Have you ever wondered wonder what everyone’s favorite ice cream flavour is or what they’d name their pet mothball if they had one? Do you have the sudden urge to scream out random facts about yourself to the chicken perched next to you? Do you wonder if other chickens share your unbelievable dung throwing skills? The most random questions can lead to some interesting and hilarious answers!
All you have to do is post a random question on the board. It should be fairly broad - such as, “What does you name mean?” or “If you had a million Piles of Dung and had to make a sculpture out of it, what would it be?” - are examples of what we’re looking for. Try to avoid questions that give a “yes-or-no” answer. Each week, the most quirky and creative random questions will be put here along with the answers, so make sure you post your questions and answers on the Guild board. Be creative!
When posting your questions and answers, please try to use the word “random” in the sentence so we’ll be able to pick it up quickly when going through the board otherwise your question or answer might be missed. Thanks for your cooperation. If we ever miss your question or answer, just submit it to the Your Say form and we’ll include it.
Special thanks to Eric for his idea and writing the blurb.
What are you going to dress-up as for Halloween? - Maggie
Renee - We will be traveling (see other post), so wont likely get to this year. But, I do love to dress up! I usually help my daughter though!
Princess Kati - I don’t really know what I want to dress up as for Halloween. I’m thinking about dressing up like a pop star. My favorite part of Halloween is the candy!
Maggie - I plan on being a bank robber. I want to make my own costume though… they are so much better that way you know?
Sweet Talula - and maggie and i have decided to dress up together and go out for halloween. we*re going to be bandits with rhinestone masks and money sacks. =) it*ll be so much fun. can*t wait!
Tiny - I will be dressing up though this year. I am thinking of dressing up as Princess Peach.
Megg - Aww, we dont celebrate Halloween here, but I would totally go as a witch for Halloween. Evil cackle and all.
Audi - So I cant decide what I want to dress up as for halloween because it bases on if I can dress up for work. Last year I dressed up as a zombie and it drove the kids at my work crazy! However this year I might not be able to dress up (different boss) but I would like to dress up as a ghost, that is my favorite
Effie - hmm… i didnt dress up last year, it was kairis first halloween and i was all consumed taking them trick or treating i bought these crazy cool butterfly wings a couple years ago, i may don those again… i might hafta answer this again later i still hafta buy their costumes! *so fired*
What is your favourite TV Show? - Pong
Pong - Mine is Gossip girl and iCarly.
Megg - I watch too much TV - Heroes, Survivor, The Amazing Race, Grey’s Anatomy, House, America’s Next Top Model. I also like a lot of astronomy documentaries, been watching a lot of those lately.
Princess Kati - Tom and Jerry
Sweet Talula - hmm, that*s a toughie because i never have time to watch tv, i really like bbc and cnn though. does that count
Emily - I tend to prefer canceled and/or older shows. Right now, I am enjoying Highlander the most. There just is not anything quite like seeing actors pretending to be immortals running around cutting each others (it kills me that I cannot place an apostrophe here) heads off!
Jen Hen - That’s a tough one - I watch more tv than I probably should. I think my top 5 are: Project Runway, Family Guy, Lost, House, and Heroes.
Renee - I have too many! I always have the TV on (even if I’m not really watching it). I guess I have to have that active part of my brain always going. I love watching Three and a Half Men, CSI Miami, House, Boston Legal, Numbers, Biggest Loser, Lipstick Jungle, Desperate Housewives and Criminal Minds. If I’m not working, I tape the shows! Of all of them though, I couldn’t do without House. I know too many doctors actually like him! LOL!!!
Marie - I love RAchael RAy and several others but she is my fav right now.
Effie - since i mostly watch noggin with my kids… id hafta say, the upside down show. definitely, those guys have talent… they crack me up!
Renee - Favorite TV shows - way too many! Depends on what type it is though. Love, love Three and Half Men, all of the CSIs, Boston Legal, and The Big Bang Theory (ROFLOL to that one!) . Oh yeah, cant forget House!! Reminds me of many that I work with!!
Tiny - Well Im having trouble choosing. I dont really have cable so I watch everything on my computer. Right now my favorites are StarGate Atlantis Heroes and Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles. Beyond that I watch CSI although the picture is rather grainy so Im not always sure whats going on.
What’s your biggest fear? - Princess Kati
Princess Kati - For me, it’s speaking in front of people.
Megg - I don’t like public speaking either. But I have semi conquered it of late with this communications course I’ve done recently. Had to get up and speak in front of a group of peers. It didn’t go too badly. I used to get migraines on days that I had to do speeches in class, so I think I’ve done pretty well.
Also driving, I’m petrified to get behind the wheel. Sydney drivers are bloomin’ awful!
Emily - I have so many, but I would definitely say I have two that tie for first - fear of falling and fear of heights. I am really a wimp. XD
Jen Hen - Failure. Ridiculous, but true. It makes it really hard for me to try new things, but I’m working on it and getting a lot better. It’s still really scary though.
Renee - Messing up in my job and actually contributing to someone dying. (Yes, my job could do that!). So, I am ever diligent and careful in what I do!!!
What’s your fave colour out of red, yellow and blue? - Shavonneyu
Princess Kati - Yellow, like the sun, because my mom called me Sunny when I was a baby. I liked being in the light, especially sunlight.
Megg - I like red. I really wish I had of got my Mazda 3 in red instead of grey - it’s so shiny!
Emily - This is so limiting! However, I suppose since these are the primary colors - it makes sense to be asking out of these three… This is difficult, because alone, none of these colors are to my liking. If I had to pick just one of these, I would say blue…but I am picky about what shade of blue. Ultimately, I would have to say my favorite is a blend of red and blue. Purple is my favorite color - however, I am also picky about the shade of purple! haha. There is no simple answer to this!
Jen Hen - Blue for sure. (But purple is even better ^_^)
What is your favorite Olympic event? - Rock Star
Rock Star - Gymnastics, swimming, and fencing. The opening and closing ceremonies are also cool!
Sweet Talula - i’m really enjoying the olympics. a lot more than i remember enjoying them. gymnastics and fencing are my favorites. i love to fence! it looks easy, but it’s super hard. i actually build up a sweat when i practice!
Awesome Amy - My favourite Olympic event is a draw between gymnastics and diving. They are both amazing and they are my fave to watch by a long shot.
Megg - Swimming - not sure why, I guess because we see a lot of it on TV. I’ve been forced to like it? Gymnastics without a doubt. As a former gymnast I can appreciate what these athletes do, they’re amazing!
Pong - Im not a sports fan at all but I just love the opening and closing ceremonies. : )
Audi - my faves are the swimming and equestrian events.
Maggie - I love gymnastics a lot. I know that is a common answer but I just really like it…
Bella - I love fencing having been a fencer and all. But I much prefer the winter Olympics to the summer Olympics, because I adore ice skating, bobsled and skiing.
Jen Hen - Summer Olympics - Gymnastics and Diving. Winter Olympics - Figure Skating and Ice Dancing
What is everyone’s favorite Petpet? - Sweet Talula
Sweet Talula - i think mine is between a snorkle and a babaa. so cute!
Megg - I adore Hassees, Spardels, Quetzals and probably a kazillion of others.
Maggie - My favorite petpet would have to be the pandaphant! So cute!
Rock Star - My favorite petpet is the albriss. I painted her ghost to match my xweetok.
Bella - I have a few favorites… Spardel, Darblat, Gwalla and of course Lutra
Jen Hen - Shocket. I don’t really know why, but I think they are fun looking Zavinn has one for a petpet if you want to check it out and see what they look like.
If you could have any one item in Neopia for free, what would it be? - Princess Kati
Princess Kati - For me, it would be Glittery Faerie Dust.
Megg - I think it would have to be a Ylana Skyfire Plushie. I love her to bits.
Maggie - My dream Item would be the Kayla Usuki Doll. I have a fetish for usuki items. Hopefully one day I will start a collection.
Sweet Talula - If i could have any one thing on neopets it would have to be my old account back… hmmph. but i’d settle with two or three paint brushes.
Awesome Amy - Definitely a Strawberry Fields Forever Paint Brush! I love The Beatles!
Cook Michael - Tough one. I*d love to get a hot dog for my gallery, but I think I would get the most expensive stamp possible, sell it, and then buy loads of other things
Bella - I think I would like to get my hands on a Maverick Plushie for my Gallery… there is currently one available and it*s more than 50 million, though the Cortzan Stamp would also be great for my gallery… hmmm
What’s your favorite cookies, and why? - Juliette
Lola Kat - I like those girlscout cookies that used to be called caramel delights (might still be). I like the crunch and chew of the caramel and cookie. Second to that I like cookies that I make from scratch and I’ll just throw whatever into them like toffee chips.
Plushie Alexandra - I love cookies, but I really like chewy chocolate chip cookies, and sugar cookies. Yummy!!!!
Rock Star - I love chocolate chip and sugar cookies!
Bella - I love snickerdoodle cookies, which are basically sugar cookies with cinnamon, though some people like to add nuts or chocolate chips to them.
Jenny Lynn - Prolly chocolate chip, my stepmom makes really good ones. They are puffy and kinda chewy. I have a vanilla wafer addiction at the moment, but that will pass and i do not know if you consider that a cookie.
Awesome Amy - Choc chip. No doubt about it, I don’t really know why but I think that chocolate chip cookies are amazingly tasty!
Cook Michael - Me hehe
Who likes bananas?!? I’m curious! *laughs insanely* - Princess iomyia
Megg - I tend to eat banana flavoured things. I love a good banana cake! Yum, it’s one of my favourite cakes. I like bananas in cereal as well, mmm.
Samantha - I’ve never liked bananas. Everyone I know thinks I’m weird, but I think they are weird.
Amy - I love bananas! Today I had Banana Split cake. It was soooo good. And I love the smell of bananas. I entered a pet in the contest once, and voted once.
Lola Kat - I have a weird reaction to bananas and they make my mouth burn a little so I don’t eat them that often. Sometimes I’ll really want to and just deal with it but most of the time I don’t.
Lily - Bananas are awesome, because they and pears are like the only fruit I eat other than smoothies. They just disappoint me because the potassium doesn’t burst into flame when you put a banana in water ;_; There go my dreams…
Rock Star - I like bananas. I didn’t know so many people didn’t like them!
Bella - Yuck! I hate raw bananas. In fact the smell of a raw banana makes me sick to my stomach… on the other hand I LOVE grilled banana, dried bananas and even fried plantains. Cooking them makes them so much sweeter.
Jenny Lynn - I typically like bananas quite a bit, Banana splits, banana split blizzards, banana with pb, i saw that banana milkshakes with honey are good for when you make yourself not feel well *shifty eyes* have not tried that yet though. I have not had a banana cake I have been wondering about that, especially with sprinkles, but oh well. I have not actually eaten a whole banana since first grade, like peeled one and took a bite. i am scared of them. I lost my tooth in a banana and i can not just bite into one since then. I know that i was little and my tooth was loose and it was a baby tooth, but still i can not do it. *shivers*
Awesome Amy - Banana’s don’t really tickle my fancy all that much, I guess they’re okay but I’ll only eat them if I absolutely have to.
Cook Michael - *Insert smiley being sick* Bananas are evil things. The texture of them is just urgh!
Do you enter your pets in the Customisation Spotlight? How often do you vote in the Customisation Spotlight? - Megg
Amy - I entered a pet in the contest once, and voted once.
Lily - I don’t really care about customizing my pets, except for Ynaa, who looks AWESOME thanks to Customization, rofl. I never look at or vote in the Spotlight though, doesn’t really seem like a talent to me.
Rock Star - I like to enter my pets in the customization spotlight. I was trying to get more wearables for my pets, but that has been put on hold since I am trying to get the secret laboratory map set. I got the cheapest piece! Anyways, I vote if I don’t have anything to do.
Jenny Lynn - Nope, still no baby clothes, plus FLox is so random looking haha, I put just about anything on her. Flur is so cute half Bionic looking, maybe I should enter him. What about you? Oh and i’ve never voted in that.
Awesome Amy - Haha, no! I didn’t even know there was such a thing! I’m so behind! xD
Cook Michael - Never and never! Never even thought about it to be honest!
And since the Altador Cup is coming up, what team do you support? - Star Girl Aimee and Yoza
Megg - First year I supported Mystery Island, the year after I supported Shenkuu. This year, I’ll probably go Shenkuu again since I love all things Shenkuu. Although if Kreludor participate this year (and I have a really strong feeling they might since the Sloth plot earlier on in this year), I might consider joining their team, maybe. But it’s going to be tough to decide.
Eddie - I relized that the Altador Cup is coming up soon again, And I am rooting for Kwark Island. Woot.
Mei - I am thinking about picking Shenkuu. No real reason just they did okay this year, or I guess last year so maybe… You must really love Kois if that is the reason you are picking Maraqua. They are so cute though.
Lola Kat - I will probably be doing haunted woods again for my team this year for altador cup. I did it the first year from the get go (after using their team selector) and then second year so why not. I am horrible at the cup game so it is not like I actually contribute much other than moral support.
Neodragon - This is just my first month on on Neopets,so far,I like Shenkuu the most,so I guess..Shenkuu!
Audi - Haunted Woods, that was the team I chose in the first Altador Cup so Im going to stick with it. I hope the Cup starts soon!
Bella - I haven’t completely decided but I am leaning toward Roo Island, which I during the First Cup. I am also hoping to have some free time to actually play it this year.
Jenny Lynn - I’m with Altador have been for 3 years now, they have an Elephante goalie, very cute. And I like Roman/Greekesque things(has to do with the 5 years of Latin). I would feel bad choosing a different team, plus i’m not sure who’d i’d choose, maybe if someone else gets an Elephante . . .
Awesome Amy - Krawk Island ftw!
Cook Michael - Krawk Island. Every year, and will continue to be with them every year If they should ever not enter, then I couldn*t play for anyone else. My loyalties are tied
What do you think of TNT allowing pets to be traded? - Princess iomyia
Princess iomyia - I’m against it. I think it’s just makes it easier for people to be scammed. I think TNT is starting to give in to the people who don’t want to abide by the rules. I mean, at first they were completely against pet trading and now they’re allowing it. Maybe they still frown upon pet trading, but I think they never should have allowed it in the first place. The pound is being abused now more than ever. Sometimes, I can’t help but wonder if the same thing would happen if people were allowed to trade actual animals. I’d feel sorry for every one of them.
Mei - I personally like that your pets can be traded because it makes it so much easier with side accounts and everything. But you are right it is an easier way to be scammed. Much easier. Just be careful with it.
Aytrus Andrew - I agree with you on the trading. I don’t like it at all. It just starts up a whole new set of problems with scammers. With the new transfer system there was bound to be people trying to trade anyway but TNT giving it a green light purely because of this reason just means that everyone will just go ahead and do it. I can see a whole lot of problems starting because of this. Hopefully if such problems do arise then the team will do something about it as soon as possible.
Megg - I don’t mind the pet trading… I think it would be wiser to do it with someone you know, though. I wouldn’t trade a pet with someone who I just met on the NeoBoards.
Bella - I have had bad feelings about it this whole time. If your account is hacked someone could easily steal your favorite neopet by sending it to themselves. I mean it’s great that they limit the number of transfers each month, but I think about each of my pets as kids and to lose one would be heartbreaking. (Yes I know they are pixels but I’ve had each of them almost 8 years each - except Amach)
Lola Kat - There was a question about pet trading… People have been doing that forever through the pound and it was ok then and at your own risk then. I don’t want to trade any of my pets and I don’t don’t do that whole application process for the pets I adopt, lab map and repound so I have little use for the transfer option.
I’d imagine that plenty of people are going to get their pets stolen or tricked into things they didn’t intend. And I’m sure there will be some black market for desirable pets even though taking points or items for a pet isn’t allowed it won’t stop it from happening.
Jenny Lynn - I’m up for trading Neopets, but only really for avatars and to go to a side account, or to zap for someone else something like that, so it’s not such a gamble with the pound.
Awesome Amy - I think it’s a supercalafragalistic idea! They took their time to get the pound up and running again and now, I appreciate the fact that they are trying to improve it in many ways. I am definitely on TNT’s side with this idea!
Cook Michael - I*ve traded two neopets since it was introduced, and I think it is a handy tool to have. I do think it is too open to abuse though. The 1 pet transfer a month will help to stop that though.
Do you like your “shield”? And if you could make your own shield character, what would you make? - Blue Wendy
Megg - With out a doubt - either Werther from the Lost Isle plot slash Sloth plot. Or Ylana cause she’s one hip Acara.
Pacific Julie - If I could design my own it would probably be an island petpet or pet of some sort…. or a mystery island item! That would be neat!
Blue Wendy - btw if I had my choice I would have my shield be something to do with Illusen. DUH! I know you guys saw that one coming. No originality. I know that they already have an Illusen shield, so I would have to come up with something great. Or maybe a “lifetime member shield” with like a special neopian crest. That would be really cool!
Tillie - I love my shield right now, its a fiery Scorchio or something. Fire is awesome. Except when its your shop or house, trust me, i know. XP If i could make my own shield, it would have a squid on it of course!
Jen Hen - Not really. Plus it stinks since it’s the sixth one, so I’m stuck with it until neo decides to update them (probably “early next week” ). If I could choose, I’d change mine up a lot. I love variety
Rock Star - If I could have any shield, I would have one with one of my neopets in it. (They would be customized)
Mei - Well my shield right now is a blue poogle. I really am not a big fan of poogles. I personally don*t like them. Of course no offense to any of you amazing chooks that do! And if I could make my own shield I would make a Vira one. I think she looks wicked!
Bella - Shields - I hate my shield. I’ve been stuck with the 6 year shield for what feels like forever, heck I’ve been here almost 7.5 years already. It always seems like Neopets forgets us veterans… no newbie packs, fewer chances for Rainbow Faerie quests, and of course shields. If I could design a shield, I would use more of the petpets… many of them are too cute!
Jenny Lynn - While I do find the Bringer Plushie to be just marvey. It would be nice to get a new shield, seriously. I have a serious affinity to plushies, so maybe if the shield itself were a plushie. Cute! Really just about anything new would be nice, I’d even be willing to settle for a yearly shield change instead of monthly like before.
Awesome Amy - At the moment, no, I don’t like my shield. It’s just a blue lupe with a yellow shield in the background. If I could design a shield I’d probably make a Strawberry Fields Forever Paintbrush shield!
Cook Michael - My shield has just changed to 5 years so yes it looks pretty cool! And if I could make my own, it would have to be a hot dog shield
How many languages do you speak and what are they? How fluent are you in any secondary languages? - Melorah
Melorah - Obviously, I speak English and Japanese. English is my native language, and I*m not the best at Japanese, but I speak it well enough to talk to my native Japanese friends without problems, and also to write in Japanese. There*s plenty of kanji that confuses me (or that I simply do not know), but I could get by just fine in Japan alone if necessary. Yes, I*m confident. Haha. ^_^ I dislike watching Japanese movies or programs that are subtitled (which I have to do if I*m watching with friends), because subtitles are often so terribly wrong and way off when it comes to Japanese-to-English translation. I just end up being disruptive and yelling,
That*s not what he just said!
, over and over. Hey, no wonder friends don*t like watching Japanese things with me. It all makes sense in hindsight. Haha.
Megg - I can count to 10 in German, know a little bit of Indonesian and know a few words of Japanese. They’re all the languages I took in high school which was over 15 years ago now, hehe.
Shara - I only speak English. I know a little Spanish. I had to learn some when I was the Supervisor in poultry where I worked for 19 years. Sadly I only learned enough to get me through work. Shawna may take it while in College, if she does I will learn it Fluently then. Ha Ha.
Samantha - I speak English and I know a little spanish. I took spanish kindergarten to 6th grade. I decided in 7th to try something new so I took French. I don’t remember any of it except for oui and non, of course. Haha. Than in 8th grade I took German, don’t remember much of that either. 9th grade I decided to take Spanish again because language was required, but 10th wasn’t, so I didn’t take any after that. Maybe next year in college I will, probably not though.
Namine - I speak two at the moment(not includeing french, spanish, and latin wich where manditory in grade 8) and i think i will keep it at two. japanese and english are the only ones im actually fluent in though. im fluent in english, though my spelling is lacking for what i can tell by the very few words i can actually spell without usuing spell check. and ofcorse im fluent in japanese, it being my first learned one and all…
Blue Wendy - Unfortunately I know just enough Spanish to find a bathroom, ask someone how they are, and order dinner. French, well, let*s just say I would be lost. I can count to ten. Does that count? lol.
Lola Kat - I speak English, some Spanish, a little Italian, I can understand some French and I “speak” American sign language (which is actually kind of complicated to learn grammar wise).
Tillie - Well i know a tiny bit of Spanish since i took it for two years in high school (though i forgot most of it), and some Russian because i took a year of that in college and learned some when i went to Moscow as an exchange student, and i know enough German to be able to read simple books and poetry and stuff but im not too great at speaking it yet. German is the only language im actively trying to learn at the moment. I intend to study Russian again later but its harder so im putting it off. I love languages but i need to meet people who actually speak them if im to have any luck becoming fluent.
Jen Hen - Well, there’s English of course (but only American English, not British English or Australian English, or any other type of English). I also took a few years of Spanish in elementary and high school. I remember a bit of it, but I’m nowhere near fluent (and my accent is awful). I also know a bit of sign language.
Rock Star - I speak English. I know some basic words or phrases in Spanish.
Mei - As you can probably tell my native tongue is English. I did used to speak Italian for when I lived in Italy for a year but now I have forgotten after never using it again. I also know a little bit of Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese, and German. Don*t freak out or anything though about knowing 6 languages. I know about 10 words each.
Bella - Languages - I speak several languages at varying levels. I speak English as a first language and French as a second. But like I’ve said before I speak Quebecois French which is a strange dialect of the language. I also know a bit of Hawaiian, Spanish, Gaelic/Irish and Latin, as well as American Sign Language. I am thinking about going for classes in Arabic… but we will see.
Cook Michael - Well my main language is English, and I know the very basics of French and German, and I mean basics! I wouldn*t be able to go there and have conversations with people though. It*s a major problem with England that we are terrible at learning different languages. We go to places like Spain and just expect the natives to speak our language. I was never any good at French and German at school though. How I managed to pass my French GCSE I*ll never know!
Jenny Lynn - I speak English. I know a very little Spanish, Japanese, and American sign language. Oh, I guess I know a little Latin too, I took 5 years of Latin in high school. I took 4 semesters of Spanish in college. I took a class on sign language at my church so I could help sing songs and talk a little to a lady who went to my church. My friends are Japanophiles and are making me one too, they can speak Japanese fairly well and teach me some.
Awesome Amy - I speak English (duhhh) very, very fluently. I also speak Italian but I’m not really superb at that, I’m just good with the basics and the simple stuff! But I reckon if I went to Italy, I’d speak to the Italians just fine.
What’s your favorite Disney movie? - Samantha
Samantha - Mine is the Lion King. :] It has such a great storyline and the characters are amazing. The only downside of it is that it makes me cry every time I watch it!
Megg - Do I have to choose just one? Well I’m going to cheat a little bit, my fave Disney movie is Finding Nemo. But that’s a Disney/Pixar release. Apparently The Lion King is the all time fave Disney movie.
Blue Wendy - Wow, you mean I have to pick? Well my all time favorite is Sleeping Beauty, but that is mostly because I still like to pretend I am Princess Aurora. I know I am 34, but some women are still little girls at heart. lol. Lion King does make me cry also. I can not seem to watch the part where Mufasa dies. That tears me up every time. And when Simba is talking to his dad, Mufasa, up in the sky and in the reflection in the pond, ‘clutches chest’, total water works. Otherwise I would have to agree with you on that being my favorite. It just chokes me up too much too watch it. I am a total Disney freak too. Hence the Disney World Honeymoon.
Melorah - I would have to say that Lion King is my favorite Disney movie. When it came out, it was the first Disney movie I’d seen in a long time that really captured me. I went to see it in the theater when it was released around 18 times. I also have a collection of Simba items that I bought at random when I’d see stuff. (My favorite is a stuffed, talking Simba.) Back then, I’d bought the movie on VHS and like you, I missed getting it on DVD. Luckily, when one of my roommates moved in, she had the special edition 2-disc DVD of it, so I get to enjoy seeing it on DVD too. ^_^
I also think I have an added soft spot for the Lion King because my dad passed away several years ago, and Mufasa’s death and Simba’s reaction just really tug at my heart strings. When Mufasa tells him that he’ll always be there watching over him… I sob like crazy!
And I adore Timone. XD
Other Disney movies I really like are The Aristocats, Cinderella, Aladdin, and Sleeping Beauty. ^_^
Jen Hen - That’s such a hard question. Disney makes such great movies and I love them all! I think Aladin and Mulan are two of my favorites though. I love feisty leading ladies.
Pacific Julie - I have so many favorite Disney Movies! My very favorite is probably Robin Hood… But I just bought Enchanted and I L-O-V-E it!
Wise Christine - there are too many disney movies that i love and could not pick just one. i do love finding nemo though. love the lion king too. it also makes me cry. i remember seeing it in the movie theatre.
Mei - Well thats difficult because I have seen so many… I guess it would be Beauty and the Beast. I absolutely love the personification brought to all of the house items.
Bella - I have a few favorites such as Oliver & Company, the Great Mouse Detective… ooh and the Rescuers Down Under. Ever since seeing the Rescuers Down Under I have wanted to visit Australia. Maybe someday I’ll get there… I also want one of those Nile Monitors that the villain in the movie has.
Cook Michael - There are too many! I’d go with the Jungle book though.
Jenny Lynn - My favourite Disney cartoons are The Sword in the Stone and Robin Hood. I own most Disney cartoons, I’m trying to get them all, but movies can be a bit expensive. I’m not really sure why I like those so much. I just love Disney movies, so . . .
What’s your favorite children’s book? - Bella
Bella - “The Giving Tree” and “Oh! the Places you Will Go!”
Megg - I remember reading these Sesame Street books when I was a kid. There were about 20 of them. I remember getting chocolate all over one of them, the pages sure did smell nice, it was a Milky Way chocolate, hee.
Stacey - My fave childrens book is The Lorax by Dr. Seuse
Melorah - Mine was Go, Dog Go! by P.D. Eastman when I was a kid. It came released in a set of Dr. Seuss books from Random House in the early 1980’s (1981, I think) but it was published in 1961. Nobody I know has ever heard of that book. My mom says she got so sick of reading that to me. Haha! other favorites were The Tale of Benjamin Bunny and The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin by Beatrix Potter. I still enjoy reading Beatrix Potter. ^_^
Jen Hen - love Dr. Seuss. His books have such wonderful messages. I especially love The Lorax, The Butter-Battle Book, The Star-Bellied Sneetches, Horton Hears a Who, and Oh, the Places You’ll Go.
Pacific Julie - I had a book as a child about an old women named Strega Nona who would make pasta in a magic pot and blow it three kisses when it was done. I’m not sure what it was called but I loved it. (Just googled it.. It’s called Strega Nona. haha. There is a cute review at Amazon if you are curious!) I really enjoy Harry Potter books and of course Dr. Seuss! I liked, And to think I saw it on Mulberry Street.
Mei - I love The Giving Tree and the Peter Cottontail stories. And all Dr. Suess Books… They are great!
Lola Kat - Where the Wild things Are or Alice in Wonderland. My parents were hippies what can I say. lol
Namine - one book i used to love my dad reading to me was go dog go by dr. seuse(sp?) i didnt understand half of it, but the pictured of dogs in little cars always cracked me up!
Cook Michael - I loved reading the Famous Five and the Secret Seven when I was younger. And books by Roald Dahl. The man was simply a briliant author. His books should be used more prominently in getting children to read more.
Jenny Lynn - As a kid, Green Eggs and Ham by Dr.Seuss was my favourite, I also liked Each Peach Pear Plum and Where the Wild Things Are. I see Dr.Seuss is pretty much a staple which is great he was an amazing writer. He revolutionized teaching kids to read. When he started out it was only those Dick and Jane books, which are not very interesting, and he told the people in charge that and they gave him a list of words and told him to see if he could do better and he came up with The Cat in the Hat. I would say he did much better.
If you could go ANYWHERE on holiday, where would you go? - Blue Wendy
Blue Wendy - I would go back to Walt Disney World for a second Honeymoon, lol. Well either there or Italy. I would love to see Italy.
Megg - Hands down, no questions asked - the Maldives. Oh it looks glorious and magnificent there. Simply amazing. I can see myself laying under a palm tree, coconut in hand, relaxing like there’s no tomorrow. Bliss!
Pacific Julie - Oh, so many places! I would want to take one of those cruises around the world. That would be amazing. Australia, New Zealand, Galapagos Islands, China, Japan, Hawaii, Turks and Caicos, Greece, the list goes on.
Mei - If I could go anywhere for a holiday I would choose Peru because it is so tropical with the Amazon and I want to go see Machu Pichu… one of the 7 wonders of the world.
Cook Michael - Very difficult question. I haven’t really been to many places in my life, but I hope that one day I’ll be able to go to America. Not sure exactly where, but I would love to see some of the natural elements of the country, away from the bright lights of the cities.
Jenny Lynn - I definitely wanna go to Japan, but ideally I’d like to live there for like a year, so let’s say I can do that which prolly means I also get to live in NYC for a year and London, so I wouldn’t need to go on holiday there, I’ve always wanted to go the the Great Barrier Reef for my Honeymoon, so i wouldn’t wanna go to Australia, so I’d say a trip across Europe. I haven’t decided if I want to live in Cali for a year or not. It’d have to be a pretty long holiday though to do Europe right.
What is your favorite holiday? - Rock Star Elle
Rock Star Elle - Mine is personally Christmas/ Hannakuh (sp?), you get to see so much family!
Tillie - Halloween!
Blue Wendy - Well it used to be Halloween, but now that I have my Husband and his family, as well as my own, I have to say I have come to really appreciate the sights, sounds, and love of the Christmas season.
Bella - Halloween! There are lots of reasons, my mom’s birthday is the day before so Halloween was always a big holiday growing up. But as I got older, I started to work in campaigns making my life CRAZY and it marks the week before Election Day when my life can return to normal.
Lola Kat - Usually halloween but the kids like never come to my house anymre for trick or treating so it*s not as fun for me anymore. Sometimes I don*t mind christmas but only because I like to drive around later at night on christmas eve on my own in the quiet listening to radio christmas carols and staring into peoples houses as I go by to see what they*re doing. I don*t know. I am not like creepy about it but just as i go by I glance in if the curtain is open.
Cook Michael - Easter is always good. I get two extra days off work because of the bank golidays
Jenny Lynn - Christmas, I love buying presents for people and watching them open it, plus people are usually nicer at Christmastime. I get to see my whole family and not work for a couple of days.
Does falling for a loser make you a loser? - Trinity Tusaani
Trinity Tusaani - I’d say no because if you were to marry a smart person, you wouldn’t become smart just because you marry him/her, right? So far my friends agree. 3 no’s and 1 yes.
Megg - Yes and no. Depends on what loser like qualities he has. If it’s minor loser like, then not so bad. But if it’s major loser like, then not so good. See falling for and marrying someone is completely different. If you just like a loser, then no harm done. I dunno, it’s complicated ^^
Namine - no, i dont think so. but it depends on what kind of mind-set you have. if your like me, and always fall for the videogame/anime people (aka every guy i hang out with) they arnt concidered losers because they are your friends.
Blue Wendy - Nope. Everyone has a different definition of what a loser is. And you are only a loser if you suddenly give up on yourself. Continue being you, stay true to your beliefs and don*t let other peoples actions create who you are. You can*t help who you fall in love with, but you CAN help how you handle the situation.
Cook Michael - Not at all. We all make mistakes in life, and you learn from them and become a better person. I know I have
Which girl scout cookie is your favorite? - Blue Wendy
Blue Wendy - Mine are the Caramel Delights. They used to be called Samoas or something like that. They are the best. If I eat all of those, its on to the Thin Mints. I have a cookie addiction problem, lol. Good night all!
Wise Christine - thin mints are my fav girl scout cookie!
Megg - We don’t have Girl Scout cookies here. I think I would like all of them though. They’ve got heaps of peanut butter ones - so any of those would suit me to a T.
Samantha - Than my favorite Girl Scout cookies are definitely Thin Mints. I could eat a whole box of them. Probably more. Haha.
Rock Star Elle - Oooh! Cookies? Well- I have to say I LOVE Thin Mints, Somoas, and this other one… oh.. boo… ooh, Tagalongs! Yes! This little girl came to my house and I ordered 3 boxes of each.
Tillie - Well, i was a Girl Scout for a number of years and sold over 1000 boxes for a couple years in a row (which is really a lot, if youve never sold Girl Scout cookies before) so im tempted to say im just plain sick of them, lol. But those Caramel Delights (Samoas) are just TOO good; they were always my favorite.
Bella - I am a lifetime girl scout! I am a hug fan of the Tagalongs and Do-dis-dos (Peanut Butter between two oatmeal cookies - there you go Megg… it’s mildly healthy and peanut buttery) GS Cookies sell themselves. As a Campus Girl Scout (College Aged Scouts) we use to bring troops to campus and had them sell cookies in the student center, they sold like 10,000 boxes a year just on our campus.
Lola Kat - When I can hunt them down and find a seller of them I like caramel delights or whatever they are called now. They had a strawberry one for a second I liked too but it*s gone now.
Cook Michael - Well I’ve never had a girl scout come round to my house trying to sell me a cookie, or anything for that matter! I used to be in the Scouts myself a long time ago.
Jenny Lynn - Thin Mints are my favourite. For the new Indiana Jones movie M&M’s came out with Crispy Mint M&M’s and they remind me of Thin Mints, yummy. It’s kinda weird though, because I don’t really like mints, I like mint chocolate chip ice cream too, especially when it’s green(Haagen Daaz makes one that’s not green b/c it’s more natural white, but it’s just not the same). I like Andes Mints, but not really Peppermint Pattys, hmmm, idk.
Have you broken any bones? If yes, what and how? - Megg
Megg - I broke my left arm in 6th grade during fitness class. We were doing exercise on the outdoors basketball court which had the fake grass on the ground. We got split up into teams and were told to race across the basketball court… running backwards. Only I could manage to fall over and smack my arm on the ground. I may even have passed out for a second. The teacher sent me up to the nurses office, on the way I almost passed out. My mum came to pick me up at some point. I went home and rested on the couch all day my arm in terrible pain. I had a doctors appointment that day for some other related thing. I mentioned to the doctor that my arm was sore. So he ordered some x-rays. Yup, turns out my arm was broken and I got a cast put on. I had to go back to hospital a week or so later because the break wasn’t clean, or they didn’t set my arm right. In to surgery I went and they rebroke my arm and set it right. I was in a cast for about 6 weeks. I was never so glad to get it taken off. My left arm, the one I broke, is a little bit shorter than my right only by a centimetre and my wrist bone sticks out way more than my right one does.
Samantha - I actually have never broken a bone(yet). I have sprained and twisted them pretty badly which hurts, I cant imagine the pain of breaking a bone feels like. Yikes.
Sarah - Nope! ‘touches wood’ I’m not terribly adventurous, even if I am a bit clutsy
Jen Hen - Despite the fact that I am a complete klutz (I tripped walking up the stairs from the subway today for example) Ive never broken a bone. ‘knock on wood’ Im hoping to keep it that way.
Tillie - Nope, i’ve actually never broken a bone, or even really gotten hurt, despite the skiing accident in which i jumped, landed against a tree, and broke a ski (d’oh). And despite the rollover car accident (double d’oh). I am indestructible!
Cook Michael - Nope, not that I am aware of anyway. No idea how either. I have had that many bumps and bruises over the years I think it is only a matter of time! I did however lose a little bit of my ear when I fell off my bike at a young age (wear a helmet kids!).
Trinity Tusaani - Nope and proud of it. All that milk I drink has to amount for something. The closest I’ve come to horrible injury was the time a jeep ran over my foot in the fourth grade. I’d tell you what ended up happening to my toe but I think that might end up falling under the ‘too much info’ category.
Bella - None thankfully (knocks on wood). I have however ripped the tendon in my ankle. I was running up wet stairs at college and slipped off the step and fell down the whole flight backwards, knocking over all my classmates and the professor. (I am a klutz). It still hurts almost all the time, and that was like 5 years ago. I spent 9 months on crutches after the accident.
Namine - yes, a few too. my left arm when i fell out of a tree. my leg (i cant remember which one) when i fell out of my friends play house roof. and my right big toe when i kicked the wall out of anger. but im un-broken today (for now…)!
Jenny Lynn - No broken anything. I wanna keep it that way too.
Which came first the chicken, the egg or Megg? - Bella
Bella - I am inclined to believe the egg, only because dinosaurs had eggs and the chicken evolved later, if you believe in evolution. If you believe in creationism, then the chicken came first, as it would have been silly for the creator to make eggs rather than actual animals. But in either case, Megg is still a spring chicken in comparison.
Megg - Megg definitely came first. All good things come first! ’shifty eyes’
Blue Wendy - Which came first the chicken, the egg or Megg?~ I think I am gonna vote for Magnificent Megg.( At least as far as the guild is concerned. She is the all wise and wonderous Megg and we are very lucky to have her.) But, now if you are talking planet Earth wise, well I have to agree that the egg came first. The chicken had to come from somewhere.
Sarah - Well, in terms of chronological order, it’ld have to be either the chicken or the egg, but naturally, in order of priority, we’d have to put the Megg first, won’t we?
Jen Hen - A circle has no beginning (A cookie if you get the reference!) Aside from that, Im going to go with the chicken. When I think of the egg coming first, I picture an egg just randomly poofing into existance onto a giant patch of grass somewhere, so in my head, the chicken coming first makes more sense…much more sense than that answer made Oh, but for sure Megg came last because youve always got to save the best for last!
Cook Michael - The ChiMegg.
Trinity Tusaani - I’ll give you my cretive answer instead of my Supernerd one. I’d say the egg since they had dinosaur eggs before chickens. Hey you didn’t say what kind of egg =)
Jenny Lynn - Megg came first, she made the guild. I joined and she deemed me an egg, then eventually I became a chicken. Right now I’m a goalkeeper, but I’m always a chicken.
What’s the scariest movie you’ve ever watched, or what was your favorite horror film? - Lady Legolas
Megg - Scariest movie you ever saw. I know people will laugh, but it was Gremlins. I had nightmares for months after I saw it when I was a kid. I was convinced there was a giant Gremlin outside at night, I could even see the shadow ‘hides’
Shara - I love scary movies. I just do not think they make them scary. They are making them more gross than scary I think. My opinion though. My son gets scared but I do not. I enjoy watching them with him. He jumps and yells. He is 21. It is funny.
Bella - I am not a big fan of horror; I love B rated horror flicks. But I do have a favorite. A long time ago in 1987, a director, whom many of you should know, by the name of Peter Jackson. He shot the movie over a few weekends with friends using his personal equipment on this no-budget film, until the New Zealand Art/Movie Commission was so impressed with what he already shot that they gave him some cash. Tons of gore and such, but absolutely great (and funny). I also love the fact that it is Peter Jackson. It just goes to show what you can do when you practice.
Sarah - I don’t like scary films D: They’re… scary (wow, I didn’t see that one coming) and I don’t think there’s been a single scary movie I’ve seen that hasn’t totally freaked me out, so I can’t rank them… and I most definitely don’t have a favourite! I much prefer a comedy (Death at a Funeral was a laugh).
Tillie - The scariest movie i’ve ever watched is the original Amityville Horror…not particularly scary by my current standards (no movie is), but i was little when i saw it, and i remember it as the ONLY movie that EVER scared me…and i was terrified. lol I wish a movie could still do that to me, it would be fun…
Cook Michael - I love horror films. All the Saw films in my opinion are brilliantly made.
Trinity Tusaani - I’m not much of a scary/horror movie person. The only horror movie I’ve really watched was “Chainsaw Massacre” and I only watched it because it was my friend’s birthday. It wasn’t that scary.
Jenny Lynn - I am a horror movie junkie, whether it’s Hollywood blockbusters, B-movies, Japanese originals, or black and white "classics" I wanna see it. No matter how good or bad, gory or stupid. They can be good for a scare, a laugh, or just plain entertainment. Horror’s a great genre!
