Q.27

Having thought a bit more about it, I have crawled through a window. Many years ago. I went to visit my parents one Christmas. I think I may have arrived a day earlier than they were expecting me. They had gone into town – or something like that. It was raining and I thought I’d wait in the barn for them to return. And then I noticed a small window to the utility room was partially open. I clambered up and crawled in – watched by a very puzzled-looking ‘guard dog’. He didn’t even bark. But he did wag his tail enthusiastically. Once I was inside, I went and found his stash of dog biscuits. I thought it was the least I could do for him.

Cassandra

Looks are overrated. I'm out of the dating game anyway, so fuck it. (good answer, I stole this one)

27. Crawled through a window?
See #10. Used to crawl into girl’s bedrooms when I was in high school. We’d sneak out during the night and go calling. Amazing how many would let us in.

28. Been lost?
Yes, in Seville, Spain. I made the mistake of leaving the hotel without a phone or even knowing the name of the hotel. I wandered into one of the rabbit warrens left over from medieval times and got lost. I finally found a cop and asked if he spoke English. Turns out they’re still pissed from losing Gibraltar back in the 1700’s. And I guess Canadian was close enough to British for him. He just shook his head. I finally asked “BUS?” cause they were building a new bus station close to our hotel. He pointed in the general direction and I managed to find my way out. Very disconcerting when you start to realize you’ve been down the same street more than once in a strange city.

No.

Can’t even remember anymore.

Dead frog croaking here. I only sing in my office with the music to cover.

34. What is the last thing you watched on TV?
No idea. Gave up TV years ago when I realized we were paying $180/mo and never finding anything that wasn’t 20-50 years old. 99% of our time was on Netflix for $11 a month. Bye Bye Tv! Do miss the history channel though.

35. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?
Now? Wife just flushed the toilet :-(

36. Do you hold grudges?
I try not to but if someone constantly is disappointing me I cut them off. Period.

37. When did you last step outside?
Today. I went to the senior’s residence where I volunteer and spent several hours passing out Christmas treats and talking to the residents. The area is under isolation, you can’t see your families. My wife dressed up in a Christmas Tree costume and we went door to door. My knuckle is actually skinned from banging on so many doors!

38. Didn't take a shower for a week??
Hell no.

39. Been pushed into a pool with all your clothes on?
Yep. Got out and waiting then caught the perp and nailed him good. All in good fun.

40. Been told you're hot by a complete stranger?
Yes, but she definitely needs an upgrade on her glasses.

41. Broken a bone?
Yes. Fell down the stairs and broke my leg when I was 67. Walked on it for a week before my SIL, an emergency room nurse, called me several choice names and told me to see a doctor.

42. Laugh so hard you cry?
Yup.

43. Seen anything weird lately?
Yes. Conspiracy theorists, evangelical fanatics, Microsoft employees calling from India and a spoiled, egotistical child masquerading as president of the USA. Weird enough for ya? (this answer nailed it)

44. Tell us something about you that we don't know
I always had a facility for math. I was the guy getting 100% or the one the teacher waited for till no one else could answer and then let me. In my professional career I used to do taxation seminars and people would throw out their problems. I could calculate the numbers and write out the answer as fast as I could write on a whiteboard. I used to be quite amused at people punching in calculators and trying to keep up with me. After a while they’d throw the calculator aside and listen.

45.Done something dumb while drunk?
I was drunk and it seemed to me that all my buddies were getting married. So I went over to a jewellery store, bought a ring and proposed to my then girlfriend that night. Dumbest thing I’ve ever done. After 7 years I knew it was wrong but it took me 14 years before I was fed up enough to walk out. And then 14 years in court fighting her to get a final divorce.

46.Something you can’t wait for?
To be free of this Covid shit. Luckily volunteering in a senior’s home has put me on the immediate list. I expect to get one of the vaccines in the next two weeks.

47. Who is the 4th person on your missed call list on your mobile?
There’s a missed call list? LOL that made me look at my phone and I found it!!!
Ok, my defence is it’s a new phone two months ago. I haven’t explored it totally yet. It was my wife.

48. Do you Label yourself?
Old and grumpy.

49. What did your last text message you received on your mobile say?
Merry 2020 Christmas. May 2021 bring us to a return to our normal path, cheers XXX

50. What are you wearing?
Shirt, track pants.

51. Name the brand of shoes you're currently wearing?
Sketchers

52.Felt like killing someone?
Close.

53.Got a piercing?
No.

54.Cried over someone?
No.

55. Who told you he/she loved you last?
My wife.

56. Last fluffy thing you touched?
One of the residents kids brought in this cute little cockapoo or something like it this morning. I picked it up and it went crazy wiggling and barking then licked my face shield to death. Ewww.

57. Left or right-handed?
Right. (Wife is left) I have to cut everything for her to keep her from chunking it! What the woman can do to a brick of cheese if left unattended...boggles the mind.

No.

11. Ever had feelings for someone who didn't have them back?
No.

12. Been arrested?
Yes.

13. Kissed a stranger?
Your eyes meet across a crowded room. Three minutes later you bump into one another, you look into her eyes and she into yours, you lean forward and kiss her, but is she really still a stranger when you kiss?

14. Kissed more than 4 people in one night?
Absolutely, and, more than kissed, 4 people in one night.

22. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought?
I don’t use a mirror daily, but I shave two or three times a week. If I look a little rough I simply relocate the mirror so I see myself in a better light. My wife has a full-length mirror and I’ll occasionally look at myself in that while clothed. I’m not known for my sartorial elegance, but I can laugh at myself and others laugh with me, so that’s OK.

23. Would you ever consider living abroad?
I do live abroad.

24. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?
The same as I called my daughter.

25. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?

26. Ever hated the way you look??
I don’t hate anything personally, but I’m aware that I have critics. At my wife’s insistence, I now wear matching shoes.

27. Crawled through a window?
Breached. It’s similar to crawl but more energetic.

28. Been lost?
When backpacking, I was always aware, that one must avoid arriving in third-world cities lacking street lighting, after dusk. But bush taxis break down, 3rd class carriages are uncoupled and shunted into sidings so the first-class carriages can make the gradient and arrive on time, and mountain roads often need to be cleared of rock falls. I’ve arrived in Dakar, Mangalore and Manila after dusk and been completely lost. In Dakar a policeman spotted me and warned me of the dangers of wandering about with a backpack after dark, he took me to a hotel. In Mangalore, I spotted a police station and sat against the wall to await dawn. A policeman came and asked what I was doing. He took me about 70 yds, to the local brothel, where they put me up for the night. In Manila, I spotted a ribbon of light, which turned out to be a main road, and regained my orientation.

29. Cried yourself to sleep?
No.

30. What is the last film you saw in a movie theater?
A Tagalog RomCom. My wife likes to take in a movie when we go to the mall. I close my eyes and nap.

31. Laughed until something you were drinking came out your nose?
When I’m out drinking, and someone says something particularly humorous, I immediately show my appreciation by ejecting my drink through my nose and spraying it all over them.

32. Kissed in the rain?
Presumably. It's only water.

33. Sang in the shower?
I never sing. I was given permission not to sing when I was at school. I can lip-synch.

34. What is the last thing you watched on TV?
My wife has a TV in the same room as my computer. My Bluetooth headphones went flat. When I took them off the TV annoyed me. It appeared to be showing a documentary about a shoal of flying sharks attacking the US Pacific fleet. She was asleep so I turned it off.

35. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?
My computer is silent. I can hear the whirr of a fan and the strange sounds my son’s i-phone makes.

36. Do you hold grudges?
Don’t know, I’ve never had occasion.

37. When did you last step outside?
An hour, or so, ago.

38. Didn't take a shower for a week??
… and lay in a scrape, and shit in plastic bags.

39. Been pushed into a pool with all your clothes on?
… and told to swim two lengths of the pool.

40. Been told you're hot by a complete stranger?
Often, I’m a mind reader.

41. Broken a bone?
Several, playing rugby. Sporting injuries, purely accidental. I would never deliberately hurt anyone.

42. Laugh so hard you cry?
No.

43. Seen anything weird lately?
Voting in a Pilipino election. Machine-readable voting forms, voting machines, about 40 votes to cast, the last one a vote for a party list, choose one from 173.

44. Tell us something about you that we don't know
More or less the same things I don’t know about you. Your height, your weight, your blood pressure etc.

45.Done something dumb while drunk?
I may have, or my mates may just be winding me up. If I was so drunk that I can’t remember a damn thing, then how can they remember anything?
On one occasion, whilst mildly disinhibited through drink, I climbed to the top of one of the diagonal beams on Paddy’s Wigwam. It was damping as I climbed, but when I got to the top It started to hurl down. I started my descent sitting across the beam but the water acted as a lubricant causing me to lose control of my descent. The concrete was faced with tiles, with mortar bumps at the joints. When I reached the ground my backside was bloody and bruised.

46.Something you can’t wait for?
No.

47. Who is the 4th person on your missed call list on your mobile?
My wife.

48. Do you Label yourself?
When I started bar hopping I’d wear a T-shirt with ‘Available’ written on the front. Think that’s blatant – my first Filipina girlfriend was wearing a hanger blouse with ‘Fuck Me / 500P’ written on it.

49. What did your last text message you received on your mobile say?

A guy calling himself SMART telling me that if I gave him MONEY, he would give me a FREE gift. I suppose some people fall for it.

50. What are you wearing?
A towel wrapped loosely around my waist.

51. Name the brand of shoes you're currently wearing?
I’m not wearing shoes.

[SamScribble]

A late addition to my earlier post:

27. Crawled through a window?

At the time, I didn't remember; but now I do. Many years ago, I went to visit my parents. I arrived early. They were out somewhere. But I noticed a high window that appeared to be slightly open. I climbed up and let myself in. And all the time, their vicious guard dog stood and watched me while he wagged his tail enthusiastically.

 

[gunhilltrain]

Who revived this thread? I answered it all, and then I saw I had already done it about eighteen months ago. I even gave the same answers to some of the questions (like the bit about the Lockheed Electra), but some are completely different. But I'm not going to let all of that go to waste.

1. Slept naked?
I don’t think so.

2. Taken a shower with someone?
My ex-wife.

3. Kissed a member of the same sex?
That’s a bit too personal.

4. Driven a car?
A more interesting question: have you ever been in a railroad sleeping car? I have, to Montreal and back a couple of times. You can’t even do that route any longer. Did I ever have sex in it? Yes, I did. Also, it’s hard to sleep in those things because of the noise level and the bed is moving as the car sways.

5. What are you currently reading (book)
My son gave me Heinlein’s Orphans of the Sky for my birthday.

6. Been in love?
Certainly.

7. Been dumped?
I would say so.

8. Stolen money from a friend/family member?
Never, unless I’ve forgotten something.

9. Been in a fist fight?
Not since I was maybe eleven, and it was too minor to even count as a true fight.

10. Snuck out of your/someone’s house?
Yes, several times, and it’s part of an interesting story that would take too long to describe here.

11. Ever had feelings for someone who didn't have them back?
(Yes, it could have been considered as a mental health issue.) I would agree with that previous answer. The three times it happened to me – man, move on to the next one, like immediately.

12. Been arrested?
No, unless you count a bounced check. The court notified me through the mail, no cop showed up. But I did have to have a lawyer represent me. Morristown, NJ municipal court if you must know.

13. Kissed a stranger?
I don’t think so.

14. Kissed more than 4 people in one night?
No.

15. Slept in a bed with a member of the opposite sex?
Does my wife (now ex-wife) count?

16. Been on a plane?
To show you how old I am: My first plane ride was on a Lockheed Electra turboprop. Eastern Airlines, 1977.

17. Been to an island?
Does Ellis Island count?

18. Loved someone or missed someone right now?
(No, not right now.) Same answer.

19. Laid on your back and watched cloud shapes go by?
As a kid, although I don’t think I was lying down.

20. Favorite Planet?
(Earth) Same answer.

21. Been lonely?
Sure, but I’m getting over the most recent bout.

22. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought?
Probably that I need a shave.

23. Would you ever consider living abroad?
I’d consider it, but it’s extremely unlikely now.

24. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?
I already have one: Amy. She’ll be thirty-one this August.

25. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?
I already have one of those too: Christopher. He’s twenty-seven right now.

26. Ever hated the way you look??
I wouldn’t say hated, but rather been – discontented? Now I really don’t worry about it anymore.

27. Crawled through a window?
When I was locked out of my house, when I still owned one. West Orange, NJ.

28. Been lost?
In the woods? Not really, but a bit disoriented perhaps. Ten Mile River scout camp, 1968.

29. Cried yourself to sleep?
I don’t think so.

30. What is the last film you saw in a movie theater?
A revival of Jaws, about four years ago. Struck me that the average movie really was better in the past. Good work by Scheider, Shaw, and Dreyfuss.

31. Laughed until something you were drinking came out your nose?
Yes.

32. Kissed in the rain?
Probably, but I don’t remember it.

33. Sang in the shower?
One in a while, but generally not.

34. What is the last thing you watched on TV?
I don’t have a TV any longer.

35. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?
The Bronx River Parkway. And if a train goes by, Metro-North’s Harlem Division. Cornelius Vanderbilt’s very first railroad, if anybody cares. 1845 or thereabouts.

36. Do you hold grudges?
I try not to, and I’m getting better at it.

37. When did you last step outside?
Yesterday to pick up some seltzer at the store.

38. Didn't take a shower for a week??
Not that long.

39. Been pushed into a pool with all your clothes on?
Never.

40. Been told you're hot by a complete stranger?
Never, I’m sure of that.

41. Broken a bone?
Elbow, but pretty minor. Tripped over a carelessly left tool (not sure what it was) at Hoboken Terminal, NJ.

42. Laugh so hard you cry?
More than once.

43. Seen anything weird lately?
I’d have to think about that one.

44. Tell us something about you that we don't know
If you read my stuff on here, it’s probably obvious. Beyond that, I can’t think of something non-trivial.

45.Done something dumb while drunk?
Do I have to answer this? Puked out of second story window, then had a blackout and found that I had walked over a mile to get home. First time I drank hard liquor I think. Lesson: there is a slight lag until it gets into your bloodstream, and if you pour in more on top of it . . .

46.Something you can’t wait for?
I don’t want to talk about it. It’s not a big deal, however.

47. Who is the 4th person on your missed call list on your mobile?
Who cares? I don’t.

48. Do you Label yourself?
Human? How’s that?

49. What did your last text message you received on your mobile say?
Who cares about this too?

50. What are you wearing?
Another dumb one. Clothes.

51. Name the brand of shoes you're currently wearing?
I don’t know, some kind of blue sneakers from DSW.

52.Felt like killing someone?
For real, only once, and it was only for one evening.

53.Got a piercing?
No, those were not common when I was young.

54.Cried over someone?
All right, after my separation from my wife. Yet it took about four months to really hit me.

55. Who told you he/she loved you last?
I suppose one of my female neighbors, but I think she was being tongue-in-cheek. At least that’s how I saw it. For real, probably my daughter.

56. Last fluffy thing you touched?
One of my cats, now adopted by my sister.

57. Left or right-handed?
Once more, who cares?
