Ask the Person Below You

How would you put a smile on hifi's face?

[katie]

i would cook him a really yummy vegan dinner.

what are your plans for this evening?

[ifihadahifi]

I'm probably writing Katie a letter asking what it would take to get a really yummy vegan dinner.

What was Katie doing this past Monday at noon when I called her while standing outside of the Spiral Diner? (And why does the SpiDi have to be closed on Monday?!)

[katie]

katie was at work! and katie gets shitty cell phone reception at work. also, katie has gone to spiral diner on monday more times than she can count. it's always such a bummer. in those situations, refer to cosmic cafe or kalachandji's.

do you know anyone who refers to himself/herself in the third person?

[Irock]

Not regularly.

John Waters: yea or nay?

[mere1975]

Can I skip yea and nay and go right to meh?

What food do you miss from childhood?

- Mere "my grandmother's 'plotzkies' - Polish crepes filled with applesauce and topped with granulated (not powdered) sugar" 1975

[ifihadahifi]

My granny's biscuits and gravy. But regardless, those biscuits and gravy wouldn't be the same without her singing "I come to the garden alone" as she works in the kitchen.

Who do you miss?

hi-and he walks with meeee...-fi

[Irock]

My cousin Jerin. My work mom Nancy.

Did you know that mother's day in the UK is in March? What's up with that?

[James]

Yeah, gets me every time. I have to buy a Mother's card in March and keep it until May. Crazy.

Do you prefer the even or odd years?

Ja"odd, usually"mes

[Irock]

I think I have to say even. I never gave it any thougth before, but I was born, graduated, got married, bought a house all in even numbered years... and so far all those things are working out pretty well for me.

I brought a microwave into the office from home. Think I should put it in my cube where people will sometimes bug me or should I put it in the emprty cube at the end of the row where just anyone can use it?

It may or may not be relevant that my building KILLS microwaves; there have been at least 5 broken this year in the break room, with no explaination.

[roach]

keep it in your cube. put a "tips are appreciated" jar next to it.

ever put foil in a microwave on purpose?

[katie]

no. please do not do that in our new microwave. thanks.

what's the last appliance you bought?

[Irock]

A microwave / venthood! It allowed us to get a huge microwave off the counter and a clunky stained vent hood out of my kitchen, at the same time allowing for a fancy new backsplash (is it still called a backsplash if it's behind the cooktop, not the sink?).

I'm super happy about it.


What's the next appliance you'd like to replace?

i "stupid damn dishwasher" rock

[roach]

stupid damned dishwasher. yup, gotta get a new katie! ZING! but really, we need a new dishwasher.

have you replaced a toilet before?

ro"I hear it's easy"ach

[Irock]

No but my friend Roobie replaced two & he said it was easy. But that you have to pay attention & make sure you buy one with the handle on the correct side. Which he said is the side nearest to the sink?

Seen Black Swan yet?
