Why did you join the SDMB, and why did you want to be a mod? Will you still love me tomorrow? 42? Do you see dead people? ---

What deodorant do you use? What is your dream job? What size shoe do you wear? Do I look fat in these jeans? ---

How would your life been different if you had been born with gills? Would you kill a stranger with a power tool if it would cure cancer? What would be your tool of choice? Do you use the word “whom” in casual conversation? What movie has made you cry? Do you secretly have a deep loathing for people who park their shopping carts in the middle of isles? Have you ever looked at a tree and wondered where your life went? Who was the best Darrin in your opinion? Do you ever lie to total strangers for no reason? How many times do you chew your food before swallowing? Who is your favorite and least favorite poster on the SDMB? What is the least amount of money you would take to scream “We’re running out of air” in a crowded elevator? ---

Do cannibals think clowns taste funny? Does it bother you that doctor’s call what they do ‘practice’? What is the most erotic question you have ever been asked? What matters most in your life right now? What do you daydream about? If you could start today over, what would you do differently? If you are having a bad day, what cheers you up? What is your favorite snack? What compliment have you received lately? Before you drift off to sleep at night, what do you think about? What are you looking forward to tomorrow, this week, this month, this year? If you could spend a day - morning, afternoon, and night- being invisible, what would you do? What time of the year do you like best? Why? What are your favorite smell, sound, and color? What do you like about them? What is your favorite sport? Do you consider yourself lucky? When you want some quiet time alone, to think, where do you go? Why is it a special place? If you opened your mailbox and inside there was a check made out to you for one million dollars, how would you use the money? Do you have a pet? What kind? What’s its name? Are you pierced or tattoo’d? How many of which? That’s all I could think of for now, Abby ---

Well, seeing as I am 'sposed to being go bed…I might as well throw this one out there Euty…what is the circumference (sp) of your penis. Hey, don’t get mad at me, you said, “Ask Me Anything”…you proposed it I asked…now for the answer. \< PS guys, it aint length, it’s girth! \> BTW Euty even if your weiner isn’t huge I know a few women, like me, that don’t give a rat’s ass about that as I am sure you know how to use it…boy I think I went a little over the edge with this one. Sorry Euty, you know I have had a crush on you for forever and a day because you are one of the kindest and most gentle men that exist on this Earth…If God could package you (and you know I mean this) our world would be filled with sweethearts like you that give and always find more ways to give more…remember your friend last December that needed help? It’s men like you that give us all hope that people in this world really give a shit…men like you that work to make a friend’s world a better place, that might actually have something for thieir kids… Sorry for my rambling, Euty seems to me to be one the guys out there that all of us woman strive and want in our lives, he doesn’t give us his suffering but helps us help another through their suffering. I am NOT sucking up to a Mod, I am telling it like it is. Euty you need a special night where you go and get treated like a king for a night and then dancing with some of us that think we know you…anyhow…what I getting at, if ever I can be a friend to you, you have my email address. So I guess I am asking you to call me and tell me how you are. You are one of the few, the proud…oh wait that’s a Marine commercial…you are a great man with a lot to offer many of us. So anyhow, don’t tell me how big your penis is, all I ask is that you call me and be my friend as I think of you that way. So to make a long story short, I am asking not the girth of your penis but you to call me if you need it. Friends are so much in our lives, and I want to continue to be one of those kinds of people in your life. ---

Well, now. I don’t really have a question for you, dear. I just dropped in to say congratulations on 2K. Oh, wait a sec…I DO have one. What kind of present do you want for your 3K party? Because if you answer all these questions, you should be hitting that number about say…next week? Love you dearly, baby. Keep up the good work, both as a mod, and as editor of the Teemings page. You put so much time and energy and love into this board…I appreciate all that you do, and I am willing to bet money that tons of others do, too. (And I am Scottish, and I NEVER bet unless I am already sure that I am correct!) ScottiHugs! Much Love, Cheri ---

Thank you for your prompt answers to my questions, **Euty** (“Woodland Cafe”? Never seen it…was it a Silly Symphony?)…(And I’ve got a copy of The Rescuers with the nude chick too…it’s a crappy 78th generation copy, but you can still see her hoo-hahs). A second set follows! Normally, as a good Doper, I’d never _dream_ of asking these questions, but you said anything, so… [li]Why do we need a hot water heater?

1. What is the proper pronunciation of “Eutychus”? 2. Do gay comedy teams have straight men? Oh, and in case whoever it was was serious about the “Lloyd” thing, it’s Welsh in origin. So there. (And **Euty** : Nash acknowledges in a footnote to that poem the existence of a “three-alarmer”. What a card.) ---
