10 Questions Icebreaker Whatchamacallit

in #weonlywantyourcharts5 years ago (edited)

Always some mixed emotions when being nominated for this kind of thing. I feel current readers either know me 'enough', or don't want to know me (which is fine). Anyways, here we go again, and this time it's thanks to @raj808, who likes asking awkward questions, and eye-balling Seals :)


1. What supernatural power would you want to have?

Invisibility. And without the requirement to don a stupid cloak or a ring that sends you all weird and overly precious. I had lots of reoccurring dreams about being chased when I was younger, and most of the time invisibly (and flying) bought me some time. They always get you in the end though.

Nowadays I'd use this power for being a creeper, stealing from the rich to give to the poor, and finding stuff out which wouldn't be out of place on Wikileaks.


2. If you could choose your birth place, where will it be, and why?

As long as it was temperature/hot all year round I'd be OK with that. Although, being a Brit has it's benefits (at least until Brexit ruins things?) as you have a fairly open passport for travel and reasonable education options And then, like me, you can make a run for the sun at a later date.

https://www.passportindex.org/byRank.php - United Arab Emirates is the number 1, ranked by 'visa-free' score. I didn't know that.


3. If you could go back in time to meet someone from the past, who will it be and why?



Not sure if listing relatives is cool for space-time continuum but i'd like to 1) Go see my Dad at 40 to find out if he was as big a plonker as stories suggest. And 2), go see my Grandma to tell her how ace she is.

If relatives are not allowed, then I guess a visit to the Wright brothers would be pretty cool. A chance to feel all clever and help them discard some of the designs to save a bit of time and effort.




4. Which childhood memory is your favorite?

I can think of at least 3 occasions where I've scored goals playing football from distances/angles that an 8-10 year old, who isn't now playing for Barcelona (OK, coaching then!), should not have scored from.



1996 Becks? Pfft, try '86 buddy 😛

I also remember hearing 'he's taken it too far' after I'd skipped past a few opposition players and to the bi-line, before crossing to the back post for a teammate to score a 1 yard header. That shut them up!


5. What are the three things you notice in the opposite sex first?

Eyes, smile, and the utter disdain towards my footwear.

6. If Life was music, what song will yours be playing ?

Impossible! How about 2 from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, in 'Tonight, Tonight' (good day) and 'Thirty-Three' (bad day).

7. If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done?

Drunk in charge of Bicycle.

8. In one sentence, how would you sum up the Steem platform?

A circle-jerk of circle-jerks with industry disrupting potential.

9. What’s the funniest Wi-Fi name you’ve seen?

disconnected
freeporn
free_virus_here

10. What’s something your brain tries to make you do and you have to will yourself not to do it?

Smoke, drink, gamble, and write much more here!


Nominations

Let's see if @elipowell has time away from her busy schedule to tell us a bit more about herself. Yo @smasssh, you up for this? I also wonder if @meesterboom has time to break from his (excellent) posting schedule. @blewitt, you are up also, after you've straightened that chandelier.

But really, anyone, If you want to write a post, do it! Tag me for 3 cent up-votes, at least!


This challenge was started by @daniel-otaniel, who has the urge to jump off buildings but is still here, thank goodness.

The fine print

• Make a post answering all ten questions, be fun and spontaneous, you don't have to think so hard.
• Link this post to your post, so that others who are to join, get to know the rules for joining.
• Add either of #tenquestions or #icebreaker as one of your tags, this would make it easier for others to get to read your answers.
• Nominate at least three other users to join this challenge.
• Have fun.


Alright, I shall go back to my JSON queries and ideas for retention/engagement games.

Have a good one!

Sort:  

Eyes, smile, and the utter disdain towards my footwear.

Ha ha! That's the funniest thing ever! Now I'm curious... What is on your feet?

hahaha :D

loving those!

It's about all a burger is good for really. Cushioning your walk.

Basically my favorite trainers are knackered. The stitching around the big toes is coming loose, and my backups are flip-flops, without the toe tongue thing - apparently not cool at all!

Haha... mine will still have the plastic tag that used to have the price tag on it... from the day I buy it, until the day that I bury it!

If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done?
Drunk in charge of Bicycle.

Ha ha, I've just come back from my first bike ride in ages and now I'm gonna vlog about it... I got the steem addiction bad. Someone shoot me.

I get where you're coming from on Number 1 and 2 as well. I used to have those dreams where I was being chased and then escaped by flying away, they were awesome.

And as for number 2 well... yes you've guessed it, it's fckn raining here in UK :(

Thanks for the shout out and introduction btws

This post gets my

Yes! The @raj808 seal of approval :D

Get your blog on man, we are at bare bones personnel-wise and so the more legible posts the better.

Flying dreams were my favourite. I used to take off out of the bedroom window (luckily never acted this out as it was 15 odd feet to a patio) and fly using breaststroke - random!

Maybe just tell me the next time you see the sun again, could save wearing your keyboard out :D

I know what kind of creeper you would be, and it would have nothing to do with money ;)

haha

Not gonna lie, just didn't add those details.

I got the hoodie if you got the shower :P

Just watched this vid again for the first time in a while - what is the jumpy/floatie shit all about!

Hehe, excellent answers. I will have to have a think about this. Some of those questions are tough!

I tried :) And I'm confident you could rustle something particularly humorous up for us!

Awkward footwear...

Im not sure to think about the male footwear currently when not being flipflops. I mean ...Male-Uggs?

Flip-flops or bashed up trainers - like the ones I was wearing at Steemfest!

Don't tell me you didn't notice :P

Uhhhhh....I have a pretty decent stash of busted up sneakers myself so that is so fully approved! (and honestly not noticed :D)

ahh good, i'll stand next to you at the next Fest then. If there is one :O

I am hoping in warmer days so I can reach on my flipflops myself... My feet arent realzing what is happening being so locked in over the last couple of months

Not nice is it.

The first time i came home after 10 months in flip-flops i played football, my feet had grown (or stretched cause of freedom) and i bust my toe nails in the boots cause they were too small. Feet need space and air!

Thank you very much for the Monsters card!

Comment #2: Also, why is there no pic of your footwear?!? I really want to see if I disdain it or not!

Oh! Man. I actually might make a post asking steemians to post pics of their footwear and then rate the best ones.

Oooo should we co-host a footwear contest? I'm getting weird ideas lol

I am blessed, 2 comments today :P

I was wearing them at SteemFest, the battered up blue trainers.

If you do the post, I'll present my old shoes, and maybe even the 'horrible' (ex's words) flip-flops I like to wear cause they are comfy!

I'm sure you've had your feet in a post quite recently, people might start getting ideas you know... :p

@abh12345, "Drunk in charge of Bicycle." 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Really had fun while having a journey along with this post. Stay blessed.

I'm glad you found some entertainment here! Maybe you could write something similar? :)

I think that it is not illegal to be drunk and cycling, but perhaps they should reconsider as the cyclist could be a serious danger to themselves and other road users.

Thank you and the same to you :)

Yes, for sure I've found entertainment. Keep up and keep entertaining. Have a blessed time ahead brother.

That first tag you used actually made me chortle out loud

I sometimes feel it's true 😭

But that's fine, just gimme the truth!

They come for charts, but stay for the banter...

Posted using Partiko Android

Ahhh :D That's what I like to wake up and read!

The banter right now is really good I think as we have a core of people who are around most days. I'm always up for a bit of banter, generally leaving myself open to attack so I have an excuse to fire some back :D

Mixed emotions? I think half way through you were enjoying this more than your JSON analysis! It was fund to read my friend; thanks for sharing!

These posts take less time, and can be more fun as they are more 'open'. It's the commentating on the chart post that takes the time though - i need a break and to mix it up :)

Thanks for reading!

Hi Asher good answers. The questions are not overly difficult,but looking at them aren't that easy either. This would take time to think and mull over.

The suggestion was to not think too much about them and just write what comes to mind. I guess that could be the reason for the possible over-shares on a couple of answers! :D
