Against a wall. Have I split my skirt?
Some skirts are supposed to have splits.
Are you feeling aggro?
No. It's a piece of cake. You have to make aggro for yourself and that's hard work.
Do you like work?
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Is it your birthday in November?
As a matter of fact I was born in November. I wasn't expected to live. I came out green at 8 months. They said that the size of my head had got my Mum on the dither and had brought on the spasms. I was told that the doctor, on the am rounds said "Is he still with us?"
I think November is the best time to be born traditionally. Mid-Oct to mid-December. I could explain why I think that but I fear it will bring tears to your eyes and a wistful longing to your meditations. My explanation justifies the scientific validity of astrology. I think I gave a quick version on this very thread which impressed one or two of the ladies and which is now in the bowels of this machine. But I left out the gut-wrenching nostalgia stuff. I'm under an "S" sign.
Do you get lots of birfday cardiewardies?
I get the usual amount, mine is in February. Do you think it strange that an academic would refer to his Star Sign?
Not if he knew my theory. If your putative academic doesn't know my theory then it is more than strange. It's barmpots.
I ought to have said that my theory is not applicable as much now as it used to be when astrological charts became popular. Modern life evens out the seasons quite a bit.
But your academic might mention his/her star sign simply as a way of impressing someone else who he/she thought would ,or might be, impressed by it or could start an interesting conversation about it.
What motive could an academic, who had the seasons evened out a good deal in the formative years, have for mentioning his/her star sign?
*To distract the person with whom he/she is conversing while an accomplice picks their pocket
*To break an awkward silence
*To hint that his/ her companion has forgotten his/her birthday, and also the expected present
*To confuse everybody else on the A2K Trivia boards
Do you believe in fate?
Not at all. But I do believe there is a coincidence of stars and birth which creates different characters at different times of year, however unscientific that appears to be at first sight.
Do you believe that science should be determined by empirical evidence?
Obviously. Science might be said to be the knowledge gained through empirical evidence but not with that alone.
Are you having a good time?
I always do, as I am an Aquarian. Although I never read my horoscope.
Do you?
No. I don't even read any publications in which horrorscopes are printed.
Anything interesting on the stocks for tonight?
I don't understand what you mean so I can't say yes or no (and don't make me feel like I should do!).
Are you going to entertain me?
I might if you play your cards quickly and instinctively. Conscientiously even.
But there's my soak and the pub coming up next.
Do you like being entertained?
Love it. Could spend a life being entertained.
What do you find entertaining?
tapirs
Does anyone know where I might buy an island?
I'm sorry gus. I can't help you there. I don't know of any islands for sale but I can tell you that this one here would be extremely expensive.It has been cleared of tapirs you see and that's ultra groovy. It has Clarys and smorgies running around all over the place and there's no room for tapirs with them around.
Are tapirs not extinct yet?
Yes, I believe you can do so on eBay. I agree about tapirs.
Would you prefer a tropical island or a Scottish Hebridean style?
It would depend on what my objectives were.
Do either of them have ghost trains and dodgems and real seaside girls?
More likely the Scottish ones.
Are you mellow or irascible when you return from the pub?
