You make me sound like a man eater! Ask anuone on the board, I'm a little lame!

[Vespasian]

25. I certainly do.

But who said there was anything wrong with that?

[Lady Freedom]

26. Ah but I am an angel!

I could never be so naughty! Why you can trust me! See, no big teeth! :)

[Vespasian]

[Lady Freedom]

[Vespasian]

33. Boxers.

Too easy. I want some tough questions! :7

[Lady Freedom]

38. Top or bottom?

Edit: You asked for it!

[Vespasian]

40. Uh... eh... errh..

I, uh. Okay, you got me. I'm stumped.

But I'm gonna go with... bottom!

[Lady Freedom]

44. So...

you like to be on the bottom? Never on top?hehe!

[Vespasian]

45. It's not fair to make me pick just one!

I mean, can't a guy switch off every now and then?

Variety is the spice of life, after all.

[Lady Freedom]

47. Silk or satin? And yes you can have both!

And both with the top or bottom question too!

[Vespasian]

48. Jeez, NOW you tell me.

There are... situations... that call specifically for one of them.

In general, though, I'll have to go with silk.

[Catshrink]

2. Welcome to DU, Vespasian.

Where are you? Phoenix area for me....

Cat or dog person?

[Vespasian]

4. Little Rhody!

Newport county - big tourist area in the summer.

I have a cat. I named him Buckshot because I thought he was vicious, but he turned out to be a pansy. I don't hold it against him, though. :P

[Catshrink]

8. We got 'em in the winter

actually, starting October 1 through April 1. The darn snowbirds -- people who can't drive but do their best to clog the roads. But hey, they pump money into our economy and keep the local Wal-mart afloat.

What work do you do? I teach.

[Vespasian]

13. A bum!

I'm without a job right now. I'm going to a local community college and basically biding my time until I have the opportunity to transfer somewhere decent.

Every now and then I work for my father, who runs a nursery/garden center around here. Very laid-back job, not bad at all.

[prolesunited]

6. How did you find DU?

:hi:

[Vespasian]

9. I've been lurking since mid-June...

but I don't recall how I found my way here! :shrug:

[prolesunited]

14. What made you decide

to finally register? What was your first post about?

[Vespasian]

16. I had been meaning to register for a while...

I lurked on GD for a good long time, then drifted over here to the lounge, which is where I started posting. There wasn't really one specific post that I decided to register for, I just figured it was about time I got in on the action! :D

My first post? It wasn't too long ago - in fact, it's still on the first page!

[prolesunited]

21. And what a splash you made

with your first post. That gave me a chuckle. I'm sure you'll fit right in around here.

[Vespasian]

23. Thank you!

I sure hope I fit in - 'cause I'm here whether you guys like it or not! :evilgrin:

[roughsatori]

11. What are some of your favorite books?

Not including current political writings. Welcome to DU! :)

[Vespasian]

15. Good question!

I used to read loads of horror novels when I was younger - Stephen King, Dean Koontz - but I've sort of grown out of that.

I've been sticking mostly with textbooks now that I'm back in school, but I read Catch-22 recently, and thought it was a riot.

[roughsatori]

18. Heller's Catch-22 is funny and sad too

I've not read much horror (other then the newspaper), but I use to be a huge fan of science fiction. I almost just ordered J.G Ballard's new one on-line.

[liberalmuse]

12. Welcome to the Monkeyhouse!

I hope you enjoy posting at DU. I've found it's cheaper than therapy. :)

On edit--the question: What was the best film you've seen recently?

[Vespasian]

19. Thanks!

Best film I've seen recently is, without a doubt, Kill Bill.

When it turned into a campy japanese samurai-spinoff type movie, I was in heaven. :D

[seventhson]

20. If you liked Catch 22 try slaughterhouse five by Kurt Vonnegut

You are noit too far from me.

I love Charlestown Beach when I can get there and Ninigret's old Fort near the Res


I saw James Brown play Newport when I was a kid and Sly Stone too many many many moons ago.

David Peel and the Lower east side were playing up against the wall motherfucker in the woods and the croweds stormed the walls for a free concert and all night rave. People were balling in the woods and in the grass.

Man that was heaven. I was 14

Newport.

Nice memories

[Vespasian]

22. Sounds awesome!

That was way before my time - nowadays, we have to go up to Providence or Boston to see any decent shows. I hear a lot about the jazz festivals they still have in Newport, but haven't had a chance to check any of them out yet.

If I remember correctly, Bob Dylan came up here not too long ago. I should have been paying more attention to that, it may have been a once in a lifetime opportunity.

[Kat45]

28. Are you Armenian? n/t

[Vespasian]

31. Don't I wish!

I'm Irish, Portugese, Cherokee.

If you don't mind me asking, why did you mention Armenian specifically?

[Kat45]

32. Because of your user name.

If it were a last name, it would be Armenian. Why do you wish you were?

[Vespasian]

35. Just a joke.

Interesting - I had no idea the name was Armenian. It was also the name of a Roman emperor - and, I've been told, an Italian scooter.

Go figure!

41. HAHAHA Im not buying it.

[Vespasian]

43. Whoosh - over my head!

I don't get it - who do you think I was?

[1a2b3c]

46. Im just messing with you

Its my twisted sense of humor.

[Vespasian]

42. Why do you ask?

Were there disruptors with similar names?

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

36. why the name?

interesting choice :)

[Vespasian]

39. Studied the Roman Republic and Empire

in a Western Civ course in high school. Took an interest in it, for some reason. As for choosing this name specifically, I'm not sure why. The most notable thing about Vespasian - so far as I know - is that he restored order to the empire after the reign of Nero, one of Rome's worst emperors (burn Rome and blame it on the Jews, anyone?).

But, why choose a dictator? Well, I'm a nerd who's wasted more hours than I can keep track of playing Civilization and plotting to take over the world. So, in a way, it's fitting. :D
