  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,509 ✭✭✭✭randylonghorn


    RIGHT

    1.What was your college degree?
    History and English, originally.
    2. Do you exist?
    In all alternate universes in which you exist, yes.

    Our bond is strong!!
    3. Come to a beers ya bollix(?) :p
    Not if you're gonna call me names!!1! :(

    /cries
    4. Ah now, do you actually really exist? :pac:
    For all values of X between zero and infinity, yes.
    5. Taste in music? :)
    Pretty open-minded, but keep house and techno and such out of my ears ... anything which is basically computer noise though a loudspeaker, in fact.
    6. How did you first come to find tNf?
    I think I may have posted in the Forum Request thread for it, though I couldn't swear to it.
    7. Where do ye hail from originally?
    Very originally, West Kerry. Was hauled around the place a lot as a youngster though.

    Yep, I like most animals really. I'd probably prefer dogs to cats as a general rule, but I've known some cats who were such characters that they transcended that baseline.
    lil'bug wrote: »

    Hmmm ... that kind of bluey-green sea colour, I guess.

    Normally spirits, but it can vary a bit depending on circumstances.

    I love good whisky, but would normally only go that direction if I was on a civilised outing and not going to be having more than one or two.

    If it was going to be a long night, prob. bacardi and coke, I find it very forgiving.
    koth wrote: »

    Greece, or the Greek Islands to be specific.
    koth wrote: »

    All of them! :o

    Specifically, probably Italy, which strangely enough I haven't hit yet.
    koth wrote: »

    Speak them, no, not at this stage.

    I used to have quite good Spanish, but it's gone incredibly rusty through lack of use. I can still puzzle my way though written Spanish if I have a bit of time, but speaking it is beyond me at this stage. When lolly was around, we used to mutter at one another in Spanish the odd time just to make the rest of ye feel paranoid!! :P :D

    And like most people I have a few words of Gaeilge, but it's extremely bacach!

    Jabba the Hut? >_>

    I really haven't a clue tbh, I'm pretty celebrity-phobic, the development of the cult of the celebrity is one thing that kind of annoys me about advances in modern communication / media technologies.
    Kojak wrote: »

    Only in the sense that I believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster ... if the theory that everything you could ever imagine exists somewhere in a parallel universe holds true, then somewhere it exists!
    Kojak wrote: »

    I had a moustache briefly in my late teens ... it was a mistake!

    I've never had a beard per se, though I do occasionally flaunt some facial scruff when I'm just too lazy to shave! :pac:

    Treat others as you would like to be treated.

    Try to finish each day having done somebody a bit of good, no matter how small.

    Life is too serious to be taken seriously.

    Keep your powder dry and your weapon wet! :cool:

    Greek islands; an archaeological / historical site to explore in the morning; sea, sun, sand, swimming and a bit of scenery in the afternoon; a nice dinner and a stroll in the cool evening air; a few drinks and a few laughs with friends.
    LZ5by5 wrote: »

    Oh, hell, I wish I knew, LZ!

    Easy enough with the younger ones ... go to college, get your degree, do a postgrad, ride out the storm and hope to hell it will have passed by the time you have that much done!

    For those who have already gotten to that stage, it's a hell of a lot less clear.

    To be open to anything, I suppose, even to going abroad for a couple of years if circumstances allow.

    I wasn't under the affluence of incohol, but I was probably pretty sleep deprived all right!

    The first pair which match (kind of!).

    Not a sweet eater, really; biscuits: anything with *real* chocolate.
    Sharrow wrote: »
    What song to you find yourself singing/humming and when you catch yourself wince?
    Oh lord, that happens me so often!

    I went to a school which was very heavily into music (though I can't sing a note myself) and they did a musical every year. Many of the songs from those re-emerge from my subconscious at odd times, and I go around singing the Gaudeamus or Drink! Drink! Drink! or Gortnamona out of tune and off-key. On one occasion I was cheerfully cooking dinner to the strains of I'm Just a Girl Who Can't Say No! to the amusement of my visitors ... >.<
    Sharrow wrote: »
    What talent do you wish you had?
    To actually be able to sing / play an instrument. Myself and my mother were the only two non-musical people in an extended family of musicians and singers, and it's something I would love to be able to do.
    Sharrow wrote: »

    No idea, but hopefully it will not be immediately after two late nights of drinking homemade cocktails, and I will be at least semi-awake.

    In fairness, they weren't bad at all, that was the problem.
    1. Who's your greatest hero in life (apart from me, of course. Need to give others a chance)
    You? ... hero? ... yeah, right.

    Kind of like Andrew Wells was a hero in Buffy! :P

    Not sure I have one hero, really, but people I would admire include Martin Luther King, Hélder Câmara, Rosa Parks, Paulo Freire ...
    2. Have your tits healed yet?
    You'll have crushed gingernuts when I get you! :p
    3. For someone that could rattle off history like you were there on the day (In most cases i'd argue you probably were :pac:), you've awful trouble remembering a few small facts about every car I ever happen to see. Is it getting harder to teach the old dog new tricks? :p
    History is interesting, and has much to teach us about to-day and how not to make the same mistakes all over again in every generation ... if we were only willing to learn.

    You're the carosexual, not me! :p

    While I like sexeh cars and enjoy motorsports, I don't

    noyphh.jpg

    about them the way you do!!
    4. Most painful experience ever (listening to me doesn't count for this one)
    Damn, that means I'll have to think about it! >.<

    Looking at you? :D

    /ducks
    5. Boardsie you'd most like to spend a day with
    Kerist, in the middle of the bs you ask the odd good question.

    The first answer that comes to mind is too painful, and springs from regret that I never got round to fulfilling a promise which I made lightly and with never a thought that the time to keep it would be limited.

    So I'm going to go with TarA, on the basis that the two of us ganging up on you would be some bloody laugh! :P
    6. Will you ever stop bobbing your head like an epileptic racoon having a seizure when I've music on in the car?
    Nope, it aggravates you waaaaay too much! :D
    7. Do you find it ironic that you keep getting paid less for work, and keep getting more modships tossed at you as well?
    The first is the wonders of modern Ireland; as to the second, I guess it's down to my inability to say no.

    Except to you ofc, but then I've been practising saying no to you for years! :pac:
    8. Do you want a flashlight for your birthday? :p
    No, thanks all the same, I have no need of one ...

    ... I see better in the dark than in bright light! :cool:

    I *don't* own a copy, it was just resting in my account on my bookshelves.

    The actual owners are challengemaster and his (much) better half! :p

    I'm not sure whether they were just really really stuck for something to watch, or whether someone had told CM that someone in a film actually had the same hairstyle as him ... >_>

    When I registered first there were a few people thought I was a re-reg. because I remembered threads from years before! :D

    I remember originally hearing someone talking in Galway uni over coffee one day about this site John Breslin and a few others had started and how it seemed to be taking off; whether I went looking or whether someone linked me to it at some stage I can't remember (probably the second).

    Dingle - Ventry - Slea Head - Dún Chaoin - back by the Maum Clasach to Ventry - Dingle. About ... 21 / 22 miles I suppose?

    Or Galway - Dublin on a sponsored bedpush, but that took a week. Actually, when I think of it, we probably did higher daily mileage on that, we would have to have done, really.

    Hmmm ... tonight anyway, I'm in the mood for Babylon 5.

    Who is your favourite actor/actress and why?
    I'm really terrible at having favourites, but I'll go for Ian McKellan / Judi Dench, because they actually can act as opposed to trading on their looks as so many current so-called actors / actresses do.

    Favourite kind of cheese?
    Well, lookee who wandered by! :p:D

    I haven't met many I didn't like, apart from the ultra-strong like stilton.

    At the moment there's an applewood smoked cheddar which I tend to pick up when I see it, can't remember the brand name though, and there's none left in the house. Very nice with good brown bread.

    Mmmm cheese....

    Will you come to a cheese factory with me?

    Will you come to a beers anytime soon so I can make you dance?

    Is there a song that never fails to bring a smile to your face?

    What's your favourite thing about living where you live?

    If money were no object, what kind of house would you live in and what sort of stuff would be in it?

    You're reasonably well travelled it seems, what's your best and worst memory of a trip (be it abroad or within Ireland)?

    Tayto or King?

    Coke or Pepsi?

    Daddy or chips?

    If that is indeed your true and earnest wish, trowelista, I shall certainly take it under advisement.

    You're not helping your case, you know!

    At least prior to this you were trying to woo me with promises of exotic cocktails! :p

    When we were in college, one of the lads in the house played guitar and was well able to sing. He was also about 6' 2", built like the rugby player he was. However, with just the right amount of pints in him, he could be induced to sing the following song in a falsetto voice with much over-dramatisation of expression and actions.



    Alternatively, adolescent that I am and shall probably always remain, this one tends to make me grin:



    And, indeed, on that front, Stephen Lynch can usually have me chuckling:



    Disclaimer: the latter two are NSFW and those blessed with especially delicate sensibilities.

    This, I know, does not include you, trowelled! ;)

    It's in the hands of the gods, cyber.

    Unfortunately, which gods exactly have yet to be determined.

    The fact that it's so central (when I'm actually there!).

    Oooh! Interesting one!

    Old. I love old houses with lots of character and history and nooks and crannies and twists and turns. Admittedly, they can be hard to heat, but if you get a well-built one they can surprise you. Plus you did say money was no object ...

    Stone. A stone house, stone outbuildings, preferably a big walled garden. Because you can bet your living daylights that there will be dogs (and probably cats and lord knows what other kind of animal rescued from somewhere!).

    Inside, wood, lots of wood and stone. Lots of books. A decent (Mac :p) computer. Enough bedrooms tucked away to have plenty of visitors. A kitchen which takes the absolute minimum of cleaning. An open fire in the living room at least.

    (Actually, can haz someone to clean it too?! :o)

    Best ... probably Crete. Went out with a big gang of mad archaeologists and assorted friends, did all the sites, endeavoured to drown the Minoan civilisation all over again at night*, excavated various people out of various bars at 6 in the morning, ended up being invited to a local wedding which went on for a week (well, it seemed to anyway, admittedly that may have been partly the results of the metaxa!) ... well, you get the picture ...

    Worst was a work one ... being stuck at Dublin airport for an 11 p.m. flight that eventually took off at 7 in the morning, being bundled into a car on arriving in -10 C. temperatures and driven for four hours, getting about an hour to sleep and then shower and off to talk to a lot of people who didn't speak English very well (and by that time neither did I!), and so it continued. For one reason or another it really didn't improve much for the three days. I was never more glad to get on a plane to come home!

    Why do they steralise needles of lethal injections?

    Why does Donald Duck wear a shirt but no pants?

    Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?

    If all the world's a stage, where does the audience sit?

    Why is abbreviate such a long word?
