| About a month ago, but then I felt rain on my face, zipped up the tent door, and experienced one of the worst thunderstorms I've encountered in some time.
Would you be a hiker too?

| I would, but there aren't that many good places to hike within bus distance.
What should I use to replace a hat band?

| A very large hose clamp. It even has the advantage of being finely adjustable
Would this be the deformed leather fedora?

| It was. I took out the wire in the brim, reshaped it as best I could, and spent most of this afternoon sewing it back in. Looks pretty good now, I just need to find a decent replacement for the band.
What was the last hat you wore?

| An augastana baseball cap. I need to get a fedora though.
How confident are you?

| Fairly confident. Sometimes drifting into arrogance, but for the most part moderate.
Ever design your own piece of clothing?

Any vacation plans for August?

| Yep, I'm taking a vacation to my couch next week. Also, I just got back from New York City.
Aren't NYC cab rides better than any rollercoaster?

| Seeing as I don't like either, I'm hard-pressed to make a decision on that.
Do the little rubber/plastic feet come off your laptop/mouse? | |

| Yes, but it doesn't matter oh my home machine since my tabletop is warped. On the work machine, it doesn't matter because I get a new one about every year.
Does your mouse have feet?

| Yes, little flat plastic things to make it slide. It's an optical.
Is your mouse optical or wireless or old-fashioned plug-in and ball? | |

Didn't you know that wondering is a statement, not a question? | |

| I absolutely refuse to repeat this entire wonder statement vs question discussion (excepting only my follow on question)
Could you consider that it might be a statement functioning as a question, in the manner in which a gerund is a verb acting as a noun?

| Nope. I am too closed minded and pig-headed to view it as anything other than a statement, describing a state of query, quandary or other such inquisitive state of mind or being. Either way, a '?' is out right unacceptable as punctuation.
;P
Thanks for playing. | |

Do you deny me my right to rule this thread? | |
