Yes, in its proper place. Ever played a paper-and-dice RPG? ---

Yes, quite a bit. I usually played the quirky nobleman. Do you play good or evil in games? ---

Invariably good. Someday I gotta play a not-so-nice character. Do you often fly a national flag from your house? ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Do you often fly a national flag from your house? I live in an apartment, so I wouldn’t have the opportunity even if I owned a flag large enough for public display. I do have a small “flag-on-a-stick” on top of my dresser. Speaking of flags, have you ever toured the United Nations headquarters in the New York metropolitan area? ---

Nope, never toured it. Do you skype? ---

Yes, I toured the UN, and was amused to see a wall map with Puerto Rico depicted as an “occupied territory.” I don’t skype. Do you generally approve of the UN’s role in the world today? ---

I don’t really follow what they do and do not approve, so I have no opinion here. Do you have solar panels on your house? (if you have a house) ---

No, and I wouldn’t even know how to install them, or where to look to find out how to install them. Have you ever risked your life for someone else? ---

Yes. Several others and I rushed to help a woman who was getting badly beaten by her drunken boyfriend in the street. This was in London on New Year’s Eve, 20-some years ago. Have you ever been to London? ---

Yep. Was born within a couple hours’ drive and lived there for a time. Are you allergic to stuff? ---

All day today it was raining… no sun. At the moment it’s 4:15am so not much going on now either. Tomorrow is expected to be a continuation of light-moderate showers in my area. Things should clear up later this week. If I’m lucky I’ll get a glimpse of the sun tomorrow or the next day. Do you have Tinnitus? ---

A few times - when I’ve told a blatant lie and it fell on me. Are you a good liar? ---

Yes, providing there are gram crackers, marshmallows and Hershey’s chocolate squares. And a warm, nakedly body of a feminine nature next to me never hurts either. Or rather, only hurts in that good way. 🙂 Have you ever broken anything in anger? ---

Not that I recall. I’ve thrown some small stuff around, though, when I’ve been really pissed off. Do you play a musical instrument? ---

I used to play the clarinette when I was a kid, but I haven’t touched it in over ten years (which everyone thinks is very strange). Do you use a car for most of your transportation needs?
