Meg if I can use Jack’s dick. :smiley:

Have you ever flat out hallucinated, whether from illness (fever, psychosis, etc), drugs or ‘other’. Details regarding cause is optional, trip itinerary is not.

Sorry, guys, I was on a posting sabbatical for 11 days so I couldn’t post. Anyways:

Answer: actually no I have not.

Ask: what is one mistake you keep on making over and over again.

Answer: Hurting people I fall in love with :frowning:

Ask: Do you want to have kids? If you already have kids, did you really look forward to having them and are you glad you did? How many, and why?

Answer: Yes, I always wanted to have kids. I have one. She’s an incredible joy to me. Due to physical limitations on my wife’s part, we couldn’t have more, but I would have wanted and welcomed as many as I could have.

Ask: At what moment did you truly realize that you were mortal?

I was lying in bed one day in my early 30s and thinking thoughts about life as I was winding down. I realized all of the sudden that someday I will die, and what will that be like and then what??! I realized as soon as you exist you will die, and I realized it was another reason I couldn’t have a kid – I can’t be responsible for them being created and then dying. The feeling has worn off but it was quite a shock for a while.

What’s the most valuable inanimate object you have damaged or ruined, and how did it happen?

Answer: my violin. I was holding it and I dropped it so it hit the leg of my music stand - literally punched a hole in my violin! My parents were pissed and we had to use a piece of wood to cover it because my teacher said it was affecting the sound and tone of my instrument.

Ask: if you were sitting in a movie theater, and there was an empty seat on both sides of you and five rows of crap seats in the front, and a couple came in 5 minutes after the movie started and asked if you could move so they could sit there together, would you oblige? :wink: here

Answer: (first off, Congratulations on your 1,000th post!) I would move; I have moved; I’ve been told I’m too nice a guy.

Ask: What is the fanciest food dish you have ever prepared?

I made a very good, very elaborate seafood risotto for company once.

It was my best work ever… but a) we don’t do fancy dinner parties any more, and b) the ingrdients (including lobster) were rather expensive, so I cxouldn’t afford to make it more than once in a blue moon anyway.

Name a book, album or movie you once thought was brilliant that you now look at and wonder “What was I thinking?”

Answer: Gary Jennings’s historical novel Aztec is big, meticulously researched and a lot of fun to read. I once thought it was a towering achievement of Western civilization - I now understand that although it remains one of my favorite books, it ain’t all that.

Answer: the Athenians. I want to see Socrates, hence my signature.

Ask: Goundhogs: luv 'em or hate 'em?

Answer: I don’t think I’ve ever seen them in real life, but they look sweet and furry. Is there any reason not to like them? We don’t get them here, so I’ve no idea if they’re a pest or anything. I say luv 'em.
