Export thread

I'm bored, all my friends are offline and I have nothing to do...So I decided to star one of these threads that were the hottest thing around for some weeks. Weeks ago.
I'm never trendy...

So, c'mon, ask on!

Ask the Silver Jelly

Where'd you get your name?

Ask the Silver Jelly

And is it somehow lubricant related?

Because it sounds lubricant related.

Before I got internet access at home, I really liked the whole idea of the "parallel personality" you could have on the internet, so I put some thought at inventing a nice one.

At first, I decided to call me "Golden Kong". Because I like Donkey Kong and I edited a picture of him to be golden and use as an avatar.

But I later decided I wanted to have a parodic name. A name that was kind of epic but terribly ridiculous at the same time. And I had just read "The silver hand" by Stephen Lawhead*. I decided I would call me "Silver Jellypie", wich would be a brave knight... with a Jelly Pie made of silver instead of a head.

But at that point, my english was kind of lacking... and I thought "Jelly" was the word for "Jelly Pie".

So I became Silver Jelly. And I've been for almost 10 years!

And I have to say that I love my nickname. It's unique and it's still a good definiton of my personality, mixing the noble concept of siver with the mundane and silly concept of jelly.

*I'm quoting from memory, it myght not be exactly like that.

If you like, I may adopt this explanation. "Well, I thought calling myself "Petroleum Jelly", but "petroleum" wasn't good enough for me. So I went with "silver".

Exotic as in african or asian cheeses, or something like that? I have never tried them.

But I do love most cheese, with a nice piece of bread or some delicious crackers!

Drunken opinion of Gaudi?
NON drunken opinion of Gaudi?


No, you can't answer both questions at the same time. ^.^

The non drunken one! (I'll probably be able to do the drunken one this weekend )

I like Some of Gaudi's work very much, with it's very particular art nouveau style, especially stuff like the "Park Guell*"... But I don't like the "Sagrada Familia**" he is so well known for very much.

I also liked to see the technical explanations on how he worked (there's a little museum in the building known as "La Pedrera***"), even if my non scientific mind had trouble understanding them

I think the Japanese lobby to have the church declare him a saint is going a little too far, though...

What is your favorite snack?

Click to expand...

Tough one, because even if I eat a lot in meals, I don't generally eat snacks... But I'd say I have a predilection for wavy chips ( or whatever these are called

).

I also love Nachos and if I can find those little salty pretzel things, I can simply go mad.

You a fan of Firefly? Girl Genius? The Tick? Freakazoid?

Click to expand...

I love the last two! I even own an imported collection of "The Tick and Arthur" comics. A whole series! But that's not that difficult, as it's a pretty short one.
Freakazoid is a part of my childhood thanks to my parent's strategy to have me learn english by having Cartoon Network at home. It was a foreign channel, and everything was in english!

I didn't get most of it, but I still found what I understood hilarious.

I've been wanting to watch Firefly since... I guess since I knew of it thanks to Pvp? Well, a lot of time.

I have never read Girl Genius, though.

I used to, but right now I don't read any.

Let's see how many webcomics I can remember I have followed: Kid Radd, Pvp online, Penny Arcade, Shortpacked!, It's Walky!, Ugly Hill (I didn't read the ending, though!), El Goonish Shive, Order of the Stick, XKCD, Questionable Content, Dinosaur Comics, Boxer Hockey, Wulfmorgenwhateveritwascalled, That's my Sonic, Sakana Yama, Queen of wands, That Kaiju Theatre thing, Vgcats, ...

I can't think of any more right now, even if I know there have been some more... and right now I don't like some of them, but I had in the past.
