6. What's your Most Embarrassing Moment?

[Plaid Adder]

8. Like I'm gonna tell that story to 30,000 people.

Anyway you wouldn't like it...it involves menstrual blood.

38. Eee Gadz

Well, you DID say "Ask me anything"...

But if involves MB, then ignorance is bliss :tinfoilhat:

[Plaid Adder]

41. You ask most any woman that question,

and I bet the REAL answer will involve MB. Course she'll probably lie and tell you some much LESS embarrassing story...

9. Why Plaid?

Paisley is so much cooler.

(Though I do appreciate a good plaid for that hardy winter look.) :P

[Plaid Adder]

14. Rhymes with "add"

thus, Plaid Adder has a better ring to it than "Paisley Adder."

Although I agree paisley is cool, it is also a bitch to draw, so I wouldn't have been able to do the graphic:

10. When you molt...is your plaid pattern in full color?

Or, does it take a while to fully "come in"? ;-)

[Plaid Adder]

11. New skin is kind of pastel-y for a while till it sets.

The old skin doesn't have much color to it.

12. So is it snowing up there to the north of us?

Been dusting ole bloomington all day long. Not enough to stick... just enough to frustrate school kids who look out angrily at the sky thinking... *it COULD have been a snow day... instead I have to take this final!*

[Plaid Adder]

15. Ground is just about covered, but nothing major

These days, till it gets to be about 6 inches I don't really consider it snow.

17. Now that you have only 20 posts to get to 2000

How do you feel?

[Plaid Adder]

20. Imminent!

Actually it kind of scares me. Think of the time I've wasted posting here, when I could have been working for world peace...

18. Is the sky green?

[Plaid Adder]

21. Depends on your planet, I suppose

19. Favorite non-traditional spectator sport?

[Plaid Adder]

22. Does figure skating count as non-traditional?

Watch that like a fiend:

25. Yes it does... and I am impressed!

Got hooked in 1984 with olympic ice dancing (to this date there has been NOTHING like Torvil and Dean's performance...) Always liked singles (was a preteen when we all had to get Dorothy Hammil haircuts!)... then lived in Michigan and could catch the CBC when this phenominal young male canadian was winning world championship after world championship... to this day - while he had a few rough years (and didn't do well in the olympics) I still think that Kurt Browning still reigns as "Mr. Showmanship"!

Oops... I meant to say... I know what you mean - I also enjoy watching ice skating.

[Plaid Adder]

29. I had a Dorothy Hammill cut when I was 8.

It was Godawful. My hair has a lot more body than Dorothy's ever did.

I agree with you about Browning, although I think Yagudin may step in and take over the title (Victor Petrenko is a showman in his own inimitable way, but I don't think he's as interesting to watch as either of them).

I also really liked Paul Wylie, and am sad that he is not still around. Moved on to better things, I guess.

Since Michelle Kwan's star has waned I have kind of lost interest in the ladies, but the pairs! The pairs is what it's all about. Not that the US has had a decent pairs team, like, in 15 years, but I don't care, I'll watch Sale and Pelletier and Shen and Zhao as long as people let me.

C ya,

34. I grew up with someone

who earned a bronze in the pairs. It has, indeed, been awhile. I haven't watched closely recently - I will have to keep my eyes open for events and become reacquainted with the field.

Didn't Wylie keep putting off Law School (was it Harvard Law) for "one more year on the circuit?" I miss him, but wish him well.

There are many fine male skaters who do a good show - and Yagudin (sp?) does have a special flare... But Browning just tapped into each crowd and made them a part of his performance like noone else. Caught him in a recent special - it was nice to see him back.. and that he still has flashes of that showmanship.

[Plaid Adder]

36. Saw him in the latest "Ice Wars"

I was shocked to see North American finally "lose." Gives you hope for 2004.

Noticed also that Oksana appears to be back. That was a sad frickin' story. We saw her once in CHampions on Ice during her first "comeback" and it was pretty sad. She seems to be coming more back this time around, although it's too bad she's still fixated on Swan Lake.

[salin]

28. congrats on your feat terrya...

[terrya]

33. Thank you, salin!

"modestly"...Aw, shucks. It weren't nothin'!

[Plaid Adder]

31. Dunno. Always wondered.

And why do they call them woodchucks if they CAN'T chuck wood?

35. Does life really begin at 40?

[Plaid Adder]

37. If it does, then I must be dead.

Or undead, maybe...hey, that woudl explain a lot!

39. Have you read Mountains Beyond Mountains, yet?

Everybody should read Mountains beyond Mountains.

[Plaid Adder]

40. Nope, still working on Mountains Before Mountains.

42. What topic would you like to broach for that 2000th post?

The Floor... is yours!

[arwalden]

43. What Would You Change About Yourself?

[Plaid Adder]

45. I'd like to drop about 80 pounds.

Apart from that, I'm perfect!

That's not true, of course...I have many little flaws, but most of them are things I can live with. I have occasionally gotten worried about my penchant for harshing on people, and have sometimes gone so far as to give it up for Lent. However, I always make an exception for any Bush that happens to be president.

46. here's some questions:

how many posts do i need before i can start a thread??

why are they called 'freeps'??

how long did it take you to get to 2000??

how do you know it's 2000 when it says: (1000+ posts)??

one love
spike

[Kenneth ken]

49. I'll answer for her

I'm not sure, but you do have enough at 107.

"Freeps" is more or less the name they like. Posters at Freerepublic call themselves Freepers, freeps is just a slighlty shorter name.

??? I wouldn't know that.

If you look at her profile (the human silhouette to the right of her name) it will show the correct number of posts.
