Almost everyone coins or uses expressions that make sense to only a few people. What word or phrase do you use most often that you have to explain the meaning of to others?

Oh God. I could have my own dictionary.

Instrument case: bra.
French fry: f*ck.
Schnitzel: sh*t.
Trail mix: slut.

Et cetera.

It's National Bird Day in the U.S. Do you think it's cruel to keep birds in cage where they can't fly freely or flock with others of their kind?


View 500 Answers

First, no I really don't think it's cruel. Second, this question is horribly biased. If this were on a survey, most people would say "yeah, sure". A more neutral question would be "how do you feel about birds in cages", or something similar.

The Writer's Blocks have a point. With the start of a new year, the only topic of conversation is, well, the new year. Rolling the Writer's Blocks for today, yesterday, and the day before into one post, this is what my family did.

New Year's Eve, we were all on vacation (with the exception of my mom) and all helped cook hors d'oeuvres (or, as my dad calls them, hores dervees) for the party later that night. I ended up having to go to the nearby grocery store for marshmallows, and I learned never to go into a checkout line behind a little old lady buying Meow Mix. She made the bagger go check the price on it... twice. Ugh. But after that, we went to a party at the house of a family friend. There was a lot of conversation, and food, and booze (that I didn't drink, except for a small midnight toast... and I will never do again because I cannot hold my liquor very well) and a bonfire. And fireworks. All in all, it was fun. We got home at 12:30 AM, to find my half-sister and her boyfriend waiting. We were babysitting my niece. Well... turns out her boyfriend is now her fiancee. Hm. I went to bed at 1:30, but apparently they didn't leave until 3 AM.

New Year's Day, I woke up feeling like crap (I told you I can't hold my liquor), and watched the Rose Parade. After that, we went to another family friend's house for New Year's dinner. My parents and grandma left at about 6, but the family friend offered to let us stay for a few hours. We were driven home at about 11, after a day of Scene-It, food, and Cranium. Yay!

The Writer's Block for today asks if I think my activities for yesterday will account for the whole year. I say, I certainly hope so! It was a day of fun, food, family, and no worries. Well, except for the feeling like crap part. Please, dear Lord, don't let that last all year.

Oh, and my New Year's resolution is to be a better student, daughter, and girlfriend. Here's hoping I do it!

Sometimes it's the thought that counts, and other times it's the thing itself. What's the best gift you've ever received, thoughtful or otherwise?


View 500 Answers

I can't think of the best, but I do know the worst one of this year. My grandparents didn't know what to get me, so they just gave me a $20 bill. Mind you, they are the king and queen of bad presents, so I gave them a specific list of gift ideas, all less than $20. It wasn't even wrapped, which is my favorite part about presents-unwrapping them.

I dunno. I'm trying to figure out what to go see next Saturday, though. Maybe either Bedtime Stories or Despereaux.

Happy birthday, Nostradamus. Many people consider the prophecies of Nostradamus to be uncannily accurate, while others remain skeptical. Do you think it's possible to predict the future?


View 500 Answers

I think it's possible, yes. I just think that, more often than not, predictions are too vague to interpret until it's too late.

For example, two nights ago, I had a dream where I was in a car, and there was a ring of colored light, and then a ring of red light. Last night, I was riding in a car, with a pair of light-distorting glasses on from Disney World, that deflected the light (or whatever you want to call it) into a rough ring shape. Looking at the headlights in the distance created a colored ring. Then, some jackass pulled in front of us. The red of his tailights made a red ring.

Two nights ago, do you think I'd have woken up and gone "holy crap some jackass is going to pull in front of us tomorrow"? No. It was too vague.

Also, a few months ago, I had one of those dreams. You know, the kind where it feels like you lived a whole day, because your dream started with waking up and ended with going to sleep? Well, I had dreamed the ENTIRE NEXT DAY of my life. Down to the little things, like tripping on my way to 3rd period and spilling orange juice on myself at lunch.

Today is known to some as the Day of Infamy, in commemoration of what happened at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. In your lifetime, what date sticks out as the most memorable in terms of world events?


View 500 Answers

Without looking at the answers, I'd be willing to be 9/11 is a popular answer. As much as I'd love to say another date is more memorable in MY lifetime so far, I can't think of anything else in the past 16 years, so I'm going to have to say 9/11. Sorry.

EDIT: Well, there was the shuttle blowing up on reentry. I was in fifth grade when that happened. What really makes it stick out in my mind, though, is that me and my family went to Walt Disney World when it was launched, so we had taken the long way so that we could pull off onto the side of the road and see it better. Technically, though, I can't remember the exact date that happened, so I still have to say 9/11.

There are a few concerts that go down in musical history—Altamont, Woodstock, Live Aid, the Hannah Montana Best of Both Worlds tour—as legendary experiences. What live show stands as legend in your own experience?


View 500 Answers

Since when is Hannah Montana a legendary concert? It's just an over-advertised concert series. Most of its popularity came from little prepubescent girls- not the general audience for a legendary rock concert.

You know what I really don't get? The Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays argument. I mean, really.

Say I'm a cashier and a customer comes into my line and I say "Merry Christmas" and they get mad at me. Okay, then. Next customer, I change my greeting to "Happy Holidays" and that customer gets mad.

How in the world am I supposed to win at that cruel game as the poor cashier who gets berated no matter what greeting I give?

The holidays are right around the corner, which means gift-giving (and buying) season is upon us. When do you usually purchase your gifts? What are the benefits/disadvantages of buying when you do?

Sponsored by Best Buy


View 290 Answers

I usually start buying presents the day after Thanksgiving. It's the only day I can get to a shop and then ditch my parents so that I can buy their presents.

In my small town, it's really not all that crowded, so there's no big disadvantages. If my parents decide to go down to Tampa for some big ticket items, though, oh boy that's not good.

One of the most popular gender stereotypes is that women ask for directions while men would rather be lost than ask for help. In your personal experience, does this stereotype hold true?

Actually, yeah. The guys that were supposed to pick me up last night for the dance spent a half an hour driving up and down my road lost because Mapquest gave them faulty directions and they didn't think to call my house and ask for help.

Putting the laws of time and plausiblity aside, picture a battle between the megalodon (a prehistoric shark with a six-foot jaw span) and a giant squid (reported to be the size of a school bus). Who would win?

Submitted By [info]menocidesavior


View 500 Answers

Since we're totally ignoring the laws of time, plausibility, and probably other such things as physics and anatomy, I'm going to say whichever one is more heavily armed. I can just see it now, the megalodon growing arms and wielding machetes, and the giant squid with a machine gun, then the megalodon shanking a submarine and stealing it's torpedoes. The list goes on forever.

On a totally unrelated side note, I'm all prettified for my homecoming dance right now. Squee. My hair has almost a full can of hair spray in it and about 20-30 bobbi pins, but oh well.
