I'm a popcorn fanatic, so it's usually popcorn-only for me. I never really liked the butter-substance (my stint at the pizza shop suggests to me that it's butter-flavored oil) on my popcorn, but over the past year or so, I've come to use it to help the shake-on flavoring stick. And now I like the oil alone even when there's no flavoring.
If I do eat candy at the theater, it's either Raisinettes or those chocolate chip cookie dough bites. They're pretty tasty. I also occasionally get a craving for pretzel bites or nachos, obviously because they're effective pseudo-cheese delivery mechanisms. -

I prefer "1, 2, 3, shoot!" since it always results in a winner on the first try.

I had forgotten about this incident in college. During our visit with her, Heather had privately mentioned to me which one of you (Brian, Greg, and Tom) she fancied.
The twist on this situation is that I never told you which one of you it was. And the lot of you fretted over it for quite some time, since it was only one of you specifically that she mentioned. There was a good bit of speculation as to why each of you could be it, which I think was the most interesting part for me.
Being that it's been almost a decade since college, I'd sure say that is a long time you've been considering what the answer to this question might be. Yes, quite a long time over which I haven't told you the answer. -
Interesting question! It really depends on the mythos you choose. If you go for the White Wolf Hunter-style mummy and zombie, then definitely the mummy. But if you're comparing traditional mummy and zombie, it's all about not being wrapped in bandages and walking with your arms outstretched. And if we're talking about real mummies (who are dead by definition) versus pretty much any mythical state of living, I'd have to choose zombie. But where it's really at is in the truly great debate: Werewolves versus Vampires.

Bendy straws. They're ubiquitous, useful, and iconic of the frivolity of youth.

I would probably code all day, but for fun. Before I started coding for cash, I coded for fun. It's my fun thing. Surprisingly to some, I actually enjoy it. I'd probably choose an open source project, like Habari, and code it closer to completion.
I'd also probably go biking more, and participate in more activities. I'd love to travel a bit, but I imagine everyone says that, and if I'm just "comfortable" then it's not going to be all champagne and caviar, is it? -
Coincidentally, I've recently been schooling my daughter on the proper answer to this question. Everyone chooses invisibility or flight (ugh, sprout an imagination) or some other strange thing.
All I want is omnipotence. As far as I am concerned, it is the only correct way to answer to the question.
As far as how I would use it... For my own evil purposes, I assure you. Revealing one's plan too early is many an evildoer's fatal flaw. -
Hell if I know.
A better question might be "Why am I insisting on using a fountain pen when there are dozens upon dozens of better, less messy options?"
Huh. To that question, I also don't have an answer. -
Mostly questions like these, but would rather get some thought-provoking ones.

There are plenty of holes in my geek reading, although I'm pretty current on my geek TV and movies.
My current book omissions include the Lord of the Rings (nope, never read it -- I really don't like fantasy), the Baroque Cycle (I keep trying and failing), and Dune (a junior high school reading assignment that I didn't finish).
Still, I'm not convinced that everyone needs to read/watch all of the media in question. I don't like a lot of what I have seen, and don't much intend to sit through a lot of junk just to say I did it. -

Habari support questions are fine, but you should probably direct them to the Habari mailing list. Then, maybe someone else could answer them if I don't know the answer.

Seems like it. Nonetheless, it hasn't sent me mail in a long time, and there's a ton of questions waiting in there.

You are here to ask questions. If the question you've asked was supposed to have been, "What is the meaning of our existence?" then you're looking for more of an existential response -- there is no reason why, there is no meaning. Meaning itself is a set of rules we create. Since we define what meaning is, we must also define what satisfies meaningful. That you're seeking the answer to a question that you alone can define a satisfactory answer to seems nonsensical to me.

You've posted anonymously, so I can't say for sure, but if you're anything like this one guy I know, you're a kind of bike-riding lunatic -- going out into the woods at night in the cold winter weather with nothing but a head-mounted flashlight and some heavy gloves, and freakishly well-trained not just for the conditions but for the intensity of the trail. And while that sounds fun and all, by the end of the day on Thursday, I've had about as much crazy as I think I can stand. Still, tempting, tempting...

Nope. But I'm not a fan of Numb3rs, either. I think their "math" is questionable, and that people hype it kind of bugs me.
-
Surprisingly, not "fine". As a matter of fact, imagining the end of the world bothers me. Especially if it's caused by an asteroid. That kind of freaks me out a lot.

There were two trilogies. The older one (episodes 4-6) was better. But that's not what you want me to say. You want me to say that The Empire Strikes Back sucked. Fine, I'll say it. Here's my ranking order of episodes that matter, from best to worst: 4, 6, 5 Happy?

When I was a kid I wanted to be an astronaut. Even when I got older, I started to make that my career path. Unfortunately, applying to the Air Force Academy requires a letter of recommendation by a state official, and since I didn't know any and that was the only way I saw to eventually qualify for space flight, I had to go a different direction.

I'm pretty happy as a human, and they're animals. Assuming you mean "any animal other than a human", I wouldn't mind a short yet directed life as a fruit fly.
