Answer: I don’t know the first time I got drunk, like drunk off my ass. But the day I turned 21 I got a long island ice tea and a mojito (and I never drank before that except on special occasions and in small amounts with parental permission). But I definitely got a buzz off of those two drinks on that birthday! Ask: When was the last time you vomited from drinking too much, and when was the last time you vomited from just being sick, motion sick, etc. Have you vomited more from alcohol or for other reasons, cumulatively? ---

Answer: I’ve never barfed from drinking too much. I last barfed from being sick about two years ago; some kind of nasty stomach bug. Ask: Do people often ask you how to spell long or tough words? > [@Mr\_Nobody](#): > > Answer: You will find them in the last place you look… I will sometimes look in one more place after finding something, just to disprove that axiom. ---

Answer: I’m the go-to guy in my group for spelling and math. Madame Pepperwinkle had a T-shirt made for me for when I help her at Sci-Fi conventions (she makes miniature dragons and such) that reads: “Minion 2.1, now with spell check and calculator apps.” Ask: How often do you stop to appreciate your loved ones? ---

> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > Ask: How often do you stop to appreciate your loved ones? Answer: all the time! I love it. I love bragging about the people I love as well. My SO is wonderful in so many ways. Yesterday I was feeling down and he made me chocolate mousse. Unreal! And my baby sister, she has the best sense of humour. My papa just put on his fb how proud he is of my mum because her Dutch is so much better than the Dutch of Princess Maxima (who is Argentinian, but has been here 10 years). I thought: Yeah! That’s my mama, better than a princess any day! 😃 I stop to appreciate them all the time. Ask: Who is proud of you? Or who _would be_ proud of you? ---

Answer: Something by Bach or Vivaldi, maybe? (Here’s a favorite of mine: [- YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ9qWpa2rIg)). But I could probably think of an older one if I really thought about it. Ask: What song that was released in the last year are you really diggin’? ---

> [@Meatros](#): > > Q: What’s the one thing you wish you could master but even after a few attempts you just can’t? any musical instrument. I have no eye-hand coordination and even after years of practice still have to translate written notes to the mental fingering patterns. I should probably try playing by ear and maybe someday I’ll buy a decent ax and give that a try. I’ve always wanted a soprano saxophone. What do you consider a comfortable room temp (pls translate to F if you use C) ---

Answer: Madame Pepperwinkle makes a French Silk Pie that is so good that when she makes one, she always has to make two. Because I **will** eat one all by myself. It’s about the only time I make a pig of myself. Ask: If you could go back in time to anywhere and anywhen before you were born (and had a universal translator), where would you go first? ---
