What are your plans for the weekend?

miss buenos aires · Post by **miss buenos aires** » Fri Jul 23, 2004 11:08 am

I'm going to Montreal! For a week.

Two questions, because I am the Question Queen:

Would you ever (have you ever) posted a photograph to one of those "Hot or Not?" sites?

How do you motivate yourself to do things?

marblefaun · Post by **marblefaun** » Fri Jul 23, 2004 11:52 am

I would never post myself on those sites. Everyone is going to have an opinion and why invite the aggravation?
I motivate myself to do things I really don't feel like doing (because the things you really like to do never need motivation finding) by just shutting off the thought process.

PS..Hi everyone, I'm new here...

Would you ever (have you ever) posted a photograph to one of those "Hot or Not?" sites?

Ooops...my question...

This one goes out to the curly haired gals or guys:

How do you deal with keeping your hair from frizzing into a fuzzy pyramid in the humidity?

CopeFan has the answer to your question, Marblefaun.

Cope, I believe, shaves various parts of his body, including (but not limited to) his head.

I don't fully rinse out the conditioner (Body Shop Brazil Nut something or other), and then I use KMS Curl Up spray. Available at any Duane Reade.

exactly.

how do we motivate the question queen to ask another?

miss buenos aires · Post by **miss buenos aires** » Fri Jul 23, 2004 3:03 pm

By using her proper title, thank you, oily.

What CDs do you put on when you can't sleep? I'm looking for soothing here, not boring.

-and-

Who will miss me the very most when I am away next week?

love's illusion - the anonymous four
we play sade's lovers rock for the kiddies
wait, maybe it's love's allusion. hum. can't remember.
and miss ba, the question should be who will not miss you the most.

why do i seek out a paradoxical existence?

miss buenos aires · Post by **miss buenos aires** » Fri Jul 23, 2004 3:53 pm

Because you are vast, you contain multitudes.

Do you see yourself as the nurturing type?

-and-

Would you drive 100 miles to see someone you liked, but hardly knew?

firebetty · Post by **firebetty** » Fri Jul 23, 2004 3:59 pm

1) as much as i am self-centered,
2) i wish i was.

are you a donut?

I was, but now I come from Berlin.

Is it bad manners to ask to be set up by (good) female friends?

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Sat Jul 24, 2004 5:17 pm

I've already told you no, crow, and that I would set you up if you were a little closer to where I live.

The girls here would dig your accent.

And to bring forward a question from the question queen which no one answered earlier,

Would you drive 100 miles to see someone you liked, but hardly knew?

Yes, and I have done it - several times. Never really had any regrets, either.

Have you ever snooped through the house of a friend?

Goody2Shoes · Post by **Goody2Shoes** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 7:44 am

No, no, never, ever!! There are some things that maybe you don't want to know about your friends. Or maybe I just don't have a burning need to know things that my friends would rather keep private. I have a great respect for privacy.

Coffee black or with cream?

Copenhagen Fan · Post by **Copenhagen Fan** » Mon Jul 26, 2004 2:22 am

BLACK like my women!

Anybody want to date a hot ex. stripper? (Maybe we'll see if LaughingCrow will drive several hundred miles for someone he has not met).

Well, on the basis that you are not referring to yourself then the answer is "Sorry, I am a happily married man" But I have a "friend" who may be interested

What is the next concert you are attending?

What is the most embarrasing thing you have ever said in public?

From a previous post:

I was at the supermarket with the man of the house. We had finished shopping and were standing in line at the checkout when I realized I had forgotten something trivial, frozen peas or something. Went back to get them, and on the way back to our spot in line, I got very absorbed in one of the tabloids at the checkstand. I threw my peas into the buggy and gave my husband a big, two-handed butt-grope, complete with sound effects. The nice gentlemen whom I had just violated turned out to be not my husband, but a dead-ringer, from behind anyway, and said, more politely than I deserved, "Did you want to get in line ahead of me, or something?"

Panic-stricken, I yelled at him, yes, yelled at him, as if it were his dirty fault "You're not my husband!" and then added grievous insult to nasty injury by punching him in the arm. I couldn't even apologize to the guy, who took it all in stride, and was laughing at me along with everyone within earshot of the incident. I collected my peas from his buggy, handed them to my husband , summoned whatever shred of dignity I had left, and calmly left the store. Couldn't go back for weeks.

I left it out of the story the first time, but I whispered something exceedingly filthy in his ear as I was groping, regarding some at-home activities in which I wanted to engage him.

It happened probably 10 years ago, and it still makes me cringe to think about it. And though Dark Stranger was the only one who heard it, I think it meets the test of "public".

Are you afraid to drink the tap water in your area?

laughingcrow · Post by **laughingcrow** » Mon Jul 26, 2004 3:42 pm

No, but I think it may be afraid of me....

Funny story about water came up the other day with my gang of pseudo-intellectual drunks. A friend of a friend has a house up in the north of Scotland, in one of the places where they get all that mountain spring bottled water. Some people moved in next door fresh from england, and after a few weeks the family went round to their new neighbours for a small gathering. They looked in the fridge, and saw a large collection of bottled water. Conversation continued along the lines of...

"See this? You know where they get this water"
"No"
"There!" (pointing out the back window)

Madness!

Do you think that apart from a love of EC, there is something else that draws us here to post on this site, that we all have in common? (no obvious answers like 'we're all composed of atoms' or something!

)

Gillibeanz · Post by **Gillibeanz** » Tue Jul 27, 2004 4:53 am

Goody thats funny! Must be a woman thing. Not too long ago I was happily sailing around the supermarket filling up my trolley which was nearly full when I glanced into it and said to my partner "why have you put all those in?" He gave me a puzzled look and replied "I didnt!"

Turns out I had nabbed someone elses trolly midshop! We trolled around the supermarket looking for another traumatised couple and eventally found them and apologised profusely. We then spent 10 minutes trying to sort out which articles belonged to whom! Luckily they saw the funny side of it!

Crow: Well obviously we all came to this site originally because of our love for Elvis, but its the people that keep us coming back. If it were just Elvis info we were here for I think we would all just drop in occasionally. There are so many wonderful characters on here who have become 'cyber friends', and so very many great stories, information and laughs to be had - and thats down to board members!

Following Crash8's theme what is the most embarrasing thing that has ever happended to you?

mood swung · Post by **mood swung** » Tue Jul 27, 2004 12:01 pm

I stepped out of my car, started walking across a crowded parking lot, felt my feet go out from under me and landed on my ass. I was wearing a really sharp black skirt and a passing car got an eyeful. They did stop to offer assistance. I never wore those shoes again.

what makes you feel content?

A bottle of tequilla and a Mexican whore who can suck the chrome off a trailer hitch......
