Truth or truth game

[rahdam]

For the masses: Lethal injection is probably the least painful way.
For myself: The Firing Squad...Damnit, one way or another, I'm gonna go out with a bang! :D

How much would I have to pay you for you to wear mutton chops a la Martin Van Buren for one month? (ladies, you especially, I am dying to know)

[Synamon]

For a whole month? More than you'll earn in a lifetime.


Very important question, do you like anything on your french fries?

[Uberfuhrer]

Ketchup, where available.

What is your telephone number?
(Okay, just kidding.)

What's your favorite video game of all time?

[rahdam]

Chrono Trigger. Chrono Marle and Lucca are unbeatable.

Yours?

[MacGuffin]

Chrono Trigger. Chrono Marle and Lucca are unbeatable.

Yours?

X-Com or Alpha Centauri or Knights of the Old Republic or perhaps NFL2k5. I'm a P, as if you couldn't tell.

Would you rather mop or dust?

[OrrDavey]

Mop. I hate picking up all of the objects to dust under them. It seems like a waste of time to me.

Dark or light beer?

[Wapiti]

Dark. What is this "light" beer you speak of?

Have you ever used the restroom for the opposite gender, either accidentally or on purpose? What were the circumstances?

[Nikita]

Yes, women's room was out of order and I didn't want to wait.


Where is the most unusual place you've ever gone to the bathroom?

[Synamon]

A pit in the floor in Kenya.


Beach or mountain top for solitude?

[Nikita]

Mountain top.


Would you rather encounter a snake or a scorpion in the desert?

[Wapiti]

Snake.

Would you rather die in the desert of thirst and dehydration or in the frigid cold with hypothermia?

[rwyatt365]

Desert, for sure - cold sucks.

Would you rather eat a rat, or a worm?

[Synamon]

A worm, I'm pretty sure I've eaten some as a child anyway.


What do you daydream about?

[Marcus]

What do you daydream about?

Money, power, women... depending on my mood.

Has it already snowed where you live, (this Autumn)?

[ssrprotege]

Well, I only lived in the U.S. for few months, so I don't really know, but it snowed at the end of October.

Are you really sure of your type?

[Nikita]

Sometimes. I have a very strong "I" and an almost equal J/P balance which gives me pause, but overall I think the ENTP profile fits me better. Who knows, maybe I've just been in an extraverted place in my life.


Are you?

[Marcus]

Pretty much. It explains my life so far, I'm yet to see the future, though.

Do you feel that you have something important to do in life?

[Nikita]

In my idealistic moments, yes.


How open-minded do you believe yourself to be?

FYI

from Jung's Psychological Types:

The peculiar nature of introverted intuition, when given the priority, also produces a peculiar type of man, viz. the mystical dreamer and seer on the one hand, or the fantastical crank and artist on the other. The latter might be regarded as the normal case, since there is a general tendency of this type to confine himself to the perceptive character of intuition. As a rule, the intuitive stops at perception; perception is his principal problem, and -- in the case of a productive artist-the shaping of perception. But the crank contents himself with the intuition by which he himself is shaped and determined. Intensification of intuition naturally often results in an extraordinary aloofness of the individual from tangible reality; he may even become a complete enigma to his own immediate circle.

How open-minded do you believe yourself to be?

It depends on. I'm open minded when getting know something new. After understanding it throughly, I become close minded. I can become open minded again if my understanding contradicts reality.

What do you consider as your most important personality trait? (not in MBTI sense)

[hullolife]

My likability.

Have you imagined in depth what it would be like to be President of the United States?

[Marcus]

Have you imagined in depth what it would be like to be President of the United States?

I only fancied about being the president of the EU... but the post needs to be created first.

What was your favorite subject in high school?

[hullolife]

English and Physics

Where would you be right now if you weren't in front of a computer?

A friend's Dell.


Have you ever had a penpal? If so, from where?

[Wapiti]

No but I did write a letter once.

If you were to buy a brand new computer, what would you buy? Laptop or desktop, brand, model,.......?

[Marcus]

Paris.

What is your dream holiday destination?

[rahdam]

Aspen, or anywhere with great snowboard opportunities.

S&M: would you be the dominant or the submissive (gotta spice this thread up!)

[Nikita]

Dominant mostly.


Which would you allow to be used on you in conjunction with handcuffs: hot wax, knives, or a bull whip?

[Liason]

bull whip

Have you ever been in a situation where you participated in S&M?

[Nikita]

Nope, ironically.


Granite, marble, quartz, or formica?

[rahdam]

granite. Function over form.

What is the biggest prime number you can name from memory?

[Nikita]

113 :(

Coffee or tea?

[Nikita]

(Monday's child is fair of face...)

ick neither


What is your favorite kind of nut?

[rahdam]

LOL, I'll resist the temptation to say something foul.
Peanuts are fine.

Do you like your peanuts honey-roasted or only lightly salted?

[Nikita]

honey roasted or just plain fresh from the shell (LOL i know that was left wide open...no pun intended)


What will your Xmas tree look like, or what would it look like if you had one? (from the type of tree to the decorations)

[rahdam]

I suspect it will have more needles than ornaments.
It will, of course, be green.
It will be made of wood.
It will have polychromatic lighting.
It will have a star at the top.
(This question pains me!)

Favorite winter snowsport?

[Nikita]

(lol)

eXtreme Snowboarding.


Favorite Summer Olympics event to watch?

[rahdam]

I LOVE watching the olympics.
My favorite events are the gymnastic events.
I don't like the somewhat arbitrary nature of the scoring system, but the things that they do with their bodies are incredible. The guys appear to pull off with ease flares that would even put professional bboys to shame.

What is your favorite summer olympics event?

[Allie]

Gymnastics and swimming are my 2 tops.

What's the dumbest thing you've ever purchased?

[Nikita]

car insurance without collision coverage


Describe your shopping habits.

[tp6626]

Describe your shopping habits.
Involved. Well thought through. I have trouble weighing up all the options, and making a final choice. At least in supermarkets anyhow. Clothes shops, on the other hand, I hate. I tend to run in, grab something, and go "this'll do", and then run out again straight after paying.


You?

[Nikita]

I don't go to a store unless I need to get something. I go in, get it, pay, and leave.


What are your plans for tomorrow?

[tp6626]

I don't go to a store unless I need to get something. I go in, get it, pay, and leave.


What are your plans for tomorrow?
I took thursday and friday off work because the server went down today and I don't like being in work when I can't get anything done. It gets me stressed. So I put in for two holiday days so not to leave my boss too much out of pocket.

I'm going to the doctors to pick up my prescription, going to have a meeting with the bank manager, possibly doing some xmas shopping (unless I carry through on my 'credit crunch' excuse this year), and then I'm off back home to see my friends and family. Got to fix my parents computer, fix my new laptop I broke, go to the pub friday night, curry saturday night, sunday lunch sunday (derr!), and then back here sunday night for work monday.

(I'm never usually this busy, and I am INTJ, honest!).

How come you're on here so much?

[Nikita]

Because I get bored easily and it entertains me. Half the time I'm also working, reading, writing, making phone calls, watching a movie, talking to people in person, or organizing stuff while I'm on here.

Which is your favorite thread here, and which is your least favorite?

[tp6626]

Which is your favorite thread here, and which is your least favorite?

Not sure I have a favourite. Always go back to the photo thread, thats pretty interesting. I'm not much of a fan of most of these game threads though.

Worst ones I've seen are the ones about paedophilia and women being sluts. I don't like to see those at all.

Did you get mugged the other night?

[Nikita]

Nope, someone just yelled something crude and made a vulgar gesture. (I was only paranoid because I had my computer with me, the one thing I do not want to lose.)


Have you ever been mugged?

[tp6626]

Have you ever been mugged?
Nope. I get regularly heckled by five year olds though on my cycle route to work.

They shout things like "twatty face" at me. Which was quite original the first time, I didn't have a come back. Now I just resort to "No pubes!", but I think it's over their heads! :laugh:

Have you ever planned a mugging, or similar criminal activity?

[Nikita]

lol no - well in a college forensic psych class we were assigned to plan the perfect murder


Have you?

[tp6626]

Have you?

Only whilst day dreaming. I had one where a gang of hoodlums approached down an alley like the one in reservoir dogs, giving it some lip, and generally being confrontational. I whipped out a samarai sword, and started laughing, and they dispersed...

I think it was a dream anyway, sometimes I can't tell the difference.

Tell me about a memorable dream you had?

[Nikita]

I was driving down a random highway in America and terrorists (who had invaded America, the country had fallen) in military style jeeps and white pickup trucks were driving behind me shooting bullets at me and every other car on the road. I ducked to avoid them, felt them whip through my hair, and watched them make swiss cheese of my windshield. Then there was this dream within a dream (I think) in which I was laying in my bed taking a nap, woke up heart pounding and paralyzed and I could see my locked bedroom doorknob turning, but I couldn't scream or move. I closed my eyes and fell back asleep. Next thing I knew in the dream, I was walking through a highway underpass with a group of people. I only recognized two people in my group, both are friends of mine named Mary. They were wearing odd clown-like costumes with black and white horizontal striped stockings. Then we were walking up on a highway again and coming at us were terrorists in a white pickup truck and firing off rounds. I yelled for everyone else to run. They rolled down the grassy hillside to the underpass below. I tried to follow them but couldn't. I was rooted to the spot. I knew I had to stay and fight, I wasn't allowed to run. So I faced them defiantly and waited. Then I woke up.


What would be your weapon of choice in a post-apocalyptic world?

[tp6626]

What would be your weapon of choice in a post-apocalyptic world?
My body's a weapon. There's a film about me, you know.

Hmm...

What insights about you do you think I can gleam from your rather telling dream?

[Nikita]

No idea.


What insights have you gleaned from it?

[tp6626]

You see your life as a bit of a battle. On the outside you're outgoing and always win through hard work and persistent effort. On the inside, you're a bit paranoid, and have the odd feeling of helplessness, oppression or being silenced. You see the world as a bit of a weird story playing out before your eyes, but feel that there's someone or something watching over you and guiding you.

Or... that might not have been a dream at all, and then I really don't know what to say.

What do you think of my attempt at pseudo-science? (I hope Moriarty would be proud)!

[Nikita]

Interesting! I'd say you're pretty darned accurate, though I question the someone guiding/watching over me, it's something I do think about a lot though. And I always have at least 2 Marys in my life, if that means anything. While I frequently feel like I can conquer anything, I'd say that there are times when I question that bravado.

It was a dream. The only part that confuses me is the waking up/paralysis/doorknob part. I thought that was real at the time. I searched my apartment with a bat when I woke up just in case.

What film represents you?

[tp6626]

It was a dream. The only part that confuses me is the waking up/paralysis/doorknob part.
Sounds like anxiety over the possibility of not being able to take action against something you're a bit suspicious of. You fear seeing something bad happening, and being unable to do anything about it. Its a control issue. Not sure what about though, maybe all will become clear.

What film represents you?[/quote]
I really don't know. I quite identify with Don Corleone in the Godfather, but wouldn't say the film represents me.

What film would you say represents me? (from what you know about me on here!?).

[Synamon]

Dumb and Dumber.


Oh sorry, thought this was the Wrong Answer thread. :p

Werewolf in London. (yeah, ok, still kidding)
A Beautiful Mind.


What's your sign?

[Nikita]

tp movie: hmm for some reason Office Space comes to mind at the moment

sign: Scorpio


What film would you say represents me, based on what you know of me on here?

[tp6626]

Dumb and Dumber.Ooh you biatch... bruised my ego a bit :p!

Werewolf in London. (yeah, ok, still kidding)
A Beautiful Mind.Ok, that's made up for it. A little...


What's your sign?
Pisces, the fish. I'm not the best swimmer though.

tp movie: hmm for some reason Office Space comes to mind at the moment Don't know this one. **Disappears to imdb** Oh right, yeah I guess so, maybe. My boss is quite old though, so he won't be around for ever **rubs palms together**.

What film would you say represents me, based on what you know of me on here?

Well it'll be an action film. Probably something like Tomb Raider or something. Or maybe 'The Science of Sleep', after I've been analysing your dreamworld for you :).

And for Syn: Underworld!? Think that has dragons in it :p

[Nikita]

Well it'll be an action film. Probably something like Tomb Raider or something. Or maybe 'The Science of Sleep', after I've been analysing your dreamworld for you :).

fun!

And for Syn: Underworld!? Think that has dragons in it :p

It has vampires and lycans/werewolves. How about Dungeons and Dragons: The Movie?


What is your favorite pasttime?

[tp6626]

I've got a hanckering for skiing at the moment, but only because I only get to do it once a year. Just booked a week in France for January actually, so won't be long.

After that, I suppose its logging onto this forum and talking to you reprobates! ;)

What time is it where you are now. And what are your plans for the next hour?

[Nikita]

7:30 p.m. - Dinner might be ready within the hour, just hanging out with an uncle and my grandfather while posting in the meantime.


What time zone do you live in?

[hullolife]

Central.

What is your favorite wedding movie? I LOVE FATHER OF THE BRIDE :D

[Nikita]

War of the Roses


What is your favorite kind of humor?

[Synamon]

And for Syn: Underworld!? Think that has dragons in it :p
And Kate Beckinsale which explains why you would like it.


What time is it where you are now. And what are your plans for the next hour?
6:23 pm and I'm eating my dinner (leftover black bean chili) and surfing the forum for the next hour.

What was the last thing you watched on TV?

Should I go to bed now? (It's GMT here 1:29am).

[Nikita]

Who needs sleep? It's not like you have to work tomorrow/today!


How long does it take you to get ready for work?

[tp6626]

Who needs sleep? It's not like you have to work tomorrow/today!

How long does it take you to get ready for work?
I supposedly start at 8:30am. My alarm goes off at 7am, I have a 40 min snooze, then a 15min snooze, then I get up for 8am. Have a wash, get dressed, dash out the house, and am on the bus for 8:20am.

I get there for about 8:40am. If I miss the bus (quite often), it's 9am before I'm there, and it annoys everyone else at the office because the boss daren't pull me up on it.

What do you actually do?

[Nikita]

I'm an attorney. My role where I currently work is to interview potential clients and do all of the issue spotting in their cases. I also give them both legal and practical advice to address their problems. I manage the case files, assign other attorneys to cases, troubleshoot the problems that arise, serve as liaison to judges and the local bar association, and draft documents for the courts.


What are your biggest pet peeves?

[tp6626]

What are your biggest pet peeves?I hate it when people talk down to children or others who are younger than them.

I hate it when people dismiss others' ideas or self expression.

I hate it when people are more concerned about what others are 'getting' relative to them, and kick up a fuss about 'fairness'. (They should just get their head down and get on with their own thing, a mon avis!).

I'm going to bed. Just before I go, what are you going to say when I'm gone? (Just so I know). :thinking:

[Nikita]

A lot of stuff probably, but nothing bad about you!
(Goodnight!)

What time do you usually go to bed?

[pure potential]

I'm a nocturnal creature and stay up late frequently working, reading, MAC'n off or rocking out of some kind. However, I am working on rising with the sun in all seasons.

Where will you be tomorrow? I understand this is an INTL forum and not everyone will be recognizing tomorrow's Turkey Day of Thanks over here in the US bubble.. I'm still curious tho. :)

[Nikita]

I'll be at my uncle's house where I currently am. I'm in the U.S. and this is where we're doing Thanksgiving this year.


What is your traditional Thanksgiving dinner?

[MacGuffin]

What is your traditional Thanksgiving dinner?

Don't have one. I eat turkey normally, so eating it for T-Day is not interesting.

When it falls on my birthday, I pick the menu. Last time it was a Mexican feast. I'm thinking sushi next time.

Tomorrow we are having a Cajun one: spicy gumbo. Yum!

What is your least favorite holiday?

[Synamon]

US Thanksgiving cause I don't get to have turkey since I'm Canadian.

What are you wearing?

[rahdam]

khakis, blue button down, brown belt/dress shoes.

What are you wearing ;)

[Wapiti]

Short shorts and a t-shirt.

What are you doing tomorrow?

[pure potential]

Working and playing and EATING! I love food! Especially Turkey, gotta love Tryptophan! Granted I am an on again off again Vegetarian, turkey is still my favorite meat (other than sea-life edibles). And I'm glad that tomorrow is here, another beautiful attempt to bring friends and family together to share a meal and some connection- sweet!

What's your favorite food?! I know this one has probably been asked, but I'm hungry and thinking of turkey.. :)

If that's not a good enough question, what's your favorite thing to cook? (granted another with a high possibility of existing in this thread, pardon my ignorance)

[Nikita]

Strawberries Romanoff or Cheddar Bay Biscuits (from Red Lobster)


What's your favorite Thanksgiving food?

[pure potential]

TURKEY!! Okay, almost everything. :)

Strawberries Romanoff? I'm both fascinated and curiously attracted! Please do tell us more about this strange and exciting meal.

What is one wish for someone else you would love to grant?

[rahdam]

I would heal my roommate's Crohn's Disease.

That's a good question, I'll just pass it along to the next person.

[Nikita]

Strawberries Romanoff? I'm both fascinated and curiously attracted! Please do tell us more about this strange and exciting meal.

It consists of Strawberries (obviously, lol) topped with a sauce made from sour cream, brandy, and brown sugar. It is ridiculously delicious.


Wish I'd grant for someone else (continued from rahdam): I'd love to end all violence in the world. On a more personal note, I'd wish for my little cousin's heart to be fully developed.


If you were a terminally ill child and you were able to have a wish granted through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, what would you wish for?

[MacGuffin]

If you were a terminally ill child and you were able to have a wish granted through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, what would you wish for?

Around the world tour.

What is your biggest regret in life?

[SimplyOtter]

Probably not having been tough enough when in love.
What would you say to the lost love of your life if she/he could hear you now?

[Nikita]

The time I've wasted.

I don't have any lost loves.


If you could go back in time to an earlier point in your life, where would you go back to?

[MacGuffin]

If you could go back in time to an earlier point in your life, where would you go back to?

College.

No job, just learning? Screw engineering this time!

Oh yeah, question.

Sleep or sex?

[Synamon]

Sex first, then sleep. ;)
(I'll skip the sammich)

Favorite sandwich?

[MacGuffin]

Favorite sandwich?

Club w/ avocado.

Favorite pizza?

[SimplyOtter]

Prawns mayo !
Favourite pizza: margherita.

Do you sometimes think that real life is being out on a Friday night?

[Jgib5328]

Prawns mayo !
Favourite pizza: margherita.

Do you sometimes think that real life is being out on a Friday night?

Sometimes I think real life is being out in the world and experiencing, rather than being stuck inside of my head or work.

Do you have a love interest?

[Nikita]

Nope.


Do you have any kids? If so, how many?

[MacGuffin]

Do you have any kids? If so, how many?

Not yet.

Do you want children? If so, how many?

[Nikita]

Yes and no. If I were going to have kids, I'd want 1, 2, or 4. One might be ideal because then I could more easily show my child the world and give him or her exposure to a wide variety of cultures and mindsets. I don't ever want my child to grow up with an arrogance that begets prejudice, small mindedness, and robs him or her of a sense of humor.


How many different homes have you had? (this includes dorm rooms and any temporary living places)

[SimplyOtter]

Yes, Id love to. Don't know how many, but I'd love to have more than one.

Are you scared of death?



edit: sorry, Nikita. I had at least 8 temporary homes.

[Nikita]

Are you scared of death?

Nope.

lol no worries


What do you think happens to your "soul" when you die?

[SimplyOtter]

mmmh. watches our previous life and laughs, for example? :)

have you ever seen a ghost?

[Nikita]

Nope.


Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not?

[nihil]

No because they don't exist.

Do you believe is goats ?

[hullolife]

No because they don't exist.

Do you believe is goats ?

No, the cubs suck because they suck!

Do you prefer gold or silver jewelry?

[nihil]

I don't like jewelry, but I'd go with silver...

Would you rather be disliked or ignored ?

[Nikita]

Neither would bug me too much; both make me laugh due to the immaturity necessitated to achieve them.


What is the most unexpected thing about you?

[nihil]

I have no idea, there is nothing I can even expect from myself.

What's the biggest misconception people have of you.

[Nikita]

On the forum: That I am incapable of deep thought because I have a proclivity for humor in its varied forms, challenge the existing order and its systems, and refuse to operate with a metaphorical stick up my butt.

In real life: That I want the same things out of life that they do.


For how many people would you die?

[nihil]

It's definitely not about number, but I impulsively would for anything, I'm pretty sure.

Would you kill to save your life ?

[Nikita]

Only if the person I would have to kill was trying to kill me. I would not kill in cold blood, only in self-defense or in defense of others.


Would you (and/or have you) ever intentionally inflict(ed) physical harm upon yourself?

[nihil]

Nope, and I cannot assume what I would do in the future, but I doubt I would.

Assuming the Christian teachings were proven to be the true word of God, how would you react to it ?

[MacGuffin]

Assuming the Christian teachings were proven to be the true word of God, how would you react to it ?

That would be pretty amazing. Not sure I'd do anything different though.

Glaceau


Favorite vegetable?

I can't put it into a day. Basically childhood summers...

Do you have a caricature drawn of you? Share it?

[MacGuffin]

Favorite vegetable?

Do jalapeños count?

What was the happiest day of your life so far?

I don't have one, there's a bunch of them. I was pretty happy the day I got married though.

Do you have a caricature drawn of you? Share it?

I have one of me studying in college. It's on the wall in our guest bedroom.

Opera

How would you like to die?

[Nikita]

Screaming.


How would you like to be loved?

[hullolife]

With the whole world watching.

Did your mother breastfeed you?





hullolife added to this post, 1 minutes and 39 seconds later...

Screaming.


How would you like to be loved?

90%...but someone who could do that would also be consciously holding back 10% on purpose because they know it's what I want. Which kind of means they love me 100%...

Did your mother breast feed you? lol

[Nikita]

Nope.


What was your first word?

[MacGuffin]

What was your first word?

Pretty sure it was "momma".

Digital or analog?

[Nikita]

I don't have a preference.


What is the strangest voice mail ever left on your phone, wrong number or not?

[hullolife]

Religious.

What's on yours?

[Nikita]

I don't have a list.


What is the best concert you've ever attended?

[rahdam]

Tool, Bill Graham Civic Center, SF, CA
Jello Biafra was rockin' out with Maynard, the guy from Primus was on stage for a while, and the opening band was funny as hell.
And it was at the very end of what may be Tool's last tour ever. And the mosh pit was wicked awesome!

What's your favorite play?

[Nikita]

No Exit by Sartre and Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams


Who is your favorite architect?

[rahdam]

Frank Gehry did a nice job with the Guggenheim.
But to be frank (ahem ;)), I have always been focused on the art rather than the artist; that is, I judge each work on its own merits, and I do not usually pay attention to who created it and how it fits into the larger body of work they have created. So I apologize, my answer is one born of ignorance I suppose.

Who is your favorite architect?

[Nikita]

I do the same exact thing you do as to everything, not just architects (bands, composers, authors, etc., and I'm guessing you might do this, too). But some I like are Bart Prince, Michael Graves, and Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron. Also, the Bauhaus style intrigues me.

[INTJoe]

How do you feel about your financial future given the events of the past few months?

Well I've lost about 5 months work of salary (take home) in the market in the last year so that sort of blows goats. But it also means I had a lot to lose, which is a byproduct of saving money, and since that won't change, I'm not too worried about the market.

Being trapped.


What is the question you've wanted to ask?

[ScottH]

"WHAT DO WOMAN WANT???"

What does "trapped" mean?

[Nikita]

(lol)
It has literal and figurative meaning. The thought of being trapped in a tunnel unable to move and closed in on both sides is unnerving. Also, I don't want to be held back in life by myself or by anyone else. I don't want to work myself into a corner or lose sight of my options and the possibilities of the world.


How many times has your heart been broken, figuratively?

[ScottH]

<repressing my need to stop back-and-forth posting>

Three.

[Nikita]

It hasn't happened yet, but I like to believe that anything is possible.

no, seriously, i don't know; I'll pass the question to the next one...

[rahdam]

I would like to see the genetics of race discussed.
No one is willing to touch this topic thoroughly, but I'd wager that there are some significantly different consensus sequences for common genes among the races. This may lead to interesting, inflammatory observations.
