Question game

[JackOfHearts]

I couldn't find a place to learn Kendo. And I happen to spot fencing in my college catalog and figured, "Meh, one sword is as good as another."

How did you get into ice cream?

[larkascending]

Diving board, headfirst.

Actually, quadruple wisdom tooth extraction. I don't actually have much of a sweet tooth (I swear!) but chewing gives me a headache and gets nasty bits of food stuck in my sockets, so I tried some more adventurous flavors of gelate to distract me from fake creamy way-too-heavy vanilla, and then there was the blackberry cabernet sorbet that changed my life, and all of a sudden I'm some sort of connoisseur of exotic frozen desserts.

Have you ever had POG?

[JackOfHearts]

I think I played with them back in the second grade.
*Ba doom-PISH!*

Seriously though, what is POG?

[larkascending]

Pineapple orange guava juice. I can't stand the stuff. Pineapple, love, orange, love, all three together, yuck.

How many buttloads in a buttton? What about metric?

[Josephine25]

Mmmm I don't know.



reeses or kit-kat bar?

[larkascending]

Reeses. Keep your cookies out of my chocolate!

Milky Way or Three Musketeers?

[JackOfHearts]

Three Musketeers.

Snickers or Zero?

[larkascending]

What's a Zero? I'd google it, but I don't think I'd get very far. Snickers wins by default!

Lemonade or limeade?

[JackOfHearts]

Applejuice.

The Zero

What's on your desk right now?

[larkascending]

My laptop, a legal pad, two iTunes gift cards, two empty cans of pineapple juice, my cell phone, my iPod, a several-years-old planner, two fans from my trip to Spain, a box of kleenex, scotch tape, an almost-empty water bottle, index cards, post-its, a lamp, a stuffed rabbit, my keys, a pencil sharpener, my wallet, a DVD from a skating competition I was in in 2006, a check, a rubber band, a small bag of mints, an empty small jelly bean vending machine, a roll of paper towels, an unlit candle, a piece of a clay target from when I went shooting last winter, my contacts case, an unplugged computer mouse, a camera charger, a necklace, two pins, heavy-duty silicone lubricant, two Rubik's cubes, two broken Rubik's cubes, a broken sudokube, a 1983 Rubik's World, a Rubik's 5x5x5 cube, a megaminx, and my ticket from the Vagina Monologues last April.

How many pencils are in the same room as you are right now?

[JackOfHearts]

Forty seven.


How late do you usually stay up?

[larkascending]

During the school year, I go to bed between ten and midnight and wake up between six and eight. During the summer, I go semi-nocturnal and routinely stay up until at least two, and frequently until four.

What's the least sleep you've ever gotten in a five day period?

[JackOfHearts]

five minutes.


What's the most sleep you've gotten in a five day period?

[larkascending]

Five days, four nights: 44 hours. Not coincidentally, this immediately followed the five day four night period where I got the least sleep, though my twelve hours is far less impressive than yours.

Are you left-handed or right-handed?

[JackOfHearts]

I am not left-handed.

Have you ever considered taking up piracy?

[larkascending]

My lawyer advises me not to answer that question...

Do you by any chance have six fingers on your right hand?

[JackOfHearts]

No, there's five. I just don't have a pinky.


Do you have a memorable quote from your grandmother?

[larkascending]

GET that DAMN cat outta here!
Legendary, from when my mother was a girl. Grandma hates animals, but let mom get a kitten in a moment of weakness... And apparently, regretted it.

My other grandma tried to return a cell phone because it didn't have a dial tone.

Same question.

[JackOfHearts]

Grandmother said this, "A cuisine's flavor is decided by preparation and performance. It is the same with battle."

Oh, and "CHINGADO!"
