1. On what date will I hit 2000 posts?
Edited on Sun Apr-24-05 01:53 AM by Heaven and Earth
I am at *checks the number*... 1196, and I have been here for precisely one year.

3. Tomorrow!
If you get cracking today! More reasonably, I'd say in about eleven months if posting stays close to your average.

9. It's not too complicated
Wail on Freepers, make fun of shrub.

It's like riding a bicycle. A bicycle with a million drunks on it.

46. Its more than that...
Its about knowing which posts not to reply to in a thread (because they won't get read), How to title posts to be both accurate and attention getting, knowing which threads not to start because they are inevitable flamebait (I started two abortion threads before I learned to avoid this) and so on...

We work darn hard at what we do here!:D

5. Because it is a puppy
and they have been trained in the womb to annoy. Use some water spritzer or a loud shaker to let it know that's naughty.

If these humane efforts prove useless, smack its rear when it starts to squat and rub it's nose in it.

If that doesn't work, put a cork in it.

Due to the fact that every 2 hours we take him out to do ' his business'.

Nor do I condemn them.

Condemn looks funny and I refuse to spell check to see if it's correct.

13. Well, I cut my hair
so it's much shorter now.

Also, angelfire allows no direct hotlinking, so the pic isn't showing it. Anyone who wants to see it can go to my homepage:
www.angelfire.com/indie/badwaitress.

I don't think of myself as cute, but it does wonders for my self-esteem to be called so.

15. Favorite book?
Don't get me started. Right now, probably...gee, I really don't know. My favorite authors are Bradbury, Vonnegut, Palahniuk and Terry Pratchett. My favorite books are Cat's Cradle, Survivor, Catch 22, On the Road, and Hitchhiker's Guide. I suppose.

Video Game? Worms. Mebbe, Zelda, but I think I'll go with Worms.

20. All of 'em
:)

Favorite though, is the first N64 - Ocarina of Time. It just blew away the others. I've played all of them except the newest Gamecube one (no gamecube) and the new minish cap one for Gameboy(no GBA).

Adventure of Link was kinda craptastic, though I made a fair amount of $ off of it.



edit cause I'm a moron

37. It was the second one
Gold cart. for NES, side scroller... terrible game play. If you ever played 'Total Recall' for NES, it was like total recall, but with Link.

I made some nice money off of it cause I collect old school games and consoles, and I happened to have a mint copy of that game with working battery, and apparently that was worth a lot of money to another collector :)

38. Ah yes
The shitty one. Truth be told, I've never played it all the way through. It wasn't very fun.

But I know people who say its their favorite. It takes all types I guess.

Old school games? That is really cool. I had a friend in college who had almost every pre-N64 system. Coleco Vision, Intellivision, Atari 2800 and up, He even had a Sega Master System and a 16-bit Atari Jaguar (or was it Lynx?)

42. I don't know
I would speculate if he didn't have it, he was working on getting it. He was a hip cat, smoked pot every day and was acing all his classes.

I've lost track of him, sadly.

23. Last name: Abel
Nickname in High School: Abelman. A nickname which my father had in high school (so he claims) and which has been featured spraypainted on my car (the Abelman 1) and which I will have the rest of my days.

Not a fascinating story, I'm afraid, but it's my identity.
