As many people in the so-called "blogging" community know, there are several weekly questionnaires, ranging from "Sunday Op-Ed" to "Saturday Scruples", to which many people respond.
I'm not a big fan of routine, so I don't participate in these questionnaires. I don't respond well to regularity (no "laxative" jokes, please -- I'll have to ask you to scat if you insist on making one) (besides, I just did so, and that's about as much hilarity as I can handle). That doesn't mean I don't like reading people's answers. So with that in mind, I hereby offer you my special questionnaire, "Infrequent Inanity", which contains neither a theme nor a purpose -- except my own amusement (I never said I wasn't selfish).
Put down the comics page (and stop pretending you're really reading the serious news, because I'm just not buying it), and answer these simple questions. If you want to post your answers here as a comment, please do so. Or, if you prefer to post them on your own site, leave a comment here with a link to your answers. (Update, 9:32 p.m.: I'd prefer the latter. It will save my "bandwidth", whatever that means. Thanks.)
- Are your Sundays spent in a lazy daze or in a panic to get everything done that you didn't accomplish on Saturday?
- When you put away freshly laundered towels, do you put them on top of the towels that are already in the closet or at the bottom of the pile?
- On a plane, do you prefer an aisle or window (or middle??) seat?
- Chinese food: Chopsticks or fork?
- French fries: steak-cut or shoestring?
- Band-Aids®: Pull off quickly or peel off slowly?
- Do you sleep with a stuffed animal (other than your spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend)?
- Catherine Zeta-Jones: overrated or ... not?
- Chocolate: dark or milk?
- Would you ever consider plastic surgery?
- Do you love me, do you Surfer Girl?
Thanks for your participation! Stay tuned for future installments of Irregular Inanity. (Maybe.)

Offered by: Twinks on September 22, 2004 10:18 PMMy inanity is yours for the asking.
Offered by: Eyre ni Rhuth on July 1, 2002 7:18 PMRATS! You beat me to it. This was going to be the next installment of my "Imitation is the sincerest form of sarcasm" series. Anyway, here I go..
Are your Sundays spent in a lazy daze or in a panic to get everything done that you didn't accomplish on Saturday? somewhere between both, actually. I usually spend them in a lazy daze, and then I'm mad because I didn't accomplish anything.
When you put away freshly laundered towels, do you put them on top of the towels that are already in the closet or at the bottom of the pile? I strip naked and roll around in them. Occasionally this gets me so happy that they have to be re-laundered, but usually I can just fold them back up and put them on the bottom of the pile.
On a plane, do you prefer an aisle or window (or middle??) seat? I bring a lawn chair and bolt it to the wing.
Chinese food: Chopsticks or fork? Chinese? Fork. Thai or Japanese? Chopsticks.
French fries: steak-cut or shoestring? Tater Tots. (though you'd be amazed where those things can end up if you drop one.)
Band-Aids®: Pull off quickly or peel off slowly? leave on until they fall off on their own time. After all...they helped me heal, the least I can do is not rush them.
Do you sleep with a stuffed animal (other than your spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend)? HELL yes. She sleeps with one too. I'll show you a picture sometime.
Catherine Zeta-Jones: overrated or ... not? Who?
Chocolate: dark or milk? carob. Yeah, I know, I know. I'm one of the five people who actually likes it.
Would you ever consider plastic surgery? For me? no. For others? Certainly. For example, I think Ann Coulter would look stunning...without a mouth.
Do you love me, do you Surfer Girl? That depends. Were you serious about that "two girls for every boy" idea?
In keeping with the spirit of this whole (or is that hole venture?) I'll answer these questions some time next week. Or not.
Offered by: Kim on July 1, 2002 4:04 PMOh, how could I resist a chance to talk about me?
1. A-Accomplish? That's when you ... huh?
2. Not applicable, as I only have enough towels to fill up the towel racks in my apartment.
3. Window. Double the headrest!
4. Fork.
5. Steak-cut, and irreparably burned.
6. I like to pull them off slowly and make pained faces. It freaks out people a lot more than you would think.
7. No, but I do sleep with my guitar.
8. Overrated. Gorgeous though.
9. Milk.
10. I don't think I'd ever get my face yanked into weird shapes and textures, but below the neck is anybody's guess.
11. Sure. I love everyone!
Posted mine for the very first time.
Offered by: Rick on June 30, 2002 7:14 PMShawn has me on the trackback bandwagon. It's pretty cool -- and perfect for the irregular inanity! ;)
Offered by: Kelly on June 30, 2002 7:12 PMMy answers are here.
TrackBack sounds great. Another reason why I *need* to bit the bullet and do the domain name and MT thing...
Offered by: maddy on June 30, 2002 6:27 PM"The word", Tess, "the word"!
Offered by: Jodi on June 30, 2002 6:10 PMSee. This is EXACTLY why you need the Trackback feature. Do you want me to help you set it up?? I will... just say the word.
If you had Trackback, instead of people posting here, sucking YOUR bandwidth and server space, they could all just "trackback" to this post. You would have instant access via trackback links to their answers and they would not need to come here and say, "Ok... I've posted mine". You'd already know by the link showing up in your trackback view. See?
Offered by: Tess on June 30, 2002 6:01 PM1. Are your Sundays spent in a lazy daze or in a panic to get everything done that you didn't accomplish on Saturday? Lazy daze, and proudly so. Saturday, too. And, quite possibly, Friday. (I do go to the gym, though. OK, so I need a beating.)
2. When you put away freshly laundered towels, do you put them on top of the towels that are already in the closet or at the bottom of the pile? I rotate them. Yes, I do. The new stuff goes on the bottom. It's only fair. Otherwise, the unused stuff gets mad at me and then "runs" in the wash the next opportunity it gets.
3. On a plane, do you prefer an aisle or window (or middle??) seat? Window. But I should really choose the aisle, given that I need to use "the ladies" at least twice an hour. The middle seat should be banned. It's purgatory.
4. Chinese food: Chopsticks or fork? Chopsticks. Even when eating spaghetti.
5. French fries: steak-cut or shoestring? Steak-cut. Toasty on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Just like me.
6. Band-Aids®: Pull off quickly or peel off slowly? As quickly as possible. I'm not as much of a masochist as you probably think I am.
7. Do you sleep with a stuffed animal (other than your spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend)? I do. Yes. Two mooses/meese -- a biggish blue one, and a smaller brown one with a permanently affixed scarf around his neck. I'm an infant.
8. Catherine Zeta-Jones: overrated or ... not? Definitely overrated. Although I do have a picture of her on my bulletin board, from the New York Post, in which she's getting out of a limousine and looking spectacular. Again, I need a beating.
9. Chocolate: dark or milk? Dark. I'll take the milk, too, though, if you have any to spare (even though milk, on its own, makes me wretch).
10. Would you ever consider plastic surgery? Yes. For Joan Rivers. She needs one of her old faces back. For myself, I don't think so. But ask me sometime after I see my face in a magnifying mirror under fluorescent light.
11. Do you love me, do you Surfer Girl? How could I not?
Offered by: Jodi on June 30, 2002 5:11 PMI love it. And yes, I posted mine on my blog.
And where are *your* answers, my dear? :)
Offered by: Kelly on June 30, 2002 4:40 PM1.I strive for lazy Sundays.
2.Bottom of the pile.
3.Window: With all the sh*t folks drag on a plane, I fear a broken neck should I be seated in an aisle when that latch breaks!
4.Fork.
5.Steak-cut.
6.Quickly!
7.Does a dog count?
8.Overrated.
9.Dark!
10.Yup!
11.Nope.
