Every opinion I have is my own. Every opinion I have is subject to change without notice. If you think my opinion is incorrect, change it with facts (citations needed). Be kind. Be cool. Be yourself.

  • Have you ever cried over a celebrity or complete strangers death, why?

    Jump

  • Freddie Mercury.

    Diana Spencer.

    Robin Williams.

  • If you were stuck on a deserted island and coulc only listen to 4 artist music, who would you choose?

    Jump

  • Queen Pink Floyd Dire Straits Sting/Police

  • Deleted

    Jump

  • Minecraft.

    If I'm feeling particularly antisocial I'll play Angband or Umoria.

  • How do you find meaning in life?

    Jump

  • I think B.B. King has the solution:

    I've got a good mind to give up on living and go shopping instead.

  • I always have a screen protector. I prefer glass; I'm not a fan of the plastic ones. I pay to have it installed, that way it has to be installed perfectly or they do it again until they get it right.

    I've broken a couple of screen protectors, but never a screen... Except for the time I accidentally stood on my 7" Nexus tablet, which wouldn't have been saved by a screen protector, anyway.

    If babies can suck milks out of breasts, why can’t a grown man blow them up like balloons?

  • Breasts are not like a bladder filled with liquid. It's more like a dense sponge; so you can squeeze liquid out, but you can't inflate a sponge.

  • One of the first games I ever played (and it was definitely the first game I tried to cheat/hack) was Bard's Tale (the original) which is set in Skara Brae.

  • When I was young I was all about black. Not goth or emo, but I only really had black clothing and would take the un-coloured option every time. Now that I'm in my late 40s, I really love green. The bright green of spring grass on a sunny day, because the tans and browns of Australian summer and autumn and the greys of winter really wash out the palette of the countryside and the olive greens and blues of eucalyptus are dull, muted colours. My clothes are a lot more colourful, now, too.

  • What's the longest you've been without power?

    Jump

  • When I was eleven (1988) we moved to a rural property with no power. I left when I was eighteen... So.. Seven years.

  • Use for empty small propane tanks?

    Jump

  • Dude. Literally the first sentence of the body text...

  • Do you have any tips or tricks to fall asleep?

    Jump

  • Specifically the jaw.

    I found that I was unconsciously clenching my jaw and would lie awake for hours. Once I started consciously unclenching I would fall asleep really quickly.

  • Which fictional character's death affected you most?

    Jump

  • Joyce Summers. That episode of Buffy was a masterpiece.

  • What's that Christmas/Holiday song that's your jam - and what's the song you must turn off?

    Jump

  • I'm a big queen fan and I love Thank God it's Christmas. I also love Jona Lewie's Stop The Cavalry, which isn't really a Christmas song, but only gets played at Christmas. Bing Crosby's White Christmas is my favourite traditional recording. Feliz Navidad by Jose Feliciano needs to be binned forever.

  • For future reference, and to keep you out of jail, always ask for consent before physical contact. Asking may seem awkward, or counterintuitive, but it removes doubt. Also, 'no' means 'no', and no reason or explanation is necessary.

  • What's your go-to song to soothe you?

    Jump

  • The album August and Everything After by Counting Crows.

    What food do you think is healthy or at least "fortifying" despite lacking any evidence to prove it?

    Jump

  • I was like "WTF? I've never even heard of beef tea and I've lived in Victoria my whole life!" Then I clicked the link. 🤦

  • What are your favorite examples of 'media within media' (e.g., shows, stories, or movies inside of other shows or books)?

    Jump

  • Good Morning Glipglorp! From the Androids and Aliens podcast by the Glass Cannon Network. It was a random bit of world-building that the players latched on to and ran with and it turned into a whole episode.

  • What movie did you watch as I kid which you shouldn't have?

    Jump

  • An American Werewolf in London.

    I stayed up watching it on my brother's black and white TV. My parents had no idea. I nearly shit the bed afterward when my brother jumped on me in the dark and yelled "raaaah."

  • Should one say "too many refried beans", or "too much refried beans"?

    Jump

  • It depends on whether you're referring to individual refried beans or the dish 'refried beans' as a whole.

    If it's the former, it would be 'too many' (individual) refried beans.

    If it is the latter, it would be 'too much' (of) refried beans... Unless you had multiple servings, in which case it would be 'too many' (servings of) refried beans.

    That is my opinion: as such it is subject to change should further information come to light.
