I'm trying to reach 1000 posts today

[catbert836]

So ask me questions, unless you don't want to help me, of course.
Welll....? I'm waiting.

[Lavender Brown]

1. What's Erie, PA like?

[catbert836]

3. Snowy

Very, very, very snowy. But some people like the snow. I'm cool with that, but I prefer to stay indoors.

[catbert836]

19. How do you know I live in Erie?

That's unfair.

[Lavender Brown]

23. I'm psychic!

And I read your DU profile!

[catbert836]

29. Oh. well, that works too.

Dreary, dreary Erie... The land where you learn not to expect that the forecast will be correct.

[catbert836]

2. Self deleted

n/t

[AwakeAtLast]

[cruadin]

5. Tell us about your last dream. n/t

[catbert836]

8. I had one last night

it was something about Ralph Nader... he was running in 2008 and he won the presidency, I think.

[Droopy]

6. If you were a trucker

Would you prefer a 10-speed or a 13-speed transmission?

[catbert836]

10. I'm not sure

probably 13, for the lucky number.

[Droopy]

13. 13-speeds are more fun to drive, IMO.

[bigwillq]

9. Paper or plastic? (nt)

[catbert836]

11. Paper

Duh! So I can recycle.

[bigwillq]

12. Apple or Orange? (nt)

[catbert836]

14. Orange

I like citrusy foods.

[bigwillq]

17. Elvis or the Beatles? (nt)

[catbert836]

18. The Beatles.

Elvis was a Republican and pals with Nixon. I rest my case.

[bigwillq]

20. Mickey or Minnie? (nt)

[catbert836]

21. Neither.

They're both extremely annoying.

[bigwillq]

31. But if Mickey and Minnie were both hanging from a tall building

and you had the chance to save one of them, who would you save?

You must pick Mickey or Minnie, you may not answer neither.

[catbert836]

32. Mickey, I guess.

Since he's more well known, I could concievably get a reward for saving his life.

[bigwillq]

42. How big of a reward would you expect

for saving Mickey's life?

[catbert836]

43. So to make it a round number,

let's say a million. That's how much money everyone wants, right?

[bigwillq]

49. Of that $1 million reward, how much

would you donate to victims of the tsunami?

[catbert836]

52. $300,000

I just donated $100 to Doctors Without Borders.

[bigwillq]

54. Way to go!

:toast:

Good for you!

[Bronco69]

15. Are there any cowboys in PA?

Just kidding. What's for dinner?

[catbert836]

16. No cowboys here. Too snowy.

As for your other question, an antipasto salad from my local pizza place.

[catbert836]

22. Kick kick kick kick kick!

eom

[cruadin]

24. Ginger or MaryAnn? n/t

[catbert836]

25. MaryAnn

because I dislike the name "Ginger".

[Benhurst]

26. Why haven't you ever replied to one of my posts?

[catbert836]

27. Problem Solved

I don't know, I kind of move on rather quickly.

[redqueen]

28. Isn't catbert a Dilbert character?

[catbert836]

30. Yes. Catbert is da bomb.

He's the Evil Director of Human Resources who's in charge of downsizing... if I were evil, he would be my idol.

[redqueen]

35. Ah yes!

Now I remember... Thanks! :hi:

[catbert836]

No problem.

(eom)

[redqueen]

47. Only 9 more to go!

[Benhurst]

33. What was "Rosebud"?

[catbert836]

37. In a movie called Citizen Kane

Rosebud was Kane's childhood sled, or something of the sort.

[Benhurst]

45. Correct!

[catbert836]

51. Yay!

I'm only 5 posts away now.

[Benhurst]

34. Who was the last tsar of Russia?

[catbert836]

38. Nicolas II.

He was executed by the Bolsheviks, I think.

[Benhurst]

44. Sorry, but you are wrong. Most people miss this.

Nicholas II abdicated for himself and his son. Nicholas' brother became tsar Michael II. He was convinced to abdicate after just one day, becoming the last tsar of Russia. He was killed on the street by a mob on the street before his brother and family were executed. Nevertheless, he was the last tsar to rule in Russia.

[catbert836]

50. Wow.

The one-day tsar. What about lines of succesion? Wouldn't Nicolas' son be the one to succeed him?

[Benhurst]

66. No, Nicholas had already abdicated his son's right to the throne.

Michael had no children and the communist soon took over, making him the last of the line.

[Dzimbowicz]

36. Which brand of guitars was known as the "secret weapon" of the 60s?

[catbert836]

40. Not sure

I do play acoustic, but I'm not that familiar with guitar trivia.

[Dzimbowicz]

46. It was the Rickenbacker (electric)

[catbert836]

48. Oh. What did it look like?

n/t

[Dzimbowicz]

53. There is a wide variety

Check out their website and especially the limited edition reissues. I have one of the John Lennon 325/V12s and a regular 330. Both are black with white pick guards.

[catbert836]

57. Nice.

My acoustic is made out of Canadian wood... the type is A&L Dreadnought.

[Benhurst]

39. What is the oldest right Americans have given up in their panic over

9/11?

[catbert836]

41. Not sure of the oldest.

But as far as that goes, I would guess anything in the bill of rights.

[Benhurst]

55. No, the right of habeas corpus. Our founding fathers recognized

the right of habeas corpus as their most important right inherited from England. Habeas corpus, the right to see and review the evidence the state has for holding a prisoner, dates back before the 1215. King John recognized it as law when signed the Magna Carta. George W. Bush no longer has to recognize it, since it was abolished by a recent act of Congress (The National Security Act)in cases of "National Security." Guess who gets to define when "national security" is endangered.

Americans now have fewer rights than English citizens had BEFORE the signing of the Magna Carter. So much for standing tall. Home of the Brave? Land of the Free?

[bigwillq]

56. I'm thinking of a number between 1-10

and it's not 5 or 7. What number is it?

[catbert836]

58. 2!

Random guess.

[catbert836]

60. Well, this is number 1,000

Thank you to everyone who posted on this thread, I probably could have done it with out you, but it wouldn't've been so much fun! :yourock:
Happy New Year!

[bigwillq]

63. Congrats on 1,000 posts!!

:toast: :bounce: :party: :yourock:

[bigwillq]

61. Wrong!

But you were 2 away from 1,000 when you posted the answer to that question!

[Benhurst]

59. Whose sister was known as "Bloody" Mary?

[catbert836]

62. Queen Elizabeth I.

n/t

[Benhurst]

64. Congratulations! You are right -- and now have 1000 posts! NT

[Dzimbowicz]

65. How does one conjure up the image of Bloody Mary?

[Benhurst]

67. It's easy. First I picture a large glass of tomato juice ... . NT

[Dzimbowicz]

68. OK, but I was thinking of what my kids have told me...

At midnight go into the bathroom with a lit candle. Face the mirror, close your eyes and chant: "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary." Open your eyes and you will see her image in the mirror.

Oh, the innocence of youth.

[Benhurst]

69. OOOO -- I like that! Rather scary. NT

[donheld]

70. Congrats
