Questioning Things: Vol. VIII

Started by Jarred · 9 months ago

Sorry this week has been a little lame, Tropophilia-wise.  Taylor’s getting his study on for the GRE, and I… well… have no legitimate excuse.  We’ll be back in action soon.
I feel like my “questioning things” off ... Continue reading »

    1. I have a preternatural aversion to the cold but heat doesn't bother me, so spring, of course.
    2. If you were a hot dog, would you eat yourself? (Correct answer: Yes.)
    3. I'm not very good at it, but chess. Monopoly is my least favorite.

    1. My first is spring, so I'd have to say summer (followed by fall, then winter).

    2. Why did you choose ___________ for school?

    3. My favorite is Pictionary (with Scrabble as a close second), and my least favorite is Life. Anyone remember that game?

    That John McCain banner at the top of this page has got to go, dude.

    But it pays the bills, Ashish.

    Just kidding, we've made like 19 cents off ads. And we don't pick them...hence, McCainia.

    Though if a bunch of people clicked through and the McCain campaign DID have to pay us (a pitifully small amount of money), that would be ok. Maybe we could donate it to Barack.

    (side note: I'm not encouraging fraud...so help me Google).

    And, to answer Jarred's questions:

    1. My favorite seasons are spring and fall. I have trouble picking a favorite because when it's winter I can't wait for spring and when it's summer I can't wait for fall. But I think I'd have to pick fall as my favorite because I look damn good in sweaters..plus I like changing leaves in the Great Smoky Mountains. Spring is thus my second favorite because I like sunshine and thunderstorms (AT THE SAME TIME).

    2. Favorite interview question--though I've never heard it--is inspired by the office: "What is the best color?"

    The rest of the dialogue as Dwight interviews Andy is too good not to include:

    Dwight: What is the best color?

    Andy: White, because it contains all other colors.

    Dwight: Wrong. Black. It is the most dominant. How do you make a table?

    Andy: You make a chair...but you don't sit on it.

    Dwight: What is the capital of Maine?

    Andy: Capital of Maine is Montpelier, Vermont, which is near Ithica, New York, where I went to Cornell.

    Dwight: Okay, also, moratorium on Cornell talk. Don't wanna hear about it. Forget your personal history and learn the history of this company.

    Andy: Should not be a problem, I minored in history in the Ivy League school which I attended.

    3. My favorite board game as a kid was Life (suck on that, Jarred). Now I lean towards the nerd-tacular, drawn-out games like diplomacy and that game with the blocks of water, wood, clay, etc for building cities [can't remember the name, but one of you nerds will:)]. Or a good game of cards (Spades, Oh Hell, or Poker).
