And your favourite card game is Solitaire, no doubt. Thanks for the educational and useful contribution. One for when expediency is important: Racing Make a 'track' about 8 cards long, divided evenly by suit (though it looks better face down.) Lay out all 4 Queens. Players place bets on which Queen they think will win. To place a bet, you must drink that amount. Saying "I bet 2 shots that Spades will win" means you must do 2 shots before the race begins. A player flips cards from the top of the deck. The suit of each flipped card advances the corresponding Queen up the track. When a Queen crosses the last card, the race is over, and all players who placed bets on that Queen get to give out double their wager in drinks, divided as they wish. It sounds simplistic, but it's great for a few rounds when you're about to leave for the bar and everyone is already loud and rowdy and yelling and cheering for their Queen. Also, because of probability distribution, the race is almost always very close.

Clash of the Titans. SO bad. 3D is so fucking lame.

KINGS. Topic over. Edit: I'll expand, I guess. You spread out a deck of cards face down, making a circle around an empty beer bottle. In clockwise order, people take turns drawing a card, placing it on the beer bottle, and following the prescribed rules of the card. You knock the cards off, you drink for each card that falls. There are a million and one rules variations, but here are the ones I most often play with: A: White Man's Rap. In turn order (starting with who drew) you must say a sentence that rhymes with the previous one. If you insult another player with your sentence, they must drink, and th first person who fucks up has to drink for each person before them. 2: Waterfall. Everyone starts chugging. You cannot stop until the person to your right stops (the one who draws the card can stop for free.) Sucks if you're right of the guy who draws it. 3-5: You drink that much 6-10: You give out that many drinks. Dividing is fine. J: Thumbmaster. You become the thumbmaster until another Jack is drawn. At any time you may touch your thumb to something. EVeryone else must mimic the behavior. The last to do so drinks. Q: Rule. You make a rule. Breaking this rule causes the breaker to drink. Some good ones include no swearing, no first names, no questions, and mates. Mates involves everyone picking a partner. When one drinks, the other drinks an equivalent amount. K: Category. You name a category and list a component of it. It goes around until a component is repeated, or someone chokes. Ex: "Beer brands: Molson," "Labatt," "Moosehead," "Steamwhistle," "....fuck. *drinks 4." And that's that.

Meat. Pasta's lame and unhealthy. Have you ever kicked someone out of your home or car?

Hit on everything with boobs. What's your favourite fish?

Lucid. Damn good question. Two-parter: How often do you lie? (on a 10 point scale, 1 being George Washington, 10 being psychotic compulsive liar) AND How often do you think other people lie?

I'm not a HUGE classic rock fan, but I love The Eagles. Every now and then I'll make time for Zeppelin, Floyd, The Beatles, VH, etc. What was the last thing you ate?

I used to own a Sonicare and LOVED it, but it died after 3 or 4 years (which is expected: no issue with the product.) I've been meaning to buy another one, but a) it's expensive not living at home, and the brush + heads is $300 or something, plus upkeep, and b) I think the over-the-counter battery-operated electric brushes are almost as good nowadays. What is the most spectacular failure you've ever had?

Not with a bang, but a whimper. Essentially, in increments. (I'm also REALLY curious what happened on that date, Lauren) Edit: and thinking about it, it depends on your definition of "world." I assume you mean "as we know it." Obviously the physical Earth will blow up rather suddenly and spectacularly when the Sun runs out of gas in some 5 (15?) billion years. What's the weirdest thing you've ever done in your sleep? Or, alternatively, what's the weirdest thing you've ever slept through?

No, but almost every time someone asks, I try and then feel like a total goof. What's the most innocuous event you've attended that left you with a hangover the next day?

Calling the Olive Garden Italian is like calling the Mandarin Chinese.

Probably about once-twice a week on average, which is decent considering I'm not currently dating anyone hahaha. Delicious or disgusting?: A hamburger with Jamaican patties for buns.

Trace-face: I agree with you. I don't think Humbert is a "monster." In the end, SHE seduced HIM. Though yeah, the whole deal with the sleeping pills was fucked up. We all wrestle with our own personal demons. His personal demon just happened to be an affinity for young girls, and he chose to be that way even less so than an alcoholic chooses to drink. I don't know. Humbert IS disgusting in many many places. But in the end, I pity rather than hate him.

Seeing these guys at Lee's Palace in Toronto on Thursday. Fellow Bored Torontonians should come.

It was different times man. He was handsome, made a decent living, and exuded intelligence. Humbert's character is what MAKES Lolita. I suggest giving it another go. I'm actually reading a collection of Nabokov's short stories right now, and while there is the occasional dud, they are excellent on the whole. I also just finished David Sedaris` When You Are Engulfed In Flames. Sedaris is my favourite humor writer, and if you're not averse to bursting out into laughter at unexpected and sometimes inappropriate times, he comes strongly recommended.

It depends. Is the egg defined by the animal that laid it, or by what hatches from it? Let's say a crocodile laid an egg and a kangaroo hatched from it: was that a crocodile egg or a kangaroo egg? Take your answer, and then look at the evolutionary history of the chicken and freeze it at the point where you'd stop calling a chicken's ancestor a "chicken."* That exact generation. Now look at the egg that that animal laid. Contained within is the very first "chicken" we're ever going to classify as such. So depending on how you define egg type, (by the layer or by the hatchee), you will have your answer. Personally, I'm going with the egg. (*What I mean by this, for you non-biology types, is to trace back evolution. You know how fish eventually evolved into mammals right? Well you wouldn't call a chicken a fish even though they have a distantly related phylogeny. So go back in time and move chickens closer and closer to their primitive unevolved phase until you hit an animal that couldn't successfully reproduce with a modern chicken. That's the separate species we're looking for.) When's the last time you were embarrassed?

First, has more contrast.

Small potatoes. Around $200? At a casino, what is your game of choice?

100% atheist. I used to be a wishy-washy agnostic back in the day, and would essentially "humor" those with supernatural religious beliefs, but I'm finding it increasingly harder to respect what I see as wholly irrational and often impairing and destructive. Awesome question, so I will repeat it. Are you an agnostic, atheist, theist/deist?

Great book and great character, but I really don't see the resemblance. As for favourite wine, I just like cheap red. I find expensive wine a lot less palatable than cheap wine. I assume it's because the sugar content is much higher making it easier to drink. Do you like ska at all?

LOL fair enough. And I am inclined to agree, though obese men's giant asses aren't exactly pretty either. I'm using this one again, since Chris just decided he was going to "pass." For guys, mainly: the Power Rangers are real and want you to join them. Only problem? You have to be the pink one: do you do it?

"Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed." - Herman Melville

Truthfully, I don't think so. I've just always been a happy bastard, and even at my lowest and saddest, I always knew it would pass and that near-death by booze was not the answer. Most of my sloppiest times were times of overenthusiastic and overindulgent happiness. Also: You think tits are gross compared to what you sit on all day and shit from? Seems wrong to me. What is your current mood as described by an art movement? (and you aren't allowed to say "surrealism," you poser : p)

I've dated one, met another (Sean), and would love to hang out with more. Shade and I were gonna jam, but timing didn't work out, I'd love to party w/ Ryan, and I'm sure Adam and I will have a nerdy drink-fest one day. And that's just the plausable people! If we're living in fantasy land, there are few Boreders I WOULDN'T want to meet, and I'm not going to name them cuz I don't want to be a prick (but Chris is not among them. I think we'd have a decent time if he just let me decide what to do.) Have you ever met someone FROM THE INTERWEBS!? If so, who's your favourite person?
