If you could be in a knockdown, drag-out fistfight with any celebrity, who would it be and why?

It would have to be Paris Hilton, because she is so incredibly air-headed, she annoys the piss out of me.

And , she’s so skinny, I could take her easy. 😃  
Ultrafliter, what is the cruelest thing you have ever done to another person?

And I’d like another truth before heading off to bed please !

Back when I was a lab assistant for my university’s second-semester programming class, we were pretty harsh about requiring comments. In the worst case, a student could lose 20% of the value of an assignment by turning in a piece with no comments.

One student, quite miffed about missing that 20%, turned in his next assignment complete with a comment on every line (including the whitespace) and added a diatribe about our bizarre grading policies and how functionally correct code ought to be worth a perfect score. I wrote him a brief note about the exact value of functionally correct but undocumented code and gave him a 20% penalty for turning in code that was hard to read, as was also allowed under our grading criteria. 😃

If you lost a fistfight against Paris Hilton, how woud you console yourself?

Pointing out two mutually exclusive points of logic in the “motivational” speech of a Maj. General, to his face, while in Basic Training.

Don’t do that, by the way.

Also, I’ll have another truth, if you please. Revealing random bits of personal information to strangers on the internet is the stuff great Saturday nights are made of. 😃

Oooh… good question ! My first instinct was psychic Sylvia Browne, just to sit and talk to her, I think she is facinating!

But I wouldn’t complain about an hour with Orlando Bloom or Keith Urban… and you can use your imagination as to what I’d be doing to either of them ! 😛

Now… I am off to bed but I will play again tomorrow ! This is fun !

C.S. Lewis. There’s a certain book of his I want to argue about with him.

Tell us about the last time you threw a childish temper tantrum or pouted over something.  
And I’d have to say to be writer. I love writing and it’s the only thing I admit to myself that I’m remotely good at.

This August, when it became clear that my financial aid was messed up in some way previously unknown. Luckily it was a private tantrum.

Great. I’m pretty sure that, when it comes to this, inquiring minds are most enthusiastic about NOT wanting to know. But hey, I don’t mind telling, and I’ll spoilerize it to spare the hearts and minds of the innocent.

When I was a kid, I used to do it by rubbing against the bed. I grew out of that, but years of doing it that way does leave one sensitized in certain areas and less so in others. So, what I do these days is wrap my hand in some sort of soft cloth (easier than keeping lube around), cup my palm, and kind of go to town onto that. Similar to the old method, but can be done in an upright (or any other) position.

Satisfied? :dubious:
