Happy 8,000 Hipster. Heres to 8,000+!

This is usually the only forum that I post on. I like to read others.

What are your plans for the evening?

Thanks.

Not much. My girlfriend is in bed with some kind of virus. That means internet and shortwave for me, I would imagine.

Is there anything yellow in the room that you're in?

Good question. A yellowish glow from a candle, but thats about it. Does sun light count as yellow?

Do have any indoor plants you tend to?

Several cacti and 'living stones'/lithops by the kitchen window, and one thing that was a present from my girlfriend's workplace.

What was the last thing you picked up off the floor?

I think it was oxygen tubing at work. I think.

What was the last thing you said out loud?

'I love you'.

What is the last thing you were given for free?

Well, Sonicl sent me a song via PM today. That was certainly free.

Do you enjoy snow?

Yes yes yes. I got up a couple of hours early yesterday to take some photographs.

Who is the last person you smiled at?

My co-worker, Edwin.

Currently reading a novel?

No. I usually only read non-fiction.

favourite short story writer?

Hm. I'm going to risk sounding a bit too obvious, but the wit of his stories can't be denied. Anton Chekhov.

Good question, so I'll ask the same. Who is yours?

HP Lovecraft or Giovanni Guareschi.

Do you have a favourite short story?

the Mellon collie death of Oyster boy

Are you obsessed by anything right now?

I do, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce. Great piece of American literature, a must read if you haven't already.

Favorite news outlet?

the washington post.

what's your favorite political magazine, if you have any?

The Spectator.

Which living politician or ex-politician do you like the most?

nelson mandela, in spite of the fuckups. seen him in person, really cool guy.

favorite sandwich?

The Economist.


I have a growing affection for Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel.

A Rueben.

Do you know where the Rueben was invented?

Hip Priest's first: Tony Benn. A man of principles, a very rare occurrence in politics these days.

Favourite sarnie: Cheese and pickle

and WECT's: I don't even know what a Reben is.


Whose photographs do you have on display in your living room?

Its the worlds greatest sandwich, and it was invented in Omaha (hence the question). There are some New Yorkers who claim to have been the first to serve the Rueben, but we all know New Yorkers are habitual liars!

The Rueben:
Dark rye bread, Russian dressing, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, and corned beef.


Unfortunately I have no photographs on the wall in the current room I am in. Perhaps a painting of a Rueben sandwich will do?

Who is your favorite painter?

Hilda Carline or Paul Klee.

Name a favourite painting.

Carlos Catasse's, Arbo Rojo.



Off the top of my head...

Favorite soda?

Proper old fashioned dandelion and burdock. Or Vimto.

Favourite religious or philosophical figure?

Vlad the Impaler.

Do you enjoy public speaking?

No, although I'm preparing for it due to a possible career change type situation.

What was the last thing you threw? Who or what did you throw it at?

I threw a highlighter at my cat when I was trying to sleep and she was clawing at the door?

Guess what you get the gift of super powers from the super power gods, but the gods are tired of giving away invisibility, super strength, and flying, so you have to think of something orginal or they will smite you, so what's it gonna be.

the ability to withstand incredible amounts of pressure, and to breathe through water...

if you had to be one for 20 years: policeman or fireman?

fireman without a doubt. I wouldn't mind putting out fires but I'm not into violence.
do you pee in public?

i wish i could, but i am a girl.

S-k-i-n-t Girls - Pee standing Up with P-mates

Allows women to discreetly wee standing up.
Do you desperately need the toilet but you can’t find one?
Do you queue for a long time when you find a toilet?
When you get into the cubicle is it so dirty you would rather not bother?
Do you sometimes wish you could go anywhere, like the men do?
Are there times when squatting just doesn’t seem appropriate?
Do you think sitting on a public toilet compromises your personal hygiene?
Do you get uncomfortable trying to hold in your pee while hunting for a clean toilet?

Well!! .... P-Mate is your Solution : )
PMate is a portable device small enough to fit in your pocket, purse or bag

Carla

besides chips, what tastes good with avocado?

Goat's cheese.

I can hear the sound of drumming and cheering from the nearby football ground (prenton Park - home of Tranmere Rovers). What can you hear right now?

birds singing, gunshots, helicopters and traffic.

what do you love to hate?

mosquitoes (and if it can be who....then Green Day and Oprah)

Hip Priest- right on! i wondered if anyone else knew about that!...I made an avocado and goat cheese sandwhich a few weeks ago...with some sprouts, tomato, and dijon mustard...it tasted amazing....

Hmmm... Yes.

chicago. it was the most boring place i have ever been.

whats the one place you would like to live if you could live anywhere?

Magdala. I'd take over and rebuild it.

What was the last thing you read (book, newspaper article etc) that made a real impression on you?

A pretty general overview of Stoicism (in Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy). I somehow feel compelled to agree with the beliefs held in such a system, but I think passion is more important than Stoics believe. (the impression it made, however, is wholly personal, and probably not quite obvious)

Same question.
