What's the size of your bicep?
What is your dream car? And, do you think you will ever get it?
Are you a father? If so, what do you like best about being a father?
What hinders you from being your best this week?
Imagine that whatever you did you could not fail. What would you do?
Do you think like who you are?
Do you feel like a success or a failure?
What thing that you touch appeals to you the most?
Do you prefer a direct style of communication or something less direct?
Do you mind me asking you these questions?

What's the size of your bicep?
I've got 2 of them, right? Or is it left? There's still a lot of questions left, so while we're pondering I best be answerin' them right? Left?
What is your dream car? And, do you think you will ever get it?
I like that one that Speedy has, that Mach 5. I think it might only exist in dreams, cartoons (or anime, for the fancy folk), and the rat man's secret life of special service to the Crown. I've considered staying asleep or becoming a cartoon for that very reason, but ever time I try I keep waking up and being too opaque.
(Say, I didn't blow anyone's cover, did I? Oooops!)
Are you a father? If so, what do you like best about being a father?
I am not a father in the biological sense, but I do enjoy watching fruit grow.
What hinders you from being your best this week?
The rulers, the authorities, the cosmic powers over this present darkness, the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places put up quite a battle. (Eph. 6)
Imagine that whatever you did you could not fail. What would you do?
Honestly, I'd probably rule with an iron hand and regret it later. Thank God for failure. If I could be spiritually perfect, which I hope God will one day grant, I tend to think my goals would be quite different than what I could imagine now.
Do you think like who you are?
I am what I think, and becoming something else entirely.
Do you feel like a success or a failure?
Ah, feelings... both.
What thing that you touch appeals to you the most?
The hearts and minds of others.
Do you prefer a direct style of communication or something less direct?
Do you mind me asking you these questions?
"mind me" 1 - I have tried to be your obedient servant in this session.
"mind me" 2 - I have been quite comfortable, and feel quite refreshed. tTanks for the nibble.

For a minute, I thought I was speaking to a madman, but when I read the heart and mind thing....it was WOW!!!
Keep hopping along....or something :lena:

Really? I thought my attempt at telepathy on the communication question was the most brilliant. I guess it didn't work, huh?

Most of this seems to accurately describe me and my activity in internet forums. Honestly, hopper has been somewhat of a nickname dating back to Kung-Fu days (ie. “Grasshopper”). At CF it somehow got interpreted in frog tones which I’ve rather stayed with, even though I especially admire the material storage and delivery container application.

Both? - Coke Blak is due out in early 2006. I must admit that I’ve mixed the two before, but that didn’t work too well for me. I’m a Coke purest now – and it has to be the classic kind - none of that whatever it is they started coming out with, where they had to say “Oooopsie” and go back to the real stuff. I used to drink it cause it were bottled rights cheer in Atlanta whar they gots this big Coke museum an everthang, but it’s getting harder an harder ta know whats local anymores.
Now I drink more coffee than Coke, though I didn’t start drinking coffee till about 4 years ago. I initially thought, “Wow, I can see how it is that people love the aroma, but how in the world did people decide to drink this stuff?” (I’ve discovered that to be true of a lot of things that smell pretty, but weren’t exactly meant to be ingested), and that opinion has perhaps surprisingly stuck with me; even though somehow I drink about 8 cups of weakened coffee a day.
I drink more Mountain Dew (1948, PepsiCo – (all Joan Crawford humour aside) in 1998 PepsiCo merged with The Quaker Oats Company, officially making Mountain Dew the holy soda of soda brands) than anything else after water (*let’s see… 8 + 10 / H2O = really?!?), and I’ve found it to be truest to its name – not in the moonshine corn whisky sense, but in the elixir of the Appalachian gods sort of way – not that there are Appalachian gods other than the One true God, but that just makes Mountain Dew all the more special and mysterious. (It’s sort of like Volkswagons, you know? Started out, they were a central cog in the Nazi war machine, but once the Illuminati put their spin to our mindset and the little beetles got reversed engineered by aliens, they turned out to be one of the cuetsiest things ever.) "Yahoo Mountain Dew ... it'll tickle your innards!"

Neither…um, both… um, could you repeat the question or rephrase it in different terms or with different expressions (something I picked up from our CF friend ChrisBot, God rest his soul)? I’m more of a monochromatic kind of guy who prefers things in shades of green or brown. Though, technically, I think black and/or white and/or white and/or black might be a combination of all colors and/or the absence of all colors, depending on if you’re a glass is half full or half empty or spotty and in need of cleaning kind of guy.

Wow. They really should call those things something else, like, say... dessert. "Final" sounds so ominous.

I was never really crazy about swishing my tail around, and I was always soooo curious about what was on the other side of that air barrier.
