What's the oldest book you own?
Submitted by Lies.
Of my many quaint and curious volumes, the rarest, most prized, and certainly oldest would probably be my original Arabic version of Al Azif by the "mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred.
No, you can't borrow it.
What do you do when you get a crush on someone?
Submitted by Desi.
I load up on newspapers and magazines so that I can clip out a love note.
What are your top five break-up songs?
Submitted by gt.
Show me the person who has put serious thought into determining his/her "Top Five Breakup Songs", and I'll show you somebody destined to die alone with 27 cats and a room full of old issues of TV Guide.
Which popular slang expression drives you nuts?
Three expressions making the rounds on the internet nowadays really irritate me. I'm reading them all the time on forums and blogs and such. They are:
When somebody gets burned and you go, "Fossilized!" That annoys me to no end.
Using the word "pedophilia" to describe something cool, or sharp, or flash. For instance, "Dude, that new suit is so pedophilia!" I don't get this at all.
Describing somebody who screwed up as: "Consuming a right gluttonous portion of fire ants." What the fuck does this even MEAN?
I beg you all to stop using these expressions immediately.
What have you tried in life that you just weren't very good at?
I have been told that my singing and dancing in Monkey Business, the musical adaptation of Inherit the Wind that I was proud to appear in back in 1995, left much to be desired. Even my virtual cameo as the Singin' Strangler in Psychopera! was dismissed by critics as "clumsy rock operatic mugging without even the decency to be embarassed by itself", which you know, that really hurts, Roger Ebert. How would you like it if I reviewed your reviews? "Roger Ebert doesn't know a quality rock opera serial killer dramedy from his ass or a hole in the ground either for that matter. Go watch some more Russ Meyer films, you fat old breast fetishist," said the Fake Celebrity.
Not so much fun, is it, Roger Ebert? Maybe you're not very good at film-reviewing, did you ever think of that?
Hey, everybody, did you know that Mr. Ebert liked BOTH Tomb Raider movies? That is A FACT.
Do you have a particular "catch phrase" for which you are known?
Submitted by Emu with a Clue.
"Hi, I'm Kevin Wolf. Please fuck me in the ass as soon as my back is turned for two seconds!"
That's not what I actually say, it's merely what I assume people are hearing.
If you had one month to live, what five things would you do?
Suggested by Acerebel.
Wow. We just had a "one day to live" question last month, was it? I wouldn't do anything special if I had one month to live. I can't afford to just jet off anywhere, so no mountain climbing or locale visiting for me. The closest I'd come to that is probably flying down to AZ to visit Angie.
Seriously, I would just try to take it easy, spend time with friends and family and (assuming I was up for it in my dying state) have as much filthy sex as possible.
Love it or hate it, many of you lost an hour of sleep last night due to Daylight Saving Time? Worth It? Do you like it more/less now that Daylight Saving Time occurs earlier (and later) in the year?
Every year, it seems there's more belly-aching about Daylight Saving Time, and more people claiming that it upset their whole routine. I don't get it. It's a one hour time change that happens every year. I'm 37; I'm long past getting confused by Daylight Saving Time. Sure, I'm a little tired and out of sorts right now, but that's because it's the morning: I'm always tired and out of sorts in the morning. I'm not going to blame it on one simple time change when I feel like this every day.
It stays light a little later now. What's not to like about that?
How do you think having siblings (or not having siblings) affects who you are as a person?
I have no siblings. I used to have a half-brother, but as you all may be aware he stripped himself of that title recently. However, I was still raised as an only child. The effect is that I still generally prefer to spend time alone, and that I have great difficulty making connections with peole. I am fiercely protective of my personal space, and I hate being lied to and betrayed. Perhaps if I had been raised with a sibling who fucked me over and told lies about me all the time, I would be inured to this phenomenon by now. Since people everywhere are basically liars who would cut you off at the knees for two bits, I have a hard time finding people I can trust to let in. But those I do let in, who do become my friends, I would do anything for. Up until the moment that they prove themselves unworthy of my frienship, which happens more often than not.
Oh, I also somewhat turned on by the thought of an incestuous imaginary sister. That might be related to the whole only child thing, too.
How did you create your username for VOX? What influenced your decision?
Submitted by Strive2Be.
Oh, this is SUCH a hilarious story! I don't have time to tell the whole thing right now, but just remind me, because you will NEVER guess how I came up with my username! Haha, I'm laughing right now just thinking about it!
