'll be moving on soon though cos the house prices here are too expensive for first time buyers.

I got no "X," blue or otherwise. maybe it's a permissions thing? I tried to put up a screenshot but photobucket is rebelling.


EDIT: uuuhhh.... but now there's an X by this post but not the previous one. So I guess you fixed it.

"You see, most blokes will be playing at 10. You’re on 10, all the way up, all the way up...Where can you go from there? Nowhere. What we do, is if we need that extra push over the cliff...Eleven. One louder."

Is space really the place?

what's your favourite quote from spinal tap?

This is a good one!

Nigel Tufnel: "In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history, an ancient race of people... the Druids. No one knows who they were or what they were doing..."

Mainly, anything that reminds me of the tiny Stonehenge or Derek getting trapped in the pod on stage cracks me up.


Ever been to the "real" Stonehenge?

Yeah. Used to see it every day on the way to work, and would sometimes take a walk down to the field it is in during my lunch break.

Dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate?

[ree-ree]

Milk chocolate. Although I like the white chocolate Toblerone But it's hard to find
