Help get me to 3000 posts tonight...

[Reverend_Smitty]

I've never done an ask me anything thread in 2983 posts, so consider this a momentous occasion, maybe a once in a lifetime thing...Ask me anything...I won't sleep till 3000!

[progmom]

1. Rev, um...I can't think of anything to ask you.

So tell me something funny.
Or sad.
Or dumb.
Ok?

[Reverend_Smitty]

2. Here's some dumb trivia...

If you were to walk from New York City to Minneapolis non-stop, without eating any food along the way you would burn off about 20 pounds of fat. It's dumb trivia because your muscles would tire long before you would be able to complete the journey. It's one of the few things I can recall readily from my exercise physiology class

[progmom]

3. ok....i guess i just killed your thread

I have a habit of doing that.
Sorry!


Goodnight!

4. Will you make a Irish hot chocolate? Or whatever you call those drinks..

:P

[Reverend_Smitty]

7. I'm at school right now...

so I don't have any liquor handy (oh the joys of having an RA live in your townhouse) but this coming weekend, I will definately be making some Irish Chocolates.

5. ok, break down your posts

how many in the lounge, GD, others, and break down exactly what kind of posts they were. :evilgrin:


or, you could answer this: what's your favorite music genre?

[Reverend_Smitty]

8. I could be here for a while doing that...

I will say that I try to stay out of GD as much as possible...I'm mainly a lounge lizard but I do make my way into the Catholic discussion group as well as Irish Affairs on occasion.

Oh yeah I prefer 60's rock, but I do enjoy classical and some jazz. It really depends on my mood...there I answered both questions

[pres2032]

11. awsome!

hehe, you could've answered the questions in seperate posts you know? :-)

I love all those genre's. so here's another question: what are your favorite groups? Do you have a particular type of classical music that you're privy too? Beethoven? Mozart? Brahms?

[Reverend_Smitty]

14. My favorite group of all time...

is The Beatles...I also like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, etc... I love Bruce Springsteen (I have to, it's NJ state law ...lol) and I hope to get online early tomorrow and get U2 tickets.

As for classical, I'd say I'm a fan of Baroque (Bach, Vivaldi, Handel) Followed closely by the Romantic era. Something about Chopin that really speaks to me

[pres2032]

17. i love the Beatles too

I think Handel's Messiah is the most beautiful piece of music ever written.

[Reverend_Smitty]

23. I concur...

One of these days I'm going to see it preformed live. I have to do an oral presentation on a choral composition for my Music Appreciation class, I was going to choose that but someone picked it ahead of me. So I 'settled' on Beethoven's 9th.

[pres2032]

28. If Messiah is the most beautiful, the Ninth is the greatest

piece of music ever written, for its awsome power.

My college choirs combined to perform the Christmas half of the Messiah in December. Incredible and awe-inspiring barely describe it.

[Reverend_Smitty]

54. No doubt

I get chills every time I hear it, few pieces of music can do that to me

6. are you really a Reverend?

[Reverend_Smitty]

10. Yes...

I was ordained through http://www.ulc.org the Universal Life Church. However I'm not a practicing Reverend, just a silly title that I make my friends call me. They won't be laughing at me when someday one of them asks me to preform a shotgun wedding for them! lol

[New Earth]

9. no.

x(

[Reverend_Smitty]

12. Well if you aren't going to participate in my thread...

then I'll make up a question and answer it for you :P

Q: What's your favorite color?

A: Blue

:evilgrin:

[RevolutionaryActs]

13. I always ask this on 'ask me anything threads':

If you were a tree, what kind would you be? :silly:

[Reverend_Smitty]

16. I'd be an orange tree...

My juice would be delicious!

[RevolutionaryActs]

20. Congrats! You have the most unique answer yet!

:toast:

[Reverend_Smitty]

31. woo hoo!

I am unique!

[sparky_in_ma]

15. k

Still awake?

[Reverend_Smitty]

18. I'm still awake...

I usually get a second wind around midnight. Sometimes thats a good thing, other times...not so much. But I don't have class until 1:45 tomorrow, so I don't mind staying up

[LDS Jock]

19. which is better.. cats or dogs?

and no saying you can't choose between the two.. sorry, I ask the tough questions

[Reverend_Smitty]

25. lol...

I'm a dog person, strictly because I'm allergic to cats. But I wish no ill will to my feline friends

[RevolutionaryActs]

21. Do you know how many more posts you need?

:shrug:

[Reverend_Smitty]

[Reverend_Smitty]

[Wapsie B]
