The mid-week socializing game…
Awesome! Looks like this game has been a great success; I’m going to make this post/feature a weekly standard here!
Here’s how it works: I’ll start with a question, and the first person answers my question, and then asks a different question for the next person in the same comment.
I’ll start!
What is your favourite wine, if money was no object?
(See… I’m keeping with my theme in the previous post — Go read it, if you haven’t yet!)
You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. Both comments and pings are currently closed.
Montrachet 1978 from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
…a steal at $23,929 per bottle.
Ooops, enigma forgot the next question, so I’ll leave one!
Next question:
Do you want (or have?) kids?
Well, I’m voluntarily neutered, so I guess that’s a good indicator – no kids for us!
What’s your favourite little getaway for a weekend?
Ahhhhh…. Tofino. It’s close and yet you get to feel like you’re worlds away!
What’s your favourite cook-at-home meal when you have the time to indulge?
My favorite meal at home when I have time is appies, I love to make up some of my favorites: stuffed mushrooms, crab cakes,maui ribs and sit back with a couple of good martinis and enjoy!
Next question:
Are you planning to do something romantic with your partner for Valentines or is it just another night?
My first valentine’s date with the woman that became my wife was abox of KD and a roll of toilet paper (she was out in her apartment). Set the bar pretty low.
This year, I’ll be shooting footage at the Canadian International Auto Show. Maybe a nice dinner in the evening. Or I could combine the two and get drive thru?
Next Question: What is your favourite take out item available through drive thru?
You know, I was going to say “the phone number of the hot takeout counter chick” but in fear that my wife reads this, I’ll say “anything with over 20% transfat.”
Question: When was the last time you left your house with no underwear?
Next question:
Do you workout regularily? What is your regime?
ok, I’ll play…. even though I’m only a lurker…
I ref ice hockey 5-6 days a week when I am not being an engineer during the daytime. I skate about 50 miles a week… and think this applies as a “workout”.
Next question:
I’m trying to get rid of 3 daughters… Anyone interested? Ages: 27, 19 and 18!
Ok, that was a joke… I really do like them… kinda.
Next Q…. How do you know Tanya and have you met her in person?
FREE WILLY! FREE WILLY! FREE WILLY!
…ok, joking aside, probably when I last wore my swimming shorts.
PS – Sorry breaking the chain earlier. Thanks for the catch NC… 8^/
Question: What is the most decadent dessert you know of?
Talk about being quick or dead eh?
NOTE TO SELF: YOUR NANO-SECOND CHRONOMETER NEEDS ADJUSTMENT.
I knew Tanya via her blog (big surprise here eh?)…
…before actually meeting her in person even (only once)… …but that was fun too.
Question: What type of watch do you wear?
A 25 year old Cartier.
Is it snowing where you are right now?
T… I am bored at work… can you tell?
No snow. I think we’re done here in the Vancouver area for snow.
Q: Dog or cat person… and why?
(ps: They are calling for snow on Sunday, Rog)
Dog person, definitely. I’m allergic to cats, and I grew up with a dog. I miss being able to take my dog out with me to go for hikes. It’s a great socialing tool, as well!
Q: What’s your favourite technology gadget/item?
Things are rarely boring here…
…but I force myself to take a 5 minute sanity break every so often….
Definately my cellphone….
Question: Weirdest work-related experience?
My favorite technology gadget is my iPod. I love having all of my favorite songs at my fingertips in a gadget that fits in my pocket or purse.
My question: Are you ready for spring?
favourite technology gadget/item is my sony bean. not nearly as fancy as some of the other mp3 players out there but its cute, pink and fits in the palm of my hand very nicely. much like my other favourite gadget…
my question: WHY?
LOL!!! Lara!!!
Why? CUZ! (it fits?)
That is a total parent answer I’ll have you know.
Being as I know none of you people…
Q: What do you do for work? And do you like it?
2 Q’s I know, but deal
I own and run a high end wedding photography studio in Vancouver with my husband – http://www.blueolivephotography.com
And yup, I absolutely love it
Q: What are your plans for this evening? Anything exciting?
I’m going to see Blood Diamond.
What is the most you have won in a lottery?
A1: White Collar Geek (the leather one didn’t fit)
A2: Yes
Q: Weirdest work-related experience? (seeing as nobody answered it earlier)
Miranda – seen your site…
…nice work – both of you.
Miranda… you are awesome!! Those are some of the nicest photos I have seen!! 5th pic on the first gallery is incredible.
And I will let someone else play now!!
A male co-worker walked up to a female co-worker and slapped her in the face in the middle of the office.
I don’t work there anymore by the way.
I’ll answer… Are you ready for Spring?
A: You bet!! I love Spring actually! I have a new housekeeper who’s awesome, and did a very long cleaning last week, so I’m ready to go!
Q: What’s your fetish?
ok… I think I am seriously bored at work.
The toliet paper has to come off the top of the roll and not from the bottom side. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Who is you hero in life?
It’s snowing here in Denver… and we have had snow on the ground since 12/18. If you guys are getting ready for Spring already… I think I’m moving to BC.
A: Thomas Edison
What part of Denver Rick? I used to spend a lot of time commuting from NOAA in Boulder to CO Springs (and surrounds, without getting too specific)
Q: Who was your mentor in younger life?
I’ll let someone else answer your Q there… but I live in Broomfield (about 1/2 way between Denver and Boulder), I work up in Gun Barrel (N.E. side of Boulder). I know someone who works at NOAA… and I am having a mind fart on his name at the moment… I lived in the Springs for 7 years (about 1000 years ago… ok 60′s to mid 70′s). and i went to skewl up in Langley, B.C. 76-77 which is kinda the reason I started reading T’s blog…. that and it was her birthday the first time I visited her site. I think it was a couple years ago now.
No one answered enigma’s question so I will:
Weirdest work related experience – Human remains turned up in our lost and found once!
No kidding, real human bones turned up there. They came in a green bag with numbers on them so I took a wild guess that they were from the anatomy dept. so I rang them. Apparently they’re very expensive and difficult to replace so they really wanted them back.
Next Question: What movie scared you so much so that it stayed with you for days (weeks?)
A: The Blair Witch Project. I saw it on opening night, and didn’t hear that it “wasn’t real” (yes, I’m gulliable) until a few days later. I didn’t sleep much that weekend.
Q: I can afford one of the following – A new iPod or a new digital camera. I currently have a 2nd gen. 20gig iPod, and a fully functioning Canon S200. I want both for my upcoming trip to London, but can only buy one before I go – which would you get?
Hewlowww?
(( pushes taped up glasses on bridge of nose ))
Are their any girls in here?
(( Rolls the dice to see if getting drunk ))
Because, if there are…
last time i checked i qualified as a girl.
any gentlemen kicking around?
re: our photos, thanks guys
A: To Jen – this is predictable – I’d go for the new cam, depending on what you’re looking to get. You do have an ipod and can therefore take music, but you’ll want the pics to be the best they can be as you’ll be looking back on those to remember your trip!
Q: Why is Vern so awkward around members of the opposite sex? Discuss.
A:
hmmm, that didn’t work… …take 2:
A: I’ve was accused of being a gentleman – once.
Jen – I’ld go for the camera too – the iPod should do you… …unless you were planning to take your entire video collection with you (the airline movies aren’t that bad!)
Pat – thanks… …and ewwwwww
Q: What’s the best place to hide a coworkers body?
[yes, I'm having one of those days]
Miranda: Vern is shy and obviously blinded by shiny things.
Enigma Wrapped in a Mystery: Who are YOU???
A: A recent aquaintence of Tanya’s…
…some might know me better as Mike
Q: Any recommendations for AJAX email clients that incorporate LDAP authentication?
Ha!!! For once… IM NOT the thread killer!!
Ooooooo :O Shiny beer can… Mmmmmmmm
[giggle]
Javakinetic is funnnnnyyyyy…….
Tanya and I are President and Vice respectively of the I heart Java Fan Club
Hate to be the party pooper but what was the last question? Where to hide the body or who are you?
I am so lost.
LOL! The thread kind of fell apart…
