Let's get to know each other.

[Rachel Peters]

Apart from brief profiles and websites, I don't know much about anybody here.
So, let me get to know you! ...I mean, casually. I'm not going on any blind dates or anything. So, back off, man!!

Below is a "get to know you quiz" quiz I tapped out throughout the day, while sort of/kind of working overtime at my sort of/kind of day job.

I invite you to answer one or all of the following queries.


1. How are you doing today?


2. If all you had in the world was a nickle, what would you do with it?


3. You have a choice: Death by rubber mallot, or being licked to death by kittens. Pick.


4. If you were a cheese, what kind of cheese would you be? I don't mean what kind of cheese do you like to eat, or what kind of cheese would you LIKE to be, but what kind of cheese would most closely represent who YOU are as a person.
(I know of at least one person on this forum who will refuse to answer this question, for reasons I can't figure out. I've tried. Repeatedly. He just won't. ...and nothing would make me happier than if he would. ...I don't even know why anymore. Maybe it's pride.)

5. You have a pot belly. Do you wear your belt over or under?

6. What TV show are you embarassed to admit you watch?

7. You think I'm pretty cool, don't you. ...It's ok. You can admit it. ...This is just between you and me.

8. Who do you think would win in a fight -- you? or a pack of 20, cranky, drooling, biting 2 year olds? ...Not that you'd CHOOSE to fight children... but i'm sayin' -- if you HAD to.

9. You could professionally play any instrument you want. Which do you choose?

10. What's your favourite? (that's the question. Your favourite. ....anything.)

11. How long do you think it'll be before Rachel either quits or gets fired from her job? (Ten bucks goes to whoever comes closest. ...But that's $10 CDN. So that's um... Like, 7 cents American, I think.)

12. The mould that grows on old coffee -- is that dangerous to injest? Because I left my mug out on my desk last night, and somethings growing in it now.

La la la. ...that's all. I'm outa here.

-cracked peters

[Rachel Peters]

dejected.

no takers yet? Seriously. Ten bucks for question 11.

[jester]

okay heres my answers

1) Fine.
2) I'd invest it in 30 seconds of "pay and Spray."
3) Lick to death by kittens.
4) Parmesan
5)Under. Over is sooooo old.
6) I'm unembarrassable. I love Cheers.
7) No. But I like your web site and your glasses, you kind of kooky sexy thing, no wait, don't tell me to back off, you can't ask these personal questions and then just DUMP ME! I WILL NOT BE USED LIKE THIS.... I'm sorry, I just got a little bit angry.. I just want to be friends. OF COURSE I UNDERSTAND THAT NOTHING WILL EVER HAPPEN.....
... It's okay. I'm better now. .... please let me try again...

8) If noone was looking... I'd win and enjoy it.
9) The Saxaphone
10) This is my favorite question.
11) A week on Wednesday.
12) The mould on coffee is an antibiotic and is actually good for you.

[Rachel Peters]

Nice job, Jester! Thanks.

So far you're in the lead for the 10 bucks (Canadian).
And, yes. We can still be friends. We'll just never talk. Ever. I may see you from across the room and nod my head or something. ...but don't expect it.

[Rachel Peters]

oh, wait a second...

Hey Jester... now, you're job quitting guess -- is that the day you think I'll give my notice? or my actual last day?

Considering you're the only guess, it doesn't really make much of a difference. You'd win by default. But I want to see just how close you get it.

[Rachel Peters]

Living on the edge? Or living with my Parents?

I QUIT MY JOB!

Looks like Jonathan the Jester's getting 10 bucks in couch cushion change, because I just burst into that office, grabbed The Man by the tie and said, "LISTEN YOU! NO!! You PUT down that cell phone, shut your pie hole and LISTEN, YOU! I'm BUSTIN' OUTA THIS GIN JOINT, ya SEE?! Yeah, YOU heard me!!! Stuff a sock in it, man!!! STUFF IT!!"

...and then, OUTLOOOUUD I said, "excuse me, sir? is that a new tie? let's have a little heart-to-heart, shall we? Would you like some coffee? Oh, look at that picture of your wife. Isn't she just lovely."

...acutally, I didn't say that either. I'm such a liar. The real story is much more boring.
But when he has the time, I do plan to have a meeting and give some constructive, loving criticism on behalf of the animators who are afraid to lose their jobs. I've got nothing to lose.

Maybe I should have posted this in the blatantly hyped thread.

I QUIT! HUZZAH!

A party is in order.

(And Jonathan - seriously -- if I know where to send it, I'll send you ten bucks in change. I think it's funny.)

[jester]

Rachel. Until you get a new job you need that 10 bucks more than I do.

However, when you are back in gainful employment please give the ten bucks to a cancer research charity.

[scot]

Jester, you're so sweet and boffable

[Rachel Peters]

dangit. ...coulda been fun. I've mailed muffins, plastic zoo animals, donuts, rubber lizards, paper cocktail umbrellas... 10 dollars in change would have been a fun change.

[Magrat2005]

Girl, go get yourself another job before you get sucked into this twisted world and cant get out

P.S isnt this what the 'whos who' thread for?

[scot]

ha ha

Pop Quiz

!. Alright. Thank you for asking. Although, I just spilled coffee in my sketchbook and realized it looked better than my drawings. That made me a little sad.

@. If I all I had was a nickle, I think I'd cut it up into pointy, little wedges and flick them at some rich socialite until they gave me money to stop. Then I would move to Europe (probably Austria) and live comfortably with a hairless cat named "Hot Water Bottle".

#. This is a stupid question. Who wrote this crap?

$. Cheese Choice #1: Gouda. It has red wax. It's like a cheese and a toy in one. Choice #2: Head Cheese. Because it's not a cheese at all. ...just like me! And it's made of pig brains or something. ...just like me?

%. I'm pretty confident that belt over looks better on women.

^. Embarrassed: American Idol, season 2.
Not embarrased: This is Daniel Cook.

Great show, but I worry for the kid. I just hope he doesn't grow up to be a prick.

&. Sometimes. But sometimes I find you a little irritating. It's a bit of a love/hate relationship.

*. I've done it. There was no competition. -- I won.

(. voice.

!). My Favourite today: Tim Horton's Coffee. A Canadian Tradmark.

!!. Rachel will give her notice of resignation last friday, but won't stop showing up for work until January. ...this answer would have been so much more impressive, had I written it last week.


!@. I think Mr. The Jester already answered this one for me, but I'm not sure I believe him. At this point, I just want to see what kind of designs it makes in the mug, the longer I leave it. This'll make up for my rotting banana experiment that someone threw out.

correct it is stupid, and that would be you hon

that makes no sense, it would Mr. Jester, since his name doesnt have 'the' in front of it, aint you meant to be a wirter or something?

[Rachel Peters]

Alpha?

Yes. ...sigh. I suppose I should stop using self-depricating humour, because apparently I'm just no good at it. (Please don't respond to that. It was a funny, funny joke and your explanation of why you don't get it is only going to be anti-climactic. ...oh, nevermind. There seems to be a bit of a sarchasm* between you and I.)

Seriously Magrat, I'm not exactly sure why you're trying to follow my every post with an [attempted] insult, but listen -- I'm kind of smart, and kind of jaded, with a quickly crumbling romantic world view. One biproduct of this combination is a nice, "ask me if I care" glaze that's now firmly cast over my eyes, like a bad cataract.
I'm sure you're a nice girl. I want to be friendly.
But please know that I have very little energy, and these days I am absolutely overflowing with both piss and vinigar (20% piss, 163% vinigar).
I could tear into you in any number of ways, in response to these posts -- a capability I'm not exactly proud to posess. Forums can bring out some nasty stuff in people, but that's not who I want to be. It bothers me that I even have nasty potential.
I don't think you realize the restraint I'm using.
If not for your well being, then for my own --
Please. Don't test me.

Don't take this as a challenge. It's a sincere request.



*Sarchasm: sar-cha-zim. noun. 1. the gap that lies between the person making the joke and the person not getting it.

neat response, i enjoyed that, thanks
