alliancesjrReciprocated from the interview meme a post or two back.
From Sandra
1. You can bring any breed of dinosaur back to life. It's not just yours, but it's alive again, and thrives among the world's current lifeforms. What breed/species/general idea okay do you choose?
Procompsognathus, as they were small scavengers. I feel they'd be a good addition to forests and plains, as they'd be efficient and easy-to-maintain.
Though you'd probably see them garbagecan-diving after a while.
2. You have to eat a gallon of either tuna ice cream (Now with REAL chunks of tuna!) or drink two liters of pizza-flavored soda (Now with even CHEESIER flavor!). Pick your poison.
I'd go with the pizza-flavored soda. That at least sounds intriguing.
I actually once tasted tuna ice cream. It's...very unpleasant. D:
3. Obligatory (read: pilfered) question #1: Pick a superpower. It can't be one already suggested for you in any of your various forms or incanations. XD
Damn, I'd love Kevin Reilly's geo- and flora-kinesis.
I'd want to have some form of psionics. Telekinesis, telepathy. The temptation to do a Jedi mind trick would also be fun to fulfill.
4. Do you talk in your sleep, sleepwalk, or do any other like action in your sleep? Any interesting stories?
You'd have to ask someone who's been in the room with me while I slept. Linn and Ian? Pat and Mary? Care to field this one?
5. You get to create a new English word (or a few new words, if you'd like) which suggest two or more ideas or feelings in one. Pick one (or a few) that you think the language lacks as of yet. If you can't think of what to call the word(s), listing what qualities it is/they are meant to suggest would suffice. Examples; melancholy, bittersweet, nostalgia
I'd love "wigginsy" to be a word. Or pretty much anything else Whedon-speak.
Barring that, I'd combine the word "Abscond" with other words. Abscondariffic, perhaps.
6. You have the ability, resources, and support to create a giant statue of something which is to be seen by, like, the whole world, okay. What do you create?
I could pull a Joel Schumacher and fill Chicago with GIANT NIPPLY STATUES, but I actually wouldn't mind something promoting literacy. A statue of a beautiful woman reading a book.
WHILE NAKED OKAY.
7. Obligatory (read: ABSCONDED with) question #2: What one thing would you change about yourself?
My motivation. Or rather, my lack thereof. I'm speaking generically.
8. If your skin could be any unusual or unnatural color, what color would it be and why?
DARK GREEN. Because that's my favorite color in, like, EVER.
9. Who, in your opinion, is or was the world's funniest person?
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
active_apathy. Barring that, Richard Pryor and Lily Tomlin.
10. Tell me the "weirdest" or "funniest" thing you've ever done to an unlucky and unsuspecting neighbor, relative, or friend.
Unsuspecting? I once unscrewed the peppershaker at Crawdaddy Bayou, and a co-worker used it. Does that count?
From Mrs. Z
1)If you could be a plant... what would it be?
I would be a tree. An oak tree.
2)What is your favorite currently aired television show?
Hmm...it's a toss-up between Stargate, either iteration, or CSI. I also can't forget the Daily Show
3)What is your favorite no-longer-aired television show?
Buffy. Hands-down.
I'm also enjoying these old episodes of Cop Rock.
4)Boxers or briefs?
Briefs.
5)What is your favorite meal to cook? And why?
I make a mean egg salad sandwich. I like making them because they're easy, they taste good, and it's the first thing I learned how to make on my own.
6)You're stranded on a deserted island with a beach towel, a rubber duckie, and your Banana Splits Club membership card. What three people would you have on the island with you?
Oh ho ho! Sneaky change-up! :D
Jillian, Robin Williams, and Rachel Ray.
7)Customers_Suck or Bad_Service?
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
customers_suck, no contest. Been in retail too long to put bad_service as high on my priority list.
8)If you could move anywhere in the world to live, where would it be? Why?
Northern suburbs of Chicago. It's got a great climate, relatively low crime rate, and it's got everything I ever need close by. It's a great place to raise a family.
Barring that...probably England.
9)Could you go a full month without the Internet? That doesn't mean without a computer. Just without the internet.
I can and have, but I really would prefer not to.
10)If half a chicken laid half an egg... how many flapjacks would it take to cover a doghouse?
Forty-two
From Debbie
1. You're on a deserted island with Johnny Depp, a spool of fishing wire, a roll of scotch tape, and three books. Where's the rum?
Behind the curtain.
2. What are the books on the island with you, and why did you choose them?
Same as the answer when Melissa asked.
3. Have you ever dressed in women's clothing? (yes- why? no-why not?)
No, because I don't have the hips for it.
4. Have you ever had a near-death experience?
Nope.
5. How do they get the hole in the center of lifesavers?
They have a special breed of ants that tunnel their way through each stack.
6. If you could be a Hollywood actor, what movie would you want to star in, and who would be your onscreen kiss?
An actually good new sequel to Star Wars. Possibly set in the New Jedi Order timeline. That being said, I'd want to be Jag Fel so that I could kiss whoever played Jaina Solo.
7. How much porn is too much?
If the state is overflowing with it, that's the limit.
8. Why do hot dogs come in packages of eight and hot dog buns come in packages of ten?
Because some of the buns are always stale.
9. If a guy carries around a messenger bag, is he considered gay? What about a purse?
Nope. Sometimes you just need extra space to carry your junk around in.
10. How many licks does it REALLY take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?
Depends. Is "Tootsie Pop" a euphemism for Winona Ryder?
1. Okay, you're stuck on an island with Anne Rice, Anne of Green Gables, and Little Orphan Annie. Which three movies do you have?
Jurassic Park, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Serenity. Though they wouldn't do me any good unless I could make a DVD player out of Anne Rice's ribcage. And possibly also coconuts.
2. leik oaki,whod win btween Son-goku and Full Kyubi Naruto?!/1
omg stfu n00b u wudnt no a gud sayin if it byt u on t3h fas. my power level iz pastede on yey.
3. What is your favorite color *(OMG COP-OUT)
Forest green. Barring that, a rich, deep Emerald.
4. Which would you rather fight, a Vampire or a Werewolf?
A vampire. I could at least try to use the terrain to my advantage.
5. If you could say any one thing to any historical person, who would it be and what would you say?
"HEY LENNON! MOVE ABOUT SIX INCHES TO YOUR RIGHT."
Hopefully saving a Beatle and getting rid of a wailer in the same stroke.
6. Which race would win, the Borg, or the Yuuzhan Vong?
Oh, damn. You just had to ask a hard one, didn't you?
I don't know. They both have the suicidal drive, and the "ask no questions" mentality. The Yuuzhan Vong would probably win in the end, though.
7. If you could be any Fantasy race, which would it be and why? (no demon/angel/vampire/dragon mongels.)
I think being a kender would be fun.
8. Which is more likely to happen, the CoM being recognized and actually endorsed by Lanzer, or getting a battle system sometime this century?
The Church being recognized. Lanzer seems to have everything on his list of priorities placed above the battle system.
9. If you could have a Signature Move, what would it be, and what would you name it?
As in a fighting move? A super attack or a finishing move?
Either one would probably be a small earthquake, followed by a large thorny vine bursting out of the ground to ensnare my foe, while I unleash a flurry of melee attacks. The finishing move would probably be running the enemy through with my sword.
10. What is your favorite curse word? (stolen from Inside the Actor's studio leik whoa)
Crucio.

Date: 2006-03-31 01:56 pm (UTC)Maybe I can swap her out for the chick from Barefoot Contessa.
(no subject)
Date: 2006-03-31 06:30 am (UTC)Your real friends probably see my posts and think, "Who the hell is that girl?" Haha. I was looking through your mood icons and interests and was actually surprised by what we had in common. Even as far as living in the mighty midwest. :o You have an "Empire Records" icon, for example. :]
Anyway, for the webcomic fetish you seem to have, it might be in my best interest to start garnering fans of the upcoming
Bleh, I'm just talking. :]

Date: 2006-04-04 07:22 pm (UTC)And the Vong would most likely win, since they would stop at nothing to kill every last Borg. The Borg wouldn't be able to handle the Coralskippers, Dovin-basils, and all the other nasty goodies the Vong have at their disposaal.
(no subject)
Date: 2006-04-04 07:35 pm (UTC)Plus Borg technology is even more advanced than the Republic's.
Fighting against BorgVong would also take a huge psychological toll on the Yuuzhan Vong warriors.
The Yuuzhan Vong would win in the end, though.

Date: 2006-04-05 06:19 am (UTC)And a Borged Yammosk is the stuff of nightmares. :shudder:

Date: 2006-04-05 12:35 pm (UTC)I do believe that they would detect the gravitic fluctuations around a planet-smashing dovin basal fairly early on, anyway, and dispatch a team to investigate and assimilate it.
...actually, now that I think about it, the Vong don't stand a chance. D: Scary thought.
(no subject)
Date: 2006-04-05 08:19 pm (UTC)Although, if the fight went on long enough, the Vong Shapers could probably develop a biological counter-strategy to the Borg-ifing nanites. And I don't think their personal shields would work against non-energy weapons.
(no subject)
Date: 2006-04-05 08:27 pm (UTC)As far as Borg shields vs. melee attacks; you have to understand the way that amphistaffs work. Amphistaffs put out an energy field, which is why lightsabers do not cut them. Borg shields would quickly adapt to the bioelectric frequency and refuse to let the weapons pass through. Thud bugs and razor bugs can be targeted and destroyed mid-air. Blorash jelly can be assimilated.
And again, keep in mind that once the Borg assimilate a vongform specimen, the Collective will then know everything it knows, including secrets of weaponry.
The only way that the Yuuzhan Vong could gain an advantage is by developing something similar to species 8472, and even then, the crew of Voyager had helped the Borg overcome that obstacle.
Holy crap, I need to get out more.
