1. Make your dream sandwhich?

2. Career Goals?

3. Favorite Summer Olympic Sport (not including basketball)

1. Italian Cheese Bread, no butter or mayo, but mustard, layer of ham, layer of turkey, tabasco, barbeque sauce, cucumbers, layer of pepperoni, chicken, more tabasco, salt and vinegar chips, more mustard, top bread.

2. Sports writing, Doctor in space. Though I'll settle for Doctor
3. Swimming

Here are my questions

1. You know more than anyone else the joys of changing your user name. If you could change anyone's user name for it to be more fitting, who would you choose, and to what?

2. Are you upset that you can't talk about girls your age without someone pulling the Chris Hansen pic on you?


3. Assuming career opportunities are equal and therefore negligible, where would you live out of the places you've been this summer (obviously, this includes the USA).

1. King Shake to Queen Shake.

2. I'm upset that I can't talk to you about girls your age without pulling out a Bea Arthur picture, you coot.

3. I'll rank them from lowest to highest:
Dubai (Doubt it can maintain stability)
Mexico
Tanzania
New Jersey
Capetown (most beautiful place on Earth)

1) Favorite non-basketball Olympic sport?

2) Favorite band/musician?

3) Favorite non basketball athlete?

1. Beach Volleyball.
2. Avril and Shakira! Duh!
3. Current? Mariano Rivera. Past, Lou Gehrig.

1. If you could have 3 super powers, what would they be?

2. What is your favorite world empire that existed prior to 1800 AD. (or the most interesting)

3. Why did the chicken cross the road?

1. Flight, Invisibility, Shape-shifting
2. Mughal empire. Often overlooked, but very interesting.
3. Because Shake's mom was on his side of the road!

Favorite under 18 female star?

Favorite and least favorite thing about India?

How was Mexico?

1. Willa Holland (Though I've never seen an episode of The OC in my life)
2. Best is family, worst is movies/music
3. Great. Went snorkeling and scuba diving, which are awesome. In America, an uncertified minor, I should have only been able to go 20 feet down. I went down 80. In my first open water dive. With a cold. Popped a blood vessel in my nose, and one in my ear, but it's all good now.

Since you're a big Yankee guy, what exactly is your opinion of A-Rod's legacy and his post-season issues?

In general, what are the most overrated persons/places/things (doesn't have to be about sports)?

1. A-Rod will likely go down as a top 10 player in history, if not the best ever. He's been playing throughout an era of increased scrutiny, and juiced pitchers. Some call him mentally weak, but he could never be as good as he is if he truly was. He might be an ass outside of the game, but I don't think I know a person who wouldn't take him on their team.
Post season issues have been with everyone on this team since 04. A-Rod is getting shit because he's being payed the most, he's the best, and he's under performing.

2. People: Anyone who gained fame through Disney Channel, or similar means.
Places: This one is difficult. I'd say Niagara, because it's so commercialized now. Cancun on as a close second.

1. Favorite model?

2. Most recent spoken words?

3. Ideal vacation spot?

1. Lima

2 "Just 5 games back"

3. Toughy. I really liked Cozumel, Mexico, though the mainland is supposedly better. Hawaii sounds over-touristy. I wouldn't mind going on vacation to South Africa again.

What's your favorite Olympic sport, not including basketball?

1. Men’s eight rowing

Where would you want to live outside the US?

Your favorite city/town or country that you have visited and would love to go back time after time?

How many languages you speak, and what languages would you like/plan to learn?

1. Capetown, Sweden

2. Capetown, Dubai (after Dubailand, and when it makes an olympic bid. Not sure after that), Tanzania (great family there).

3. Just English and some Gujarati. I want to learn Hindi, and become fluent in Spanish.

1. If you could go back in time to a specific place at a specific time, what would it be?

2. Where would Michael Phelps be placed on your "Top Athletes of All Time" list?

3. What will Team USA accomplish at the Olympics? Any losses? To which team/s?

1. When Jesus was born. See what all the fuss was about.

2. Hum. Difficult. I'm going to go by overall physical, mental, and natural ability:

Woods
Jordan
Ruth
Phelps

3. Sweep the games. Gold medal

Favorite Olympic sport? (excluding basketball)

Women's shot put.

(1) Name three places you've been that are least likely to have been visited by another poster on S2.

(2) What are your five favorite movies?

(3) If you could live anywhere in the world for one year in the past, where would you chose, what year, and why?

1. a.) Mwanza, Tanzania. b.)Nadiad, Gujarat, India. c.) Botswana

2. Tough, since cinema today mostly blows, and I haven't seen many movies from before the 90s. I'll stick to my era of shit:

1. Office Space
2. Lord of the Rings I
3. The Dark Knight (probably because I've seen it the most recently. It'll probably drop)
4. Superbad
5. Forrest Gump

3. Sports related: 1939, New York. Yankees win a Championship, I get to see Lou give his speech.
Non-sports related: 1930, India. Salt March.

1. Why do you think you're so cool?
2. If you could replace anyone on Team USA, who would it be? And with whom? ($5 says there will be some kind of Kidd joke here)
3. What are your 5 favorite movie characters?

1. Because I'm vain as hell
2. Boozer with KG. 5 dollars please.
3. Hard one:
a. Joker (because it's still fresh in my mind)
b. Forrest Gump
c. Han Solo
d. Jack Sparrow, even though I hated Pirates 2 and 3.
e. Miley Cyrus!

If you make a Kidd joke in Joker's 2nd question, could I have 5 bucks?

Who is your fav. Boston Red Sox player right now?

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

1. Sorry

2. Pedroia. He's slow, he's small, and his swing is too big, yet he's still a top player in this league.

3. No need to chuck wood when you can blow the shit out of it:

I have a few more, if I can go over the limit:

(1) What the heck does your user name mean? Why did you choose it? Why isn't there a space between "For" and "Life?"

(2) What do you think are the three greatest movies ever made?

(3) Name your greatest non-sports heroes (living or dead), and explain why you look up to them.

1. When my cousins were coming over, I made my farewell thread on the mod board, and GMJ told me to change my name to "The War Poet", and right haikus about it. #1 is an allusion to #1_Josh_Boone_Fan/#1_Yinka_Dare_Fan, as are the dashes. The ForLife part does not have a dash because my original name was mynetsforlife.

2. Already asked that, silly.

3. I'll list 3:
Gandhi
Tubman
Simon Bolviar.

Who would you rather wanna see: my facebook stalkee, KC and Jigga's tranny hookers, or the <s>trannies</s> girls Shake claims he "hooks up with" at the 16 and under clubs?

Who would you most wanna grow up to be like - ghoti, cpawfan, FOMW or Dumpy?

If you met a girl who was really pretty, but went cross-eyed every once in a while, would you go out with her? (picture nice, ample breasts, a petite yet cute rump, pretty hazel eyes, nice legs...and she's got the V card)

1. Facebook stalkee. That way I can join in too.
2. I WANNA BE LIKE SHAKE WHEN I GROW UP!
Probably FOMW. It'd mean I'd get a sex change, which sounds pretty fun.
3. Sure.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (#1_War_Poet_ForLife @ Aug 15 2008, 08:31 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I'm disappointed that Dumpy didn't ask me about Chess. I was looking forward to that one.</div>

ha, I forgot.

(4) how do you respond to 1. d4?

Indian Defence. Nf6

(5) How many different handles have you gone by, what did they mean, and why did you choose them?

3. Mynetsforlife, #1_Yinka_Dare_Fan, #1_War_Poet_ForLife
1. For MNFL, I was in a hurry to sign up to BBF, so I could bitch about the 3 blind mice game. I think I had just turned 13, and couldn't think of anything witty.
2. The second is an allusion to #1_Josh_Boone_Fan.
3. Third one is already described.

Now that I know to ask chess questions ...

1. How do you respond to 1. e4?
2. Do you prefer 1. e4 or 1. d4 or another first move?
3. Who is your favorite chessplayer of all time?

1. Caro-Kann Defense, because the name used to remind me of Dragon Ball Z
2. I like to move the horsey thingy up two spaces and left one . 1. ef for me
3. My grandpa

 

[CelticKing]

Thanks for all the answers Yinka.

 

[GMJ]

I took a cooking class in Cozumel once. It was a great opportunity to drink tequilla while cooking authentic food. Me: "aw, I wanted to make a Chalupa."

Still waiting on those travel haikus.

 

[huevonkiller]

Just so you know, I don't mind A-Rod, I just wanted to know your thoughts.

 

[pegs]

Willa Holland is pretty hot. Dayum.

Poppin blood vessels...haha awesome.

You will never get to see Facebook stalkee.

Everyone wants to be like Shake. Except for those that want to be like wome-wait, nevermind.

Oh, and about the cross-eyed girl...imagine how weird it would be. Just talking to her - is she talking to you? Or listening to you? You can never be all that sure. And imagine doing her, and it looks like she's staring at a poster on the wall or something...as if she's disinterested. Wouldn't that make you feel weird and a little crappy?

great diving in cozumel.

so how was tanzania, war poet? did your dad use the beanbag trick?

Cozumel diving is awesome. And they don't care about regulations, which is even more awesome. 80 feet on your first dive is nuts.
Tanzania was epicness. Great food, great safari, bad malaria and food-poisoning
Nope. He actually just placed it ontop of the van


At GMJ, I'm still waiting for pictures.

 

[huevonkiller]

Switzerland > Sweden btw. :O

Edit: Random as ****, I know. :[

well, diving isn't regulated here in the US either, but there are more stringent standards, partially for fear of a lawsuit if anything goes wrong. In some of those out-of-the way places, they advise you not to surface until you have 300-500 lbs of pressure left in the tank, which is way too little. You have to watch out for yourself. A couple of times my air has gotten very low--including one of my first dives, where I also went down to about 80 feet--and I was nauseous for about the next 24 hours.

Wasn't the crater cool?

 

[GMJ]

Pictures of...?

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Of my trip. Slow dad is slow.

lol I thought you were waiting on me for pictures.

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Of what? Your life is boring. Unless you mean the trannies. I am still waiting for those.
