The Saturday 6-Pack

1. What is your favourite soft drink?
Coke, but I love stuff like Izze too.

2. What vice in society shall serve as its noose?
Hmm... that's a toughie. I'd say ignorance could do us in, but that's not really a vice.

3. Who has impacted your life the most--whether you personally know them or not?
I'd have to probably say my parents. It's kind of an obvious answer, but I don't think anyone else has really impacted me at all.

4. Do you have any strange idiosyncrasies?
I'm terrified to lock myself out of my car, so I'll check to see if I have my keys multiple times before I close the door. Sometimes I'll look at them as I close it to make absolutely sure I have them.

5. What serves as your release for stress, anger, etc?
Music. Sometimes I'll hit myself, usually my chest or thighs.

6. Cats or dogs?
Cats.

1. What is your favourite soft drink?
If I'm going to drink soda at all, it will most likely be a Dr. Pepper.

2. What vice in society shall serve as its noose?
The seduction of refraining from critical thinking.

3. Who has impacted your life the most--whether you personally know them or not?
My oldest sister's husband. I would certainly not be who I am and where I am today without him.

4. Do you have any strange idiosyncrasies?
Yes.

5. What serves as your release for stress, anger, etc?
I'm not sure. I don't really have a go-to thing, because I rarely find myself stressed.

6. Cats or dogs?
Cats because they need minimal attending, dogs because they have more personality. I like both, but for practical reasons, I have a cat.

Yeah, probably, but I don't think they're strange so I couldn't really tell you.

I was extraordinarily cross-faded when I came up with these questions, so I thought that I would tackle them sober.

1. What is your favourite soft drink?

I like the cocaine flavoured carbonated sugar that the Coke company produces.

2. What vice in society shall serve as its noose?

I asked this to an interviewee once, and he said "the gluttonous need for convenience," which I thought was pretty spot on. Apart from this I would say the abandonment of objective fact for ludicrous reasons.

3. Who has impacted your life the most--whether you personally know them or not?

Obviously my parents, household family, etc. but my uncle had a huge influence on me and my decision to expand my knowledge as much as I could.

4. Do you have any strange idiosyncrasies?

When I get nervous I move my toes a lot, good thing I mostly wear close-toed shoes because that's my only giveaway.

5. What serves as your release for stress, anger, etc?

Music is the obvious answer. Apart from that, I'd say meditation, volume, and my dog.

6. Cats or dogs?

I have both and love both, but my dog loves me back more, so I'll have to say dogs.

**Goofle** · 03-25-2012, 08:16 AM

1. What is your favourite soft drink?

Milk.

2. What vice in society shall serve as its noose?

Gambling.

3. Who has impacted your life the most--whether you personally know them or not?

Stewart Lee.

4. Do you have any strange idiosyncrasies?

Not particularly.

5. What serves as your release for stress, anger, etc?

Never get actively stressed or angry, but I may subconsciously do something.

6. Cats or dogs?

Cats by any thinkable amount.

Burning Down · 03-25-2012, 08:27 AM

1. What is your favourite soft drink?
Fresca

2. What vice in society shall serve as its noose?
Overspending by shopaholics and people who want to create a false representation of their socioeconomic status by using credit cards and borrowing on their assets. Ultimately that all results in massive debt and we can already see what this is doing to our society.

3. Who has impacted your life the most--whether you personally know them or not?
My younger brother. He is a 13 year old autistic boy who has overcome so much in his short life!

4. Do you have any strange idiosyncrasies?
When I practice flute or guitar, I have to start off by warming up with 5 different scales chosen at random. I have a small bucket that contains cards with different scales on each one and their quality. If I don't do this, I feel that my practice session was not productive.

5. What serves as your release for stress, anger, etc?
Playing or listening to music. Sex works too, it's like the wonder drug for everything!

6. Cats or dogs?
Neither. Allergic to both, and I get asthma when I'm around cats. In an ideal world though, I would have one of each.

~~Rubato~~ · 03-25-2012, 09:03 AM

1. What is your favourite soft drink?

OJ, it's all I really drink besides water and coffee.

2. What vice in society shall serve as its noose?

greed, it turns everything worthwhile into a steaming pile.

3. Who has impacted your life the most--whether you personally know them or not?

One of the tutors from an art course years ago. In an environment filled with pretentiousness and arrogance he had a very simple view of the world and undermined many of the other tutors with humorous results.

4. Do you have any strange idiosyncrasies?

I can't stand having clothes that touch my armpits, I feel claustrophobic, constricted and break out in sweats, I always wear t-shirts and shirts a size bigger, or anything that hangs off my shoulders.

5. What serves as your release for stress, anger, etc?

A nice long walk, one of the perks to living in the sticks.

6. Cats or dogs?

Cats are the next best thing to monkeys, my cat has also taught itself to use the toilet so I don't need a litter tray in the house. Hilarious and self sufficient, couldn't ask for more really.
