capnoblivious, whose questions are way more exciting than any I could come up with.
1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, ask them five questions.
1. A diplomat from the Great Siblinghood of the Stars comes to you with a proposition: it will arrange to fast-track the induction of Earth into the Siblinghood (something demiurgically_m might get a bit pissed off about, incidentally), if you do it a favour. How would you react if the favour were:
- innocuous to both of you, but still involving meddling with the celestial bureaucracy?
- innocuous to you but highly illegal in its culture?
- repulsive to you or illegal in our culture, but innocuous to it?
- highly illegal and/or repulsive in both cultures?
No, no, no, no. Payoff doesn't seem worth it.
You don't know J., as far as I know - would scuppering her great galactic jaunt (or whoever else they take, if she won't go) influence the decision?
As I don't know her, no.
2. As a result of lilysea's meddling in the past, dogs no longer exist. She's sorry about that. You've decided to choose a native Australian pet - any stand out as obvious choices?
The obvious one is wallaby, I've wanted one for years. They seem a sensible size & they're cute. But while she's back there in the past, could she bring me back a thylacine?
3. What's your favourite word to say? To think? To slip unobtrusively into conversation as a game?
I can't think of any. Huh. Lots of words I don't like :)
4. Kasparov's rounded on me - he's got hold of the chair leg and has me reeling. Would you: use that weapon in your hand to stop him beating me up; or rearrange the chess pieces so he couldn't win even against a bruised and battered Stu? What weapon is it, anyway?
Was this before or after question 5? I'm not sure the cordless mouse would be much good, so I'd have to settle for rearranging the chess pieces. Now, if it had a cord, I guess I could try to strangle him.
5. Question 1 - it was a sting! You've scuppered humanity's hopes to join the siblinghood! The UN's diplomatic corps is coming your way, and they are not happy - would you stay and face the music, or steal exp_err's prototype and escape thirty point eight years into the future?
I'm out of here.
