Can we make a new "100 questions"? - Albertosaurus Rex - Oct-08-2010

Okay, so the "100 questions" thread was a bit immature. So, why don't we go about making a new list of questions. What should be on it?

To start with, I'm thinking something like:


Basic identity stuff!
1. What is your name?
2. What is your gender?
3. What is your birthday?
4. Where do you live?
5. Are you married? or: Do you want to get married?
6. For that matter, what's your sexual orientation?
7. Do you have any children? or: Do you want to?
8. What's your occupation?

Now granted, this might be too... inquisitive for many people...

Personal interests!
1. What's your favorite book?
2. What's your favorite film?
3. What's your favorite tv series?
4. What's your favorite video game?
5. What's your favorite sport?
6. What's your hobby?

Life, the universe and everything!
1. So what is your religion? (If you are religious, that is.)
2. Do you believe in God?
3. Which historical person do you admire most?
4. Which person in your life do you admire most?

...These aren't 100 questions by far, but it's a starting point.

And some questions from the previous edition we won't be asking!
Have you ever had sex? (If only because these days, how many sex partners one has had is often the more relevant question.) Do you sleep with a stuffed animal? (Do we really need to know this?) What's your favorite gemstone? (How many people even have a favorite gemstone?) If you could dye your hair any color, what would it be? (Just go ahead and do it.)

I agree some wouldn't want to answer some of those questions, if like me they choose to remain a mysterious (or possibly boring) enigma, but then they can just leave 'em blank I reckon.

Hmmm what would I ask?

What do you grow in your garden (outdoors and/or indoors)?
What's your favourite song to sing?
Have you ever baked a loaf of bread from scratch? (if so was it good?)
Do you like mangoes?

And the perennial favourite:
What colour undies are you wearing right now?


RE: Can we make a new "100 questions"? - Rendezvous - Oct-12-2010

An interesting question might be

What nation do you live in and how happy are you about it?

I love all the WHYs! Smiling It's my favourite question.


RE: Can we make a new "100 questions"? - Nuytsia - Oct-13-2010

Holy moley Farseer what a list!! Thankful

And I only put that in about mangoes cos I think they are a love/hate thing and I would want to know one's stance on them.


RE: Can we make a new "100 questions"? - Albertosaurus Rex - Oct-13-2010

Hey Farseer, I think many of those questions you posted are quite thought provoking.

Nuytsia: What if you've never actually eaten a mango?


RE: Can we make a new "100 questions"? - NeverBeenWise - Oct-13-2010

Farseer, if that's your definition of "a couple," I'd hate to see what you classify as "many"! Wink Joker

Seconded!

Oooh that's interesting to know too! I class it in the same category as 'never been to the ocean'! I considered proposing 'have you ever been to the snow?' but thought anyone not from Australia might say WHO hasn't seen snow??
And ok some people in Australia might say that too .....

Another possible response: What the heck is a mango?

Sounds almost like the basis for some incredibly lame joke.....
Knock knock? Who's there? Mango. Mango who? (in indeterminate yet hilarious accent) Man go craaaazy when I knock on his door!

Hmmmmm ok other questions:

What's your stance on (a) compulsory corsets for the Under 5's (b) the serving of asparagus at breakfast and © the abolition of slavery?
(ok I just put that last one in for a joke)
(Spot the 'quote' anyone?)

And more importantly, how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Good lord, I think I've turned into someone's father who drank too much at Christmas lunch!!!!!

I AM sober I swear.....

SERIOUS ONE NOW:

Describe a personality trait for your Starsign that is just SO WRONG in your case...... (eg Leos are vain)
