Eh, what the hell.
AMA's Seem to be Back in Style, So Sure, AMA
- Thread starter ThatNickGuy
- Start date
I waited a few weeks after the last one, what's your excuse?
Or Archer, maybe? (Hey, it ain't that much of a leap! )
Probably Simon R Green. I find his novels incredibly fun, really well-paced, and some of the craziest characters and worlds.
Plus, his Nightside series was the major inspiration for Dill. So you know, I'm biased.[DOUBLEPOST=1518303335,1518303279][/DOUBLEPOST]
"You hit me! Picard never hit me!"
"I'm not Picard!"
Sisko. It's not even a contest for me.
Also, Janeway deserves at least to be put on the list. I'd put Picard over her, but she'd be a respectable third.
I don't understand this one. Is that like one of those "Would you suck a dick if it was clean?" jokes? I'm not gonna bother, then.
And he gives me a look that still chills me to this day.[DOUBLEPOST=1518317836,1518317791][/DOUBLEPOST]When you were little, what did you wanna be when you grew up?
Is there any language you want to learn?
Did you see this exchange on tumblr?

Hi Wil. Depression has been kicking my ass for the last 48 hours, with no end in sight and I don't know what to do. I showered, ate, went to yoga, but it didn't help. I've been cycling between crying incessantly for no reason, and feeling empty and useless. My chest hurts like I'm being crushed and can't take a deep breath. I don't really know why I'm messaging you. I read your blog sometimes to feel better, but it's not helping this time so I guess I figured maybe "talking" to you might help.
Wil Wheaton replied:
I am so sorry. I can relate to what you’re going through, and it sucks the most.
When this happens to me, I do my best to remember that my brain is lying to me, and that I’ve gotten through bad times like this before so I know that I can do it again.
It sounds like you’re doing the best self-care that you can, and the fact that you are doing that, even though you’re in the thick of a Super Happy Brain Club party, tells me that you are stronger than you think.
I wish I had something simple to tell you that will make the chest crushing pass faster. Please know that you are not alone, and I promise you that this will get better. Check in with me and let me know how you’re doing, okay? I’m thinking about you.

Kags gets it. It's not dirty, and it's not really meant to be answered
It's a reference to a recurring question asked during several transition tracks on the Dead Milkmen album "Metaphysical Graffiti" where the lead vocalist tells bizarre stories about his cousin Earl and Earl's family, with each story ending with the person who is the focus of that particular story asking the vocalist the question, and giving him "a look that chills me to this day."
Wrong AMA thread.
So am I really the only one here who liked Enterprise?

It got a bad rap. It wasn't UH MA ZAING but I watched it all the way through and didn't feel like my time was wasted. And that's something I couldn't say for either Voyager or DS9.
I tried it once. I found the characters incredibly dull. I heard the third and fourth seasons are great, though.
I honestly think Voyager gets a worse rap. I wouldn't put it above DS9 or TNG, but I don't think it's that bad. If I caught reruns on Space when channel surfing, I'd watch it. Usually as a background thing.

I tried to do that recently. It made me hate Jake Sisko SO much. And Keiko O'Brien.
I remember that. You decided to watch the Orville instead
Did so just last year or the year before. My opinion on it strengthened, in fact.
What's beautiful to you?
What are your go-to movie theater snacks?
Cheating a little, I'm gonna borrow from Chad
Who's beautiful to you?
What's your favorite yoga pose?
Besides DDP, do you have a favorite yoga dvd/series?
Do you like to incorporate the spiritual elements of yoga into your routine?

A pro-wrestler. Which I attempted in my early 30s and failed miserably.
No language I can think of. Maybe Arabic or Chinese, I guess. Never thought to taking any courses, though.[DOUBLEPOST=1518475978,1518475943][/DOUBLEPOST]
I don't know how to answer this.[DOUBLEPOST=1518476086][/DOUBLEPOST]
Popcorn. I can't imagine having anything else.[DOUBLEPOST=1518476225][/DOUBLEPOST]
No idea. I don't go to Korean restaurants that often.[DOUBLEPOST=1518476359][/DOUBLEPOST]
I changed depending on my mood. These days, I think Warrior 1.
I like Yoga With Adrien on YouTube. She's really funny and personable.
The spiritual side of yoga - especially meditation - is something I struggle with the most. Probably why I like DDP Yoga so much, since it doesn't have that.
I'm still waiting for an answer to my water question. That said...
What is your favorite form of potato-based food?
Does the new maple syrup grading system confuse you as much as it does me?
Does an Ariel Atom look like it would be fun?
Are you OK with heights?
How would you react to being dropped into a population where you could not understand/read/speak the language? (Russian/Greek/Korean/Iroquois)
