The Saturday 6-Pack

right-track · 02-09-2008, 02:10 AM

Credit goes to MURDER JUNKIE for the thread idea.

Every Saturday the mods will submit 6 random questions to ask the members...'The Saturday 6-Pack'.
The idea is for members to get to know each other a bit better.
The questions will remain open to replies until the following Saturday, when a new batch of random questions will be posted.

This Saturdays 6-Pack are;

1) What was the best concert you have been to?

2) Are you old enough to vote?

3) If you could change one thing in your life what would it be?

4) What is your most prized possession?

5) What has been the highlight of your life so far?

6) What are you going to do on your next day off?

Quote this post and copy/paste the questions in your reply box.

1) What was the best concert you have been to?
Seeing The Rolling Stones and David Bowie live, were both real thrills for me.

2) Are you old enough to vote?
I'm old enough not to care!

3) If you could change one thing in your life what would it be?
I could give a flippant answer here, but I won't.
If I could, I'd change the way I look at the world and how it effects me.
I've never had that control.

4) What is your most prized possession?
Any one of several Northern Soul 45's.

5) What has been the highlight of your life so far?
The birth of my children and United winning the European Cup in 1999 would take some beating.

^ The only time in my life I've cried uncontrollable tears of joy.

6) What are you going to do on your next day off?
Fuck all!

Seltzer · 02-09-2008, 03:43 AM

1) What was the best concert you have been to?
My favourite concert ever was Herbie Hancock live with Vinnie Colaiuta, Nathan East and Lionel Loueke. Amon Amarth, Arcade Fire and Isis rate pretty highly too.

2) Are you old enough to vote?
Yep, but I've never bothered. We'll either end up with a male PM or a female PM who looks like a man.

3) If you could change one thing in your life what would it be?
My Dad dying in a car crash or my pectus excavatum condition (sunken chest).

4) What is your most prized possession?
My computer, then my Ibanez Silver Series bass.

5) What has been the highlight of your life so far?
Hmmm, I don't know. I tend to place more emphasis on periods of time in general rather than specific occasions. I live in some place at some time, then dwell on that memory and miss my life in that period.

Regarding fun highlights, it would have to be seeing a band of some sort live (see above answer). Regarding achievement highlights, it would have to be coming first in all my subjects except one in high school.

6) What are you going to do on your next day off?
I'm not working right now - gonna go back to uni soon.

MURDER JUNKIE · 02-09-2008, 07:44 AM

1) What was the best concert you have been to? - Probably The Ramones with Teenage Head in Kitchener back in the Day or The Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge Tour

2) Are you old enough to vote? - Yes but I rarely seem to, yet I still have the stones to bitch about my government

3) If you could change one thing in your life what would it be? - I would have spent more time with my Grandparents before they passed on

4) What is your most prized possession? - It's a toss up between my TV, my Toyota, or my Keg Fridge

5) What has been the highlight of your life so far? - My wedding day and walking in the surf in Daytona Beach surrounded by so many stingrays that I couldn't see my feet

6) What are you going to do on your next day off? - Seeing as today is my day off, I guess my plan is to get some groceries and maybe stop for a pint and watch some footy

adidasss · 02-09-2008, 08:08 AM

1) What was the best concert you have been to?
The White Stripes. First proper rock concert I ever went to, and as I've mentioned many times before, it blew me the fuck away...especially considering I wasn't that big a fan before it.
2) Are you old enough to vote?
Yes, but I was too lazy to in the last election...

3) If you could change one thing in your life what would it be?
I guess I'd liked to have figured out and told people I was gay sooner. Maybe things would have fared a bit different...:\
4) What is your most prized possession?
I don't really have one...:\
5) What has been the highlight of your life so far?
Like Seltzer, I wouldn't say I have a specific highlight, more like periods. The last couple of years have been the best of my life.
6) What are you going to do on your next day off?
Every day is my day off...

jackhammer · 02-09-2008, 01:47 PM

1) What was the best concert you have been to?

Becoming a parent. My son was 14 two days ago and it's gratifying that he seems to be turning out to be a good lad.

6) What are you going to do on your next day off?

It's next Saturday. Probably take my two lads into town and maybe catch a film and a bite to eat.

Lizzie · 02-09-2008, 02:20 PM

It has yet to come, all the concerts I've gone to so far have been horrid.
2) Are you old enough to vote?
Not yet.... Two years (I think)
3) If you could change one thing in your life what would it be?
My inability to be polite...actually there are probably lots and lots of things I would change, but I can't, so I don't really bother thinking about it.
4) What is your most prized possession?
My acoustic guitar and my notebook
5) What has been the highlight of your life so far?
Nothing particular really....winning a poetry contest was nice....but I can't say I have a speciifc highlight of my life...at least not yet
