[GAME] Answer to Ask

Answer: Free Bacon for everyone for life? If so, bacon.

Real Answer: Never lied but may have not given the full truth right off the bat!

Ask: What’s a normally offensive smell, activity, etc that you actually enjoy partaking in?

I couldn’t resist. I just discovered a BBC radio program called Dilemma which is built around thorny, hypothetical questions. It could give Skald enough material for years of threads. The quickfire round is for things like “puppies for hands, or kittens for feet?”

And “bacon” was the correct answer.

Still trying to think of anything normally offensive that I enjoy, but if someone else wants to jump in and answer that, be my guest.

Answer: well I already admitted to picking my nose in this thread, so I might just pull that one out again.

Also, for science and the fight against ignorance I once went and smelled my SO’s undies, because there was a thread about how men always seem to be smelling women’s knickers, but not the other way around. Well, it wasn’t too bad. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I “enjoyed partaking” in the smelling. It was a little bit boring, for all the hype. But it wasn’t bad.

Oh, and another one: I like the smelling animals. A stable, or smelling where a fox has been, or a freshly manured field. (OK, foxes are stinky, but it’s interesting, y’know?) I know lots of people find that disgusting.
Ask: Have you ever looked after something for someone and it died? Plant or animal?

Yes, but it was a temp arrangement that lasted several years. Took in my ex’s cats while we were still together and she had here own place but couldn’t have the kitties. Both were rescue cats but from years a part. Same age as far we knew, but I guess the male had a hard life and he just sort of crashed and burned - not sure what to say. Vet said he was all messed up, but I took really good care of them both.

Now there’s just the big part calico part mountain lion I think, female.

Did/will you ever grow up?

Answer: HA! NO! I teach English to very young children. Last week we were doing emotions and feelings, acting them out and generally being silly. Suddenly this little 4 y/o girl puts her hands on her hips, cocks her head and says: “Are you really an adult?!”

And truthfully: no, no I am not. Not really. Sometimes I fake it OK. I wear important looking clothes and go to the bank and act like I know what I’m talking about. Generally I pass. But the kids are totally on to me, you can’t fool them.
Ask: If you could pick one day from when you were a kid and relive that day, what would it be?

One of the days I went to India. We went to Chandigarh, and saw the Rock Garden and the Rose Garden, and had the most wonderful day ever.

Same question - only it’s a day from your teen years. No earlier than 13; no later than 19. What day would you relive?

Answer: I was 14 or 15, and on a class trip to Connecticut. We went to an aquarium and a maritime museum, and had a great time.

Ask: What’s your musical guilty pleasure? (As in, music you’re ashamed to admit you like.)

(And thank you, Anonymous User, for starting this thread. It’s fun. :slight_smile: )

Was this in Mystic? Mystic Aquarium? (I live in CT.)

Answer: one of my favorite types of music is modern romantic (there’s also the kind of romantic that goes back to Dvorak and Schubert orchestral and quartet music in the 1800’s, etc.) I am not ashamed to admit it, but I am a little shy about it. :o

You are welcome.

Ask: what is the worst thing you made your SO after winning a bet?

I looked them both up. They’re both very pretty, but the Rock Garden looks so magical. I’d love to see it sometime. It must be a lovely memory :slight_smile:

I can’t answer this one, I always lose bets to my SO. I just lost one recently because I bet him that our neighbour was going to propose to his gf while on a romantic trip to Berlin. He said obviously not because they went by bus. :confused:

Answer: I made him lick my asshole.

Ask: What’s the most uncomfortable/painful thing you’ve done for the sake of looking good?

Answer: Popped zits and plucked nose hairs.

Ask: If you could go back to any point in your life, and say one sentence to your younger self, what would it be, and when? (bonus points for elaboration)

I would tell my teenage self not to mess with/squeeze zits until they’re ready to be squeezed.
What is your favorite pizza flavor?

Answer: I eat vegan pizza with no cheese, some olives, all kinds of peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms.

Ask: what is the most amount of alcohol you have drank in one session?

Answer: Three Killer Bees and a Kamikaze.

Ask: What is your net worth?

$195K.

How many bones have you broken?

Answer: one - my tooth.

Ask: describe the most embarrassing time you cried in public.

Answer: Literally two nights ago, watching a friend perform a song, reminded my of my very recent ex, shed a few tears… guy I was with? Didn’t take that too well at all! Super embarrassing. Also, cried at work on the boat a few times last time I was out but the few coworkers who saw it more or less pretended it didn’t happen and were supportive. MEN SHOULD NEVER CRY IN PUBLIC, EVER. Someday I hope to be able to hold myself to that reasonably easy standard.

Ask: Do you think less of people who have gotten STDs, even easily treatable ones?

ANSWER: Nope, I realize for many of us, it is just luck of the draw that we haven’t.
ASK: What is the cruelest thing you have done to an animal (excluding hunting)

Answer: Not sure if this counts, because it was an accident. Our old screen door used to swing back hard if you didn’t hold it open. I was letting the dog in the house and let go of the door sooner than I should have. The corner of the door caught her back when she was jumping into the house and took a chunk out of her side. :frowning: I felt so terrible! We ended up bringing her to the vet but he couldn’t stitch it so she had to deal with an awkward bandage and the dreaded cone for while. I still feel guilty to this day when I think about it.

Ask: If you have kids, do you secretly have a favorite? If not, do you think your parents had a favorite?

Answer: no, actually - they don’t have any preference over me or my sister. They treat us equally.

Ask: what is the worst physical punishment you have applied to your children? If you have never used physical punishment on your children, then what’s the worst “normal” punishment your children have gotten from you?
