As I have absolutely no creativity*, and I don't want to abuse StumbleUpon for traffic until I have this place going slightly longer, I feel I might as well pass one on.**
*Actually, just as I'm too lazy to use it.
**By pass on, I mean "make up"
So here comes the
Weirdness Quiz
- What is the strangest thing anyone has ever given you?
In context, probably a pog. It was completely random, some guy I'd never met before (and have never met since) at a party just rnadomly gave me a shiny pog. - What is the strangest promise anyone has made to you?
Well, I have one friend who owes me the eyes of his firstborn child. I have no idea what posessed him to go and bet them, but he did, and he lost, so now if I develop cataracts in my old age I'll know just where to go. - What is the strangest thing you have ever given anyone?
Recently I went to a party, and was wearing sunglasses on the way there (I hate direct sunlight, but I'm clearly not a vampire, and I'm really annoyed that people seem to think a stake through the heart is the best test). At the end of the party I noticed one of the lenses was gone, so I gave the sunglasses to a guy beside me, who looked like a really cool pirate wearing them. - What is the strangest promise you have ever made?
Clearly, one of the two funeral-related promises I have made to my good friend Vixen. In addition to promising to try and get a wicker coffin woven for her by Rammstein, I have promised to tell bad jokes at her funeral. But then, she's promised to go up to people at my funeral and say "At least he died doing what he loved, biting the head off a small animal." so we're even on that score.
I think Project Woven Death edges it out on the weirdness scale though, weighing in at 3.5*
*1 is your mother bringing you groceries when she comes for a visit despite the fact you're 30; 10 is your mother bringing you groceries when she comes for a visit despite having been dead for 10 years. - What is the weirdest game you've ever gotten addicted to?
I've personally never been addicted to any game quite as strange as the game where you play an italian plumber who's dating a princess, and has to save her from a giant fire-breathing turtle.
Nor was I truly addicted to the games where you play one of several ten-year-old kids who go around saving the world from evil, winning tournaments, and defeating your nemesis, through the capturing of house-sized monsters into airtight balls smaller than your fist.
However, I am currently addicted to a game where you control a jelly baby which jumps over a keyboard, collecting futuristic weaponry and a nuclear arsenal, in order to kill a bunch of other jelly babies. - What is the oddest project you have ever embarked on?
Well, I've already mentioned Project Woven Death, but the other competitor is a poem I never quite finished, called Humanity Must Strive, detailing the future of the human race in poem form. There were a few more complicated rules to the poetry, but suffice it to say I have well over 500 stanzas of the poem, and it's nowhere near complete. And that's not counting the second draft. - What is the weirdest scenario you have a plan for?
Well, like most people on the internet, I have a plan for Zombie invasion. Unlike most people on the internet I also have a plan for: My rectum being sealed shut. But weirder than that (if only slightly) is that I have a plan for a portal* that opens in the door of my flat leading to a highly advanced alien spaceship.
*that lets things through forwards from their original origin, and backwards from the other side, but otherwise they pass through as though the portal isn't there.
