Ritual suicide by disembowelment is what I meant. I probably don’t want to know what she meant. I know very little about hentai, and I am reluctant to Google.
At least tell me the counting to five was right!

Well, anyone could miss Canada tucked away down there like it is.
Then I’m screwed. I’m lucky if I’m batting .500 at this point.
Really? I know the point is to ask the young lady challenging questions, but asking her about Jack Benny’s girlfriend is ridiculous. It’s like asking you about 1910 vaudeville shows.
Six pages and no one jumped on this? W.H. Auden, not Yeats. (I’ll admit I only know this from Four Weddings And A Funeral.)
I’m impressed and a bit bemused by what you do and don’t know, Purin. You don’t know that the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, but did get the correlation/causation joke from xkcd. An eclectic mind you have there, kiddo. Don’t sweat not knowing the answers to all these questions. You clearly have a curious mind, and that’s the important part. The rest will follow.
Okay, try these:
The Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses are part of what? What right do they protect?
What is the Mason-Dixon line, and where is it located?
What is the cause of summer and winter, and why when it is winter in the U.S., it’s summer in Australia?
What famous poet wrote the line “Because I could not stop for Death/Death kindly stopped for me”? (Bonus poetry question: who and what are archy and mehitabel?)
What is iambic pentameter, and who most famously used it?
Rank these three in order of size, from smallest to largest: proton, molecule, atom. (Bonus: add quark to the list.)
What genre of literature was Matsuo Basho known for?
What religions are each of these books associated with: The Talmud, the Koran, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Tao Te Ching?
cough “He kindly stopped for me”. Curious about the bonus question, too, as I have no idea.
Thanks! That’s the danger of quoting from memory.
As for the bonus question, the answer is [spoiler]archy and mehitabel are characters created by the early twentieth-century poet Don Marquis. archy is a free verse poet who was reincarnated as a cockroach and mehitabel is an alley cat who claims to have been Cleopatra. Marquis’ conceit was that he left a sheet of paper in his typewriter and archy typed him a poem by jumping and falling headfirst onto the keys. He obviously couldn’t use the shift key, so there was no punctuation or capitalization. I thought if Purin knows e.e. cummings, she might know Marquis.
It’s great stuff, funny but deep, and tinged with a bit of melancholy. Marquis is definitely worth a look.[/spoiler]
The ones my dog could get are all either “Rough” or “Ruff”… 
Alright, I’ll join in with a few…
- Name four woodwind instruments
- In music, what are the names of the two most commonly used clefs.
- Name three of the four poisonous snakes found in North America (in the wild).
- How do you tell the age of a tree?
- How do you identify a Black Widow?
Hey! Don’t think we’ve forgotten about you just because the thread slipped off the radar! >:|
