We don't even have that bike in America. We have the ST1300 and Gold Wing (which has an 1832 cc flat six. Can you say Accord with two wheels?)

Myself? Non-insect, non-fish? No.

Have you ever bought something from a person you thought you knew, and got burned?

Yes........a seagull landed in my lane and lifted off too late, and I was going 70km.......about 3 weeks ago....I thought he bounced off, and drove the remaining 15 minutes home....and stopped for smokes at the gas station, totally forgetting about the seagull....I got home, remembered and checked out the damage to my van, and the sucker was still stuck to my bumper....imagine what the people in the gas bar, and in my townhouse complex think now when they see me coming......I had to kick the sucker off with my toe and put him in a plastic bag..........couldn't get his wings in, and I was trying to be quick and discreet so none of the other mothers in my 'hood would see.....what a nightmare......also...those things are a lot lighter than they look.
Intentionally......no i haven't.

Have you ever pretended you were the babysitter when a telemarketer phones?

That and a few other things that freaked them out... ;)

I was younger and seeking the entertainment value....

If you met a new potential mate who hated your pet, would you dump them?

them? the pet and the mate?

I would tell the mate to deal with it or piss off.

Would you trade the past 10 years of your life (ie: your memories) if it meant avoiding immenant death?

No. While I don't look for death, when it's your turn, that's it. Plain and simple. The only way to cheat the Grim Reaper is to somehow achieve immortality. Otherwise, your physical existence on this particular plane is definitely finite.

Do you think you could shoot someone you encountered in your home if you "knew" that individual had absolutely no business being there?

No, not unless it was clearly evident that they posed a physical threat to me or someone else within the home.

If you knew with certainty a family member had badly harmed someone would you turn them in?

If you knew with certainty a family member had badly harmed someone would you turn them in?

It depends.....if it was in say a drunken fight, where both were being idiots and the other guy just happend to get the worse of it probably no......

But anyother type of violent harm i can come up with, definately yes, for sure.

Have you ever lied about your wieght?

No...err...yes....gah!...not really...

Have you ever taken time off from work due to an embarrassing medical condition?

Yes. (hernia surgery)

Have you ever walked out on your job (quitting "on-the spot")?

Doesn't have quite the same ring to it. Got very attached to Suzuki bandits, until a certain accident turned my bike fund into a car fund. parents for you...

Have you ever walked out on your job (quitting "on-the spot")?

Nope. I gave the proper notice and refrained from shouting 'so long, suckers!' when I left.

Have you ever had a close encounter with a dangerous, man-eating animal/plant?

Yes, I once stepped on an alligator I mistook for a log in the Everglades. I had gone down to the canal to look for alligators, but couldn't see well because of the bushes, so I stepped out on a handy log. The log started moving into the water, and I made great haste back onto land. I'm not sure which of us was more scared.


Have you ever taken something apart to see how it worked, and then not been able to reassemble it?

The first automatic transmission I ever tackled continued its' existence as a boat anchor, and a rather poor one at that. I've managed to turn more than one perfectly functional watch into a pile of useless junk as well.

Do you play a musical instrument?

Just my organ :D

Have you ever gotten someone's phone number while out on a date with someone else?

Well my dates usually consist of going to the movies and skipping dinner, so I really haven't had the chance.

Would you attempt to be the first person to go around the Earth in a canoe for $50,000? The trip will be all paid for, you just have to come up with the time.

Absolutely not. I wouldn't attempt that for $50,000,000.

Would you have unprotected sex with this chick:

For $5,000.00 in cash?

I just did. Where's my $5K??


You need a tool, just for one little household job. Nobody you know even owns one, nor does the local rent-all have one. Nothing else made will substitute. The local home center stocks the tool, but it is pretty expensive and only good for that one thing. Do you buy it, use it and then return it for a refund when the job has been completed?

I buy it, and then rent it out to others who need it myself.

What was your favorite game as a child?

Doctor ... and cards.

Where's the most unique spot you've ever engaged in lovemaking?

On a picnic bench in the park.

Coca Cola or Pepsi?

Coke.

Do you or your family subscribe to a newspaper?

Yes, we get on everyday.

Did you or do you want to go to college?

<sarcasm>Oh heavens no, college is a horrible place, why would I want to get an education?</sarcasm>

Do you realize that Pepsi and Coke taste nearly exactly the same?

Yes, I do. Put I still prefer Pepsi.

Pepsi sucks. Goddamned sugar water. Coke all the way...

Yes

(assuming that this thread has moved outside of the yes/no boundaries)

Pepsi and coke dont taste the same else the entire Pepsi challenge wouldnt have worked. Pepsi tastes nicer though for some random reason im drawn to drink coke.

Pepsi Max however is just wrong... wrong wrong wrong.

Q: Would you leave your country to marry and live with the women/man of your dreams

In theory, yes, but tell me...what country are we talking about here - England, France, Germany, or someplace awful like North Korea or Rwanda?

If someone offered you 5,000,000 British pounds, would you attempt swimming the English channel alone with no assistance?

If someone offered you 5,000,000 British pounds, would you attempt swimming the English channel alone with no assistance?

Sure, but it would be a suicide attempt!

Given the opportunity, would you accept an invitation to sing the Star Spangled Banner solo at the opener of the World Series?

No. My best attempt would sound worse than Roseanne Barr, and I wouldn't want to listen to the criticism afterward.

If you could go back in time, who would you visit?

If you could go back in time, who would you visit?

Myself - my younger self could benefit from a bit of gentle redirection to encourage better choices in life's decisions, and a set of winning lotto numbers from a variety of states to make growing older just a bit easier.

Could you remain celibate for 10 years for a payoff of $1 million?

Yes. Where was that option when I was in high school?

Will I be able to think of a decent question to ask?

Holy Hell, I agree with you on one issue! Coca Cola beats Pepsi (poser child) all the way!.

And Borg, they don't taste the same, actually.

Do you think Vile intentionally forgot to ask a question?

Nah, pure accident.

Do you think Pope Benedict XVI will measure up to Pope John Paul II.

What does it matter - they're both elected politicians.

Does anyone else here think the Catholic Church is chalked full of hypocrisy?

They have their faults....as do we all.

Does "what does it matter"equal a yes or no answer?

How do you qualify "measure up"? If you mean there will be less boy fondling under Benedict MCMXCVIII than John Paul, then I say kudos to the new CEO.

Benedict the 1998th?

:D

Oh, I don't know - they make up their "papal" name, so I thought I could do the same. You know, as kind of a favor to Roman Catholics everywhere, I'd inflate the perceived importance because he quit at 14. Slacker.

Fourteen is the prime age for boy fondling.

"Fourteen is the prime age for boy fondling."

Not for me thanks, I'll keep to my heterosexual self and pester women nearer my own age.

"Fourteen is the prime age for boy fondling."

If you could choose to die rich or happy would you choose happy over rich?

If you could choose to die rich or happy would you choose happy over rich?

My last will and testament should end with: " ... and in good conscience, I spent it all! Let no one cry but the bill collectors & insurance companies! Not a one of you listening to this owe a dime. " Dead broke & happy. That's the way to go.

As we're sorta into a morbid mood, when the time comes, have you decided to have yourself cremated?

Yes, and my ashes sprinkled short, right, and out of bounds on a particular golf hole (that I seem to be "drawn" to that area - mystically).... LOL

Do you want an open casket at a funeral home? (keeping on the morbid theme). BTW I want lots of people to say that I look "natural" - meaning that I always looked dead.

Yes, and I want the mortician to fix my arms sort of upraised, and my hands in a claw-like state to make it look like I was trying to scrabble my way out...

Would you like to have lots of people attend your funeral?

no. just the priest, my next door neighbor, and a hotdog guy.


Long and boring life or live fast and die young?

LOL, that should make for some interesting conversation....

Yes, but only if they are laughing and having a good time (an Irish wake?). I always have felt that death was just the beginning of a new journey (don't tell Blob though.... :D )

If it is true that you life "flashes before your eyes" before you die, would your personal "movie" be sad, happy, or what?

:: OldPhart is too ssssllllooowww of a typist, sorry, I was responding to Vile's question::

Attendance at a funeral is more for the living than the dead. It may add comfort to those who miss me the most to see a good showing. As I won't be there, it doesn't matter.

You pick up your snail mail, and while sorting you come upon a very official & formal looking envelope addressed to you. Opening it reveals a letter head from a very large & impressive looking legal firm announcing that you are the recipient of a paternity suit and are being sued for child support and such. You're completely blindsided by this. Question: given your activities of the past year, is such a senario possible?

No. I shall defend myself vigorously.

While in England touring Buckingham Palace, a very official looking person comes up to you and says that you have been randomly chosen to have an audience with the Queen. He also explains that protocol demands that you bow when you meet her. Do you bow?

Absolutely. You're in her 'house'. What reason could one possibly have for not following a few basic rituals, other than seeking to be the latest horses ass in the media?

Typically, while riding an elevator, folks face forward and ignore one another. Could you stand at the front of the car & face everyone?

Yes and check people out with no problem...

You're sick in hospital. Regardless of your sex would it bother you to have a male nurse bathe you?

Not really, at least not as much as it would bother me to have no one bathe me.

Would you cheat on an important test in school if you needed to pass it to graduate, and you had not studied? Assume that you thought you could get away with it.

No.

I would want to, and I would contemplate it but in the end I wouldn't do it. Cheaters may win but it chips away at their integrity so the price paid is too high.

If you could take a paid leave of absence from work in order to help AIDS children in Africa, would you realistically (mentally and emotionally) be able to so so for a month or two.

Yeah, I could do that. I have an extensive medical & psychiatric background, much of it while serving 20 years active military service.

Your significant other is away and you're enjoying some quality 'alone' time. Unexpectedly, you meet someone and within a matter of hours have become a member of the 'nooner' society. In all acutality, this is honestly a one time event for you, and circumstances are such that you'll not see your impromptu partner anytime soon, if ever again. Although not partucularly troubled by guilt, you are wrangling with yourself over sharing the experience verbally with your significant other, or just keeping it to yourself. So: do you share with your Significant Other?

aaaaahh...I wish I could say the same thing...the thought of it petrifies me...yet I think someday I may be able to. My partner and I have talked about it, but it scares the crap out of me. Then again, he is my home so whereever he is I feel safe.

Maybe one day.

Back to your question: I would like to say it would never happen since I love this man more than life. He is my heart and soul and my very breath. Now having said that, I am human and "shit happens".

Therefore

Yes, I would tell him because not to tell would be the beginning of the end of the relationship.

Secrets kill trust and all any relationship is based on ultimately is trust. If one can not trust another, you are done. period.

Along the same line....

If your partner told you they had slipped and had a fling, would you end your relationship with them, or hang in there and try to find out what went wrong and what your contribution to the fling was?

While I've not had an "open" relationship with anyone, I've never allowed the 'bonds of matrimony' to be a noose. I would expect my partner to be as understanding of my escapades as I would hope to be with theirs.

It's Saturday afternoon, and time to hit the mall / shopping center. Lots of traffic, parking lots pretty full. You turn down the next lane only to see a SUV backing out of a primo spot, with another car facing yours already waiting for the spot - their turn signal is on. The SUV backs out, blocking the waiting car & waits for you to pull in. Do you grab it?

No. I'll curse to myself and hate the car that got the good spot, but I'd let the waiting guy get it. I'm a fairly courteous driver. (Though, if the guy waiting had no turn signal...then sorry, dude, I'm not a mind reader.)

Another driving question. Do you use your turn signals when changing lanes? (A horrendously high number of people do not.)

Yes. I like my car, and desire not to have it smashed due to my stupidity.

Have you ever driven a car when you knew you were too intoxicated to do so legally?

Technically no, in that I didn't know I was too intoxicated until I got home. When I got into bed my head started spinning. Thankfully I only drove five blocks.

If a woman challenged you to a fight (and you're a man) would you fight her?

No. I'm not about to engage in fisticuffs with a woman.

If your company opened a branch in China, would you accept assignment there for 1 year?

Yes. It would be interesting to live there for a year.

if your spouse wanted to take 3 months off to travel and see the world with their friends would you say yes if they wanted to go without you?

No, let them clean their own buildings. I want to live. Besisdes bloodstains are a pain in the ass.

If there were a $1000 bill in the polar bear cage at the zoo, would you reach in to grab it?

Of course!!!

Do you pick up spare quarters in pop machines?

Hell yeah! Who doesn't?

Have you ever Xeroxed your butt?

No.

Have you ever vomited after being on a ride at an amusement park?

No.

Would you keep a reptile as a pet?

Yes. For a couple of years I had a chameleon that I put in my houseplants. I never had any insect problems.

Have you ever flattened a penny on the railroad tracks?

No. But I have one that suffered that fate.

If you noticed a dollar on the ground with a string attached to it, would you quickly try to pick it up?

Yes, I would step on the string and then pick it up.

Would you publicly disavow your religous beliefs for a million dollars?

Would you publicly disavow your religous beliefs for a million dollars?

Absolutely. What the hell ... I've done it free for decades.

Could you shoot and kill another individual, assuming you're not in a war?

No. I couldn't do it even if I was in a war.

Have you ever had an out-of-body experience?

Yes. shrooms are wonderful


do you lick and lick lolipops or crunch into them?

Yes.

Do you love the smell of newly mowed grass?

Yes.

Is the beauty of Spring worth the allergies?

spring is overrated. no.

have you ever gone singin' in the rain?

No.

Have you ever considered elective plastic surgery?

Yes absolutely. I would be unwilling to experience one millisecond of guilt over a possession owned by someone I disliked. Now would I be tempted to rip the money in half and disappear it...yeah,...but I wouldn't...

Would you be willing to defend someone you disliked if you thought the accuser wrong?

Yes, it's a character flaw I have (momma hen syndrome.....LOL)

Would you adopt a retarded child (from your extended family) to keep it from being institutionalized (in a state home)?

No. A developmentally disabled / mentally retarded child is more of a handful than I'm willing to take on unassisted. Group homes are much more prepared to not only care for these individuals, and work with them with a goal of eventually (depending upon the individuals's station in life) becoming more independent. To often I see MR/DD's in the company of an aging parent, and the question that comes to my mind is what happens to that person when their parent dies?

Would you be willing to donate a kidney to an individual completely unknown to you?

yes

Do you have children?

No. Im still a child myself.

Do you like our president?

No.

Do you like either major party?

No.

Would you consider starting your own political party, a party that would seriously offer an alternative to the complete assholes found equally in both camps now?

Even though I am Canadian, I am going to answer this because our system here is equally corrupt....

No

Because the system is so large that in order to become a part of it one must adjust oneself. In order to do that, one must be willing to bend to the system. The system is corrupt and totally self-perpetulizing... It is bigger and more corrupt than the sum of it's parts. It will destroy an honest man.

Would you be willing to change yourself in order to have the "perfect life partner"?

Sure...a perfect life partner changes everything.:)

Would you break the law if you had a "Get out of Jail Free" card?

Daily!

In your everyday behaviors, do you break the law, without fear of apprehension by the local kops?

Yes, I usually drive faster than the speed limit by a few miles per hour.

If someone was trying to establish a theocracy in the U.S. would you take up arms to prevent it?

Depends on how severe it was.

If G.W. overthrew the govt. would you take up arms to prevent it?

NO

If you could be a bird, and fly for a day, would you?

I don't know about being a bird, but I would def. want to fly.

Would you or have you base jumped?

Thirty years ago, probably. I've jumped out of perfectly good airplanes, so, why not?

Would you go over Niagara Falls in a "barrell"?
