Triple-choice game

[CaptainSpam]

A). Definately. Growing up as a geek in high school has taught me cheerleaders are nothing but pure, noninnocent evil, and goth sluts seem more like poseurs to me. But hey, I like phoenixes (phoeni?). And fire can be weilded quite seductively. And perhaps most importantly, fire's cool. Heh heh. :-)

Favorite instrument?

A) Accordian
B) Bagpipes
C) Zither

Yeah, the forms have been in a state of disarray ever since the server move... I've been unable to reply to things in some forums, the reply counters aren't updating, I've been seeing a LOT of multiple post disorder, etc, etc...

[Nitwit]

Definatelky the bagpipes. There's something about the sheer presence of the pipes I just love. (Of course, since I actually play the pipes, this hardly counts as a parituclarly unbiased opinion )

To continue the Scottish theme:
The best opart of wearing a kilt is:
a) The cool patterns?
b) the possibilities inherent in being asked "Whats worn under the kilt"?
or c) The ability to cross-dress in a socially acceptable enviroment?

[Matt Trepal]

I think (b). The answer, of course, being "How would you like to find out?"

On the other hand, I suppose that answer would depend on who's doing the asking....

What's worse:

A: The Forums being all wonky and squirrelly like they are currently?

B: Agonizingly slow server-side connection?

C: The Forums being down completely?

[CaptainSpam]

I'd say A. Then you can go back and FIX said problems before the necessity of B or C comes up.

Which one's better?

A) B
B) C
C) A

[Matt Trepal]

It looks like CaptainSpam and Stalks both posted at the same time, missing the other's answer. So, I will endeavor to answer both.

First, I choose (A), which is "B," which is my choice for the second question. For thousands of years, Man has wanted to blow up the Moon (to paraphrase C. Montgomery Burns). Who wouldn't want all the fame and adoration associated with that?

(And Stalks, you don't need time travel; you appear to be speaking to us from 17 years in the future!)

Now, for a question:

A) Mandarin?

B) Szechuan?

C) Cantonese?

[ThePooka]

Little known fact about me. I can read Exit in both Cantoneese and Mandorin. I was in Hong Kong for a week. If I could draw, I'd have over a years worth of online comic material ;)
So. With that out of the way...
I choose Szechwan. Spicy baby!

Which causes one to twich more?
1)New Kids On The Block?
2)Baby Seals?
Or
3)Cute Innocent 8-Year Old Girls, carying chemistry books through the hood? (Think MiB)

[Matt Trepal]

As a confirmed and dedicated cynic, baby seal eyes have no effect on me. Therefore, twitches come most sharply from NKOTB.

Old-skool video game of choice?

A) Pong

B) Combat

C) Space Invaders

<small>yes, I realize how thoroughly I date myself by asking this question. shut up.</small>

<small>EDIT: better, Cap'n?</small>

[CaptainSpam]

We'll work on your phpBB code later, Matt. But, I'll go with Combat. Gots ta love the multiplayer.

Worse job?

A) Retail
B) Government (any level)
C) Janitorial

Include your personal bias, if any. Matt. :-)

[Matt Trepal]

Hm, having worked all three (or at least cleaned bathrooms as a part of my foodservice job), I would say, unconditionally, that Janitorial jobs are by far the worst ones.

Blech.

Mad Magazine,

The Onion, or

National Lampoon?

[ZOMBIE USER 12701]

Mad Magazine. Hands down.

In the movie you know will be made about our heroes, Portia will be voiced by:

A) Whoopi Goldberg
2) Bette Midler
X.4Q) Halle Berry

Halle is my choice.

[Matt Trepal]

Well, with those choices I'll have to say Halle Berry. I can't see her sounding like Bette Midler, and Whoopi Goldberg REALLY doesn't do it for me.

Ms. Berry wouldn't be my first choice, mind you, but she'll do nicely.

Most depressing holiday to be single on:

1) - Valentine's Day,

2) - New Year's Eve, or

uh...

3) - Some other holiday which I haven't mentioned here but is still depressing to go though single?

Yes, I'm in a funk.

(and for the record, my choice for Portia's voice would be Sandra Bullock, or Diana Rigg from The Avengers)

[CaptainSpam]

Well, Valentine's Day really isn't, since you can play "count the preps who flaunt their girl/boyfriends around and make themselves look like complete arses". That's fun. :-)

That said, it's prolly New Year's. Here you have everybody celebrating something with everyone else, and you're stuck at home eating Cheetos and drinking cheap beer. Or, you're like me, working the bloody midnight shift.

Let's talk plot, shall we? Your favorite type?

A) Short plots
B) Long plots
C) Plots that spill into the next plot, making the illusion of a painfully long plot

[ZOMBIE USER 12701]

Well, for the record, I'd still think she sounds like Halle. And the other two choices were the only names I could come up with. Whoopi, no. Bette, maybe, because of her sass. SANDRA BULLOCK? She sounds like someone inflated her then left it to slowly deflate. Oh well. At least we got Mel Gibson as Dozer, Robin Williams as Sashi and Jim Carrey as Yerzle.

Answer to the Spam man's Q is C. Definately. Gotta go with the illusion of a plot-within-a-plot to make it seem like a real world. No questions asked.

Best part about New Year's?

A) That ball they drop makes great catapult fodder if someone steals it
B) The cheering in Times Square being so loud the people working on the space station hear it (physics be damned)
C) Dick Clark's finally re-mummified and put away for another year (How old is he, 900 or something?)

[CaptainSpam]

I can do a fairly good voice for Stillwell. A sorta innocent, guy-holding-his-nose sorta voice. Jim Carrey as Yertz? Ish... Not quite who I'd picture, meself... Maybe Leslie Nielson for Dozer?

C. Dick Clark's immortal grace will continue to be the world's New Year's Eve running gag for generations to come.

Quick, you're in the store and running late as it is, what's your pick?

1) A Hershey bar
2) A Heath bar
3) A box of Nerds

[Matt Trepal]

Heath Bar. I like toffee.

Most erotic-sounding piece of heavy machinery?

A) Vibratory Plow?
B) Wankle Rotary Engine?
C) Front-end Loader?

As for voices in the FCE animated movie (or series), we can always revive this thread!

[ZOMBIE USER 12701]

C. Front end's the only end *I'd* load If I ever had any, that is... Though A is a close second...

Cross Dozer with Portia and you get...?

A) Bad Attitude Skunk with a vibrating axe (all that electricity has to go somewhere...)
B) Pepe Le Boar (I'm blank on ideas atm)
C) Someone who sees things in black and white instead of color

[CaptainSpam]

B) Pepe Le Boar. Because I'm having a hard time figuring out where you'd get Pepe Le Pew's outrageous Frenchness from Dozer and Portia. :-)

FORE!

A) Nice shot!
B) Ow! My head!
C) Would you stop practicing your swing in the living room?

(Bonus points if you can figure out where I got the idea to use FORE! as a 'question')

[Matt Trepal]

Well, considering my golf game, I'll go with B. And this is the fourth page of this thread, so is that where you got the idea?

Favorite vermin:

A) Pigeons?

B) Rats?

C) Cockroaches?

[CaptainSpam]

A) Pigeon, definately. Because they're more fun to watch and more fun to say. And they're Bert's favorite animal on Sesame Street, so how can you possibly go wrong? I mean, it's BERT!

Nope, it's got nothing to do with the forums... Hint 1 is that it comes from a video game.

Sorry I had to break it down to three, but what's your favorite breakfast cereal out of these?

A) Froot Loops
B) Crunch Berries
C) Fruity Pebbles

[ZOMBIE USER 12701]

Crunch Berries. Pebbles lose their taste quickly and Loops to me taste like someone overdid the cotton content after awhile.


Try this one.

We should get up off our collective asses and colonize...

The underwater realm
The Moon and Mars
The skies (via permanent floating hotels and airships)
