Ask a stupid question...

A: We met Saundra's parents? When did we meet Saundra's parents?!? I guess that would be a 'no'. Should we be expecting them in the near future?

The dead surf in California. Turns out I don't need a life after all!

Q: (purely hypothetical) You've had this friend you've known and hung out with since high school. Then one day, your friend of over ten years starts acting wierd; i.e. starts paying more attention to everything you do, hangs on every word, wants to spend more time together, becomes alot more huggy/touchy. Basically acting like they want to be more than a friend. However you don't want to be more than friends. How would you handle this without resorting to the "Let's just be friends..." speech?

A: "I can't have sex with you! You're my best friend!" The only reason I'd advise against going for it in this case is if you are (a) of incompatible gender-identity or (b) attached. Otherwise, I'd say give it a whirl. The friendship is in jeopardy already if sexual attraction is getting in the way of normal friend/friend interactions.

Q: What's the best way to introduce your current life-mate candidate to a group who may be hostile to that candidate's gender?

(Aside: Actually, there's a storyline entitled "Saundra's Parents", Andrick. I was hoping to kick up some poly dust.)

A: (Oooh. Sounds like a plot hint.)

Method one: show up with your current life-mate candidate as if their gender didn't matter, because it doesn't. This works well with groups where you can easily say "If you don't like it, tough!"

Method two: for those groups where their opinion of you matters to you (like the parents) I recommend telling them when the current life-mate candidate isn't in the room, or the building. This gives them the chance to get over any initial gut reactions or automatic reponses that might cause pain to your CLMC. If the response is eventually good, you can bring your CLMC in. If fireworks ensue and you leave with "never darken these doors again" ringing in your ears, you've spared your CLMC the embarrassment and trauma.

I definitely recommend against "Mom, Dad, I want you to meet my future spouse, Jim."

Q: If you've met 'Mr. Right' or 'Ms. Right', where did you meet him or her?

Edit for atrocious grammar! It's late.

A: High School.

I pined after her for my entire stay there. My mom, observing the fact that Ms. Right knew I existed, but didn't want to, told me I didn't have a chance.

But then I went to junior college, again, there's Ms. right. And I still can't make myself say anything. Then my sister walks right up to Ms. Right and says "You know, my brother likes you."

And the rest, if you've seen any bad romantic comedies lately, you know.

Q: Given what we now know about Rick's little shop of gadgetry, anyone care to guess at his major?

Andrick · Post by **Andrick** » Sun Apr 14, 2002 12:58 pm

A: Woodshop. Oh come on! Look at how much stuff he has around that place. Can you imagine the clutter if he didn't have proper benches and shelving? Do you know how dificult it is to get such things to line up seamlessly and completely level? I'd rather repair a hole in a seven layer circuit board than make a third attempt at leveling out the work bench I made for my step-father. (it started out four feet high; my parents use it as a 2.5' coffee table now)

Q: What was the rudest way you 'cock-blocked' someone you knew?

Nyamaza · Post by **Nyamaza** » Tue Apr 16, 2002 5:02 pm

A: Kept teasing and teasing them, then refused to allow any direct contact to keep from possible STD transference.

Q: When we finally get up to Start Trek level civilization, will all the PADDs have Minesweeper, Freecell, and Solitair on them?

A: Seeing as the computer systems don't crash daily, even on _Enterprise_ I'd say Micro$oft died in the Eugenics Wars. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Q: Will Saundra finally find love...with Jake's dad?

Nyamaza · Post by **Nyamaza** » Tue Apr 16, 2002 7:27 pm

A: Yes, after a brave and arduous quest that will test them both to their limits.

Q: If you cloned Volair and locked them both in a room, would the subsequent actions be considered yiffing, masterbation, or insest?

Alfador · Post by **Alfador** » Tue Apr 16, 2002 10:03 pm

A: All of the above.

Q: If Volair met Zig Zag in passing, would they:

a) say "Hi" and go their separate ways.

b) engage in spontaneous lust-filled yiffing.

c) say "Hi" and engage in spontaneous lust-filled yiffing.

d) walk down to ZZ Studios, chatting about various topics that interest them.

e) ...and then engage in spontaneous lust-filled yiffing on camera.

f) scream and run away from each other.

g) just stand there and drool at each other.

h) hug, being long-lost old friends.

i) ...and then engage in spontaneous lust-filled yiffing.

j) wink and secretly harbor PSL for each other.

k) ...until they meet up at ZZ Studios and engage in not-so-spontaneous lust-filled yiffing.

l) open up a dimensional portal, travel to our RL universe, and throttle Alfador's player for confusing them with such a long list, not to mention all the references to spontaneous lust-filled yiffing.

And may I remind you that I remain unthrottled.

A: Well, since in this universe, the Great Unflappable TigerSkunk is pushing fifty, I think Volair's response would be:
"What is thy bidding, my master?"

Q: Did it occur to you that, being adopted, Volair could in fact be ZigZag's son? (Adopted of course)

A: No, but that would actually make sence to me.

Q: What woudl happen if our dear Voltair met up with a certain Michael Hopkins?

Andrick · Post by **Andrick** » Wed Apr 17, 2002 3:35 pm

A: What makes you think Mikey would notice that a male fox pounced him instead of a female dachshund - fox mixbreed? Same thing, as always with the 'roo, nothing. Oblivious to the world (despite the fanfics to the contrary) and taking no interest in anyone else unless they are doing something which offends his sensibilities.

Q: What would Lisa do when she she finds out that Volair pounced Mikey?

Hampster · Post by **Hampster** » Wed Apr 17, 2002 3:51 pm

A: what ever happened, Volair would get a lot of exercise.

Q: What would happen if our dear Volair met up with a certain David Hopkins?

 hey, cool my answer still works. maybe I could loose the wink tho.

A: He'd do what I'd do: Run screaming.

Q: If you were a tree, what sort of tree would you be?

Nyamaza · Post by **Nyamaza** » Fri Apr 19, 2002 3:03 pm

A: Bianary. The reason should be bloody well obvious.

Q: If you were an UH character (but only ONE character) who would you be?

Andrick · Post by **Andrick** » Fri Apr 19, 2002 10:13 pm

A: Leonard. For obvious reasons.

Q: Is anyone else a little creeped out that Rick designed his breasts to be "perfect"?

A: Nope. Why not go for the very best? (though it makes one wonder what ELSE was designed to be perfect, and what size that might be....)

Q: What is Volair's deepest, darkest secret that hasn't even been hinted at yet?

Allan_ecker · Post by **Allan_ecker** » Sat Apr 20, 2002 6:32 am

A: I'm not telling.

But my GOD it's juicy.

Q: What's the most complex love triangle/quadrangle/pentagon/etc. you've ever experienced?

Q: Who put the bop in the bop-shu-wop-shu-wop?

Allan_ecker · Post by **Allan_ecker** » Sun Apr 21, 2002 9:52 pm

A: I don't know, but if he's the one who put the ram in the ram-a-lamb-a-ding-dong, he's probably a furry artist.

Q: Does Saundra still lust after Volair? Doesn't everybody?
