3. 12 Holiday Answers.

1. Have you ever actually SEEN a fruitcake, let alone give one or receive one as a gift? Actually, a friend used to work at Harr and David during the holidays for extra money. He sent me a gift basket containint a small fruitcake. Their fruitcake was pretty darned tasty.

2. Which credit card do you use most often, your VISA, Mastercard or AMEX? My check card is a Visa, but my credit cards are Mastercards.

3. Did you ever go to summer camp, or sleepaway camp - and did you enjoy it? Did I go? Hell, I was a Boy Scout. Of course I went. I was even on summer camp staff for 4 summers.

4. Name the one person in the world who knows you better than anyone else. My mom. She always knows when I'm feeding her a line of crap.

5. Do you miss the 80's or 90's more? 1990s.

6. Do you put butter, margerine, cream cheese or jelly on your toast/roll/bagel ect. Butter and/or jelly on toast. Cream cheese on a bagel.

7. Who would win in a fight between the reanimated corpse of John Wilkes Booth and the reanimated corpse of Lee Harvey Oswald? Oswald. He was a Marine. Those guys can kill you with one finger and a dirty look.

8. When women ask "Do these pants make me look fat" are they expecting an honest answer? No, they want to be told how beautiful they are.

9. What is the best happy meal toy you ever seen a fast food chain give out? No clue, but I knew a guy who collected the McDonald's ones. Made shelves for them and everything.

10. If your SO approached you about adding a third person (wink wink) what would your answer be? You just HAD to put in a SO question. I think me and Kleeb need to kick your ass. The answer for me is no. I'm a one-woman kinda guy. Plus, I am WAY too self-conscious.

11. Are you more afraid of sharks, spiders or mice? I don't go in the ocean much, so I don't care about sharks. Spiders are ok, as long as they aren't crawling on me. Same for mice I guess. I've never seen a mouse in my house, so I suppose that would freak me out the most.

12. Which sports team has the best color pattern on their uniforms? San Antonio Spurs, baby. Simple color pattern, not gaudy. Very classic looks. St. Louis Cardinals a close second.

[Bertha Venation]

9. I'm guessing this guy doesn't have many now either.

He was once a co-worker of mine, and he kept these things in his office. :o Later, after I started working for the investigations branch, we busted him for viewing kiddie porn on his work computer. But, his name isn't Ted.

4. 12 Answers :-)

1. Have you ever actually SEEN a fruitcake, let alone give one or receive one as a gift?

Yes. My Grandma got one from the neighbor when I was a kid. It was ugly and scary-looking. I worshipped her, and even she couldn't coax me to take one bite.

2. Which credit card do you use most often, your VISA, Mastercard or AMEX?

I don't believe in credit cards.

3. Did you ever go to summer camp, or sleepaway camp - and did you enjoy it?

Yes and yes.

4. Name the one person in the world who knows you better than anyone else.

My surrogate father.

5. Do you miss the 80's or 90's more?

The 90's. -- I came of age, the economy was terrific, the music was pretty good, we had an actual President. All good things.

6. Do you put butter, margerine, cream cheese or jelly on your toast/roll/bagel ect.

Jelly on toast. Butter on rolls. Cheese on bagels.

7. Who would win in a fight between the reanimated corpse of John Wilkes Booth and the reanimated corpse of Lee Harvey Oswald?

I don't know -- I'd be off in the corner puking. They were both ugly, ugly, ugly and quite scary-looking. Decomposition would not add to their appeal, I am sure.

8. When women ask "Do these pants make me look fat" are they expecting an honest answer?

PROBABLY not. Probably the woman is feeling a little insecure and is looking for a convincing, "Absolutely not -- I just love the way your hips look so slender" or something like that. I do know one couple, who have been together 30 plus years, and she really wants an honest answer -- I am guessing the time together mitigates the insecurity a bit.

9. What is the best happy meal toy you ever seen a fast food chain give out?

Um....can't remember.

10. If your SO approached you about adding a third person (wink wink) what would your answer be?

Nope. I don't share well with others.

11. Are you more afraid of sharks, spiders or mice?

Mice. I never get anywhere near a shark, and while spiders scare me, they're fairly easy to kill.

12. Which sports team has the best color pattern on their uniforms?

What's a sports team? :-)

[populistmom]

10. I can never resist these

1. Have you ever actually SEEN a fruitcake, let alone give one or receive one as a gift?

Yes and yes. My mother gives fruitcakes. Hers are a bit less heavy duty than the traditional ones though- more buttery and less like a paperweight or doorstop, still not my favorite thing though.

2. Which credit card do you use most often, your VISA, Mastercard or AMEX?
Mastercard

3. Did you ever go to summer camp, or sleepaway camp - and did you enjoy it?

I camped a few weekends with Girl Scouts and when I was 15, I went to a church camp thing for a week and had an incredible time, mainly because I went parasailing, which is one of the few cool things I've done in my life.


4. Name the one person in the world who knows you better than anyone else.

I know myself pretty well, but other than that, it really depends. I'd like to think my husband knows me well, given our 13 years together, but he's full of misconceptions regarding my motivations on a daily basis, so I wonder if it's wishful thinking at this point. I have a close friend who's been my friend for 16 years and she knows me very well, in many ways better than my spouse. There's even a particular DU person out there somewhere who knows things about me that no one else really seems to know.

5. Do you miss the 80's or 90's more?

The 90's- as most of the 90's were relatively happy for me. There were a few things I'd like to do differently though, especially in the last couple of years of the 90's.

6. Do you put butter, margerine, cream cheese or jelly on your toast/roll/bagel ect.

Butter or peanut butter

7. Who would win in a fight between the reanimated corpse of John Wilkes Booth and the reanimated corpse of Lee Harvey Oswald?

I think John WIlkes Booth would kick some serious butt.

8. When women ask "Do these pants make me look fat" are they expecting an honest answer?

We usually just need reassurance we're attractive.

9. What is the best happy meal toy you ever seen a fast food chain give out?

Hot Wheels cars

10. If your SO approached you about adding a third person (wink wink) what would your answer be?

No. I don't believe in using people sexually when you don't care for them or love them, at least not for me. If I'm intimate with someone, it's one on one. Although, what other people choose to do, if everyone's in agreement on and know the rules, I don't judge them. It just wouldn't feel right for me personally. Maybe a nice fantasy, but a 3-way thing wouldn't be something I could handle.

11. Are you more afraid of sharks, spiders or mice?

Mice gross me out a little, but I'm not really afraid of them. I suppose sharks would scare me a bit, but I've never encountered one either. Then again, I'm still young.

12. Which sports team has the best color pattern on their uniforms?

Sports shmorts! I'm overdone with sports!

Depends on the person, the gender, the situation. But if my SO did, then I’d probably say “oh yeah baby!”

Sharks, that’s why I left the reef and moved onto land.

17. Xmas Eve eve poll answers.

1. Have you ever actually SEEN a fruitcake, let alone give one or receive one as a gift?

7. Who would win in a fight between the reanimated corpse of John Wilkes Booth and the reanimated corpse of Lee Harvey Oswald?

No. We want reassurance we are attractive and desirable. But I try not to ask loaded questions like that to start with.

21. My answers...

1. Have you ever actually SEEN a fruitcake, let alone give one or receive one as a gift?

Absolutely. What kind of weirdos *are* you Americans anyway? Seen them, eaten them, and lived like them... My whole family likes fruitcake, especially the dark kind with the marzipan icing. Light fruitcakes are for the birds. I'd be happy to receive a fruitcake as a gift this year, because they're rather expensive and I can't afford to buy one of my own.

2. Which credit card do you use most often, your VISA, Mastercard or AMEX?

I don't have any credit cards. I do, however, have ~$12K in student debt, which is quite enough for one person.

3. Did you ever go to summer camp, or sleepaway camp - and did you enjoy it?

Yes, but only the camp with the horses.

4. Name the one person in the world who knows you better than anyone else.

Probably my fiance.

5. Do you miss the 80's or 90's more?

I miss the '90s more, because during the '90s, I was in undergrad, and that was fun.

6. Do you put butter, margerine, cream cheese or jelly on your toast/roll/bagel ect.

Nope. I don't eat toast very much anyway, and if I do, I put garlic olive oil on it.

7. Who would win in a fight between the reanimated corpse of John Wilkes Booth and the reanimated
corpse of Lee Harvey Oswald?

John Wilkes Booth, best two falls out of three.

8. When women ask "Do these pants make me look fat" are they expecting an honest answer?

Yes, *if* they actually have sufficient figure flaws where some pants will or will not flatter them. For instance, if the woman in question has a bit of a potbelly, and she tries on a pair of pleat-front pants, the diplomatic answer to "Do these pants make me look fat?" is "You'd be better off to go with the flat-front pants, don't you think?" On the other hand, if the woman in question wears a size eight or less, has less than 2% body fat, or is otherwise high-maintenance, the most diplomatic answer to the question is, "I don't think we should see each other anymore." Whereupon you should go out and find a nice Real Girl.

9. What is the best happy meal toy you ever seen a fast food chain give out?

I don't know. I haven't eaten any fast food that gives out toys in probably fifteen years...

10. If your SO approached you about adding a third person (wink wink) what would your answer be?

"Who is it?" and "All right, but you have to let me have someone, too, because double standards suck!" (The double standard there, of course, is that for most men, it is perfectly all right for YOU to go to bed with him AND another WOMAN, but it is absolute anathema for HIM to go to bed with YOU and another MAN... Me, I'm just bi enough to enjoy the former, and just kinky enough to enjoy the latter, so if there's no compromise there, it's an impasse.) (And that IS the actual state of affairs, so to speak.)

11. Are you more afraid of sharks, spiders or mice?

Spiders.

12. Which sports team has the best color pattern on their uniforms?

I have no idea.

22. Here are my answers:

1) Who are you calling a fruitcake?

To all those people who don't seem to like fruitcake I have to ask you a question - You are soaking it in Brandy first right? I mean, who cares what it tastes like? Just a few pieces of Brandy soaked fruitcake and any day is Christmas!

2) Credit Card? You mean those little pieces of plastic that make you pay more for the things you buy? No, I'll stick to cash thanks...

3) I tried to go to camp with the Girl Scouts once, but it seems you have to be a girl to go to a Girl Scout camp. It's sexism through and through. I swore I wouldn't look around much in the showers, but they still wouldn't let me go.

4) No-one! Everytime someone seems to be getting to know me, I change my whole personality - just to keep them guessing. After all, variety is the spice of life!

5) I didn't miss either of them. I was there the whole time, even though I regret it to this day. No, they should have just removed the 80's and 90's from the calender and gone straight from 1979 to 2000. That would have saved me a whole bunch of bother.

6) Vegemite Toast! Proof that there is a god! As far as I am concerned, all bread should come pre-toasted and spread with vegemite. It would save so much time.

7) That depends. Would there be a Grassy Knoll nearby? If so then Oswald would win easily (well at least the Warren Commission would say so).

8) More importantly, would I give them one? The answer is no, I would lie through my teeth. Hell, I would first try to pretend I ddn't hear them, because even when you do lie, you're bound to get in trouble anyway. So if a womans asked me "Do these pants make me look fat?" I would answer "I do like the black, but they would be even better in blue. What? Oh, wait, just before you repeat your question, I just have to pop down to the shop. Ask me when I get back..."

9) The fries are pretty good, but the burgers are garaunteed to make anyone laugh. Although there is a choking hazard, so I wouldn't suggest putting them in your mouth.

10) Well, this is pretty easy. The answer of course would be "I do like the black, but they would be even better in blue. What? Oh, wait, just before you repeat your question, I just have to pop down to the shop. Ask me when I get back..."

11) I think the pertinent question should be: which one is more afraid of me? Take the response from that question, reverse the order, and you have the answer to your own question.

Having said that, I have swam at a beach less than ten metres from a shark, who we spotted when a wave was coming in and was backlit by the sun to reveal a 12 foot Great White swimming by. Didn't bother me.

I almost got bit (I am talking about an inch away here) by the deadliest spider in the world, and it didn't bother me.

But my cat brought in a perfectly healthy mouse once and dropped it in my bathroom. When I tried to catch the poor little guy to let him go back outside, the little bastard bit me and wouldn't let go. THAT bothered me.

I swung my hand around wildly, accidently braining him against the bathroom counter, and only THEN did the little bastard let go. So I let my cat have him. Won't be biting me again, I can tell you.

12) New Zealand Warriors. Especially the away strip. Too cool. The next best would be the All Blacks, but that doesn't really count seeing as they are, well, all black.
