My cat Vapor can predict when I'm going to feed him by insistently meowing and pawing at my face and or legs, until i give up and feed him a second dinner. Bastard.

Deep under the Ocean.
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif] I remember being fascinated by a story about night scuba diving. It was told to me when I was young and impressionable. My teacher had been night diving with her new husband. She plunged into the water with only a flash [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]light. Her [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]instructions were to follow the rope dangling from the[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif] boat to a specific depth before turning off her light and letting go of the rope. She was terrified. Beyond her beam of light was nothing. Darkness. She agonized over this for a long time. Finally, she did it. A paralysing blackness took hold at first. Then, once her eyes adjusted, the sky above glowed overhead brighter than she had ever seen. The ocean floor, meters below, was brilliantly displayed in a million colours.[/FONT]
Now, that would be worth seeing. A miraculous sight right here on earth. I have yet to do this but it is on my bucket list. My vote is the ocean. Besides, it uses less jet fuel. LOL

I propose this week's month's Bi-monthly question be:
Who will keep this thread going with regular questions? I suggest someone new, currently with less than 40 posts.
This Thread is missing its regular Inquisitor.

Damn, I just miss the cut.
You seem to be pretty good at asking questions, though, Cowboy. Might be you've found yourself a new path in life...

It's my old path. And it got me into lots of trouble....
But you're new around here so I don't think anyone would mind you being the thread's new Inquisitor.

All of these questions were so much fun, so I'm gonna answer all of them. In order:
- Pubert. The Addams family knew their shit.
- Hogwarts. Duh.
- Usually with a whole lot of wine. And hopefully people I care about. :')
- En Julsaga (It's a Swedish cover of Fairytale of New York, with much better singing)
- December 1st. Don't let that red-and-green monster eat Halloween, people!
- Button. Not taking any chances.
- I mostly try to jump into both at the same time. Saves time.
- Biker Mice From Mars and DinoRiders. And TMNT, obviously.
- Jupiter Ascending. AND I LOVED IT.
- Guillermo Del Toro's The Strain. That man does not mess around.
- Travel into space. Have you SEEN some of the messed up things lurking down there? Goblin shark, anyone?!
I have a question!
This question was posted in another thread and I don't an answer. You can answer "Yes" or "No" and be done with the question but what fun is that? Stretch your imagination and creative writing skills and tell me why:
Would it help if it was the pub sheep?

You do realize they lack context for that, right?
There should be visuals.
(Also, this thread has been woefully neglected. I need to fix that.)

These folk are brilliant imaginative writers.
All they ever do is word-wrestle for content.
They need a break!
I read this as: That requires rope....
Heh.
Oh my.
If all the world's a stage...
Where does the audience sit?
If the royal family are doing anything like the Danish royal naming process (too many names referring to some family member in the history if the royal family) then I would say any name ever used by the royal family through out the history of time, would be a bad name...
why you ask...
well because I personally think children should not be given someones history and name to live up to but given their own name to make their own mark and own history. The pressure is there in the name regardless if they are told otherwise, there will always be someone and in the case of the royal child, the press that will remind them of where the name came from and how they should live up to the previous name owner.

The last book I read was V.E. Schwab's VICIOUS, and it was BEYOND good. It's like she took the supervillain mythos and gave it a very strong twist, along with some Gaimanesque elements I really enjoyed. I'm trying to study the way she swaps between character POV's, as I've never tried anything like that before and I'd like to at some point.
I did, once. A goldfish that was a Christmas present when I was 9. I named him Mickey, a la Disney mouse. It died right before we left the country, which was an interesting timing.

Turtles when I was 4 years old. I remember one was named Charlie.
Squirrels adopted me when I was about 9. These kids followed me home and dad allowed me to keep them.
Dog when I was 13. Mixed Collie, Husky, German Shepherd I named TJ Jackson.
Ferret when I was 36. He loved me unconditionally, remained a faithful companion, and added great value to my life.
Now I have a 2-year-old daughter who, while not from the animal kingdom, is still my pet. I am teaching her to speak.
At present I have five cats and four kids. Difficult to say which are the most wild.
Draco Keep, the dormant volcano home of the dragon nation in my novels. I would love to ride on the back of one as it flew through the sky!
A married man with kids? At home of course.
We Three Kings
The tree goes up Thanksgiving night; the lights outside the house never came down from last Christmas.
First I suck in my gut to make buttoning easier.
Shoes, right. Slippers, left. Don't ask me why.
So many to remember, but if I had to pick just one I'd go with He-Man.
Independence Day 2
The Martian
Outer space, man. I was a Trekkie long before I grew dragon wings.

I have been the owner of many pets (we amassed a collection over the years):
Cats: Becky (nasty piece of work), Daisy (got herself pregnant by a stray), Duncan (1 of 2 offspring from Daisy; my favorite pet who died of cancer
), Prince (the second son of Daisy; my sister's cat). All of those childhood cats have passed away. Now I have Oliver (more commonly known as Nugget), a very fuzzy creature who likes to shed everywhere and destroy our furniture)Dogs: Lady (childhood dog with numerous neuroses), Mac (current dog with numerous neuroses)
