    The last movie you saw combines with the last game you played and the last book you read.

    Fright Night, Kingdom Rush, The Secret Garden (don't judge me).

    If you could fill a swimming pool with anything but water...

    Baked potatoes. Nom nom nom nom nom.

    Poll: If Jesus ran for president, would you vote for him?

    That commie bastard? Maybe, assuming his beliefs are as they seem in the bible: forgiveness, social justice, redistribution of wealth. Edit: But who's he running against? Where do his mid-east loyalties lie? Was he born in Ammurrca? Where's the birth certificate??

    Poll: Are Ponytails Cool?

    Good, then. Feel free to corner women at parties and explain at length how they are being oppressed by the patriarchy.

    Poll: Are Ponytails Cool?

    Maybe you could do it in twin braids, Willi Nelson style?

    Poll: Are Ponytails Cool?

    Not in and of themselves, no. But if you like it, who cares? But be prepared for people to assume you're some kind of sensitive ponytail man.

    Is America going to collapse?

    Frankly, I'm more worried about global water shortages, rising sea levels, and crazy weather doing us all in. Also, why don't I have any pudding?

    You didn't go to college. You went to the safety school for idiots.

    In New Jersey, there's a school called Fairleigh Dickinson. It's down the road from the school I went to, and we always called it "Fairleigh Ridiculous." Years later, I find out that's where Christine O'Donnell went. She's not a witch. She's you.

    What useful skills do you have/are learning?

    I can peel a banana with my toes. I can also tie a cherry stem with my tongue. Anything fruit related and useless, basically. Oh, and I can translate ancient Greek.

    Women love mixed signals like heroin addicts like getting a fix. (Girl trouble)

    People (men and women) like it when someone is interested in them as "more than a friend." It's flattering. It feels good. Even if she has absolutely no desire to ever put on the proverbial collar and baseball cap with you, she probably wants to ensure you're still interested. Because everybody...

    What do you think of poetry?

    Oh, but one of my favorite poems is French! Un petit d'un petit S'étonne aux Halles Un petit d'un petit Ah! degrés te fallent Indolent qui ne sort cesse Indolent qui ne se mène Qu'importe un petit d'un petit Tout Gai de Reguennes.

    Escapism or self-delusion? (re: pointless causes)

    What I thought was interesting was watching it morph from "Cartoons! Just for fun!" to "Do it for the children!" to "OMG pedophiles!" From the looks of things, it started in Greece (or maybe Eastern Europe) as just a fun thing to do, got the 'think of the children' aspect tacked on when it...

    Have you ever used yourself as a source in an academic paper?

    R Really? I was always taught that, if you were using material you'd written and turned in (or published) previously, you had to cite yourself. Otherwise, it's self-plagiarism. But maybe that's just an APA thing?
