I heard "celery" instead of "salary" (probably because I didn't knew the word salary back then) in the song "Too Much of Nothing". I really wondered, why one should send celery to women.


Do you like white chocolate?

Somewhat, but not as well as some other things.

Derleth Mythos or Lovecraft Mythos?

I suppose Lovecraft wins, because although I've never read any of his stuff, at least I've heard of him.

Who would win in a three-way fight to the death? Yoda, Dumbledore, or Gandalf?

Gandalf.

Have you experienced the rush of a sniper rifle in your hands, the target a half a world away not knowing that with a slight twitch of your finger death will soar in teh form of a piece of lead in their direction? Virtually, of course.

Yes. Non-virtually as well, though I was shooting at a target and not a person.

Have you ever been to a firing range?

Unfortunately, no. My life has not involved such martial activities.
If a zombie apocalypse were to break out, I would be useless.


Got any tips for alleviating a sore throat?

@V I've been having some luck with honey and hot water with a little bit of allspice. But it's tough getting the amount of honey to the point where it's not overpowering.
I'll give the pepper a miss because I'm not fond of anything too spicy.

@VV Yet more advice. I shall have to add some cinnamon and ginger next time.

@V & VV Thank you both.

While I know of several home remedies for sore throats (cayenne pepper, warm lemon water, and honey are all supposed to provide temporary relief), I'm afraid that I can't claim knowledge of whether they are actually effective. Get lots of rest though, and keep hydrated. Feel better soon!

Have you seen any interesting films recently?

Simmer fresh ginger root, lemon peel, cinnamon bark, and red chili flakes for fifteen minutes. Add honey and lemon juice. Sip this potion of mortal flame carefully -- it is potent (actually this is not far off from a drink which Andy Serkis used to protect his throat while playing Gollum).

Also, flutter your tongue as for a voiceless rhotive rather than clear your throat.

& do not whisper.



O! No other avenging angel of the Tea Queens would I rather ninja me.

I saw Midnight Cowboy recently. It warrants all of its classic status. Beautiful and strange.


May I help you somehow this evening?

Well, I have a very good memory, both with random facts and some bits of science. As well, I can play most woodwind instruments, though with varying degrees of tonality and a preference for clarinet or alto sax.

So, yeah. I'm a bard with ranks in Perform: [Woodwind].


How do you spend the majority of your free time?

Positive motivating influences. I'd be much more productive if the motivating influences from my past were back in my life or if new ones were introduced.

How would you motivate me to get to work on my various projects?

Bottle of chemicals, plus the element of suprise and spirits.

Which spirits do you prefer, alcoholic or paranormal?

Paranormal, definitely. I work in the wine-department, and have no use for the various ways people have of incapacitating themselves.

In TF2, what is your favorite class?

Engineer, naturally. I have a tendency to want to be as directly helpful to people as possible, and when playing Medic, it always seems like I'm doing something wrong.

If a vampire approached you claiming to be one like in Twilight, would you be more likely to think it's a trap and slay it or trust it and see where it goes?

whether it's telling the truth or lying, you burn it with fire. Either for being an evil soulless predator or for being an awful fruity waste of space which should be exterminated with extreme prejudice.

My vote goes for sandwich. Nigh-infinite versatility, plus you get extra points for neatness, compactness, and taste.

Plus, you know. Sandvich.

I prefer to use "carpentry". It's not a normal expletive, but if you shorten it, it sounds like one.
