Hey there fellow internet humans. I was just introduced to this forum today, and I've been thoroughly impressed with your ability to present cognitive arguments as well as ridicule them. I originally hail from the frozen tundras of Hawaii but am presently teaching english in Fukuoka Japan. Naistoomeechoo, as they say here.

Below are a few questions to test your skills of psychicedness.

Based on what you know about me:

1. What color are my eyes?

2. What do I usually do at 2:45 pm on Thursdays?

3. What is my religious affiliation?

Answers await the deserving...

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

1. Bloodshot

2. Empty your bowels

3. You engage in Tante worship

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

1. One blue, one hazel

2. What everyone does at 2:45pm on Thursdays...or is that just me?

3. You worship our lord and savior, George Lucas.

Welcome to the 'rack.

Pastafarian?! That's hilarious.

Ryuko:

日本に住んでいますか？
私はいつまでも勉強中でしょ？！
りゅうこは英語出来ますか?

Posted by kaminari (Member # 9622) on :

Wow, so I just asked Ryuko if she could speak english. Then I looked, and at 4773 posts I'm sure that was a stupid question. It's kind of reactionary you know? I have to ask that a lot here in Japan. My apologies.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Can Ryuko speak English?

Well, sometimes she has to be prodded a little . . . [Wink]

Posted by Morbo (Member # 5309) on :

She's from Minnesota, just totally into Japanese culture.

1) An interesting shade of deep violet. Well, you would really enjoy them if they were.

2) The same thing you do everyday, try and take over the world.

3) I'm not sure but it involves elaborate clothing optional rituals that usually include a small waffle iron, a Chihuahua, and large amounts of banana extract.

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

Awww, look at that. I got a girlfriend on my first day at school.

Posted by Dr Strangelove (Member # 8331) on :

31 posts in 2 days, including a couple posts in Begging the Question. Anyone wanna place bets as to when he'll catch up to Tante? [Wink]

1. Your eyes are brown.

2. You sleep. That's what any sane, rational, intelligent person would be doing on a thursday afternoon.

3. You're an atheist. I'm pretty sure it's the atheists turn to gain a member.

Posted by kaminari (Member # 9622) on :

Wow, I've never been called sane, rational, or intelligent before. You've earned your name in the eyes of this one.

On the other hand, man you're close in your guesses.

Posted by Tatiana (Member # 6776) on :

Welcome, kaminari! Your name reminds me of kalimari (is that how you spell it?) and makes me hungry.

I won't guess your questions, since I'm only psychic with people I know. When will the answers be revealed?

Posted by kaminari (Member # 9622) on :

I believe that's calamari. And I'm glad I make you hungry. Let's go eat.

Sorry, I never really set a deadline on the answers did I?

See, it makes me think of katamari. Make of that what you will. And welcome!

kaminari means thunder in Japanese.

kami = God

nari = to roar, to resound

Posted by theamazeeaz (Member # 6970) on :

Today? Seriously? You've been busy. I've been working hard for years to find intelligent things to say get my post count as high as it is! You'll beat me in the next week!

I digress.

At least they're significantly better than "The Adventiculum."

Posted by Dr Strangelove (Member # 8331) on :

Amen to that.

Yes, let's go eat! You pick where! [Smile]

1. Colored by personal tragedy deep in your hidden past.

2. As a consequence of the causal illusion we call "free will" your neuronal synapses release vast amounts of dopamine into your circulatory system as you consume sustenance loaded with huge amounts of glycemic fatty acids from Micky D's.

3. I would have said Pastafarian, but upon furthur observation, it doesn't appear you have been touched by His Noodly Appendage. I'm gonna say you're a nihilist.

1. Blue eyes

2. You are either done teaching for the day, or you're in the middle of 6th period doing individual tutoring of middle school students.

3. Christian

HEY! Now that I'm done with that, I'm interested in learning about the various programs in Japan where you can teach english. I heard you don't have to speak Japanese, just know your English well.

I'd like to have a really immersive learning experience with Japanese. Rote and classes are alright, but I need to be dropped in the middle of things so I can figure them out.

...

Can we talk more? Send me an email!
