Occasionally air guitar. I'm musically inept.

What was the first webcomic you read?

by **Anonymously Famous** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 3:06 pm UTC

Ever? I don't remember. Whatever it was, I don't read it any more.

What is your favorite web comic?

by **Simmons4477** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 7:56 pm UTC

First off why was my question blown off?
To answer the question I have to say Xkcd and Cyanide and Happyness as Xkcd is educated humor while CaH is just funny.

But what is your favorite meme (or funny Internet thing that is popular)?

by **Anonymously Famous** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 10:10 pm UTC

I didn't mean to blow it off. I really have no song that I consider a "favorite." Pachelbel's Canon in D is one I like to play sometimes, if I've been watching Star Trek, I'll often find myself whistling the theme song, I liked the strings in the background of Cold Play's "Viva la Vida", etc. No one true favorite, though.

Now, on to your other question: My favorite meme would have to be the Zero Wing "All Your Base" stuff. I know that it's old, but I work in translation, so funny translation blunders will always have a place in my heart.

Coke, Pepsi or other? If other, please specify.

Depends on how much I'm planning on having.

Favourite mash-up artist?

by **Sean Quixote** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 11:23 pm UTC

Not really into that kind of thing. My experience/knowledge of "mash-ups" is limited to that album Jay-Z and Linkin Park did, and a really old, vague, memory of a "band" that IIRC was called the Legion of Doom...

I love music though, and it's been a while since I've really checked out anything new. Care to make a suggestion?

by **Gypped** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 1:07 am UTC

Goldfish. It's an South African band that's a mix of... electronic and jazz? Plus their music videos are awesome (ex: http://vimeo.com/24002628)

Have you ever been or are you currently depressed?

by **Sean Quixote** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 1:19 am UTC

Yes, and hell yes. I also like to think of it as "being awake."

Thanks for the music suggestion, btw!

What is your favorite number? And why? (Or if you don't have one, why the hell not?

)

by **xX17GHDUDE17Xx** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 1:50 am UTC

17... Not entirely sure why.

Simmons, I think your post wasn't appearing at all yesterday when Anonymously Famous answered mine. Weirdness.

Since I've already asked about college football, which NFL team will win the Super Bowl? (Or just answer a random question you feel like answering if you don't care about pro football.)

by **Adacore** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 3:21 am UTC

I still feel like the Packers should repeat, but I'm nowhere near as confident on that now. They need to get the defense in shape - it's just vanished this season, after being awesome last year. If not the Packers then... hmm... the Texans have been looking pretty good.

I suspect Simmons fell victim to the first-post moderator approval rule, or something.

What's the weirdest rule you've ever seen on an online forum?

by **voicedotter** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 5:05 am UTC

No double posting. It is weird if you use one of the forums I use.

Have you seen the new Facebook layout? Do you like it? If not are you gonna move to G+?

by **PhoenixEnigma** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 5:20 am UTC

Yes, No, Did so a while ago, in order.

What's the last thing you do at night before you fall asleep?

by **voicedotter** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 5:26 am UTC

finished a cup of water.

Hows life been?

by **xX17GHDUDE17Xx** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 1:31 pm UTC

Pretty okay. I got to stop going to college because of some 'paperwork error' on important financial documents that was the school's fault, and now I get to bag groceries until January! Hooray!

What's the most frustrating thing that's ever happened to you?

by **Gypped** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:09 am UTC

Because it's fresh on my mind, it would have to be how poorly my students did on their first exam.

What's the worst grade you've ever received on an exam that you've taken?

by **Adacore** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:19 am UTC

I can't actually remember. I mean, I'm sure there were silly class quizzes in school where I got zero because I was deliberately not trying, but if you mean an actual exam, where the result matters for something real? I think it was probably somewhere around 30%, on second year thermodynamics at University (not as terrible in the UK, where the pass mark for Uni exams is 40%, as it would be in the US, where the pass mark is, as I understand it, normally somewhere around 80%). I really should've done some revision for that.

What's the most inspiring thing you've read in the last week?

by **e^iπ+1=0** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 3:42 am UTC

http://www.themorningnews.org/article/pax-primer

(By the way: really? 40%? That seems very low. And my experience in the US (in high school, not uni) is that below 60% is failing, with a gray zone between 60% and 70%.)

Have you ever been to a con?

by **xX17GHDUDE17Xx** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 5:38 am UTC

Don't have a clue what a 'con' is, so I'm guessing no.

What helps you get to sleep?

by **voicedotter** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 9:30 pm UTC

by **xX17GHDUDE17Xx** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 1:10 am UTC

Really loud noises

Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?

Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

by **Sean Quixote** » Thu Nov 17, 2011 4:22 am UTC

Because I'm sexy like that.

What's your favorite thing in the whole wide world?

food?

Why do you like food?

by **Amie** » Fri Nov 18, 2011 10:43 am UTC

Because food is made up of beef and bacon.

Is talking to a plant stupid?

by **Anonymously Famous** » Fri Nov 18, 2011 10:22 pm UTC

Only if you expect the plant to talk back.

When's the last time you had to reinstall Windows?

by **voicedotter** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 6:08 am UTC

never.

Have you used openSUSE?

Any big plans for Thanksgiving?

by **voicedotter** » Mon Nov 21, 2011 3:54 am UTC

Not celebrated here.

What holidays do you not support?

by **Anonymously Famous** » Mon Nov 21, 2011 4:51 am UTC

I'll support any holiday that gets me out of work.

I celebrate major US-recognized holidays, along with a few odd ones like Talk Like a Pirate Day, Pie Day and Doughnut Day.

Favorite sport?

by **Amie** » Mon Nov 21, 2011 8:53 am UTC

Football.

Conlangs YAY or NAY?

by **Anonymously Famous** » Mon Nov 21, 2011 2:50 pm UTC

Nay. I'm all for the natural development of language.

Is that Football as in American Football or Football as in Soccer?

by **Amie** » Mon Nov 21, 2011 4:18 pm UTC

Football as in Association Football which is in fact, proper football. "Soccer" is a lame word for it.

by **Anonymously Famous** » Mon Nov 21, 2011 6:29 pm UTC

I was just going for clarification and understanding.

Android or iPhone?

by **voicedotter** » Mon Nov 21, 2011 7:33 pm UTC

android.

Iphone or android?

by **Anonymously Famous** » Mon Nov 21, 2011 8:55 pm UTC

Definitely Android.

Python or Perl?

by **xkcd follower** » Wed Nov 23, 2011 8:53 pm UTC

Perl mainly.

Doctor Who or South Park?

by **Sean Quixote** » Wed Nov 23, 2011 9:10 pm UTC

Lol, seems like a strange comparison, but whatever. South Park definitely, more so because of South Park being awesome than the fact that I've never watched Dr. Who...

Ancient aliens, yay or nay?

by **voicedotter** » Wed Nov 23, 2011 10:36 pm UTC

depends on type. Usually yay.

steampunk. yay or nay?

by **Anonymously Famous** » Thu Nov 24, 2011 1:50 am UTC

Nay.

I'd go with Dr. Who before.

Samus or Mega Man?

Who is online
