Ask the Person Below You

[ifihadahifi]

Only once in 1990.

Have you ever swallowed a coin?

[mere1975]

No, I'd be afraid it woudl get lodged in my windpipe.

When I was about 6, I got a piece of candy stuck in my throat in a movie theatre. My grandmother noticed and stuck her finger down my throat. I coughed it out. (It could have gotten lodged even farther down, so don't do that.) From then on, I had to bite my candy in half.

Have you ever had a near-death experience?

- Mere "tell us about it" 1975

[ifihadahifi]

I think I just had one. And it's my own fault. I had a premonition. I knew better but I ordered it anyway. And now I'm paying for it.

What the hell is italian chowder anyways?

[sam]

I have no idea what Italian Chowder is. I don't really want to know and I won't google it here at work because I fear I will only get indecent results.

Do you prefer Manhattan or New England Clam Chowder?

[monet2u]

My uncle made the best Manhattan chowder...I'd take that over New England any day.



Does the weather affect your mood?

[stephen]

if it's a day when i've got no plans then not at all. but if i have to go to college and it's windy and rainy and i've got 3 hours travel ahead of me it really pisses me off.

have you ever seen a hurricane in real life? or been hit by huge hail storms?

[ree-ree]

We were in the Fla. panhandle a few years back when hurricane Opal hit. We got out only a couple of hours before the traffic turned really bad and quite a few fellow travelers ended up in shelters.
We then got off the main hwy, which had become deadlocked, and drove along the coast listening to the radio as the governor declared a state of emergency. We were scared to crap. We made it to Disney World by the time it hit landfall and the storm surges where we had just been that morning (in Mexico Beach) were 10 feet high.

We enjoyed Disney World even in the rain and counted ourselves very lucky.



When you write papers or letters, do you proof read your work?

[Kristen]

yes all the time though, i do accidently miss mistakes sometimes. (my mother is an english teacher so i was brought up well)


are they patrollin' tryin' to catch ya ridin' dirty?

[Irock]

Um, no, I don't think so.

Do you talk to other cars in traffic?

i "back off Mazda, I'm not letting you in." rock

[ifihadahifi]

Yep. And usually it's to rude drivers that won't let me in!

"I hope you get crushed under a semi, Mini Cooper!"




Will you give me $1500?

[ree-ree]

On Sunday, when I win the lotto.

Have you ever won big money?

[Dutch]

On an investment of about $20-$30, I won almost $400 on roullete the first time I ever gambled. It was at the MGM Grand Casino in downtown Detroit, and Tim, Toby, and I were on a roll. It was knifely cold and windy outside, and the water in Detroit tastes like cars.

Has anyone seen Drawing Restraint 9 yet? It's not out in Austin.

[mere1975]

Drawing Restraint 9 - is that like Matchbox 20? Blink 182? The Click 5? I haven't seen it/them, sorry.

What are you doing for Mother's Day?

- Mere "sent flowers to mom, sent cards to Sam's family and my aunt, and I'm bringing food and small things to family brunch on Sunday -- which is more than I've ever done for Mother's Day, i think" 1975

[ree-ree]

Aww, what a good girl!
Jeremy offered to take me out to a favorite italian restaurant (on Dad's dime ) so we're going downtown.

Do you have plans for this evening?

[Rebecca]

I think I am going to dinner with my boyfriend, my friend, and my friend's boyfriend. Then we are ditching the boyfriends and going to shake our asses at the gay club.


What's your favorite part of your day?
