Re: GtKaP Interview Thread 2: Kneenibble
This amuses me because in the dressing room during the production of Yeomen of the Guard I was in, we turned 'anachronism' into a euphemism. Got to hide your anachronisms.
Why have you so cruelly deprived this quote of its last two words?
You eat tea?
You smoke?
Favourite Shakespeare play?"'But there's still such a lot to be done...'
YES. THERE ALWAYS IS."

What does the song hope for?
A seal, the Masters said,
must contain bowing and leaping,
'and that which hides in waters.'
Yellow, drunk with ink,
the scroll unrolls to the west
a river journey, each story
an owl in the dark, its child-howl
unreachable now
-- that father and daughter,
that lover walking naked down blue stairs
each step jarring the humming from her mouth.
I want to die on your chest but not yet,
she wrote, sometime in the 13th century
of our love
before the yellow age of paper
before her story became a song,
lost in imprecise reproductions
until caught in jade,
whose spectrum could hold the black greens
the chalk-blue of her eyes in daylight.
(Ondaatje -- from Last Ink)
Clovis or Reginald?
Well I had to look up any Reginalds: but even after a quick browse, I still say Clovis. Partly I love late antiquity, it's perhaps my favourite historical period; partly I love the history of western Christianity; and partly I just think Clovis and his story were cool.
What is your favorite fragrance (to wear yourself, or to smell on another person's skin)?
Madame, I have a horrible fixation for the smell of cigarette smoke on a man's clothes. It is incredibly erotic to me and has some deep roots in my adolescence.
Other than that I don't know a lot about scents and dislike most that I smell. I don't wear any myself; although there's a perfume shop near me "La Parfumerie" where the owner apparently will consult with you and design a custom scent just for you, and I keep intending to go and get that.
What is yours?
Who is your favorite Charles Dickens character?
To be truthful? I haven't read any Dickens before. Can I substitute a Maugham character, who strikes me as similar? The narrator of Of Human Bondage.
Did you ever find a yixing teapot?
Agh! That's right! I got wrapped up in other fixations and forgot about it. No no, the search will go on! Thank you!

rakkoon
Of course we read the answers, or is there a reason we shouldn't?
You might fall in love with me: no matter how married you are.
I will steal you from your home and your family to feed you tea and oranges that come all the way from China, and you know that I'm half crazy but that's why you want to be there.
You have been warned.
Are you hiding something?
What shall I say to thee, rakkoon, thou cruel,
Ingrateful, savage and inhuman creature,
Thou that didst bear the key of all my counsels,
That knewst the very bottom of my soul,
That almost mightst have coined me into gold
Wouldst thou have practiced on me for thy use?
Thufir

That's fantastic and very English. I will probably chuckle over that all evening.
Why have you so cruelly deprived this quote of its last two words?
What's thaaa-aaa-aaa-aaat?
Sorry.
You eat tea?
Hahaha, actually yes. Only gyokuro though. It acquires a pleasantly chewy texture after it's been steeped out, and the leaves are in big enough pieces to eat one at a time.
You smoke?
Yes, does this displease you? I don't smoke cigarettes though -- only my pipe and the odd cigar. I have a strong sense memory associated with the smell of pipe-smoke and my grandfather's carpentry shop where he did his smoking, which was a happy place for me as a child (the other grandfather, not the one from England).
Favourite Shakespeare play?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. *strokes no-longer-existent beard*
It's a hard tie between King Lear and King Henry IV Part II: a very hard tie to break. There may be the weight of a forked radish or a fantastic figure carved from a cheese paring after dinner towards the latter just because of fatty fatty Falstaff, even though the play lacks the spiritual depth of the former.
What say you?Last edited by Kneenibble; 2011-05-11 at 06:32 PM.

Did you get my PM?
Your Prime Minister made it to my house safe and sound. We're having tea, and then I'm going to inquire after Big Ben and whether he'd like to sail up my St. Lawrence.
edit As my interview draws to a close, I would like to thank all those who probed, all those who read, and messrs. Ghost Warlock and Reinholdt for hosting this event. I had lots of fun and I hope all of you did.Last edited by Kneenibble; 2011-05-11 at 09:20 PM.

Re: GtKaP Interview Thread 2: Kneenibble
I bet you would.
(Re: smoking, granted my experience of such is pretty much all cigarettes, so I don't know for sure if I'd feel differently about cigars or pipes. I'm generally OK with the fact that some people smoke, just as long as I don't have to be around them while they do so. I hate the smell)"'But there's still such a lot to be done...'
YES. THERE ALWAYS IS."

Re: GtKaP Interview Thread 2: Kneenibble
What is your preferred brand of pipe tobacco?
I use black for sarcasm.
Call me Rose, or The Rose Dragon. Rose Dragon is someone else entirely.
If you need me for something, please PM me about it. I am having difficulty keeping track of all my obligations.

Re: GtKaP Interview Thread 2: Kneenibble
Must answer all before name of thread is changed...!!!!
Once again, touché.
I will tell you: the smell of a pipe is like incense. Cigarettes do indeed smell like spent engine oil left in a puddle after a forest fire. Cigars run the whole spectrum from burning diarrhea to a jazz angel's breath after a gig.
Are you in a position to recommend a brand? I have only ever purchased the house blends from a local smoke shop, so I wouldn't know where to start with brands. I like the sticky fruity blends. (queue Thufir again.)
Can one acquire Turkish tobacco?
We can practice any time you like, fuzzybottom.Last edited by Kneenibble; 2011-05-12 at 11:30 AM.

Re: GtKaP Interview Thread 2: Deth Muncher
Oh man. I actually just finished exams, so I can update this thread. Unfortunately I need to plan for my D&D game today, then tomorrow I work and then go home to see my dad before he leaves for Wyoming for three years, and then have to go another hour south to help out with promoting an internet radio show...so it might be Monday before it happens. BUT IT WILL HAPPEN.

Re: GtKaP Interview Thread 2: Deth Muncher
Kneensy,
I did. It's got a miniature Mayan calendar on it. I'll probably get one with an onyx in it sometime soon.
I feel like I kind of have to. My mom did - she worked on a kibbutz for a year. I feel like it's kind of a Jewish rite of passage I need to do.
1988?
Dandy Smorhol?
A taser and a recharger for it.

Re: GtKaP Interview Thread 2: Deth Muncher
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Hah. Ha. You're funny.
No really though. I feel like VA has a very small amount of fun things unique to it. There's lots of historical sites, if you're a history buff - Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown, etc. There's a few neat geographical sites - the Natural Bridge is cool, as well as the Luray Caverns, We've got a neat waterfall up in Great Bridge, I think. We've got Busch Gardens, Water Country and Kings Dominion for amusement parks, if that's your thing - they get tiring after a while though, to tell you the truth.
Alternate Answer: Me.
