All New Q/A Game

cooby Oct 15 2018 12:21 PM

Does everyone remember how to play? I ask a question, someone answers and asks a new question. It's a good way to while away the offseason. I'll go first How many trees do you have in your yard?

OE: the real answer I guess is four giant SUV tires

Guitar. My fingers are... not the ideal length. When was the last time you really lost it-- verbally, physically, both-- on another human being?

Cyclone before Nathan's... Wonder Wheel after Nathan's. Innie or Outie?

Crumple. Who was your favorite superhero when you were a kid?

Llamas 4 EVA. When alpacas need protection, or to get something off a high shelf... who do you think they're calling? What's the oddest/worst thing you've ever done with your hair?

It was not my kind of kinky ;) When you cook a microwave meal, do you cut to vent once? Or more than the suggested amount?

Godsmack OE: straight up warm up unexpected band, not a double billed etc... What is the longest distance you've travelled by train?

Fman99 Oct 17 2018 07:25 PM Re: All New Q/A Game

Probably the Metro North, which goes all the way north to Poughkeepsie, and from there, all the way to its terminus at GCS. Who is the celebrity you met most recently?

Frayed Knot Oct 17 2018 07:28 PM Re: All New Q/A Game

Llamas or alpacas? Alpacas if you're roasting on a spit, but llamas if going into a stew.

Lunchpail has experienced just 12 4th of July's in his life and vomited on one third of them, including at fireworks shows in two different cities (NYC and San Francisco) and in our car once. Name a grocery store prroduct that you only buy the "name brand" of and never the store brand/alternative/challenger item.

Must have been the year I was Dr, Ben Casey. I think I was in first grade. Someone should start a vomit story thread. I'll bet we all have some. What is the status of your garden? Any frost yet?

41Forever Oct 22 2018 01:09 PM Re: All New Q/A Game

My garden, like the Mets season, is in "Wait until next year!" mode. Have you ever appeared in a uniform-centric blog cooking what appears to be a large animal with face, hooves and goodness knows what else still attached? And did you make special sauce?

Benjamin Grimm Oct 22 2018 01:12 PM Re: All New Q/A Game

He's referring to our pig roast this weekend. I guess it's a good party when it generates media coverage! Apologies to the local Cranepoolians for the late invites. And yes, we made a gravy from pan drippings, and also served just pan drippings. Also I drank a lot of beer, some bourbon, and had a bad hangover yesterday. One thing I realized is, I'm a bad party-inviter, and not as good of a friend-maker, as I ought to be. I did one "reach" invite for this thing, the guy came, and it was great that he did. I should do that more. Do you also get nervous about reaching out to people?

41Forever Oct 22 2018 01:43 PM Re: All New Q/A Game

It was fun to read that story! It took me to couple seconds to connect "Hey, Lunchbucket made one of those this week, too" and realize that it was you. Cool! I've never cooked anything larger than a turkey.

The women, on the other hand, range from neurotic, to mean, to overdramatic, to rude. They run the gamut. So I fake it with those gals. Or opt out of activities. What is your go-to ice cream flavor?

Soft navy pants, navy and gray and yellow and green LuLaroe shirt. Name a "World's Champion _____________Eating" contest you could enter. (I could never ask that on Mofo)

When you put reach out, you put yourself out there and one can't help but feel vulnerable. A big part of my work is to generate business, so I've kinda learned to block it out. Put myself out there, and if anything doesn't pan out, just roll with it. There are going to be people who say no due to circumstance, and others that just don't like you. It's part of life. I don't think I'd want to be the type of person that everyone liked. Plus with text and email it's so much easier than having to pick up the phone and actually talk to someone. I wonder what dating would be like now. I imagine it would be a lot easier than it used to be.

Rockin' Doc wrote: Besides the Mets, which MLB team do you pull for and hope to see do well? The Pirates. I rooted for them when my team left Brooklyn because there were rumors they might move to New York. The ardour intensified when they beat the MFYs in the 1960 World Series. Then the Mets were born. But I still have a soft spot in my heart for those Buccos. Baseball is your favorite sport. What's your second favorite? Later

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Oct 31 2018 10:13 PM Re: All New Q/A Game

Futbol. I like that the game is simple enough for a novice to grasp immediately, but so difficult to understand completely that even experts find it difficult to quantify the relative value of two defensive midfielders, say. But I like the international nature of the thing-- stars come from anywhere and go anywhere (the money is), national teams develop styles of play that persist for several generations of players-- most of all, I think. What's the worst advice you've gotten in recent memory? Or ever?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 31 2018 11:01 PM Re: All New Q/A Game

"move into my apartment with me." 1996. eventually resulted in good things but a very bad and impractical and emotionally torturous piece of advice for the next couple years. Q: what's your prom date been up to lately?

Lefty Specialist Nov 01 2018 09:08 AM Re: All New Q/A Game

I actually found my prom date on Linkedin (I'm not on Facebook) and turns out she's a gerontologist, which I imagine will come in quite handy some day. Was surprised at how old she looked, while I haven't aged a bit. What was the best and worst car you've ever owned?

Awesome, fun, easy-to-work-on car. Question for you - if you were to buy a completely unnecessary, ridiculously expensive vehicle, what would it be?
