So, given the spate of “Ask the…” threads that sprouted this summer, I’m starting a new one.
Ask me your questions.
Ask me about the stupidity involved in making a bet about a game that the Eagles played against an opponent they haven’t beaten in four years.
Ask me about my upcoming trip to Sweden.
Ask me about my band that just broke up.
Ask me about my opinions on the upcoming election.
Ask me for dating advice.
Ahh, hell, I’ll even give technical support in this thread, as well as basic pointers on web design.
Find out when the fleet’s in Norfolk. Go to the Waterside. I’ve heard that works.
Seriously, you’re a wonderful woman, Falcon, and don’t let anything or anyone convince you otherwise. If I could meet Anniz then some other schlub will meet you.
I can’t wait. I’m leaving Washington on Friday evening the 17th (19.05 flight), and after a layover in Paris DeGaulle Saturday morning, I’ll arrive in Stockholm on Saturday afternoon at 13.55.
In addition to normal sightseeing and hanging out stuff, Anniz and I are planning to take an overnight cruise to Helsinki for a daytrip.

And most importantly… RULERS OF NYC!!*
I have to admit, I laughed when I first saw it. It could be worse (like how Satan told me in an IM that he considered mentioning Anniz in it), and thankfully it’s short.
It’s also patently ridiculous and hopefully no one will assume it’s even in the slightest true.
I was in a band that I co-founded called Chance of Rain. It was formed by my friend Rebecca and I about three years ago to submit a track for a tribute album to Marillion, a favourite band of both of ours.
After we submitted our track, “The Release,” we decided to continue on with original music. The other three members at the time weren’t as inclines as us, so we re-started without them. BTW, I played bass guitar, and Rebecca was the lead singer.
Over the next few years, it went very slowly but we started making a little progress. A year and a half ago, we added Lauren, whom I considered the true talent in the band: she sang, played piano, and also the violin. Then, we went through the Spinal Tap phase, as we couldn’t keep a guitarist in the band with duct tape.
Recently, after our drummer, Mi, quit, the three of us met to discuss our future. I was frustrated by the lack of overall effort and decided to disband Chance of Rain. Rebecca, Lauren and I remain friends and we might reunite, we might not. But, I’m not deciding anything for a while, and won’t even think about anything musically until I return from Sweden.
Yes, I do credit him that. His taste in sports teams, though, leaves a little (okay, a lot) to be desired.
Yep, I’m all in favour of that.
Probably none more than this. Maybe one or two, but this is the only one I’ve intentionally stated. Besides, I’ve always wanted to ask a Ask the Montfort thread.
Okay, my question. Why didn’t you just listen to me? I have another one. What’s the difference between a duck? One more. If possible, would you want to know when, where, and how you’re going to die, knowing you could do nothing to stop it?
I’m not sure what peta chips are, but I like the Baked Lays potato chips. My tummy’s a little unstable tonight, so it doesn’t make me hungry like a mention of chips normally would, but as long as it’s vegetarian I’m cool with it.
Nope. The only non-US countries I’ve been in before are: France, The UK (twice), New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland, The Czech Republic, and Canada.
In the original bet thread, I mused that I would do a riff on his smoking meter thread, something like “TIME ELAPSED SINCE THE EAGLES BEAT THE NEW JERSEY GIANTS.” I’m not sure what it would’ve been in the end, but something like what I posted in there was my idea.
I used to have a hermit crab as a pet when I was in sixth grade. For some reason, they were very popular in my middle school, and for an even odder reason, they were allowed in classrooms (we kept them in Dixie cups). They’re cute. But not as cute as grey kittens.
Probably if Bush wins big, and the Republicans get an even larger majority in both houses of Congress. And, if Anniz locks me up, as threatened, I might stay there.
I never listen to people, and my hubris in believing the Eagles could beat the New Jersey Giants came back to bite me in the ass. But, I’m not letting Anniz penetrate it.
Besides, wouldn’t you like the opportunity to compose Satan’s sig?
Between a duck and …?
Sure, I’d love to know. Hopefully it’s not until after the 27th of November, if I can request one aspect of control over the matter.
