20 Questions! Ask whatever to whomever.

[PrezLeefun]

Ok so this is a "getting to know you" excerise.


You can ask anybody nearly any question you'd like. No questions about real full names, or addresses, no ss #, blood types..... chit like that :lol: . Point being... be reasonable. Make sure you indicate specific people.

Anyone can choose to not answer... just put n/a for the question so it is not asked again.

So go ahead shoot. I will be the first to tell all.

[TeenageRepublican]

n/a

[TeenageRepublican]

I gotta go come up with some good ones. Evil good ones...

[PrezLeefun]

Evil good ones? Wow.


TR, what is your favorite food?

[TeenageRepublican]

I like pie.

[TeenageRepublican]

If you had to watch Rosie O' Donnell do a lap dance on you for five minutes to save your kids from being killed by her lover, would you do it? Death is not an option.

[ColonialMarine0431]

If you had to watch Rosie O' Donnell do a lap dance on you for five minutes to save your kids from being killed by her lover, would you do it? Death is not an option.

TR, you have to address the question to someone in particular.

[PrezLeefun]

If you had to watch Rosie O' Donnell do a lap dance on you for five minutes to save your kids from being killed by her lover, would you do it? Death is not an option.

I have no children. Realistic reasonable questions TR. This is getting to know you in the realm of reality.

PrezLeefun ,

If you could live anywhere, where would you want to live?

[TeenageRepublican]

Alright fine, you sucked the fun out of my evil mood tonight :(.

If you were stuck in a house for three weeks straight do to a snow storm, what single movie would you watch over and over?

Me: The Thing.

[PrezLeefun]

PrezLeefun ,

If you could live anywhere, where would you want to live?

NYC with the ability to carry a gun openly.

I love where I live. I have everything I need or could want in one place all within a reasonable distance. I also get four seasons, and get to meet lots of different kinds of people.


My second choice would be Florida because I have some family down there.

[TeenageRepublican]

Oh, the other question is to everyone who wants to answer.

[PrezLeefun]

Alright fine, you sucked the fun out of my evil mood tonight :(.

If you were stuck in a house for three weeks straight do to a snow storm, what single movie would you watch over and over?

Me: The Thing.

2004 Pride and Predjudice. Also the North and South mini-series.


EDIT: I'd never be stuck here more than one full day. Plows move quickly in NYC.

[PrezLeefun]

Lucky. I got stucky here for four days during our last blizzard. Stupid global warming.

Why Pride and Prejudice?

[ColonialMarine0431]

CM ditto that question.

If money were no problem...a 10,000 sq/ft penthouse overlooking Central Park. With a summerhome in the Hamptons too.

Like The Beresford on Central Park West. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2087/2092003325_386bb65e49.jpg

With prices starting at about $2.5 million, it's a steal.

My tastes are simple. :thumb:

Its Classic. Romance, Angst, Society, social constructs for women, social constructs for men, economy issues, love, family, comedy, and of course a happy ending.

Nope. I was sorta in a relationship with the most amazing girl last semester, but because we're both so busy with school and sports(she's in softball and I'm in tennis), we both decided it be best just to be friends.

So, that means that I'm single and looking. :)

Well, I still have yet to see her get in to a sex scandal. She isn't bisexual and she doesn't go on anti-conservative rants. That's rare for HollyWeird.

I'm single now. There's a dance tomorrow and I was about to go out with girl that was in High School but I ended up getting rejected because someone beat me to it. But she would've gone with me if she hadn't been asked out already. She's 15 and I'm 14. I'm that good. :biggrin:

[PrezLeefun]

To everyone, what is your desired profession or job?

I dont know yet. I still love Politics and Psychology. So I see a career for myself in either one of those. I am not sure what it will be yet.

I can't see myself joining army unless the draft was instituted. But because I am 50% deaf I don't know if I'd actually be accepted.

Chicken Sandwich, Hamburger, or Hot Dog?

Hamburger. Ditto that question.

[TeenageRepublican]

To everyone, what is your desired profession or job?

Mine's obvious. But if I had to choose a second job, I would do a talkradio gig. So I could rant on the air and use my twisted sense of humor to entertain myself for three hours.

Hmm, I'm gonna go with a Hamburger, when they're bad, they're terrible, when they're good THEY'RE GREAT! [ don't ask about that please ], anyway, someone start asking me 20 random questions, I'm bored.

Killing terrorists when Obama becomes president, shortly after they invade the homeland and barack's trying to give them free hugs I'm shot or I'm killed in a suicide bomb.

Saving someone I love from death.

Death doesn't really scare me. After seeing two of my family members die, I know it's a natural occurance.

[PrezLeefun]

Its not the dying... its how.

[TeenageRepublican]

Ah, I see.

[Timberwolf]

To everyone,

Has anyone wanted to join the military but couldn't, and why not?
Yes. They didn't like the way I was living my life before I sobered up. Didn't care to have a drug addicted alcoholic messin' around on a nuclear sub as an electronics technician...with delusions of becoming a SEAL. :D

Gee, go figure...but, it is one of the few regrets I have. It is also the reason I take any attack upon our military quite personally. Though I never served, I WANTED to and my heart is with everyone who has, is and will serve our country.

[Taylor1]

Death doesn't really scare me. After seeing two of my family members die, I know it's a natural occurance.

2 Things...

Did you see them die like actually watch them die?

If you were stuck in a house for three weeks straight due to a snow storm, what single movie would you watch over and over?

I don't think I could do that with any movie. The closest one would be Ronin.

To all members:
If you could date someone famous, who would you date?

Nobody. I would'nt wanna date someone famous. Too much of a hassle.

OUTSTANDING answer: very realistic!

So let's change it up: using famous people as the MODEL for someone you would want to date (personality, intelligence, looks, etc.), who appeals to you most. In other words, what clone of a famous person would you want to date?

For me, the following people come to mind. You might notice a similarity amongst them: Hedy Lamarr (50's), Lee Meriwether (60's), and Jennifer O'Neill (70's).

Not any more. Just came out of an engagement in November. I will definitely take awhile before I consider diving back into the pool.

To everyone, what is your desired profession or job?

Flying airplanes.

Chicken Sandwich, Hamburger, or Hot Dog?

Hamburger.

To All Members: If you could die doing something cool, what would that something be?

Serving God. Protecting someone.

To all members:

Laptop.

ALL MEMBERS: If you could dine with one person from the past, present, or future, who would it be?

Easy one. J.C. I would have a million questions for Him. Dinner wouldn't be nearly long enough.

My guess would also be that I would be surprised, and challenged by Him.

Here is my question to everyone: You have hit the lottery -- twice. Now you have literally hundreds of millions of dollars in cash available to you, with the taxes already paid.

What would you do with it? And what are your biggest worries?

[Longhorn_Platinum]

:moo: Back to the Future trilogy. Leading somebody to Jesus. Hamburger. Coke. Desktop.

:moo: And PrezLeeFun, I don't think directing questions to one person is working. As soon as you ask a question, a lot of people will want to answer it.

Buy a Scarab powerboat, a NYC Penthouse, a Ferrari, take an around the world cruise on the Queen Mary II in one of the top line penthouse suites. Set up trust funds for my nieces and nephews. FIND A GOOD TAX ACCOUNTANT. Invest. Give to some charities.

Biggest worries? Uncle Sam & the IRS.

[PrezLeefun]

I would buy an apartment for myself in Midtown. I would also buy a large two family home for my mother and myself in Westchester (Probably Pelham).

The IRS would be my biggest worry.

Help them in ways only a millionaire would. Help with abused animals. Hmm, I'll think of some other things but thats really what I would do.

But you could consider them a 70s act as well, since that's when they REALLY hit it big. But 80s? That's stretching things like Goatse.

Any other questions, please ask.

[mkafrica]

To everyone,

Has anyone wanted to join the military but couldn't, and why not?

Yes, but my mom got the nice little packet in the mail before I graduated high school, and we had a nice long chat... She made me promise to finish college, and get a degree before I made my final decision to sign up. Unfortunately, this meant I couldn't go on an ROTC scholarship, either... *sigh* I think she's hoping I get married and 'settle down' before then. Part of her reasoning is because I want to be in the Green Berets, like my uncle (also my namesake), when he died in 'Nam.

To all members:

Desktop or Laptop. And where are you (when at home) do you post from. Bedroom, livingroom, etc...

Laptop, hands down. I have a completely wireless home, so I could start posting from the living room, and for all you know, I'm finishing this post up from the pearly throne. (ok, so I'm actually sitting on my bed, lol)

Coke or Pepsi?

Always Coca Cola.

[BarryC]

I think you have to actually be asked a question in order to say "n/a". :confused:
n/a

[BarryC]

That's easy.
I'd give my parents at least a million. Ditto the church I grew up in, and the churches I attended for a while a few years ago, and ditto the Christian school that is run by my parents' church.

I'd pay whatever it takes to get my truck in tip-top mechanical shape. (I love my old truck and wouldn't want a new one. It's an old beast, but I love it the way it is.)

I'd buy a few classic cars (`59 Cadillac coupe, `59 Superior Cadillac landau hearse, `74 Miller-Meteor (Cadillac) Criterion ambulance just like the one I used to own, and a couple of Imperials). I'd buy a huge piece of land and have a small house built in the middle of it, just big enough for my music, movies, books and photo albums, and I'd have a garage built for the cars previously mentioned. I'd then take a trip to New York City and spend a few weeks there, photographing historic and otherwise cool buildings all over the 5 boroughs (cathedrals, churches, courthouses, skyscrapers, etc.), and all the big old bridges too. Then visit some of the great museums, and eat at the Carnegie Deli in Manhattan. Then I'd visit McSorley's Old Ale House, also in Manhattan. Then I'd visit many of the parks in all 5 boroughs, and many of the cemeteries, like Green-Wood.
I almost forgot- I'd pay off my credit cards and then pay up my car insurance in advance for a year or so, if that seemed like a good idea at the time.
Then I'd probably give lots of money to the Salvation Army, and any other organizations that are reputable.
After all that, I'd invest the rest. Then I would get a job doing something part-time that I like, whether it pays well or not.


Here is my question to everyone: You have hit the lottery -- twice. Now you have literally hundreds of millions of dollars in cash available to you, with the taxes already paid.

What would you do with it? And what are your biggest worries?

Naomi Watts. She has class and doesn't sleep around with every guy she meets. After seeing her in A Painted Veil I started to respect her a lot more.


That film was such a MOCKERY of the novel, I nearly busted a blood vessel watching the crap! :soap:

Oops. Sorry, that was not the question. http://foolstown.com/sm/shy.gif

Put enough away to secure my future (and my daughter's) - $5 million or so - and then, give the rest away to those institutions/organizations/causes I deem fit to receive it. One of the first things I'd do is set up a foundation to increase teacher pay at the Christian school my daughter attends...maybe build them a high school.

But, the vast majority of it would be given away.

Biggest worry - my daughter being kidnapped because I now have enough to pay the ransom...and then going to prison because I tortured the PoS to death for taking her in the first place.

To All Members:

What's your guilty pleasure?

Me: Musicals and Scaring Little Kids.

1980's New Wave music. I found an internet radio station called RadioIO that let's you choose from a bunch of different music styles and I usually opt for that. :thumb:

Yes. I am a nerd. :D

[ThomasMore]

I never answered that question myself.

For me, 25% would immediately go to charity. (Much of it would be carefully-screened Christian charities, but some would be outside the church.)

I would set aside enough to provide a comfortable allowance for the rest of my life and to provide for any children I may still have, but that would be a small fraction of the money we are talking about.

With most of the rest, I would try to develop businesses that would use the money to make more money (to make the windfall sustainable), and that provide valuable services and employ people. Assuming that I can make the businesses profitable (lots of people try and fail), I will take 25% of my income from the businesses to set up charitable foundations, to create ongoing blessings for those in need and service to God.

Wisely investing and using the money is my biggest concern -- it will be a full-time job. Personal security and discerning true friends from users are others. Finally, losing sight of the fact that it is not any virtue of mine, but my good fortune that has given me the responsibility, keeping pride out, would be a difficult task.

My concerns for myself aren't as important as making sure that the money is used well. It would be a powerful tool, and one that is easy to squander or misuse.

To CM and any other service person,

What was the most difficult part of your training for the military, and did you ever want to give up?

The Crucible.

No.

[PrezLeefun]

^^^^ The crucible? explain please...:) I am assuming you're not talking about the play.

LOL...The Crucible is the 54-hour straight field training exercise at the end of Boot Camp. Limited food and hardly no sleep. We're given physical and mental challenges to overcome. The final Crucible event is a ten mile march in full combat gear.

[PrezLeefun]

^^^Oh good grief. God bless you. Now I know I couldn't do that. Thanks for answering.

Maggie_T:

:unsmile: That's how I felt about The Dukes of Hazzard. Denver Pyle must be spinning in his grave, because his TV role was assigned to that talentless, pot-smoking, overaged hippie, Willie Nelson. And Johnny Knoxville doesn't come close to the Luke Duke portrayed by Tom Wopat.

[BarryC]

The only thing that movie had going for it was that the girl who played Daisy Duke, what's-her-name, was hot. They took a nice TV series and translated it to a trashy movie.

(Edit: I left out a word the first time.)

Can you explain why that was called A Painted Veil? I didn't get it, I only saw it once.

[TeenageRepublican]

I think you have to actually be asked a question in order to say "n/a". :confused:

That was the mother of all TR's future n/a's so I can refer members back.

[BarryC]

If I could date someone famous it would be Ann Coulter. But I might have to wait in line. Who knows?

If I could dine with someone from the past, present or future it would be Henry Charlton Beck. http://www2.flickr.com/photos/93957686@N00/sets/72157594326974675/
But if possible I'd rather just go back in time, and explore South Jersey with him. That would have been so much fun. I explore now, but he got to talk to people who knew people who lived in some of the ghost towns here. That's cool.

Coke or Pepsi? Pepsi, hands down, unless you're talking about the flavored versions. Then I really don't have a preference.
About Burgers vs. dogs, I have no preference there either.

A guilty pleasure? I dunno, maybe the fact that I like heavy metal, like Metallica for example.

I'll think of one later.

Here, one minute in the future so I can crash in to myself. How many people can say that they've died by crashing in to themselves (with the time machine)?

1981. State championship. I could have been somebody.

High school, current time at the appropriate age. Reason? High school girls no longer consider oral sex to be sex, but they sure did when I was in scool.

[PrezLeefun]

^^^Well I certaintly did and thus did not act in such a way.

[Neil Peart]

For me, it would be 1975, so I could attend a Led Zeppelin concert in their prime.

[buckeyepete]

October 5th, 1944, so I could piss on that doctor that slapped my ass when I was born. I remember it well, the nurses admiring me, and then, 'WHAP', right on the ass.................. I wasn't THAT ugly...........
