Ask Eric

[Aino]

What's your middle name?
What cartoons do you read?
What news paper do you read? Or do you prefer to watch news on the TV?

 

[BRISH]

~subscribing~ to read through first.

 

[jameseb]

Have you ever been married?

No, sure haven't.

 

[jameseb]

What's your middle name?

Eric. Which is also the name I go by since I've been called 'Eric' my whole life - which of course begs the question why my parents didn't make Eric my first name.

What cartoons do you read?

The last comic I read was a Ren & Stimpy comic. That's been many years ago.

What news paper do you read? Or do you prefer to watch news on the TV?

As far as "newspapers", the only one I read is the Wall Street Journal (online). I get most of my news online, primarily from BBC.com and WSJ.com, though I do watch TV to catch some news there at times too.

Tornados -.-

I have a slight penchant for retaining my life and tornados aren't conducive to longevity.

No. And the TV show Myth Busters backed me up on that one. =P

Oh I cant wait to see the answers to these!!

 

[Beauty4Ashes]

why are you so weird?

LOL, yeah, I'm afraid the 5 second rule has been scientifically proved wrong.

As for the secret to the barbed-wire fence... well, my uncle didn't have it tied off at one end (he put it up across the dirt road to herd cattle from one field to another) securely - he just wrapped the coil around the post, so when I went flying into it on my bike it first rubber-banded out, then the coil came loose and flew through the air smacking me in the face, knocking me off my bike. Maybe you were luckier in that your fence didn't give way

Ok:

Favorite winter sport that you yourself do?

Snow ski! I love snow skiing, though I've thought about taking up snowboarding next time I hit the slopes...

Explain your avatar quote please. Or rather, why you have that one.

It was a line from Jim Carry's 'Bruce Almighty' when he was ranting against God for all the "perceived" bad things he was experiencing. It struck me as hilarious, and reminded me of a tirade I once launched into myself.


Are you really really Irish? Like having the accent?

If you mean "really really" Irish, as in having been born or lived there, no. Irish by blood rather. I DO have the accent though! Rather, I can imitate it veeeery well.


Most embarrassing moment?

Probably tripping and falling into the water I was about to be Baptized in.


"What" were you in school: the bully, the picked on, or the neutral

Neutral I guess - I didn't bully, didn't like people who bullied and bullied a couple of bullies myself.

Favorite sports? To play/watch:

Favorite to play - volleyball, football and baseball. To watch? FOOTBALL!

When you want to be alone and in thought, describe the surroundings.

The surroundings could be any place in my house I guess. My ideal surrounding for contemplative thought though? A quiet glade in the forest, on the shore of a pristine lake.

Any wierd/odd quirks/talents?

I do accents very well - Russian, French (Parisian), Irish and German. I can also immitate several animal sounds as well. Hey... it's what happens when you have a lot of time on your hands.

 

[jameseb]

why are you so weird?

Because I'm special, and Irish, and you're not.

Maybe so, but my incident with the electric fence proved to be less forgiving.

Same here. Can't wait to try it. I've never skied, but I use to skateboard so I'm thinkin I have a head start in the learning process. If not, it'll at least be funny.

I could tell there was some kind of irony in it. Cool. Be proud of that. It got you "here".

(getting back up FAST in hopes that no one saw that)


Really? Hm...cool.

ROFLOL ....sorry....~still laughing~ hey, can't say you didn't dive into your faith. aww

I admire people that can do that and it's interesting to watch the efforts in their faces when doing them. I'm watching in intrigue more than I am listening. I have this friend though that just does it constantly. After awhile it's like..."wouldja just hush for a second?"


More questions....thinking, thinking...(me color texting this thing was a mess

Really? Hm...cool.

lol! You know, I don't get that - my girlfriend absolutely loves the Irish accent too. If I weren't Irish, I'd have to wonder why exactly, but, ya know, being Irish I of course have to say, "yeah, I know..."

ROFLOL ....sorry....~still laughing~ hey, can't say you didn't dive into your faith. aww

lol, aren't you the comedian... I mean,
