I have been negligent with this tread. Oops.
What's your favorite food? Why?
I like most food, but recently I've been coming back to Beef Stroganoff. If it's done well, you've got delicious beef, filling noodles, and a heavy and potent sauce ... everything you could want in a meal.
Not sure if it classifies as my favorite, but it's the one that popped in mind when I read the question.
Who makes you laugh the most?
I've got a friend Zach, who I've been spending a lot more time with recently. In his company I generally laugh my hardest. We can talk about the heaviest topics around: personal issues, personal philosophy, god, etc. We don't always agree, but there is always an appropriate amount of levity in the situation.
Recently we've been wrestling with the idea of doing the Responsible thing, or the Awesome thing. When the awesome thing wins out (98% of the time) is when I laugh the hardest.
What movie can you watch over and over again?
Ooh, good question. Probably
The Empire Strikes Back or either of the first two
Jurassic Park movies. I could probably watch any movie many times though. I've been intending to hunt down
The Hangover to watch again, as well as
Up,
Wall-E, and when I can get them I'll be seeking out
Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs and
Tetro.
What song gets you moving the best?
As in ... dancing? After the recent thread, I've been listening to a bit of Lady Gaga, but truthfully, the songs that get me moving the best are the ones that kind of sneak in there. Something that starts slow and heavy, but then picks up and gets charged as it goes on. "I Will Posses Your Heart" is the one I'm thinking of right now. By the end of it all, I'm feeling ready to get up and just
RUN somewhere.
Listen, I don't know how it works over there in Europe, but the last time I tried that I got kicked out of the Zoo.
don't you know you're riding with the king?
I know nothing of this song (googled your text). I will have to listen to it soon. Maybe I know it but just don't remember it. Music is funny like that sometimes.
Will the ancient queen of the winds come back to murder the lord of the stars?
So it is written. Thus it shall be. Amen.
Mr. King,
You've been holding out on us. Why, sir? Why?
Sincerely,
Jealous in the USA
I don't understand how that's even allowed, to be honest. Screeching in is something that generally happens when someone visits Newfoundland, although I guess I can see why one would make an exception for Conan O'Brien. That said, I know they have made exceptions for when someone marries a Newfoundlander elsewhere.
It's kind of like a hazing ritual, so it's never something I've had to do myself. It's for come-from-away's. Once you are "Screeched In" you're basically an honorary Newfoundlander. It's funny. If you told a Newfoundlander that you were an honorary Newfoundlander, they would understand exactly what happened.
I actually haven't had screech yet myself. But I'm working on it. I only even had alcohol for the first time a few months ago, so ...
That said, come to Newfoundland. Here are my favorite two Tourism Newfoundland commercial of all time:
This one always gives me chills:
And this one gets me so damn excited:
I'm happy you're so proud of your heritage.
