No one can truly make you do anything in this life if you don't want to do it, so no.

How did the scandanavians come up with the idea of preparing the dish "Lutefisk" by soaking air-dried cod in a lye solution for several weeks before skinning, boning, and boiling it, a process that gives the dish its characteristic gelatinous consistency?

Demonista_Ravenesque · 12-16-2005, 07:46 PM

Oh those kooky Scandinavians....

Who else is hypnotized by Ben Lahn's avatar?!

rubedo · 12-17-2005, 09:57 PM

it is tantilizing...

so...anyone else here still watch power rangers? i know i do--hell yes i do

Sanctus Dei · 12-18-2005, 03:08 AM

Never started... it's dumb. I watch Voltron.

Who came up with grinding a peanut into a fine paste and crushing berries between bread to make america's most commonly consumed sandwich....and why?!?

edible_eye · 12-18-2005, 03:29 AM

a doctor created peanut butter to help patients who couldn't chew consume adequate protein and calories. jelly, more rightly known as preserves, was created for just that reason. before refrigeration, women would make preserves and leave it in their cellar in order to have fruit during the winter months to stave off scurvy. the combination of the two is a modern day marvel that tastes fuckin' great when you're either too stoned or too drunk to care about much else.

if someone smashed your mouth with a bat and then forced you to eat a lump of steak - do you think you could do it?

Blushing Heliophobe · 12-19-2005, 02:21 AM

If they were serious enough to slam a pregnant chick in the mouth with a baseball bat, then yes, I think I could work up the dedication to gnaw on a steak before they got to work on the rest of me. Or just swallow the damn thing whole.

Who in England decided that it is really, really cool for the entire populace to relive all the bad parts of the Eighties?

Wise Child · 12-19-2005, 03:54 AM

Bad, bad people. I don't know how else to describe them.

Why is it that the only things we've exported that have taken in off in foreign countries are colonialism, Harry Potter, and football hooliganism?

Sanctus Dei · 12-19-2005, 11:52 PM

What about Iron Maiden? *awaits the launch of several pair of heavy black lace ups with her head as target*

edible_eye · 12-20-2005, 05:05 AM

hey, hey, hey! you're out of line. answer and ask, answer and ask...

well, i guess that could technically be used as both, so i'll answer.

i'm listening to maiden right now and they kick fuckin' ass. hallowed be thy name, baby.

if you woke one morning to find a corpse stapled to the ceiling above your bed and suddenly realize it's been dripping cold, dead blood into your mouth while you slept (there's a soft, gelatinous clot of goop in the pocket of your cheek) - what would you do?

Wise Child · 12-20-2005, 05:22 AM

If I had a heavy night the night before, turn over. If I'm compos mentis, probably get up and scream my head off.

Why the hell is there a corpse hanging over my bed?!

edible_eye · 12-20-2005, 05:52 AM

that's what the cops want to know.

the other day, someone cut you off on the road and you vividly remember the person behind the wheel, swerving at you while they passed you on the left, giving you the finger and smiling right before they darted in front of your car. now, today, the doorbell rings and that same person is standing there with one hand behind his back. what do you do?

Wise Child · 12-20-2005, 05:57 AM

Well since I'm apparently a wanted felon I guess the cops are out so ... probably close the door sharpish, in case he's come back to continue the cycle of road-rage and in the hand behind his back is a weapon sharp & pointy closure.

Okay, so - showdown with midnight serial killer or tied for a chair for a week while Mariah Carey plays loudly and constantly, wasps meanwhile stinging you in the eyes.

syn · 12-20-2005, 05:57 AM

Punch him in the face and shut the door.

Was that as good an idea as it first seemed?

Ben Lahnger · 12-20-2005, 10:26 AM

No ... punching him once just aggravates him. I suggest a baseball bat ... take out his knees ... then he won't kick anyone's ass ever. 'course, then he just eventually rolls his wheelchair up to your door and plugs you between the eyes with a bullet when you answer ... so, No again.

What is the funniest song title you ever heard of?

Oh, and so this dueling question doesn't get missed:

Easy choice ... the midnight serial killer ... I stand a chance of surviving that one!

Dark_love_2008 · 12-29-2005, 03:55 PM

Cracker Whore, But I can't remember who sang it

What is the most Ironic thing that has ever happened to you?

Underwater Ophelia · 01-05-2006, 09:31 AM

I got a cell phone. (For a few years, I was on this anti-cell phone kick.)

Which planet would you like to swallow up?

FenrisQueen · 01-06-2006, 01:59 PM

Pluto. Don't really feel dirty enough to say Uranus.

If you had to choose between fun dip and nerds rope, which delectably yummy treat would you eat?

Moonie · 01-06-2006, 07:45 PM

nerds rope, ofcourse. gotta stick with my people.

letters or emails?

Sanctus Dei · 01-07-2006, 03:09 AM

Letter... E-mail lacks the personality of handwriting or the tactile sensation of the paper.

Krispy Kreme or Mini Doughnuts?

Underwater Ophelia · 01-08-2006, 06:41 PM

Krispy Kreme.

How many teacups would you collect when you finally called it quits?

cannibalnuns · 01-09-2006, 09:05 PM

About 6

Little Richard or James Brown?

Empty_Purple_Stars · 01-09-2006, 10:48 PM

The Godfather of Soul, James Brown..

Plus any man that can do as many drugs as Old James has and still manage to evade Troopers in THREE consecutive States, has got to be an entertaining Motherfucker.

Bottom or Top?

edible_eye · 01-09-2006, 11:16 PM

how 'bout licking her bottom from up on top?

if you woke one morning to find yourself restrained while needles were pumping anesthesia into your hands and a man in a mask was sawing through your fingers and subsequently feeding them to a dog - what would you do?

cannibalnuns · 01-10-2006, 12:14 AM

I suppose I would go into shock either from the pain or the experience. I certainly would not think it was cool or rad. I'd turn into a pansy and a little bitch quicker than Michael Jackson changed his skin color. Or either try some reverse psychology *though I doubt THAT would happen*.

Hand-rolled smokes or Already manufactured smokes

edible_eye · 01-10-2006, 12:59 AM

if i still smoked - already manufactured. sometimes i miss my winston's.

let's say you were driving down a fairly well-lit road one night, far enough away from civilization you wouldn't want to walk and your car stalls out. moments later, the street lamps begin to flicker. you try the ignition... once, twice... and get nothing in response, neither a grind of the engine nor a click to reveal any power in the battery. it's dead.

you sit in the dark, wondering what to do and remember your cell phone. moments later, you realize that's dead as well. no light. no signal. and that's when you notice them.

lighted eyes surround your car. you can vaguely make out the long, glistening teeth inside their mouths. they blink in unison, moving forward slowly, as though gauging who you are and what you will do.

your move. what will you do?
