ODB was featured at the beginning of Knocked Up and he seems to be my alter ego that surfaces when bad things emerge and need o be dealt with in a down and dirty manner. RIP Russell Tyrone Jones. November 15th, 1968 to November 13th, 2004.

So who is your alter ego? I am reportedly a nice guy but know the real me when stuff must be dealt with.

Alter ego? Don't really know what that would be. Wild party, drinking, dancing, hugging Zeek?

Can we not start new threads while I'm typing??? LOL

Ok as I was saying
Hmm but a one pound cube of what??? Because that kind of variable can really alter your calculations because weights and measures of items are different. A pound of feathers weights more than a pound of gold because of the difference in weighing system...
so this should be considered...just saying...and I do think it should be half...but I'm really rusty

Rugbug...ah that makes sense. There'd be no real need and since you placed without flying lead change, then why bother. I will say Orion is an excellent jumper from the pics I have seen. Nice form and good follow through. How many hands is he?? I can't tell from the pic and I have a distorted sense of size what with Tink and Diesel being so large...


ok HUGS the dancing Zeek!!!

As for an alter ego...quiet, shy, sweet, docile, polite, easily led or talked into something.... wow this does rather make me sound like ..ok well like me:) a cast iron bitch who tramples all those who oppose her... giggle

Okay, so down and dirty: Ol' Dirty Bastard. Good guy mode: Mighty Mouse. But the truth of the matter is I am a Matt Murdoch sort of character. Not the Ben Ass-face portrayal in the flick, but more the Frank Miller Daredevil: Man Without Fear Sort. Someone with plenty of reason to be a villian but sides with the light even if it requires facing the demons in their own darkness. Of all the comic heroes he seems to be the most attainable. Of course there is always the bike riding demon sort, but that ain't exactly a human portrayal now is it?

Hrmmm, alter ego? To use Firefly characters (so I don't have to think too hard at the moment), alter ego would sometimes be Saffron, sometimes Kaylee...depends on the day. Gosh, that makes me sound VERY split-personality-ish. I'm not...but some days I play the girl next door, some day I play the villan, so I have to have two alter egos. Capiche?

msg: Orion is maybe 15.3? All I know is that when I jump off of him, I slam my feet into the ground because I'm used to hopping off of Show. O has typical Thoroughbred withers which are about four inches higher than his back. He's a good guy and pretty comfortable up to 3'...after that it gets to be a bit of a struggle.

I am going to win the Mega Millions lottery, then buy and island and build a Firefly on it. There, rich and (relatively) famous.

Or, I could just become the next microbrewer to hit it big on an international scale.

Too bad. It's my ponderable and you need both.

I figure I'll just win the world series of poker someday. Then I'll be rich and famous but only to a small segment of society.

Famous = discovering the cure for cancer.

Rich = winning mega millions lottery and investing well.

Now, I know my famous answer could make me rich, but what kind of person would I be if I got rich off of a cure that was only available to those who have the money?

And really, fame is wha tyou make it. While I do feel sorry for some actors, the celebutantes are mostly doing it to themselves. There are plenty of actors that aren't in the gossip rags or aren't being stalked by paparazzi. It's a choice about how you live and how you present yourself. Some of the top actors/celebrities (Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, etc) have less choice, but the likes of Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, Lindsay Lohan, etc do have a choice. They choose to present themselves to the public that way...wanting the attention when they want it, but not when they don't. It doesn't work like that, unfortunately.

That's your ponderable? That's pretty weak.

I'd say you were a normal person for getting rich off of that. I mean you don't even have to take advantage of people much. You know how many people get cancer? Cause I sure don't but I'm thinking it's a bunch. So, you wouldn't have to charge too much to get rich off of that. $100 per procedure and you're golden.

I'm it and I have no ponderables that aren't grumpy-ass rants.

Why does IT do an upgrade and not warn everyone? (Came into new software at 7am with no warning.)

Why are co-workers so annoying?

Why can't adults figure out how to use the freakin' phone book to look up the number for a physician? They had to look up my number to call me for the number of a doctor that is 150 miles away from me. If I can find it with no phone book, certainly they can find it with one.

I think I need to go find a corner to sit in today. Or maybe find something to rant about on my blog on myspace. That usually puts me in a good mood.

I could post fifty times to make it look like there is some action...or make it look like I'm very, very crazy.

Oh, maybe there is a ponderable in that (or not, we'll see). What activity/behaviour in your life do you consider 'normal' that others see and categorize as quirky or downright crazy?

Ha there are plenty.

Easiest one off the bat is slightly unsettling love of Joss Whedon. All the Firefly, Serenity parites, the Firefly marathon at the drafthouse, the 10 episodes of buffy starting at 11pm thing at the drafthouse, all the can't stop the Serenity screenings, the Serenity prescreenings, the Firefly showings in the back of a coffe house, the Firefly/Buffy comics and soon to be Angel comics, etc.

Then there's how cheap I am about most things. Constantly checking slickdeals for cool things on sale. Keepings a tally sheet of times I skip going out to lunch and put the money away toward a wii game or something else I want. I think I just have a weird issue about spending money on me. I just always feel like "I didn't really need that".

My "anti-social"ness. I weigh going out pretty poorly compared to staying home most of the time. Unless there's a girl involved I usually don't see the opportunity cost being in favor of going out. I mean most of going out just seems like killing time to me. "Let's all go to a club with loud music where we can't talk and stand around and grow older together! YAY!!". Um...no thanks.

I'd say those are among my top three.

EDIT:

oh oh I also don't get traveling. "Hey look the statue of liberty!" Um yeah I've seen pictures and seen it in movies. Heck it's actually smaller than I thought it would be in real life. Booooring.

I won't go without socks unless I absolutely have to. I hate wearing sandals or strappy heels...even though I love the look of them.

CDs/DVDs MUST be put back in their appropriate cases. None of this, 'oh, this case is empty, I'll put it there.' Appropriate case or don't change it. And I very much dislike those carrier things.

If watching X-files DVDs...you MUST watch the titles. This only applies to the X-Files. Any other show you can skip the titles.

Bed MUST be made very morning, no matter if I'm getting up at 3 am for a horse show.

for some reason, I can't think of my real weirdnesses...and there are many. These seem so bland. Heh.

Love the club explaination Zeek. That's pretty much mine too. That and I'd rather just drink on my own rather than avoiding smashing a skull or two bare handed or just plain burning the Mother F-er down.

Long day started early hump day morning. Everything is actually really good right now so no complaints from here.

Maybe one. What's with Blockbuster? Sucks that they have exclusive rights for mainstream rentals now. They had controlling interest for rentals that were direct to DVD or Independant but now they have been puttin' it to the little guy with mainstream movies for the last year (if memory serves to be correct).

Hi and Bye y'all. Hope I can make more time for tomorrow. This responsability thing kinda sucks.

Heh, that was kinda the point. I was thinking about it myownself and wanted to know y'all's answers.

Mine is honestly the opposite. Con weekends are my favorite, or even Shindig weekends. Getting to hang out with other fans, the shooting each other, the drinking, in general the comraderie from hanging out with other Browncoats is what I like. I like to get my rest/down time on the weekdays, or not at all.

Well for Rugbug's question I have so many it's hard to choose, but I'd say the big one is cleaning my house and such not because I want it clean, but if I get killed I don't want the forensic people making nasty comments ( and believe me they do) about my cleanliness...plus it super hard to tell evidence from crap when there's a mess.

as for Jimi's question- my favorite weekend would be half spent having fun with friends and half spent playing with the babies and hanging out with my family...

I think my best weekends are a balance of doing and not doing.

Best Saturday: sleeping in. (I LOVE to sleep). Going running. Going to barn and riding one or two horses. Do some barn busy work (clean tack, organize tack room, clean water buckets etc). Head home. Clean up the house. Shower. Go window shopping. Pick up dinner. Come home and watch a movie or some BtVS or Firefly or somesuch.

Best Sunday: Sleep in. Run. Ride. Go home. Shower...and spend the rest of the day lounging in my clean house...doing whatever it is I might want to do.

*huggles RIMG, huggles nvg* *hugs everyone else who wants one* *borrows MrG from MsG to get a geekhug*

Imponderable question: How far would you go for a relationship you'd like to pursue? For example: been talking to someone for a lifetime and finally meet them. There's definite sparkage there on both sides. Would you start working on a plan to move across the continent? Halfway across the continent? Split the distance between the two of you and go that far?

(Yep, my geek made a definite impression on me.)

Dang Neko :)

I guess it depends on how firm the relationship truely is. I'd think you'd want a trial run before comitting to moving only to have something fall apart 3 months later ya know?

Neko...if it was really worth it...anywhere on earth!
Definitely would want to do some visiting and such to make sure, but ends of the earth is not too far for a great relationship:) HUGS and vicarious geek hugs! eeew the icky of state testing...nothing like hours of prep just so you can sit in utter silence for many many days only to be judged :) Not fairly judged mind you. The test scores compare the scores of this years students to the scores of students from last year...so apparently we teachers can make each new batch of students smarter than the last...who knew we had super powers?

Hmmm sorry no good movies and if trailers are to be believed no real plans for any good movies any time soon...sigh.

Rugbug- I'd so love to go running with you, but I'm betting with your long legs you'd outpace me quickly... :) I can ride really well though:)

Split the distance between the two of you and go that far?


Well there's definitely more info needed for that question. Like if I was married to someone and they had a great job opportunity in Japan of course I'd move to stay with them and be all supportive and stuff. However, in the situation you're talking about with moving in order to start a relationship I'd have to say no where.

I mean there's no way to know if the relationship would last longer than 2 weeks and the added pressure of moving couldn't possibly help things. Then anything else that goes wrong is subconsciously the other person's fault. "I can't find a good job here and it's all your fault cause I moved for you" type of stuff. You also have the pressure of having no other friends in the area so it's like 24/7 focus on each other. That's not healthy for a new relationship. Gotta have other friends and other hobbies to give each other a break sometimes.

I think you need to stick with logic on this one. I know that the sparkage of a new relationship is like crack and all, but even if you move sparks don't last. You might get lucky and it will start a fire, but just don't let the sparks blind you and make you do something you'll regret.

Happy Monday all!

Sorry about the testing Neko. It seems schools are getting more and more ridiculous with the learning/testing requirements.

I pretty much had the perfect weekend. Almost exactly like what I listed above...'cept a little too much cleaning and not quite enough lounging around. College friends came to town on Sunday, so we took the kids to the pumpkin patch, then the beach, then to my house (note to self: not only is your house not kid-proof, it's not even kid friendly) then to dinner, then to another pumpkin patch (first was so crowded we didn't get pumpkins). Needless to say, I was happy to see them go as I was exhausted. I don't know how my friend deals with three on daily basis.

I'll run with you anytime. :D It's doubtful I'd outpace anyone. I'm not built for running, I'm built for things like track cycling, shotput, speed skating...anything that needs strong thighs. I run because it's easy...put on a pair of shoes and go...but I HATE it.
