HI!!
how many spoons are you made of?
I think seven. Seven is a good number of spoons. It has alliteration and c'mon, who *wouldn't* want seven spoons.
whats your favorite smell?
My favourite smell is not something they like mentioned round these parts >.>
Second favourite smell was the smell of my guitar/guitar case when i first bought it though
do you like to boogie?
The rumours of my dancing skills have been greatly exaggerated. But yes, i have been known too "boo-gie". I have gotten down, on numerous occasions. Requires good choons though, if i hear some massive attack i have a tendancy to break out the groove :pac:
whats your middle name?
John
what colour are your socks?
Black. All of my socks are black, this way i never worry about mismatching :pac:Deleted User wrote: »Favourite album?
Phwoar, now that's a question. I'd have a hard time picking a single favourite, it changes depending on mood and time etc. but the following are consistently up there..
The Wall, Dark Side, Animals - Pink Floyd
Ok Computer, The Bends - Radiohead
Electric Ladyland - Hendrix
Zeppelin IV - zeppelin
Beautiful Freak - Eels
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins
Sorry, that was a terribly vague answer
reallyrose wrote: »All Along the Watchtower by Dylan or Hendrix?
Hendrix. Dylan's version just doesn't have the same effect, it's too dreary, it feels like a review of some lyrics set to music. but for AATW, Jimi just reaches out, grabs you, screams in your face and makes you feel every note in that solo. It's an amazing track
What kind of badger?
I saw a badger out here in bogland for the first time in years a few weeks back, running clumsily on the road, caught in our headlights. I think mine would be a regular Irish badger, they are such adorably uncoordinated little individuals. They're supposedly aggressive and territorials, but they just look like funny little balls of fluff wobbling on tiny legs!
Do you ever feel as if your spoon is too big?
Dont get fat and sassy with me, Rose!!
Are you and Randy the same person?
yes.
And we are both 27 year old brazilian swim-wear models.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
A kid again
Nah, iunno. Some job where i can work 3 days a week and afford rent, food and a few pints every now and then, and leave with me lots of free time. Possibly contract programing work from home
Ever fancied a Noc? (apart from Randy)
Ha, does anyone answer that question truthfully :pac:
Well, we all know about me and Randy.
Hey Randy
Describe your ideal sammich!
Sandwich. Saaaaaaandwich. Sand witch.
Roast beef with gravy and mayonnaiseHow did you come up with your username?
It's sadly not as exciting as many of the names around here!
Had to get an email account when i was 11, so i could register on online gaming sites and pwn n00bz. Couldn't think of any names that weren't taken, and eventually my brother just came up with the least likely yet memorable name he could think of. Badgerwithaspoon. I shortened it for forums and other places with small char limits
Just realized i haven't actually hit the 1 char minimum length.

Aye, i'm notoriously shy about such thing in person tbh
Do you own any pants at all?
I own a pants
Do you have a favourite Eels track?
Has any book or movie ever made you cry?
I actually dont think so, i am a ball of steely numbness ;_;
I always had the urge to strangle Road Runner repeatedly. What's your view on him?
meep meep :pac:
I cant say i have very strong views on road runner either way tbhIn an argument between Colonel Gaddafi and a can of pitted prunes, which one would you think would win and why?
Pitted prunes are a strong laxative, i think this might work in their favour.
Why won't county councils allow planning permission for houses made of marzipan?
...
Do you steal any items from your place of work?
I've nicked lots of computer gear from skips in trinity, but that stuff was in a bin destined for the dump anyway. i feel no immorality over this
Is global warming a complete scam?
Nothing is ever a complete anything. I'm sure there are many merits to the global warming theory, no doubt over or under exaggerated depending on which side of the fence you lie in the debate.
....yes :pac:
what are you studying in college?
Computer science. Third year. 1s and 0s and little lights in plastic boxes
what countries have you travelled to?
Austria, tunisia, switzerland, scotland
what country that you haven't been to would you most like to visit?
New Zealand
Sadly incredibly cost-prohibitive, but i'm thinking about taking a year to work, save some cash and head over for a few months. It sounds like an amazing country!reallyrose wrote: »Have you ever been so far even as decided to use go want to look more like?

A silver Mt. Zion
Jimi Hendrix
Pink floyd
Radiohead
Led Zeppelin
To name 5, although there's sooooo many others i would rate just as highly as those. not enough time/space!
Name a song you wish you'd written?
Aaaaaah, so many!
Comfortably numb - Pink Floyd
God Bless Our Dead Marines - A Silver Mt. Zion
both of these spring to mind
Monopoly or The Game of Life?
Monopoly and all its associated rage and malice :pac:
Favourite childhood toy/game?
Lego
Are you ferocious like a badger?
I'm about as ferocious as a bag of crisps dear.
What's your favourite type of dinosaur?
Brontasaur. C'mon, how cool would it be to look down at all the other dinosaurs, running around frantically, while you plod along lazily eating leaves
What do you think of this whole lark of taking a bestselling novel/series and turning it into a movie? Are there any of these movies that you think are better than the novels?
I hate it, in general. Mass media has a wonderful way of exploiting every ounce of creativity it can get its hands on, to squeeze out the last few cents. If the movie justifies itself, then grand. But if its just another bank account for the franchise then it's missing the point entirely.
If you could earn a living working 3 days a week in a morally ambiguous job for a lot of money or working 5 days a week for a job that would somehow make a difference/help people but for very little money which job would you choose?
5 days a week, definitely.

Hmmmm. Mags does have the whole martial arts thing going on. And BaconZombie does have the boots.
Ultimately, i'm pretty sure Few would turn up late after everyone had killed each other and win by default
Have you ever been in a fight and if so,who won?
Nah, not really. In any case, unless i was fighting a blind cripple, i'm pretty sure i wouldn't have much of a chance :pac:
1 celebrity,1 night,who?
Shirley Manson, when she was younger.
Just hope she wouldn't **** in my cornflakes...
Can you understand more than 50% of what Tuddle says?
I live 7 miles deep in the backarse of Kilkenny. Tuddle talks in RP compared to us rustic mountain folk :pac:
Best night out you have ever had?
Boards beers that ended up in BOFH's is definitely up there.Deleted User wrote: »Favourite book?
Hmmmm, possibly Joe Haldemann's "The Forever War".
With an honourable mention to "Catch 22"
and a dishonourable mention to M. Morris Mano's "Digital logic design"...Why do gorillas scratch themselves off trees?
Sometimes trees get lonely
Which is more important - breakfast or dinner?
Dinner, definitely. Can survive a day without breakfast, without dinner is more difficult
Does product placement in tv shows annoy you?
Like you wouldn't believe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfHuZ5qrYX4
cybernetic arm or leg?
Arm.
I would arm-wrestle at every possible opportunity :pac:
last movie you saw in the cinema, and was it any good?
Haven't been to the cinema in yonks, can't even remember what i would've last seen. May have been transformers 2. At any rate, films these days nearly always disappoint me.
do you play any musicial instruments?
Guitar (electric, acoustic, spanish classical), piano, bass, banjo (a li'l), harmonica and drums (neither when sober...)
if you could live on any other planet in the solar system, what planet would you choose and why?
Venus
Think of all the chicks!Kiss a Noc...
Hey Darrah
If you travelled back in time would you murder and young Hitler to save the future millions?
Nnnnngh, tough. Iunno. Killing Hitler wouldn't solve the problems that led to WW2!!
Favourite childhood cartoon?
Angry beavers ^_^
I can't remember where you fall in the milk and pineapple on pizza fence? remind me.
Milk *and* pineapple on pizza?! :eek:
Surely you are joking, Mr. Feynman!
If you had to trade lives with a Noc in a hilarious escapade plot out of a cheesy movie which Noc would it be and would you touch yourself in your new body?
Jokettle. I would put on her lab coat, and run around trinity, throwing test-tubes at all the lecturers and administrative staff who i dislike, with no fear of (personal) recrimination :pac:
Then i'd probably relabel everything in her lab to "poo"
If you could have any super power what would you choose? If another Noc got super powers and became your arch nemesis who would they be and what powers would they have?
The power....
OF DANCE! :eek:
My nemeseseses would be trowelled and emo, leading to some kind of climactic and incredibly cheesy dance-off.
Marvel or DC?
Neither. Never been a comic reader :P
Daddy or chips?
Daddy, as he a provider of chips
Favourite food to eat at 3:14 am after a night out boozing?
Kebab leftovers, while trowelled throws things at me :pac:
Is there a certain style/look that you find instantly attractive in the opposite sex? (or same sex we are all open minded here!)
Baggy jeans, t-shirt, no makeup.22
Trek, Wars or Gate?
Trek and Wars, never a gate fan!

Catch 22 is quite amazing! It's been years since i read it, tempted to read through it again now. Yossarian, obviously, but Milo after him. Seemingly so blissfully unaware
Loved the scene where they're going through the small town where Milo is the mayor, as he explains how the whole enterprise works. Haven't seen the movie, would like to though!
One song?...
This totally happened btw. You were fine until you started eating, then you just turned bat****! They must've slipped meth in your kebab :P0 -

Otis Driftwood wrote: »Have you any heroes?
Che Guevara comes to mind. Ever since reading The Motorcyle Diaries (oh! should've thought to put that on my favorite books list actually)
Also, Hendrix, Rachmaninoff and Daniel Johnston.
Have you any phobias?
Yes, anything organizational and important. I cant fill out forms, or especially use locks/alarms/doors in stressful times without getting quite nervous and panicky
Also, somewhat disproportional fear of mental illness
If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life,what would it be?
Almost famous
Love that film so very much
Do you like horror movies?
Yes, but not silly horror movies. Silence of the Lambs is en excellent example of my kinda horror film. It's not just instant gratification with people getting hacked to bits without explanation, or people running through woods to try scare the **** out of you. It has a storyline about events which when portrayed scare the **** out of you! Story comes first, a film shouldn't set out to be scary, as then it either seems unconvincing or overdone.
If the answer to the above is yes,who is the ultimate horror movie villain?
Unsurprisingly, Hannibal Lector

Heh heh heh
Pocket mouse :cool:
Do you watch anime ever?
If so, do the constant flashbacks and close ups of people being surprised bother you?
Rarely, tbh. The whole cheesy, over done aspect doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. The flashbacks, close-ups and other silly anime cliches usually just irritate me too much to actually enjoy most anime.
That said, there's some exceptions. Some of the studio Ghibli stuff for example. And in particular "5cm Per Second". If you haven't watched it yet, do . Amazing.
What is your favorite cheese?
Was thinking about this last night over some cashel blue ^_^
Roquefort is pretty good, likewise good stilton. Some nice chevre, brie or camembert too. Hard to pick a favorite, depends on mood too much. Generally if it's blue, stink or runny i'll eat it :pac:
Is it hard to find organic chicken when eating out?
I just normally dont order it, cant be assed quizzing the waiters on their poultry ethics and probably still couldn't be certain that its as organic as suggested. Doesn't matter though, it has given me a reason to try other stuff on the menu that i wouldn't have previously! I used to always order chicken out of convenience, which becomes a rather boring unadventurous habitcyberwolf77 wrote: »Did I live up to your expectations upon meeting me?
In a way, yes. I dont think you were what i expected from reading your posts, but having met you, i could picture where your posts were coming from!
Pretty sure i've been the same with nearly ever Noc i've met. Usually not quite what i expect them to be like in real life, but having met them i see the personality behind the posts and it all makes more sense.
Knife, axe or crossbow?
Knife is a classic. Also, knives look distinctly prettier than axes or crossbows
Werewolves or vampires?
Vampires, although as goes without saying, not ****en sparkly ****ers >.<
What is your earliest nerd memory?
Playing marathon on an old school Macintosh when i was 6/7
It was all downhill from there for Kieran's social skills, fitness and academic results ^_^
#include <stdio>
int main( )
{
printf("hello, world");
return 0;

Can you cook? what is your signature dish?
Somewhat, yes
Signature dish, probably lentils in all their forms. I make a meeeaaaaan lentil shepherds pie. Likewise, lentil and veg stir fry.
....This, of course, is because of the health benefits of lentils and my views on the vegan debate. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that lentils are dirt cheap and hence very student friendly
>.>
Why doesn't Rose love me?
Your knowledge of birds is insufficient. You must posses at least level 25 ornithology before you can acquire the skill Rose_Affection.
Favourite tipple?
I have been known to drink the occasional guinness (>.>), even if it does seem to be giving me ****ing wicked hangovers of late >.<
Also, white russians and gin/tonics (especially with bombay sapphire).
And Porterhouse BrainBleasta ^_^ that stuff's ****en meeeaaaan
Top 3 pet peeves?
Ignorance and greed are the first two that come to mind. Cant deal with ignorant people, cant stand greedy people (in all their forms, financial, academic etc. etc.)
3rd is the general combination of all my OCDish little hates, chief among them being pedestrians who walk slow. THE FOOTPATHS ARE FOR THE LIVING ;_;
Have you got or will you ever get a tattoo?
Have never, possibly will never but iunno. If i did it'd have to be something really tasteful, the kind of tattoo i'd be happy to have regardless of what age i am.
Possibly Daniel Johnston lyrics: "It's new to me, but just the same, the earth is an old canvas painted over many times" done tastefully
If I told you that you had a beautiful body would you take off your pants and dance for me?
If i took my pants off, it would be impossible to stuff fivers in my belt
Did you ever finish that cigar?
Right down to the butt, mother****er :pac:
He was good too. Have been tempted to pick up a couple next time i come into some spare mulah
Do you think one day I will over do the slagging of Boom being a child and she will stuff play-doh up my nose and suffocate me dead?
Well she wont suffocate you alive, kiddo :pac:
If you rose up as El Presidente of your own sovereign nation what would you call it and what would the flag be?
$DROP_TABLE$land. The flag would be me and Jesus highfiving while punching a bear.

I sadly do not, although having a badger as a pet would be amazing, not to mention the possibilities for a sitcom. That said, i cant imagine they are the most domestically friendly animals and i dont think i'd have the heart to try keep one in captivity
Do you shuffle everyday?
Everyday i'm shuf-a-lin'!!!
....Except on weekends and bank holidays.
You can contact my shuffle office anytime from 9.30am to 5pm
Can I mention how I love your laugh?
Yes. Yes you may. The spoon abides :cool:
But only if you harbour no ill feelings for me completely forgetting who you were, in a rather drunken manner at the last beers
Cuppa tea or Pint of guinness??
Well right now, cup of tea as i'm in the midst of a temporary Never_Drinnking_Again crisis >.< god, the pain...
But in general, i'd always go for the pint I dislike this view in our society that having a pint is antisocial degeneracy. A wee guinness with lunch or after a hard day is lovely ^_^
Scumbags or D4heads and why??
Bah, hate both, so very much. Would rather spend as little time as possible with either.
Couldn't really choose, kinda depends what kinda skang/D4 they are. Much as i hate D4s, i'd probably take them over aggressive scumbags. If scumbags in question were benevolent, then i'd probably choose them.
Can you knit me a jumper??
Well i cant knit but I can assemble you some kind of garment from fabric, yes. I'm not promising it'll be functional, or appear to be in anyway like a jumper or any other item of clothing. But it will contain fabric and can be worn (in some sense) on your person :pac:
Probably for the best if i can't knit. Otherwise you'd get a jumper covered in knitted swear words and ascii dicksreallyrose wrote: »If you're knitting her a jumper, I want one too. ? (I added a question mark, so it's a question now)
Nnnnngh, i guessss. But yours will have extra swear words and ascii dicks. Possibly with arrows pointing from said swear words towards your head, so as not to leave any ambiguity of meaning.
What is your favorite programming language?
Oh! Ok, this is interesting!!
I haven't gotten enough of a chance to get into a lot of languages in serious depth. But i do like C++ which alot of people find weird. It's nasty and hackish in places, but it doesn't hide important aspects like pointers and typing behind silly wrappers. I dont like programming languages that try to provide too many shortcuts for the programmer, especially if they slow down run-time or compilation speed. Also, i like to know exactly what i'm doing with each line, because when something goes wrong and **** hits the fan, to comforting to see where each line corresponds to machine code.
Erlang is pretty pimp too, although i've had little chance to play with it
Have you ever noticed that you have a tongue in your mouth?
Also, did you know that you are breathing right now? Iiiin and out.
Also, do you have an itch on your shoulder?
Evil. Was playing incredibly hungover chess this morning with a friend, and he mentioned both the tongue and breathing thing to try and distract and irritate irritable hungover Kieran. Hungover Kieran was not impressed in his dazed and confused state.
And i do in fact have an itch on my shoulder, ****en insect bite, I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY ROSE ;_;
Trololololol?
;;lk0 -
How do you feel about agressiveness? Or extreme baldiness?
These are both things which we simply cannot tolerate in society
Ever fart at work? (or college)
Frequently!
Would you blame someone else for your fart?
If i could get away with it, yes :pac:
Would you like to get a massage from someone of the same sex as yourself?
No, oddly enough such things actually creep me out no end
