[QUOTE=DaphneBlack] What is your favourite colour? [/QUOTE] Are we all answering this one? My [del]favourite colour[/del] favorite color is violet. Blue’s nice, too, but purple-y stuff is better. ---

Oh, if we’re all being asked about a favorite color, I’d say that green is my favorite color. But I have a fondness for red, and ice blue has been known to be interesting, too. ---

I have no particular favorite color. I’m more interested in hearing what everyone else’s favorite colors are. If I _had_ to pick, I’d say dark green, though. I found the key lime pie! Mmmmmmmm, it’s good. Anyone else want some? ---

I’ve never had key lime pie before, although I’m a fan of lime food in general. I’d like to know, though, is there a difference between “lime” and “key lime”? ---

Umm,\*\* Kat\*\*, is that in charachter? If not, I hope you’re joking. :o [oog]Huge document due at work on Friday, but I’ll be sure to spend my idle hours at work tomorrow working on figuring out all these quirky quirks. Og knows I should have enough info by now… wish me luck![/oog] ---

Yeah **Santo** , these guests that are still around sure are tough aren’t they. **Kat** made another correction, but she doesn’t seem to do that in every post. Gah. Hey, everyone, I have a great idea for a party game. Let’s play ‘Two Truths and a Lie’. Everyone has to share two things that are true about themselves and one thing that isn’t, and everyone else has to guess. I’ll start: 1. I once met Ben Stein. 2. I’ve never shoplifted. 3. I like to go kayaking. ---

[QUOTE=DaphneBlack] 1. I once met Ben Stein. 2. I’ve never shoplifted. 3. I like to go kayaking. [/QUOTE] Oooh, this is a fun game. I like it! I’m going to guess that your lie is #2. And that you have, in your misspent youth, shoplifted once. For myself: 1. I have been to over 100 different schools. 2. I have partied with Phillip Seymour Hoffman. 3. I have been described in court as a “would-be child molester.” ---

[QUOTE=DaphneBlack] To fellow hosts: I’m currently utterly stumped on: **LHoD** , **Omi no Kami** , **Antinor01** [/QUOTE] Stumped? That reminds of a Nintendo game I played years ago, um… _Harvest Moon!_ Yea, that was the one. Man, when they said “Wouldn’t it be fun to play a farming simulation,” I suspect most of their playerbase responded with “Hell no it wouldn’t”. In spite of that, however, they actually made it extremely fun. I’m not sure why, especially considering how grindtastic portions of it were, but the atmosphere and gameplay in the SNES edition had a certain _Je ne sais quoi_ that made it extremely rewarding. Oh yes, we were talking about stumps, and that’s the really funny thing about this game. You see, they had this Mt. Fuji-style “Climb for hours and barely make it halfway up the damn thing” mountain, on top of which were a whole bunch of trees that regenerated every time you climbed it. The game required an obscene amount of chopped wood to build all the various houses and fences and stuff, and since time stopped at night (goodness knows why), certain enthusiastic players would take to climbing the damn mountain, clearcutting the entire thing, walking off-screen to regenerate the forest, and repeating until they had enough wood to furnish all of their needs. And now I can’t even remember where I was going with this. :smack: Oh yes, and we’re apparently playing two lies, one truth now, so: 1. My high school class once got itself thrown out of a federal courthouse 2. English is not my native language. 3. I earned a pilot’s license before I earned my driver’s license. ---

[oog]Just PMed **fachverwirrt** to see if he’s willing to take on **Mad** ’s quirk. I’m going to be offline thoughout most of the middle of the day, so if he’s game (sic), he’s just going to jump in on it without awaiting my confirmation. ---

Favorite color? I haven’t any – nay, I like them all! Actually, it’s that glow-in-the-dark yellow-green. **OtakuLoki** , I don’t dare touch your 2 truths and a lie. But I think **Omi No Kami’s** is #3. ---

[QUOTE=DaphneBlack] …Hey, **Elendil’s Heir** , awhile back when you looked a bit different, I asked how you felt about your relationship with your mother. I understand if you think that’s too personal, but if not, I’d love to know. [/QUOTE] What can I say, I’m a protean kinda guy! I don’t mind answering your question. But tell me, why is _my_ relationship with _my_ mother important? I’d be more interested in hearing about your feelings for your own. Two truths and a lie, eh? An interesting concept. Could be very revealing. OK, I’ll bite: 1. I really do like key lime pie. 2. My wife and I are both the youngest of three, grew up in small river towns, are Episcopalian, and have lawyers for dads. 3. I can’t stand classical music. ---

Thank you for your welcome. I will act, quirkily, exactly as required. Anything to drink? Perhaps some Jack Daniels? ---

hmmm…two truths and a lie… 1. I have watched the movie “Mildred Pierce” 2. I was the executive producer of “Mommie Dearest” 3. I have watched the movie “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?” What was that about Jack Daniels? I take mine with diet Coke. ---

Is Jack Daniels only not bourbon because it isn’t aged in new, charred oak barrels? From the Wiki: # Bourbon must be made of a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn.[1] # Bourbon must be distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof (80% alcohol by volume). # Bourbon must be 100% natural (nothing other than water added to the mixture). # Bourbon must be aged in new, charred oak barrels.[1] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/party-quirks-ii-electric-boogaloo/456240.md?page=16) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/party-quirks-ii-electric-boogaloo/456240.md?page=18)
