| 51 | I don't even know where "Tenerife" is. Except that now I do, as the spellchecker didn't recognize it and the online dictionary did. | Has anyone been to Playas de las Americas in Tenerife ? If so, how was it ? |
| 52 | None of the above. I'll put in a second vote for The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood. Excellent book. As for Infinite Jest, that is also an excellent book, but it's not for everyone. | which of these books have you read, and who was your favorite character in each? why? |
| 53 | Elizabeth and I actually made an unabridged audio version for a dyslexic friend. We alternated chapters. It was a lot of fun. She does a much better Roz than I do, but I think I had a firmer grasp on Tony. | which of these books have you read, and who was your favorite character in each? why? |
| 54 | When Navigator and whatever server I'm connected to agree that I have a secure connection, I tend to believe them. Perhaps that's foolish; I don't know. | How concerned are you releasing personal information using electronic commerce? |
| 55 | "Sorry" But not for the game, really. | Which board game is your favorite? |
| 56 | Kill me first! I'm probably not Green Day's biggest fan, but I do like them a lot, and I'm fairly willing to die. But please do it quickly; I'm not into pain. | Who sucks the most? |
| 57 | I wanted a "None" option, but you haven't given me one that doesn't have baggage attached that I don't particularly wish to express. Something like "None; I don't particularly care for this television show and haven't really formed opinions about its characters." | Which "Star Trek Next Generation" character is your favorite? |
| 58 | Wow! Someone is not sick of those?!? I would never have imagined it possible! Hey! What are you doing watching Star Trek? Do you know how many good books you've never read? Do you have any idea what kind of cool stuff there is to know that you don't know? You probably like some kind of game or sport; get out there and play it! Play the bongos! Bake a cake! Kill your television! | Which "Star Trek Next Generation" character is your favorite? |
| 59 | For years and years, I tried with no success to learn to whistle. I wanted to be able to do it, but I just couldn't get a whistling sound to come out. I could make an extremely quiet sort of rushing wind noise with my mouth (sufficiently quiet that only I could hear it) and I could modulate its tone just like whistling, but no whistling sound. Then, one day (when I was in graduate school), a day apparently like every other day in all other respects, I was walking along, making my little mouth sound, when a whistling noise happened. That was all it took. Within a week I had a couple of octaves' range and I was whistling tunes and practicing large-interval jumps. Now I whistle almost constantly. | Can you whistle? |
| 60 | You know, I thought about answering what Jen answered. Basically, that cliques are for kids (Sorry about that; I couldn't help myself.) and we grownups don't do that. Then I realized that it was more the case that when you're a grownup, you're just automatically going to socialize only with a limited circle, and so the concept of "clique" simply becomes redundant. We think that there are no cliques because everyone we ever see is in the same one, or we wouldn't ever see them. (This ignores the possibility that work is your social engine, like school tends to be when you're younger. In my case, it's not, and I think the same is true of most of my friends. We may have one or two friends that we know from work, but they're just the people that we work with who happen to fit in with our preassembled social group or, if you like, our clique.) | What clique do others see you in? |
