Export thread

I have been waffling. I mentioned my desire to do an AMA. It was suggested I do it in the thread game sub forum but after watching that forum for a few days I've come to realize that forum gets very little attention.

Probably because everyone blocked it!

So, ask me anything until the mods catch on and move this over to where it most likely belongs!

If you were stranded on an island and only had to choose one type, what type of artist medium would you choose and why?

Can you remember a time when you did not have children?

What's the average air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

HCGLNS : (1) I mostly work in acrylics and markers. If I was stranded on an island I would probably pick up something new to keep me occupied! Like sculpture!

(2) Vaguely! I remember being a lot unhappier though, strangely enough.

(3) African or European?

Do you (mainly) write or print when writing by hand?

What's your worst vice?

What's the best encouragement or advice you've ever received?

Chad Sexington : (1) I used to hand write. Then in high school I switched to printing when it turned out that a good majority of my teachers couldn't read hand writing! Not just mine, anyones! Then, when I went to university I found myself to poor to afford a lap top of my own so I had to take notes by hand...and I tihnk I created my own language mixing handwriting, printing and my own 'code words' with short hand. The result is a mess!

(2) I used to pick my nose obsessively. It got really bad after my mom died, like a god damn nervous tick. I managed to break it the summer before I started high school because I feared being out cast for it...also I had this fear of me stretching my nostrils out. To this day, when ever I'm anxious, my nose begins to itch.

How was that for an honest answer?

(3) This one is tough.

My Adoptive Mom told me once to make sure my bra and panties always match, just in case.

Dad told me to always be conscious of consequence when you act on something. This one is a bit hard to follow.

My Uncle told me that you didn't have to have a theme in mind when you start a painting...and to embrace your mistakes and incorporate them in the final product.

I'm sure I've received more, but I have such a large family that its hard to keep track!

How've you been?

SeraRelm I can't complain! My show has ended and I heard no offers on the paintings I've done, that made me a little sad. Other than that, things are pretty good.

How do you change the shocks on a gmc savanna extended van?

If you had four free hours and $500 you had to spend by the end of those four hours right now, what would you do?

Do you like doilies?

You've been teleported away from house and home, you find yourself in another part of the world, possibly even another universe. You are informed that you are to fight in a tournament. Contestants have been drawn from fictional realities, as well as this one. You are given a weapon of your choice, and told that if you get hit 5 times by another person's weapon (struck, cut, shot, etc...) you will go back home. If you die there, you just wake up in your home town as well, but if you are the last survivor, you get to keep your weapon, which now functions as an inter-dimensional portal creation device.

Pick a weapon:

Pick a start point in the tournament-city:

1. Do you fight, or forfeit immediately?
2. What is your strategy?
3. Fictional character you hope to run into/befriend?
4. Fictional character you want to fight?
5. Final battle. You vs. ???
6. What do you do if you win?

All I'm going to say is: You brought this on yourself LittleSin

stienman (1) You throw the first real curve ball...interesting. Honest answer: I would take it to my father...who would then promptly tell me to junk it because it is GMC...and a van.

(2) Four hours and $500.00 is no challenge for me, I'm sad to say. I would hit the down town shopping district. I'd go to my favourite stores, such as the horror punk store on Duckworth and buy that 50's stile swing dancer dress (90.00) I've had my eye on plus the matching Frankenstein decal high heel shoes (80.00), and the Bettie page bolero (50.00) in case I get cold sporting my new dress!

After that, what's a new dress with out fantastic under garments to go with it? I would head directly next door to the high end lingerie shop and have the old ladies there measure me and start bringing me fantastic bras. The one I liked the most the last time I was there was coral pink and lacey (71.00) and the matching panties were as fantastic as they could be for trying them over my existing pair (20.00).

Then to the salon! Except, this time,. I would tell the stylist to bleach the shit out of my hair then dye it red. Seriously, I want to look like the fires of hell or resting on top of my noggin. I would also get them to clean up my asymmetrical cut (100.00).

Let's see, I'm sure at 500 if we were including HST and GST...however, in this fantasy, there are no taxes!

I would then go buy the octopus choker necklace and matching earrings (30.00) at the accessory shop..and maybe the black hat with the peacock feathers (45.00).

Then I'm getting dinner, which will probably being me over but fuck it.

(3) My nan crocheted a neon green doilie for me. It's pretty awesome!

If you had the chance to tutor under one artist in history who would it be?

If you had the chance to erase one thing from history, what would it be?

Are you a screecher?

Allen who is Quiet :

Ooooo...fun!

Weapon: I have done fencing and stage combat before so I think I'll choose a one handed sword. I'd prefer it to be on the light side with a blade designed to pierce as well as cut. If we are allowed to have some kind of 'magical' augment I'm going to chose flames, my go to in an fantasy game.

Start Point: I'm not very graceful at my current weight so it would have to some place with minimum obstruction. So probably a sports field of some kind.

(1) I have nothing to loose, really. I wake up in bed either way! So, I'd give it a shot.

(2) In fantasy games a play a tank. I go in fast and strong with the hope of having things over and done with before the enemy can counter. When I played WoW it made me the bane of my guilds existence! So, I'd probably just throw caution to the wind and barrel on in.

(3) Alistair from Dragon Age. Although, if my experiences with Dragon Age are maintained, I wouldn't want to get to attached. I got him killed...a lot.

(4) Dinobot from Beast Wars. I'm not even going to elaborate on that.

(5) It would be me versus some kind of God analogy. Yeh. Just like then end of a Shin Megami Tensei game.

(6) Well, I just beat up the Almighty, I think I may do what ever I please with my new found glory.

HCGLNS : (1) This is a hard question for me to answer! If I had to choose... I would probably study under Salvador Dali. I love the surreal aspect of his work. I have a few prints hanging around the house and I swear I see something knew every time I take the time to look at them.

(2) I wouldn't. This isn't a cop out. My sister would say 'moms death'...but I think it's a cheap thing to erase, when you see where things went from there. I would be much heavier than I am if mom hasn't died because our diets back then were anything but healthy. I wouldn't have met my fantastic adoptive mom. We moved since Mom died so I probably wouldn't have met my husband or had Jet. I'd be someone different than who I am. Sure, I would have skipped the abusive years but even that gave me new insights.

I guess I get to caught up in 'the butterfly effect' to answer these kind of questions!

(3) See, I know what screech is and what being "screeched in" is...but the way you phrased that question makes me wonder if there's an alternative meaning that I'm not aware of.

What do you like more: Similes or sauna pants?

good thing this sentence doesn't contain "like" or "as" or I would have been a bit miffed.

Fuck.

/shame.

I'd like to apologize for the numerous typos I have made so far. I reading back through my answers and I am smacking myself.

So it seems you would indeed alter something in history!

Dun dun dun!

Are you ever going to publish that truth or dare Billy Mays video I dared you to create?

How long is 6 hours?

Can poutine contain peas?

LittleSin - How does it feel to be one of only two quotes to ever be put in my signature in the 7-8yrs I've been part of the community?

HCGLNS (1) I totally forgot about that video! I just did a quick search through my external and can't find it. This makes me sad because I actually broke my voice doing that impersonation. So...I guess not?

(2) There's a joke in here, I know it. It is escaping me...but I guess 6 hours is 360 minutes?

(3) Poutine is probably frnch for "toss what's left over after cooked dinner on you fries" so I guess you can!

Shegokigo : It is an honour to know the stories of my sons magical powers amuse you and you felt that excerpt signature worthy.

You know, everytime I stop and actually read it, I still laugh to myself.

Bored today and the cars in the shop.

Ask me more questions!

Your husband has died in a horrible lasagne accident. Frank the local RCMP officer suspects foul play.

Which Halforums member do you suspect of the murder?

What common household item is critical in your revenge?

Which Halforums member do you hook up with afterwards? (Cannot be Gusto)

It wouldn't be anyway. From personal experience I can tell you that women who are widowed/divorced by Millers and hesitant to get involved with other Millers.

HCGLNS (1) I would suspect...JAY! That Creepy Woody of his has been looking at us the wrong way lately. As if it has been plotting something dastardly.

(2) A broom. It has a wide swing radius and if you break it off it become pointy!

(3) I would hook up with one person a night, as I never really had a 'sleep around' stage in my life. At the end of my sexual escapades I would choose one person to focus on...whether they like it or not.

Have I ever mentioned that I'm really really into yandere?

I just had to look that up.

There was fear in every key stroke, as I did not know what would be revealed to me.

Now I am just wondering if that term is being applied to you or myself.

I figured. I just wished for clarification.

If you were to build a custom chess board using Halforums members as the various pieces, who would you assign to each piece and colour?

HCGLNS I've never played chess! This is a mark of great shame for me. I should remedy it.

For now, however, I will alter your question and choose my Fellowship for if we had to bring a ring to a certain volcano.

So, I guess the first person is me. That leaves 11 others.

Shegokigo for her willingness to harm everyone and everything.

North_Ranger for the fact that I have a mental picture of him being a gentle barbarian.

ThatNickGuy to record our adventures.

Gusto and Allen who is Quiet will be the Merry and Pippin of the group.

Jay will be our groups cynical, straight forward guy.

Dave will be the groups Gandalf...simply because I can't think of someone older.

Namesake ...to warm my bed a little. You know...my Sam.

Cajungal will be the cheerful one.

Tinwhistler I feel like I want a bard. So he will be it.

I intentionally had to untag Namesake because you can't tag more then 10 people. Who knew?

What's a Skeet?

I should have seen this coming.

A skeet is a loud, under educated person. I think the US equivalent would be a 'wigger' except it far worst. They talk with an over exaggerated out port accent and are obsessed with going down town to get loaded. They where expensive clothing/jewellery, often ill fitting/tacky, and then complain about how little money they have. They will often over exaggerate themselves to the point of absurdity and then get up in your face if you question them.

The are overly fond of social networking sites and are often obnoxious in what they post.

I could go on.

Please do!
