17. We went into lockdown
Edited on Tue Jan-06-09 09:40 PM by lizziegrace
And Columbus is the capital and the entire downtown was evacuated. The flight that crashed in PA was our airspace. Later that day, AirForce One was refueled by a tanker that flew over our house. Low and slow over the city on it's way to Wright Patterson AFB.

39. I turned on CNN just after the first plane had hit. They thought it was a small
plane that had gone into the building. I called my dad to tell him to watch CNN. While I was on the phone with him the second plane hit. I knew right then it was terrorism but thought it was Palestinian in origin. Then it turned out it was al Qaeda. I remember seeing Yasser Araphat on the TV that night and he looked absolutely terrified. That was an awful day. And awful series of days.

21. Jet fuel smells a lot worse than 100LL.
I like 100LL, which is a highly refined gasoline. Jet fuel, not so much. I got some on me once and I couldn't get the smell off for a couple of days.

I watched the Vikings lose to the Eagles.

No. Laundry was just finished an hour ago.

I was at work.

Let it go.

Sheets? Who needs sheets? I just go until I get tired and flop down wherever I am, much like a cat.

I do not.

Strawberries.

Oddly enough, yes.

Not since I started using computers in the 80's.

It depends on the issue. If it involves opinions, I fold easily. If it about my principals I will go to my grave without compromising.

What's the last sporting event you watched?
La Kings hockey game.

Yes, only because my son forgot to bring home his PE clothes. That’s 2 weeks in the locker.

Where were you when 9/11 happened?
Home, getting my son ready for school.

Depends on how irritated I am. From shrug it off to call the 800 number

What color are your bed sheets?
red, vavavavoom

Do you like things that glow in the dark?
Not when I’m trying to sleep. Also not when I have to go into a small windowless room (bathroom) in order to see its “glow in the darkness” it reminds me of playing or attempting to play Bloody Mary as a child.

What's your favorite fruity scent?
Peach.

Do you like the smell of gasoline?
no

Do like to draw?
yes

Do you give in easily?
Only when I don’t really care about the issue. Or my sons' give me the Bambi eyes.

26. my answers
What's the last sporting event you watched?
Jousting. I kid you not.

Do you need to do laundry?
yep. seriously considering going out to buy more clothes instead of doing it. :P

Where were you when 9/11 happened?
I was in an American Studies course in college - a class on the evolution of the American public space. I'd gotten there a little early (it was an 8:30am class) and was talking to friends, when the prof came in saying he'd just heard the first tower had been hit - at that point we all thought it was a bizarre accident. Within 5 minutes he'd found a tv and we spent the class watching the news. It was surreal, especially because pretty quickly there started to be warnings that Philadelphia might also be a target.

What do you do when vending machines steal your money?
Report it. I'm quite annoying about it.

What color are your bed sheets?
At the moment, white with pale green ivy

Do you like things that glow in the dark?
As novelties? Sure. Not when I'm trying to sleep though.

What's your favorite fruity scent?
probably peach.

Do you like the smell of gasoline?
not particularly.

Do like to draw?
sort of. I'm not at all good at it, though. My art is in other ways.

Do you give in easily?
Hard to say. My first instinct was to say, only when I'm over-tired. But I think as I get older, I am more likely not to make a big deal out of things that don't matter. I am fairly good at compromise.

108. The Maryland Renissance Festival
okay, I know it's a bit weird, but it's definitely my favorite sport.


I'm not really a sports person, so I'd have to say the last "normal" sports I've seen were the Olympics - which I always make a point of watching. Other than that, it's whatever I happen to catch while channel surfing. :shrug:

116. Crownsville? Off of I-97?
We'd always drive by it whenever we'd go up to Baltimore, but I never stopped by. I think my parents went there after I moved away. Always looked like a lot of fun.

You should check out Christ Church in Calvert County every August or September. They always hold a big jousting tournament every year. One year they even had it on ESPN.

121. yep, Crownsville.
my sister was an actor for it awhile back, and I got in the habit of going every year.


It's actually really cool - and apparently the most historically accurate fair in North America (keeping in mind that it is still entertainment and not straight history, but they do make a real effort). They have one staged fight during the day, in the main ring. The rest is honest jousting, with no pre-arranged choreography.


I'll definitely check out the church tournament next year.

33. Okay.
I have never watched a sporting event. I've only seen bits and pieces when either flipping channels or when someone else has control of the nearest TV.

Nope. Gotta pick my laundry up though. :P

Asleep. In my bed. In the crappy college apartment complex I lived in at the time. I woke up to hear my roommates outside my door talking about the first tower being hit, and I was on the bus on the way to school when the second one hit.

Curse. Usually in fictional curse words.

Mis-matched.

Yes, unless they are radioactive.

I like the autumny smells, cinnamon and pumpkin or apple.

Not particularly.

Yes, but I suck at it.

I gave in to the urge to answer these, didn't I? :P

35. Good questions KC2
What's the last sporting event you watched?
I honestly can't remember. Probably something during the Olympics

Do you need to do laundry? Yes, but not very often

Where were you when 9/11 happened? I was a student at university here in Australia and it was late at night. I was just preparing to go to bed when I checked my newspaper online and got the news. Needless to say I was up all night after that watching the latest news

What do you do when vending machines steal your money? Get exceedingly frustrated, argue with the machine and try to shake it a few times. Of course it never works

What color are your bed sheets? Purple

Do you like things that glow in the dark? Yes, absolutely

What's your favorite fruity scent? Watermelon

Do you like the smell of gasoline? Yes, I love it.

Do like to draw? I did the best drawings in my visual arts class because my arts teacher would see my efforts and get so frustrated that he'd literally do it for me to show me how to do it! In other words, I am worse at drawing than * is at being President and that's saying something!

Do you give in easily? Most of the time

There's an interstate overpass and the west parking lot between where I was and the Pentagon proper. It's probably 1,500+ feet but a relatively unobstructed view. That's why the 9/11 "truthers" piss me off. I know they're full of it, at least in reference to the Pentagon site.

.
What's the last sporting event you watched? - Flyers-Caps, just ended now. Caps won 2-1 on a shootout. If you mean a live event, it was Sabres-Flyers on what I believe was the 26th of December.

Do you need to do laundry? - Yes.

Where were you when 9/11 happened? - Sherbrooke.

What do you do when vending machines steal your money? - Curse. If it's a small vending machine like a newspaper machine, I'll shake the little fucker until I get my money back.

What color are your bed sheets? - Navy blue, pine green and gold.

Do you like things that glow in the dark? - Not especially.

What's your favorite fruity scent? - Lemon.

Do you like the smell of gasoline? - No.

Do like to draw? - No. I probably would if I had any ability, but I couldn't draw a circle with a compass. I suck.

Do you give in easily? - On some things, such as crossword or Sudoku puzzles, yes. In disagreements with my better half, about 50-60% of the time.

1. I saw the Mariners shut out the Tigers at the Safe in Seattle last May. It was a great game!
2. Nope. It's done.
3. In my car going to work. I turned on the radio, and the first thing I heard was a scream. Then random confused sounds for maybe fifteen seconds. Then the on-the-scene reporter started in. By the time I got to work, I was freaked out...
4. I invent new, interesting and very creative profanity.
5. The ones on the bed right now are cream with a lacy trim. (Yes, my wife picked them out...)
6. Ceiling star stickers, yes. Condoms, no.
7. Strawberry.
8. Yes. And NO, I'm NOT huffing, so stop saying that!...
9. Yes, but I'm terrible at it.
10. Oh sure, fine, whatever you want, it's not worth an argument...

109. One of the trainees lost an uncle in the attack, and another had a
cousin by marriage, I think it was, also at WTC...it was so sad. We didn't have cable TV at this workplace, only used the TVs for showing training videos, etc., so I went out and bought an antenna so we could try to pull in some news in the break room.
The two trainees left immediately on hearing the news, and we never saw either one of them again.

2. Yep. Like now.
3. It happened a lot of times... I was in a lot of places.
4. Usually I kick them. If that doesn't work I throw myself against them. But I don't weigh much, so it doesn't always work.

89. Well...
Not the ones that are grown on factory farms. Those ones are kind of sad and sexually repressed. They get poisoned with pesticides and thrown into trucks before they're ripe. But if you had a tangerine tree growing in your backyard, or in a community garden, where they were raised by happy people and allowed to fully ripen... those would be some sexy tangerines.
Okay, so first, you've got orange inside, and orange outside, but you've got this white layer between the two areas of orange. So if you leave it on, because that's where the vitamin C is, you peel off the husk, and you can see the orange through this paper-thin skin, and it's full of tangerine juice, but the white skin is perfectly dry. And if you peel it into segments, still not breaking the skin, you can see the seeds bumping up against the skin at the narrowest parts of the segments, which you can get out by pushing them through the white paper layer, and the paper breaks and tangerine juice spills like beads of water down silk, and when the seeds are out you bite the segment of the tangerine, but it doesn't just break once, it keeps getting crushed and each round, tear-shaped sub-segment breaks individually, sweeter than oranges, and sometimes, the tangerine isn't just the main segments. Sometimes there's a dent at the top, the size of the tip of your thumb, and in that dent, there's another tiny tangerine, a second round bead with its own chambers of translucent pulp...

I'm surprised that that's the part of my post you took notice of, though. I thought if you replied at all, it would be to yell at me for being a smartass about 9/11. I knew what you meant, though. You meant the time that a significant number of Americans said, "Hey, it's a September Eleventh Terrorist Attack that we'll actually decide is worthy of our attention!"

1. Hockey, although I only watch a few minutes of it here and there. DH is the hockey addict. If you mean watching an entire event, it would be my granddaughter's soccer game.

2. Yes, there is always laundry to do.

3. We were living in Michigan then. We'd just dropped our dog off at the vet for surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. We came into the house, turned on the TV and saw the gaping hole in the tower and heard a "small" plane had hit it. We discussed that a small plane couldn't have done that much damage and then saw the 2nd plane hit the other tower.

4. I can't remember the last time I used a vending machine.

5. sage green

6. some things. Some stuff looks weird while other things look cool. There are glow in the dark stars on my granddaughter's ceiling. I like those. She had some glow in the dark stickers of various animals and fish that didn't look so nice.

7. Apples and cinnamon, strawberry too, as long as the scent isn't too strong.

8. Accckkkk! Gasoline smell makes me nauseous.

9. Yes. While I've never been good at it, I always enjoyed drawing with my kids and grandkids.

10. It depends. Some things I'm a pushover, other things not so much.

What's the last sporting event you watched?

Gator Bowl. It was forced upon me because NE was playing. Wooo hoooo, NE finally won a game. :eyes:

Do you need to do laundry? No.

Where were you when 9/11 happened?

I was at home, getting ready to go to work. I did not think the first plane was an accident. I kept watching the news, and the second plane hit the other tower. I was an hour late to work that day.

What do you do when vending machines steal your money?

Depends. If I can get my damned Pepsi or chips by complaining to an owner or worker, I'm fine. If it's a buck I'll never get back, well, that does piss me off. But I have more important and bigger things to worry about. Pox on their house, and not mine.

What color are your bed sheets?

Multi colored stripes!

Do you like things that glow in the dark?

Not especially.

What's your favorite fruity scent?

Well, if I am eating food, I kinda like pears. Or mandarin oranges. But I spend more time eating it than sniffing it.

Do you like the smell of gasoline?

No

Do like to draw?

Oh, fuck no. I have no talent whatsoever with drawing pictures.

Do you give in easily?

Yes, I do give in, very easily. But, push me too far ....

1. What's the last sporting event you watched? I believe it was Marlins' opening day. Unless you mean on TV, in that case it was the ending of the Fiesta Bowl.

2. Do you need to do laundry? No, but my wife does it incessantly. It never ends.

3. Where were you when 9/11 happened? In the breezeway of my school. Someone told me that a plane flew into the World Trade Center and I thought it was a Cessna. Went into the student lounge and saw the twin towers on fire like matchsticks, and could only utter "Oh, shit."

4. What do you do when vending machines steal your money? Kick it a couple of times, and then just admit bitter defeat.

5. What color are your bed sheets? Tan, or beige, or something. I don't know.

6. Do you like things that glow in the dark? Eh, it was cool at first seeing the black light thing in college but it got old.

7. What's your favorite fruity scent? Not much for fruity scents, except maybe citrus. So I'll say orange juice or lemonade.

8. Do you like the smell of gasoline? Actually yes, it reminds me of when I was young and going on car rides, and watching my dad get out and pump the gas.

9. Do like to draw? Yes, but only sports stadiums and arenas. Don't know why.

10. Do you give in easily? Yes....no.....ah, what the hell, whatever you want me to say, I'll say. :)

118. Random, 100-percent correct answers.
What's the last sporting event you watched?
Caught a little of the GMAC Bowl last night. Last game I watched a great deal of was last Sunday's Miami-Baltimore playoff game. Fuckin' Ravens.


Do you need to do laundry?
Always.


Where were you when 9/11 happened?
Surfing on a beach near Daytona. Lot of shark attacks that year, you might remember, and there had been a few at this beach. A newspaper colleague and I were out there with a group of surfers, doing a story on surfing with sharks. Anyway, you can pull your car onto the beaches there, and all the radio stations suddenly went with the news. A whole beach of surfers and sunbathers, all crowded around the few cars on the beach, listening. Weird rumors started to crop up on the radio after the actual attacks. A truck bomb had gone off in front of the State Department. A suicide bomber near Congress. Nothing any of us could do, of course. After a while, we got our boards and went back in the water, out among the sharks and the waves, and surfed angry.


What do you do when vending machines steal your money?
Generally, I tend to commit aggravated assault upon the machine. But only for a little while.


What color are your bed sheets?
Ecru.


Do you like things that glow in the dark?
I used to, back when I was more into hallucinogens than I am now. These days, I think it's kinda tacky.


What's your favorite fruity scent?
Can I answer none of the above?


Do you like the smell of gasoline?
Not particularly, but I don't particularly dislike it either. I am ambivalent to the smell of gasoline.


Do like to draw?
Yes. However, I should point out that it does not follow that I am necessarily good at drawing. In fact, I am not. When I have more time, maybe once I've retired to my villa in the south of France, I'd like to take up painting and get really good at it.


Do you give in easily?
No.

Edited on Wed Jan-07-09 01:58 PM by last_texas_dem
1) Part of the UT-Ohio State game, just b/c I was in the room when it was on. I don't really have any sporting events that I regularly watch by choice.

2) I should, but it's not urgent at the moment.

3) Eating breakfast in the cafeteria of the Kerr Hall dorm at the University of North Texas. (How's that for specific? haha) I came out of the cafeteria and people were gathered around the TV in the lobby watching what had happened.

4) If it looks possible, I shake the machine in the hopes that the item will dislodge. Otherwise, I just grumble inwardly and walk off...

5) Blue and white

6) Yes, although I was sometimes scared of them as a child. :scared:

7) Something melon-ish, probably...

8) Yes, at least in small doses.

9) Yes, but I'm mostly only good at non-descript doodling and basic cartoon-like figures.

10) It really depends on how much something matters to me. I hate conflict so I tend to give in if something doesn't seem particularly important, but I also tend to be fairly stubborn about feeling like someone is telling me what to do.

Sept. 2011 I was at home trying not to make any noise hoping to evade the throngs of plague-zombies outside my house.
Did I mention that I experience time backwards?

Steal the vending machine.

128. The outdoor hockey game at Wrigley Field on New Year's Day
between the Blackhawks and the defending champion Detroit Red Wings.

2. I'm good until MLK Day (good luck scoring any of the eight, count 'em, eight washers or dryers in my nearly 300-unit building on a weekend!)

3. In bed (it took place at 4:15 AM Hawai'i time).

4. I seldom patronize vending machines. I'd probably jiggle the machine like a pinball player trying not to Tilt.

5. A dark red.

6. They're all right, I guess.

7. Oh, you're just asking for it, pal! :evilgrin: Okay, I'll be a good little boy and say "orange".

8. I prefer the smell of napalm in the morning. :P

9. Yes, especially maps.

10. Nope. Fairly obstinate.
