Why did you change your username to this

Well, my elbows have declared utter rebellion on me for an hour every other hour so I guess I'm not sleeping properly tonight.

Southperry members

Do you like holding a teacup with your pinky up or down?

You have 5 seconds to write an answer starting from NOW. And hopefully afterwards realise this wan't a question at all.

I'm expecting Corn's question to be about the ducks and whatnot but yeah.

What has been your most interesting moment during the time you have been here in Southperry?

I don't know how widespread the knowledge I'm a wrestling fan is, but I'm a wrestling fan. In the 90s there was this tag team called Edge and Christian that had a gimmick of being "cool dudes" except they weren't as cool as they thought. They used to make their entrance through the crowd but it took too long and people kept touching them so instead they posed in the ring for five seconds "for the benefit of those with flash photography". I thought it was brilliant so now here we are.

Down. My pinkies get tired really easily, I find. I don't really drink anything out of a teacup, though. I'm not a tea or coffee drinker.

Aside from doing what I like to think is detective work that leads to infractions/bans I make public posts about, probably the transfer of Southperry's ownership. I was rather curious as to who was buying the website, Eos didn't even occur to me as a possibility. XD

Argh all of you (except MariaColette) need to stop giving such unsatisfactory answers. It's an AMA, so divulge a little more: depends on the mood? What foods for what moods? And how long away from home? So what's a favorite food when you're homesick?

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/...e_2321702b.jpg
Do you love it or hate it?

Apple, Banana, or Mango.

Why?

Also, Can you stop being such a stick in the mud about your answers. At least be better at this than Eos. Give some emotion into your posts.

Atleast Ms. RC Cola did better than the rest of you. But then again her imagination is like that of a six yearold on sugar. Crazy and out of this world.

WHO IS THE BEST CHIEF BANDIT BROA HAS EVER SEEN?

Alternatively - marry, pineapple, kill:
Cactaur, madanthony, RocketStar

I'm one of the least decisive people I know. I don't want to commit to saying a certain food is my favourite when I'll probably have a different answer the next time someone asks me. When I'm homesick I just want Indian food. XD

Mangoes, I grew up on those things. In Bangladesh mangoes are one of the most common fruits available and also one of my favourite. Bananas are a runner up since they're easy to eat and I'm lazy, and because of how my teeth grew in (missing two adult teeth which left one baby tooth behind at the bottom) I wasn't even able to eat an unsliced apple until I was 13 and I never got into the habit. As for the rest of your post, that's one of the few reasons I didn't want to do an AMA. I'm answering how I answer questions. The way Dan noted this up there was a fine way to do it. This is the way to make sure I ignore your posts.

man, how is this a softball question

The first one is obvious, no other chief bandit besides me has had as much base dex as I did, so I was obviously the best.

Marry you since you're actually here *cough*, bang Bentuar because a one night stand is about as long as I'll see him for, and kill Jeff because unfortunately for ladies everywhere he's in a relationship.

How's it going today?

100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck?

Yes, I got everyone's hope up by not doing it.

Today was actually a really bad day since for whatever reason my elbows decided to hurt every odd hour I was sleeping for an hour. I went to sleep at 1, woke up at 3 because of elbow pain, went back to sleep at 4 when it went away, woke up at 5 when it flared up again, went to sleep at 6, etc. I just gave up at 10 AM. I've been watching Megaman.EXE Beast since. It's WRASSLIN' NIGHT so in ~80 minutes I'm going to watch wrestling.

Either option seems equally messy. Ducks lay eggs, so I'll go with that, I guess. More useful than horses that can't do regular horse things.

Is "marmite" like "marmalade" or am I on the wrong track here?

Marmite is...
it's..

I have to go to wikipedia to explain it:

Quote:

---

Marmite is made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing. Other similar products include the Australian Vegemite, the Swiss Cenovis and the German Vitam-R.
The British version of the product is a sticky, dark brown food paste with a distinctive, powerful flavour, which is extremely salty. This distinctive taste is reflected in the British company's marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it."

---

it's really bitter, and really really strong.
Marmite is a mystery to most people. I certainly can't decide if I like it or not, and I can't identify the taste :P

#semantics. And even I was a little harsh, so my apologies.

It's just an opinion thing, really, that AMAs are meant to actually provide answers. Sure, prolific and/or powerful figures can and should answer certain thorny or controversial questions with considerable caution, but pretty basic favorite questions and others of the ilk are harmless to answer, so I find it slightly annoying when they're not to some degree. I understand people have "ways" of answering questions (Eos being the perfect example of this), but at least say something like Ray did: "I'm a very indecisive person, but when I'm homesick I just want Indian food." After all, even the Obamas have shared the various foods they enjoy with sharp specificity.

But I digress.

I don't think I've ever asked you, but you're studying economics (iirc): what do you want to do with your degree/what are some of your life aspirations?

---

My official degree that I'm working towards as of now is "honours economics and accounting". I want to be a chartered accountant (possibly an auditor), I don't particularly care for the economics part of my degree. An understanding of economics will greatly assist any sort of future planning like budgetary planning or deciding price points. I'm not looking to become an economist or anything like that, that stuff is far too technical for my tastes. :v

Music!

Many a person has looked upon my iTunes library in utter confusion. I am a rather large fan of classic rock so there's your Queen, your Led Zeppelin, a touch of ACDC and Stones stuff. I like metal so then there's some Motorhead, Dream Theater, and Disturbed. You also have the "odd" end of the spectrum which encompasses my undying love for Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry. I also have a bunch of entrance music for wrestlers that I liked.

This also varies by day. I'm currently a fan of the word "excellent" and not a fan of the word "packing". In general I say words I like a lot and dislike words that represent something I don't want to do.

Naan, paratha, [etc. other types], bread, rice, potatoes, chips [as in wedges/fries], vermicelli, udon [and related noodles].

Choose your evil, and maybe say which type you prefer, how you prefer to have them, and if there is a why.

[Marmite is an extremely... polarising substance. You will either love it or hate it, but I'm neutral to it. It has a slightly sharp and strong smell that does not carry very far, sort of like soy sauce that is starting to char. It's taste is also similar to soy sauce that is starting to char, but is not actually that bitter unless you ate a dollap of it plain. It IS salty, but so is peanut butter. An appropriate amalgam of flavour and texture would be... peanut butter that is starting to dry out, minus the sweet taste, plus the depth and strength of black coffee but not quite that bitter, and the richness of evaporated beef stock. And yes it looks like and has the consistency of tar.]

I eat most types of starch besides bread, really. I love asian-style noodles and poutine in particular. Asian-style noodles have so many interesting things in them and they're spicy, and poutine is just... so good.

If you could turn into any sort of shrub or tree on demand, what would it be?

Marry F'uck Kill:
Abraham Lincoln, Alexander the Great, Nicolas Copernicus.

Favorite food spices?

Leaping from that, favorite type of curry?

Favorite celebrity?

Also, do you know all 50 states of the US (know of a few Canadians who don't)?

I'd be happy to be any plant that's taller than I am right now and is not dying of something like ASIAN LONG-HORNED BEETLES.

Marry Lincoln since he seems like a cool guy, bang Alexander since I heard he was hot, and kill Copernicus because he was unfortunately left over.

I don't know the names of most of them in English. XD Turmeric and cardamom are two that I do know the English names of, my mom uses those a lot and I love her cooking.

I'd probably have to go with biryani and pulao, they go well with meat and potatoes which is something I thoroughly enjoy consuming.

I think Emma Watson because she's really cute and I don't really follow celebrity stuff. Possibly Zooey Deschanel because she's cute and quirky.

I don't think I even know half the states of the US. I've never really put any effort into learning it because it was never information that I needed to know at the drop of a hat.

Batman, because I do Christian Bale Batman impressions all the time.

Honestly though, off the top of my head I'd have to say Samwell Tarly since I'm rereading A Song of Ice and Fire right now. We're of similar body shape, at least. Intelligent but scared of a lot of things, and we're both sort of a disgrace to our families because our relatives (siblings for him, cousins for me) are far more successful than we are.

I'm not actually from Canada, I just live here. I'm from Bangladesh and I've visited there before. Not a big fan of third world countries, no offense. I've been to the Czech Republic and England when I was young (~15 years ago now), I don't really remember that. I was born in the UAE and I stop over there when I go to Bangladesh, that place... has gotten too big for its boots, if that makes sense. Really decadent place and the locals are pretty stuck-up. I was born there but even I'm ineligible for UAE citizenship because you have to have a traceable lineage originating from there or something. I've also been to Baltimore, Dallas, and Houston which were nice places. It's not that different from Canada except for the increased size of cars and houses.

---

Increasing commodity prices are definitely part of it. I'm inclined to think that at least some of the rise can be attributed to the "buy American" policy, though I'm not entirely sure how much. There was some much-needed consolidation in the banking sector that contributed to an increase in consumer and business confidence, which America seems to have greater-than-average levels of. I'm not entirely sure why, but people are always overly optimistic about small changes in the US. I think US stocks are somewhat inflated because of this.

At this point, the smaller one. The S3 and S4 seem virtually identical to me except the S3 is less of a pain to carry around, same with iPhones. I think advances are now being made every OTHER model, not with every new model.
