At long last, the time has come for the second edition of my exclusive, sinfully delicious, award-winning occasional questionnaire, Irregular Inanity. If you were around the first time, 41 days ago, either as a participant or merely a spectator, you no doubt remember the soul-searching nature of the questions I posed. This time is no different.
If you are a new reader, or for some reason you missed the first round, please refer to the original questionnaire here before proceeding.
If you choose to participate, please leave a comment here with a link to your answers on your own site. If you do not have a site, you may leave your answers here (without reproducing the questions themselves). Please note, however, that if you do have a site and you leave your answers here anyway, I will delete them posthaste, pronto, and immediately (if not sooner), which will result in calling you all sorts of unflattering (yet appropriate) names loudly enough so you will hear them no matter how many miles, oceans, or continents separate us.
So now, without further ado, here are today's questions. Have fun.
- You're at a restaurant with a friend, and he is in the restroom when the food arrives. There are french fries on his plate (or something else that you like). Do you take some before he comes back? If so, do you tell him?
- That "I'll have what she's having" line from When Harry Met Sally: Inspired or tired? Sublime or asinine?
- You break it, you buy it? - or - You break it, you run away?
- Which sucks the most: emptying the dishwasher; putting away the groceries; folding the laundry?
- Anna Nicole Smith: "I still say the overinflated harlot has a pretty face" or "Face?"
- You wake up before your "significant other" and see that the dog/cat/baby did his "business" in the middle of the living room floor. Do you sneak back into bed and pretend you didn't see it, knowing that your S.O. will be up in five minutes and thus take care of it?
- Jan or Marcia?
- Cake: Eat with your hands or with a fork? (And don't tell me you don't eat cake, or I'll have to toss you into a windowless, dank basement along with the people who say they don't ever watch TV.)
- Name one article of clothing that you cannot live without and one you wouldn't be caught dead wearing.
- Caffeine: friend or foe?
- Raisin Bran as a snack: Eat whatever comes out of the box, or root around for more raisins?
- What's the best thing you've ever stolen from work? (If you think you've never taken anything, then where the hell did you get that nice Razorpoint pen with the company logo that you keep in the kitchen junk drawer?)
Thanks for your participation. Have some orange juice and a couple of crackers. fresh-baked at 04:18 PM
This is the most of used my brain in six days. Oh, wait, actually, in about three weeks. Yikes!

Offered by: erin on August 12, 2002 5:25 PMAlrighty then. Guess I'm kinda dumb on this FIM, but I thought I did ....
Offered by: Zaldor on August 12, 2002 2:05 PMZaldor: Apparently you did not follow the directions and read the earlier entry I linked, wherein I introduced Irregular Inanity and described what it was all about. I suggest you do so!
Offered by: Jodi on August 12, 2002 1:55 PMAnd I thought you didn't like these sort of things, Jodi... ?
Mine are at my site :)
Offered by: Zaldor on August 12, 2002 12:53 PMFor the so-called record, Thomas, I loathe "S.O." too. (The term, I mean, not the actual person!)
Offered by: Jodi on August 12, 2002 8:53 AMGetting it up now as we speak! (in a matter of speaking of course!)
Offered by: Lisa on August 12, 2002 8:49 AM1. He leaves my food alone, I leave his. Violating this rule may result in eye injury and loss of respect.
2. Inspired at the time. Now it's sad.
3. You break it, you sue the store for emotional trauma.
4. None of the above. (Changing the litterbox.)
5. Face?
6. You clean it up yourself. Unless the sight of said mess makes you gag. Then you wake S.O. (I LOATHE that abbreviation) and explain the predicament. The S.O. should know you well enough to know your aversion to such things, and will unselfishly remove the mess from your sight.
7. Jan. Her self-consciousness and need for attention means she'd be willing to get really freaky.
8. Fork. Not even wedding cake. The act of cramming wedding cake into, and on, your spouse's face is called "passive-aggresion" and means that you want to humiliate and dominate that person for all time.
9. Socks are a must. I'd never wear a "man-thong".
10. Most loyal friend known to man.
11. No raisin picking! That's cheating and I'll kick your ass.
12. Not sure if it qualifies as stealing as it was slated for the trash, but a battery backup system capable of keeping my entire house running for 5 minutes in the event of complete power loss.

Offered by: Chrysant on August 11, 2002 12:23 AMI have a site now, but it's got nothing to do with me, necessarily. So here are my answers:
1. No. Unless I'm paying.
2. Tough one. It was funny in an ironic, "ba-dump-bump", sort of context, but it was a little over the top.
3. Dollar Store: Buy it; Other: Don't touch it in the first place.
4. What's a dishwasher?
5. Neither. "Get off my TV set, you somnambulent slut!" is more like it.
6. No. Never. You can't prove anything.
7. Cindy. Just kidding. Jan.
8. Fork. Or spork, if I have one.
9. You're a getting a little James Lipton here. Ok, jeans, and Speedo.
10. Foe. Doctor's orders.
11. I'm a Cheerios man. Raisins are really bug abdomens. I read that on the Internet somewhere.
12. My wife stole a laptop. I can't top that.
Please stop by my place for the answers.
