1) If you had a 40 hour work week, would you prefer five 8-hour days or four 10-hour days?

Depends on the job...Physically demanding? I'd prefer the five eight hour days. Handing receipts to the customers at the movie store? I'll take the four tens.

2) Do you pee in the shower?

Yup. But not from outside the shower.:D

3) Hyacinths or Daffodils?

Hyacinths.

4) Would you rather write a poem or sketch an animal?

I would cut off my right leg w/rusty fingernail clippers if I could draw anything.

5) Do you take any vitamin or mineral supplements?

Nope.

6) What's the best pasta shape?

Idk, but I'm partial to the elbow macaroni with the little tiny ridges. Or bowties.

7) Which baby animal do you most associate with Spring?

Freshly hatched robins.

8) Do you have any houseplants?

No, but I think I'm the primary caregiver for a sad Easter lily at The Shack. I give it a shot glass of water daily, and set it outside when it's warm and sunny enough.

9) tight or loose underwear?

Not too tight, but tight enough to keep things where they're supposed to be.[/containmentissues]

10) What is your favorite Spring activity?

Photo Safari (since it looks like there ain't gonna be no more outdoor fuckin').

Gravdigr 03-22-2019 11:15 AM

I wasn't expecting a Springquisition...

lumberjim 03-22-2019 12:06 PM

I'd punch a Nun to work 4 10 hour days every week


best Pasta shape is penne. i do like those ones that look like the mask in Scream, though.

limey 03-23-2019 08:29 AM

1) If you had a 40 hour work week, would you prefer five 8-hour days or four 10-hour days? Four ten hour days
2) Do you pee in the shower? Of course!
3) Hyacinths or Daffodils? Hyacinths
4) Would you rather write a poem or sketch an animal? Write a pome
5) Do you take any vitamin or mineral supplements? Nope
6) What's the best pasta shape? Twists
7) Which baby animal do you most associate with Spring? Laaaaaaaaambs
8) Do you have any houseplants? There are two in the house we've just bought. Who knows whether they'll survive ...
9) tight or loose underwear? Tight
10) What is your favorite Spring activity? Sitting in the sunshine

Clodfobble 03-23-2019 09:27 AM

1) If you had a 40 hour work week, would you prefer five 8-hour days or four 10-hour days? If we're already agreeing to flex-time, then I'm putting in for 3-4 hours a day for five days, then two 10-12 hour days.

2) Do you pee in the shower? Definitely

3) Hyacinths or Daffodils? Hyacinth

4) Would you rather write a poem or sketch an animal? Sketch an animal, because I could just whip out something subpar and walk away. With a poem, I would instinctively want it to be good, and would spend way too long torturing myself to get it right.

5) Do you take any vitamin or mineral supplements? Calcium, vitamin D, and a thing called SleepThru that does what it says. In the transdermal department, I wear an iron/B-complex patch most days but especially right after my period, and a nicotine patch everyday. Not exactly a vitamin or mineral, but it's OTC and used therapeutically, so I'mma say it counts.

6) What's the best pasta shape? Penne

7) Which baby animal do you most associate with Spring? Baby bird nests

8) Do you have any houseplants? Nope

9) tight or loose underwear? Loose

10) What is your favorite Spring activity? Getting rid of crap in the house I don't need and reorganizing what's left.

It was more ruthlessly efficient to ignore you

Undertoad 03-23-2019 02:47 PM

1) If you had a 40 hour work week, would you prefer five 8-hour days or four 10-hour days? I'll take the four tens. At our place, some people do weird stuff like three twelves and a four. There are off-shift bonuses, so some people are motivated to do that.

2) Do you pee in the shower? sure, it's sterile

3) Hyacinths or Daffodils? I don't know the difference

4) Would you rather write a poem or sketch an animal? poem

5) Do you take any vitamin or mineral supplements? No. Some people say there is a form of folic acid that may help the neuropathy, but I eat a royal tonne of romaine all the time, so I like to just imagine I am covered.

6) What's the best pasta shape? Fusilli Jerry.


7) Which baby animal do you most associate with Spring? Igglets, due in early April

8) Do you have any houseplants? Not right now but if they legalize I will.

10) What is your favorite Spring activity? Annually, in the Spring, I play XTC's Skylarking.

lumberjim 03-23-2019 02:52 PM

Big vote in NJ on Monday.

It's Rundgren's best work, and he was high the whole time.

Undertoad 03-23-2019 04:02 PM

And there's side one, done.

One of the things about great art is how it can be different every time, for you; you can notice little things you didn't notice before. It can be little or big. In a film, it can be little details they threw in that you never noticed. Or it can be the whole moral structure of the film.

This time I noticed the little. I always noticed that "Ballet For a Rainy Day" sounds like a rainy day. This is partly Rundgren's producing, at work. but how?! how does he do that? A lot of it is reverb; he strategically *drenches* the song in different kinds of echo.

And with cymbals. Big cymbal crashes have been thought of as "lightning" forever, but that's too obvious. Rundgren uses light tings on the ride cymbal, and reverbs them, so they feel like a shimmering puddle. (Use your imagination!)

And then, from 1:38 to 1:41, there are three CRASH cymbals that are recorded way down in the mix, and then reverbed out. These are on the beat, and today I heard them for the first time, suddenly it's obvious, loud and clear, as splashes in a puddle.

He has little tricks like this, all over the track. It's amazing!!

Not a single "No one expects the Springquisition!", not one!

All of you fuckers are outta the will!

Except monster, she gets a mention on the back of a folding metal chair at the Knights Of Columbus.

monster 03-24-2019 10:20 PM

It was a teachable moment (sometimes, you will be disappoint and we won't play*). Sexybong was also on point re the script. More so than anyone, in fact ;)

*current syllabus for Thunderboy. a toughie....

There's a specialist camera shop and printing shop in my town where I can get them easily enough. The Boots chemists chain even sell them. I'm in the UK, maybe it's harder in the States, I don't know. I imagine you can get it on eBay or Amazon if you looked. I'm a member of a local darkroom so I can do the processing and printing myself.
