Pretty self explanatory. Ask a fellow poster a random or not so random question!

From time to time, questions pop into my head that I want to ask someone. Some of the questions may be serious, and even if they aren’t, you’re under no obligation to answer. Actually yes you are, I will equalize you if you don't answer me!



So…


Al: What’s one idea for a Thought Provoking Thread ™ ™ ™ that never came to fruition? Also, what makes you laugh?

Arjan: What’s your dream job?

Ben: How did you and your wife meet?

Bruce: If you could get away with (i.e your fiancée would let you) a big themed wedding, what theme would you have?

Christian: If I gave you $500, would you shave your head? Also, if you could only have one of the characters from Friends as your friend, who would it be?

Gar: If you couldn’t live in Malaysia anymore, where would you want to live?

Jamon: Who are you? I know virtually nothing about you.

Jerry: What is the perfect weekend?

Johnny: What was with that possum avatar?

Lorcan: If you could take Laura anywhere this weekend, where would you go?

Mike: What do you want to take a photograph of, that you haven’t yet had the chance to?

Nic: If you could live the life of any Disney character for a day, whose would it be? Also, if you could draw anything and have it turn out perfect, who or what would you draw?

Ogul: What’s your avatar all about and why do you never change it? Also, what are three things you couldn’t live without?

Russell: Who do you think is funny?

Steve S: If you could do one last thing with your mother, what would it be?

Tony: What’s your dream job? Also, what’s it like being the board’s resident Italian Stallion?

Ulf: Does anyone ever give you shit for being vegan?

[The Lorcan Nagle]

Lorcan: If you could take Laura anywhere this weekend, where would you go?

Our favourite place in the whole world

Stephanie: What is the answer to this question?

[Johnny Henning]

Johnny: What was with that possum avatar?

It went with my quote at the time - all my Avatars are related to the quotes in the signatures - and that one was about how I had recently rescued a baby possum.

Besides, it was so cute, right?


Next time, I'm going for a Honey Badger. Those mofo's are fearless:

Hello:

Al: What’s one idea for a Thought Provoking Thread ™ ™ ™ that never came to fruition? Also, what makes you laugh?

Well, I wanted to start a thread talking about our parents
but I will wait until Father's Day and Mother's Day to do it.


As for what makes me laugh, I would have to say Steven
Wright humor.

Arjan: What’s your dream job?

Carpenter. Unfortunately I'm clumsy as hell

[Ulf Imwiehe]

Ulf: Does anyone ever give you shit for being vegan?

Yes, at least outside my close circle of like-minded friends some people do. It’s gotten to the point I pretend to be allergic or whatever in order to avoid the same old rabbit food/tree hugger jokes. To my shame I’m way past proselytizing. That said, since I haven’t withered away after 15 years of veganism my parents have cut back heavily on meat and feel much healthier for it, which makes me happy.

Stephanie: In your opinion, what’s the most powerful art form and why?

[Youri Zoutman]

Superman: Will you sign my Absolute All Star Superman

[Russell H]

Russell: Who do you think is funny?

I have a half-remembered quote in my head (which I think is from Billy Connolly) that no comedian can ever be as funny as sitting in a pub telling stories with your mates. Extend that to include people I've talked to or hung out with from work/Facebook/Millarworld/Twitter/wherever and it has to be them.

If you mean professional comedians, then I'd start with the following:

Stand-ups - Dara O'Briain, Dylan Moran, Russell Howard, Tim Vine, Stewart Lee, Dave Gorman, Kevin Bridges, Bill Bailey, Sarah Millican...

TV shows - Outnumbered, Community, Peep Show, 30 Rock, QI, How I Met Your Mother, That Mitchell & Webb Look, The Daily Show, The IT Crowd...

I don't read much in terms of comedy, but I've laughed terrifying long and hard at books by Bill Bryson, Charlie Brooker, Dave Gorman, Terry Pratchett, Mark Radcliffe...




Jimmy Carr & Lucy Greeves wrote a fabulous book on jokes and comedy, The Naked Jape. If you're interested at all in how and why jokes work, and the various theories people have put forth about that, it's well worth picking up.

Oh, go stick a soybean up your butt, you rabbit food eating tree hugger!*

I really can't think of anything I'd like to ask anyone at the moment, but I'm more than willing to answer whatever I'm asked.

[Chris D]

Russell, what's the best question I could possibly ask you?

[craggy]

my question is this: what do you want to know?

[Arjan Dirkse]

Craggy: Is Craggy your given name or is it short for something else like Craig, which oddly is in fact shorter than Craggy? Craigslist maybe? Also, is it terribly wrong for me to think of you as Craggy (sp?) from Being John Malkovich?

[craggy]

As of this date, the 9th of January Two Thousand and Twelve, I am not, nor have I ever been in John Malkovich. But yes, my name is Craig. I use Craggy, or some variation thereof, on the internets, because there was already a Craig or two here and even a Craigy. I tend to be wary of revealing my true identity in case of magicks or invisible folks. Oh and ID fraud on the internet, but that's hardly as likely.

[Arjan Dirkse]

OK cool.

I though of some more:

T Masters: Are your traveling plans for Europe coming along?

Johnny: Do you still like California?

Gar: Did you manage to learn Chinese yet?

[Tonycal]

Tony: What’s your dream job? Also, what’s it like being the board’s resident Italian Stallion?

My dream job. Hmmm I have to think about that. Okay I sort of have two answers. 1. I would be a great selling comic book writer like the Chief. 2. I would run a non profit organization that helps people through the struggles of life. << In the end I really do enjoy helping other people I do not know and some of the ones I do know.

I didn't realize I was the board's Italian Stallion. I guess that is an honor. Even though I don't look like I'm Italian (I am Italian by the way for those who don't know). Oh and lets have some pasta and meatballs. I'll save the meatballs for later!!! lol

[stephanie familiar]

I'm more than willing to answer whatever I'm asked.

how big is your penis?

Stephanie: What is the answer to this question?

of course it's "bite me."

[Johnny Henning]

Johnny: Do you still like California?

Oh, yeah - everything's better with California.

[ditta]

Arjan Dirkse- Can you play a musical instrument?

[Arjan Dirkse]

I play a little guitar. It's really tiny...

I've also played bass guitar in a blues band. That was fun, and not very difficult.
