If two macaws had to fight off 5 budgies, who would win, and how would it go down?

Southern Comfort and mixer (this counts as one item)

The Count of Monte Cristo; it's so feckin long that by the time I finish it I'd need to start it again. Longest book ever.

Mangos. I like mangos.

Something shiny to keep me distracted from the fact that I'm stranded on a desert island, like a disco ball. Or glitter.

A hairbrush. The sand plays devil with my 'do.

Nice and specific there, Few!

I think a parrot would step in, brew them all a nice pot of tea and they would all calmly resolve their differences. Maybe they'd even swap numbers and get together for cocktails sometime.

Better than your thighs, apparently.

Lol! That comment is just crying out to be explained! xD

Origin of your nickname, jo? I'm sure you told us before, but I've forgotten.:o

Maguined

Do you think your dislike for milk is based upon some childhood traumatic event you have blocked out but subconsciously express through your irrational dislike towards the white stuff? I mean did you find your mother having an affair with the local milk man which forever tainted the happiness of your family and resulting maturation into adulthood permeated by such hatred of the white stuff so strong you cannot express it openly enough. Is this why you chose a career path revolving around the scanning and analysis of the human mind? Are you forever searching the depths of the subconscious mind so one day you can awaken your repressed memories and admit you do not hate milk at all but just hate that terrible memory you buried deep down all those years ago?

Or are you really just a weirdo that doesn't like milk?

Adam has weak thighs. That's all

My best friend and I call each other pot and kettle; I'm Pot, but when I was signing up here JoPot sounded a bit too much like Pol Pot for my liking, so I took Jokettle instead

I used to love milk, then my taste buds matured and I realised it's ****. This happened around about the same time we stopped getting Monaghan milk. That was damn good milk.

Lyons all the way. There's a box of it here in my office, beside the emergency vodka.

I loved that DVD!

Honest answer; a cyst that kind of looked like a blob with a happy face in it. I could see two dots and a curved line; it was smiling at me! It was benign, so it was allowed to smile

FewFew

Would you/have you ever sky-dived?

Would you pet a tarantula?

Have you ever tried to dance the Tarantella?

Favourite type of dog?

Do you play video games?

Do you read comics/graphic novels?

Do you play any sports?

If you could have one superpower?

Does any food refered to as "hawaiian" instantly become better due to certain additions?

1. Haven't, would consider it for charity as long as I was firmly strapped to an experienced diver! (Take your mind out of the gutter.)
2. I'd pet a tarantula with a very heavy encyclopaedia.
3. Red setters or sheepdogs Love big dogs.
4. I rock Super Mario Kart. That counts, right?
5. Nope;detective novels and psych thrillers for me.
6. Used to play a lot of tennis; now I run and occasionally do pilates.
7. Read people's minds. It would make this whole psych thing so much easier!

Only when it comes to the alphabet. Sesame Street instilled too much pride in this hallmark of our society for me to allow such errors to go unnoticed!

Favourite Sesame Street celeb guest star?

If not musical, fave musical guest star and musical number?

Does that count as musical?

How do you like your steak?
Doneness -
Sides -
Sauces -
Other stuff -

Also, do you like mousse? (Still trying to find the jokettle milk line)

And would you eat grapes on a pizza? How about grapefruit? Or mangos?
HUH?!!!!

Steak: Medium, with chips and onion rings (maybe some veg if I'm feeling healthy), and either Jack Daniels glaze from TGI Friday or my own special secret whiskey sauce. Glass of red wine.

Mousse in chocolate form is good.

Why would I put any of these things on a pizza when I can put pineapple on it instead? Delicious, juicy pineapple....

If you won one million euro what is the first thing you would buy?

If you could live in any country which would you pick ?

A brain model; I've wanted one for ages! I'll buy myself one after I get my PhD if the whole lottery thing doesn't work out

I think Canada; it'd be a great place for me given my future career, and I love the accent

Just realised I ignored two questions from Few! Sincere apologies.

I'm not even sure how that would go; show me at the next beers?

Few. Come on. Pineapple makes everything better. You know this.

Really??

1) a car breaks down. does the owner ring for a mechanic or a pineapple?
2) a bomb explodes. do you take cover behind a rock or a pineapple?
3) you are going skydiving. do you pack a parachute or a pineapple?
4) you are buying furniture. do you offer to pay using money or pineapples?

:p:p:p:p:p:p

Alright there, Captain Pernickity! I maintain that the consumption of a pineapple at all of these scenarios would put a brighter spin on things.

1) car breaks down. Have a pineapple to cheer self up, maintain energy levels and pass the time until the AA shows up.
2) bomb explodes. Eat pineapple to recover from shock.
3) eat pineapple while skydiving. Great photo opportunity. Could be the new Extreme Ironing; Extreme Pineapple Eating.
4) buy furniture. Eat pineapple while sitting on/at/near new furniture (but use a plate so as not to damage furniture).

So there.
