the Puget sound
Least favorite thing that occurs at sea
Typhoons
least favorite horn
The trumpet belonging to that idiot high school kid who used to practice at 6:30 am with his window opened.
Least favorite New Age trend.
All of this “Indigo Child” stuff, which just strikes me as the most pretentious thing imaginable, to play your kid up as some sort of Starseed (another similar concept/conceit).
Least fave religious ritual you’ve participated in
Buddhist Life Planning - I went to the service in hopes of getting some meditation tips, but they started handing out life planning charts, and that struck me as a little too cultish, so I bailed.
least favorite Doper sig
Caminandocuevro
Least favorite animal with whiskers.
Humans, by far.
Least favorite laundry soap.
Gain Spring Lavender.
Least favorite magazine that buys paparazzi photos.
National Inquirer
LF thing to have go wrong with your car that is still fixable, and doesn’t mean you need a new car.
A dead battery. Common in winter locally, especially if your battery is old. Yes, you can call for a boost, but that takes time, and you’re still going to be late for work.
Least favorite vegetable you were forced to eat as a child?
Brussels Sprouts.
Least favorite historical time/place you studied in history at school.
Revolutionary War - It wasn’t really anything glorious or heroic. It was the first time I realized war wasn’t about good vs evil. It’s mainly hubris and who has the bigger dick.
Least favorite thing to see first thing in the morning
Cat puke.
Least favorite thing about your job.
I keep dreaming about it (I’ve been retired for decades)
Least favorite constellation.
Mensa. Saw it (well as much as I can for one with no stars brighter than magnitude 5). Dumb name too, ironically enough.
Least favorite evening spent in the wilds. [Yes, bugs/snakes/weather/everything, do tell]
First night of Basic Training FTX, when we got awakened every 2 hrs for duty. Sometimes it was 2 hrs lying in wet leaves trying to doze secretly on your rifle, while your head was propped with your helmet, so the DSs wouldn’t notice (they were all actually sleeping). Sometimes it was patrol. It was always cold, and you’d just get back to sleep when they woke you up again; plus, my tentmate snored.
Second night, we were three to a tent, and I was in the middle. Slept like a rock.
Least favorite roommate experience.
I was living in the spare bedroom of my friend and his girlfriend’s place. Then they broke up and she moved out, then later broke back in and stole all of our stuff.
Least favorite dental procedure
Getting braces removed. There’s really no describing it for people who have not been through it. Let’s just say I have also had a root canal, and I didn’t pick that.
Least favorite serial killer.
Robert Pickton. Charged with the murders of 26 women, he would end up confessing to killing 49. Buried the bodies on his farm.
Least favorite font?
Gigi
Least favorite pickup line.
