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.

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

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?

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.

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

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?

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!

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....

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?

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.

Like all wonderful food stuffs, there is such a thing as over indulgence. A holiday pineapple home would be an option, though; just as soon as I'm rich enough to afford it.

So, like, what do you do? :pac:

Worst thing you've witnessed on a night out?

What's your ideal night, in or out of the house?

jokettle

I'm on my phone, so quoting is impossible.

Plenty of things I won't admit to, and I'm not about to start now!

Too sweet.

Truth.

John McClane, Rocky, superman...do we really need 2 more?

No new films yet, must rectify it soon!

I'm a Phd student in neuroscience, have a degree in psych and plan to do clinical psych when I finish

Worst thing was seeing 3 girls squat on nassau st and pee at such an angle that it arced upwards

Ideal night is being cooked for with wine and good tv and (prepare to vomit) that's happening tonight! Boyfriend is in the kitchen as we speak, hence my sneaky internetting

So I had a few drinks before going to the cinema tonight. Movie was pretty good though not as good as hot fuzz or shaun of the dead. So I get home and feel a bit peckish before bed so decide to treat myself to a cheese sandwich. So simple, so basic and rustic yet utterly satisfying and delicious however it leaves me a little thirsty so I decide to satiate my desires with some cold delicious milk. Oh yes to make matters even worse Ms. Kettle I am drinking it straight from the carton! No cup or mug is required here, I am simply wrapping my lips around the opening, tilting my head back and enjoying every last drop of milky goodness.

So Ms. kettle, since we have established your deviant non milk appreciating behaviour what do you drink when you come home from the pun drunk and thirsty?

Also how do you view your failure in life? Do you view it as nature or enviroment? Do you believe you were just born with inferior genetics? You were missing the normal genes a real person has that let's them appreciate the delicious taste of milk? Or do you think it is one of your surroundings and upbringing and that and inadequate and irresponsible childhood has left you mentally underdeveloped and scarred from enjoying the rich full flavour of milk?

Riddle me this jokettle!

I don't get hangovers, well except that one time.

Poor psychologist, but good comedian. :pac:

If you had to describe yourself as a main course dish, what would it be? and why?

If you had the option to take your full consciousness with experiences and memories and be reborn back in time as a child again so you could redo all your life with all that you know now would you take this option? If you said yes would you still do it if it came with the condition you were reborn as a man?

Heinz or Batchelors beans?

Heinz or Chef tomato sauce?

Does it offend you as much as it offends me when people call tomato sauce simply "red sauce"?

Do you believe in the death penalty?

If you were forced into an arena and had to fight your best friend to the death (you are not allowed refuse, if you do both your extended families will be killed or something like that that forces you to fight) what non projectile weapon would be your choice of kill instrument and what song would you epically battle to the death to?

What nationalities do you dislike more than milk?

If you could kick someone up the arse like Ted did to Bishop Brenan and totally get away with it who would you kick?

If you boyfriend just down a nice refreshing glass of milk would you refuse to smooch him? if so how long would you need to wait before the milk effect wore off?

Holy Jaysus! Right....

Main course dish would be my mum's sherry and cream chicken pie, with cream and garlic potatoes and some veg on the side. It may not look like much, but it's delicious, fragrant, has layers of flavour and one long session of eating it leaves one feeling full, content and satisfied. I hope to have that effect on people

Bachelor's, because they come in those really handy microwave tubs.

Heinz ketchup! None of this vinegary chef sh!te.

The red sauce thing annoys me as much as when Dublin people say "higher it up" when they really mean "raise the volume". ugh! :mad:

Death penalty....yes, I do. Where warranted it should be sentenced.

I'd probably use a knife that looks like a really big needle. She's scared of needles so I'd scare her into submission. The song would have to be The Final Countdown, to add some Arrested Development-esqe comedy to the whole tragic affair.

I don't like the Croatians. Randy feckers.

Either cnut-bucket or b!tchface (charming nicknames for 2 people I have eradicated from my life).

As long as he didn't have a milk mustache, thus raising the possibility of me tasting milk, I'd kiss him.


As for those snails, I'd need to see evidence that snails can move quickly enough to fight to the death before choosing. My money's on the little gut, though; he's bound to be more spry that the giant. Unless, you know, he gets squished first.
