  Yes, here it is!  Tygravius' favorite thread again. I have summoned a whole new batch of questions, for you, my dearest of friends.

  
  1.) Pick someone from this blog. Describe them in 5 words. (Be Nice!) :)

  2.) If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose?

  3.) You can cast any actor to play you in a film about your life. Whom would you cast in the role?

  4.) If you could have personally witnessed one event in history, what would you want to have seen?

  5.) If  you were on death row, what would be your last meal?

  6.) Would you be willing to become extremely ugly physically if it meant you would live for 1,000 years at any age you chose?

  7.) What famous person do other people tell you that you most resemble?

  8.) What is the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten?

  9.) If you could bring one character to life from your favorite book, who would it be?

  10.) What dead person would you most want to be haunted by?

  1. Shannon: Barely anything about the game!
  2. Firefly of course!
  3. Nobody, my life is so boring I wouldn't want them to take that sort of hit to their career (how interesting can a movie about a guy sitting in front of a screen for 70% of his waking hours be)
  4. Creation of the universe!
  5. The most ridiculously expensive thing I can think of, just to piss off whoever is paying for it
  6. Living for 1000 years would really suck, although I wouldn't mind being ugly
  7. Nobody?
  8. I'll get back to that, can't think of anything right now
  9. Gimli
  10. Can't think of anything, pass

  1.) brilliant/funny/beautiful/insightful/talented

  2.) Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'd love to kick some serious demon butt with Buffy. She's my hero!

  3.) Carla Gugino-but then I'd feel bad for her. :P

  4.) I am going to say witness but be unable to alter, since that could open up so much more. I'll say witness the White Chapel murders. I've always had a huge interest in that mystery. Seems so amazing that he could have gotten completely away with such gory, vicious crimes right in public streets.

  5.) Bottom's Up Pizza and McDonald's french fries. MMMMMMMMMM

  6.) Psh, if I was extremely ugly then I wouldn't want to live 1000 years. Flip that zip! :P

  7.) Well, we had reservations at a restaurant and our hostess made a crack about Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Only the "Mr." she was referring to was my sister's husband.  I'd say Angelina Jolie the most.

  8.) Starts humming...slowly walks away from that one.

  9.) NO question, Roland Deschain. Although Moby Dick deserves an honorable mention. I'd get him away from Ahab!

  10.) Andy Whitfield. Sexiest ghost evs!

  I thought I said be nice, Ponty.

  LOL, you wouldn't mind being ugly. It says EXTREMELY ugly though. I'm thinking like need to wear a mask/veil...

  Ahh, but if you witnessed the creation of the universe, wouldn't you be torn apart by the violence of it? Then you could never share the secret.

  1.  Vix:  Intelligent, Historian, Nice, Verbose, Witty

  2.  Farscape (because of Chiana - plus it was an awesome show). Star Trek, comes a close second (but I wouldn't wear red).

  3.  Viggo Mortenson

  4.  Assuming  I cannot change any past events...to be able to observe (from earth) the supernovae event around 1000 yrs ago in the 'Crab nebula'.

  7.  Never been told that I resemble anyone famous.

  8.  That's tough, I've had snake, turtles, insects...

  9.  Gandolf (I almost said 'John Carter' but I couldn't take him away from Dejah - besides, he would just try to get back to mars anyways)

  10.  Alan - a friend of mine that died two years ago.  If it must be someone famous - Samuel Clemens

  4. .... there's so many things. I really can't pick just one. umm man's first steps- and I'd have a camera recorder.

  1) Alduin: mature(ish), surprisingly smart, well read, terrible education (not his fault but his governments), player, hates steam (+1)

  2) Errr, something like kabouter wesley perhaps, no-one ever dies there and I would laugh all day long.

  3) Don't really know that, the best one there is I guess.

  4) Fall of the Western-Roman Empire.

  5) Pizza, I really like pizza.

  6) Nope, 100 years at most, more would be pointless suffering in many ways.

  7) None, but I usually do get called stoner while I don't use pot.

  8) Baked locusts.

  9) Errr, can't choose, you guys pick someone for me.

  10) ? Weird question, but I would choose Hitler, I think it would be funny seeing his ghost all the time, altough people would declare me crazy for laughing all the time at a weird imaginary friend. Edit: Mussolini, or Francisco Franco, I could laugh at their fails as well. Oh, and don't forget Stalin.

  Ah, Rune, that is because it isn't just one person. It is the blog as a collective. We are BLOG, we will assimilate you.

  Ahem, lane, that could be any number of things. My Dad used to hunt anything that breathed so...let's see alligator, squirrel, turtle, crawfish...Anything you can kill and skin I've been forced to consume as a child. No wonder I'm a vegetarian now.

  Awww, sorry about your friend, Rune. :( I didn't say someone famous so you can be haunted by anyone you want. I almost said my mom but I didn't really know her and from what I heard, probably wouldn't want to.

  Ooooh, Viggo, nice choice. He's a mac.

  Nooooooo, not John Carter! He is needed to protect Barsoom! Samuel Clemens would be really cool though. He had such a sardonic wit. I was, at first thought, going to pick Abraham Lincoln for that one, then thought "mopey ghost following me around, nah..." :PP

  Dieter, we can't pick for you, that is sorta the point.

  Nice answer for #10, Bradley, I likes it!

  Hopefully the resemblance to Daniel Tosh is purely physical because that guy has some loose screws.

  Lol, thanks for the compliments, and to think that we had the best education in the world like 20 years ago ;)

  Fall of western roman empire, intresting choice... Would have liked to see Rome before it was sacked too.

  Where the hell would you get baked locusts? Were you in Africa or something? :D
