In a far away galaxy as ours will collide with Andromeda. Hopefully it would be an oatmeal raisin cookie house.

Spongebob Squarepants. I'd be Mr. Crabbs, methinks.

What 3 books would you take with you to a deserted island?

7. My answers
Edited on Mon Aug-15-11 01:27 PM by LynneSin

  1. Boxers or Briefs? (men - which do you wear, women which you prefer on men). Sorry guys but briefs just aren't that sexy. I have no clue what the comfort level is but seriously, if you think you might be getting some, your chances will greatly increase if it's boxers (or boxer briefs) over tighty whiteys.

  2. Imagine that someone whacked you across the forehead with a giant bat and you lost all sense of intelligence. Which GOP candidate would you vote for in the primaries? Rick Perry because he can't pray away the gay but he has managed to pray away the rain. We could use his help here in Delaware (it's raining yet again)

  3. If money was no object - where would your dream house be located and what type of house would it be?I'd like a co-op in NYC, preferably in lower manhatten and would be nice if it had a private balcony or roof-top deck.

  4. If you could be a character in any cartoon series or movie, which one would you pick and what would be your character? I always wanted to be Mrs. Bugs Bunny

  5. What 3 books would you take with you to a deserted island? "Memoir of a Geisha" and "Cider House Rules" - I can read these 2 books over and over and over again. Third book would be "Surviving on a deserted island for dummies"

  6. If you could have dinner with any one person throughout history who would you pick?Jesus - just so we could talk about all the whacky stuff that has been done in his name.

  7. What is your biggest phobia?It's a tie between Stupid People and Electrical Storms

  8. What is your favorite pie?Shoo-Fly Pie

  9. What is your favorite charity and why?Juvenile Diabetes - because my niece has it and personally I think we'd have a cure ages ago if the fundies didn't mess around with stem-cell research.

  10. Who'll Stop the Rain? Maybe John Fogerty?

25. Okie dokie...
1. Boxers
2. I'd close my eyes and pick one at random. One would have to lose all sense of intelligence to vote for any one of them.
3. One of those flats that overlooks Wrigley field. If not that, then a modern-style, "green" solar house, with a yard big enough for a vegetable garden, where I can grow heirloom veggies. And, maybe have a chicken coop. Preferably somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, although northern New Mexico/Arizona, or Colorado would be fine, too.
4. Evil Plankton from "Spongebob Square Pants".
5. A survival guide of some sort, the Harry Potter Series, The "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" "trilogy".
6. Benjamin Franklin.
7. Closed in spaces.
8. Coconut cream
9. My local SPCA. Homeless pets are a HUGE problem here, and they are no-kill, and provide low-cost spay/neuter.
10. I don't know, but they need to start it before they can stop it. We're dry as a bone here.

4. Captain Augustus "Gus" McCrae, Lonesome Dove. Just an all-around decent fellow.


5. The Lord of the Rings (it only counts as one), the aforementioned Lonesome Dove and Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Paul Tipler.

6. Richard Feynman. This two minute video is an example why: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05WS0WN7zMQ

7. Cancer

8. Just plain ol' Apple Pie (with vanilla ice cream)

9. American Cancer Society

10. Jim Halpert (Rain/Rainn... get it?)

37. I almost picked Friday Harbor, but I'm definitely not with you on the A-frames.
My husband tried to talk me into buying one when we were house hunting, but I just couldn't see myself living in one.

28. Here goes:
1. Commando
2. Gubner Goodhar
3. A house in mountains and forests where walls opened up like garage doors.

29. Most take the opposite approach.
  1. Knit Boxers. (That means boxers, but woven of t-shirt material.)
  2. Fred Karger (I'd be pissing my pants laughing if he chose DC Councilman David Catania for a running mate. It'd be like the "Big Happy Not-so-conservative gay candidacy." Certain other Primary candidates might commit seppuku making this a two-fer or three-fer on the awesome! scale.)
  3. Condo in Greenwich Village.
  4. I want to be Short Round from Temple of Doom. Admit it, so do you.
  5. War and Peace, Gravity's Rainbow, Infinite Jest (Three books I just can't seem to finish)
  6. Cary Grant
  7. Bees and Blood. I have anaphylaxis to bees, merely hemophobia with chronic acute clustering vasovagal syncope (and because that's not annoying enough, syncope can trigger my epilepsy too.) My worst fear is getting stung by a bee, jabbing myself with the epi-pen, passing out at the sight of the blood from the jab then dying of a seizure in my unconscious state. (Needless to say, I'm not allowed to live alone, juggle chainsaws, watch bloody hooror films or have a bee-keeping hobby.)
  8. Apple Pie
  9. I'm very fond of Amnesty International and Equality Maryland.
  10. Not me, I love the rain.

A large, rambling three story house, with a gigantic library, a media room, a specially-built isolation tower, where I could enjoy a view of the Cascade Mountains and a good read, with no one bothering me. It would be completely green, energy-wise. Solar panels, a wind-turbine, rainwater collection pipes leading to an underground cistern to be purified and stored for emergencies, etc.

Roger Rabbit... :evilgrin:

Ben Franklin.

Lethal: drowning; non-lethal: cockroaches.
