Okay, devs... the Pivot Questionnaire for you

This is what happens when I go on a bender watching INSIDE THE ACTORS STUDIO. What with Castle caring and sharing on the "The Devs Hate..." thread, it got me wondering how BAB, Positron, pohsyb, and the other developers would answer the following (the mods can answer too!):

*****

1. What is your favorite word?

2. What is your least favorite word?

3. What turns you on?

4. What turns you off?

5. What sound or noise do you love?

6. What sound or noise do you hate?

7. What is your favorite curse word?

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?

9. What profession would you not like to participate in?

10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

*****

Come on, rednames... take a few minutes and tell us something about yourselves!

(Abraxxus, no answering for BAB, even if you two DO share a brain. And Arcanaville, please don't mathematically compute Castle's answers!)

The following is for ME... not an answer of Respite's challenge.. I'll get to those in a bit..

1. What is your favorite word?

Time - It's my favorite because everyone is obsessed with it in all its various forms; yet it is an imaginary word. There is distance.. and there is motion... but on a physics standpoint.. there is no such thing as time.

2. What is your least favorite word?

A very derogatory term for a piece of female anatomy. I cringe every time I hear it and have (on several occassions) simply walked away from a conversation when I heard it uttered.

3. What turns you on?

Imagination. I live in a fantasy world most of the time. When I find someone who can meet me half way.. who Warps in the same direction I do so to speak... then I have finally reached Nerdvana.

4. What turns you off?

Ignorance. The ignorance of unreasoning prejudice. The ignorance of stubborness to the point of disassociation with reality. The ignorance of willful disbelief. The ignorance of expecting everyone to behave according to YOUR personal belief system.

5. What sound or noise do you love?

Laughter. Hands down. There is no greater sound.

6. What sound or noise do you hate?

Uncomfortable silence. Silence on its own is wonderful... but an Uncomfortable Silence is like trying to breathe with your head shrouded in plastic wrap.

7. What is your favorite curse word?

Flubba-Tawuggit. No joke. This was a curse word I created to censor myself around my kids. Now I use it all the time. Try it out sometime... It's a great way to turn a tense situation into an absurd one.

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?

Well.. I don't really HAVE a profession at the moment. What I would love to do is get my book published. Or the book I'm working on now. I suppose you COULD say writing is my profession... but I haven't gotten paid for it yet so technically I'm not a professional at it. I guess I still have my amateur status.

9. What profession would you not like to participate in?

Economist. I'm too much of an optimist.

10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

Come on in, we've been waiting for you.

Since it looks like we're all playing ...

Okay... So let's start with Positron (the hero, not the Dev)

After all these years in this danged suit? "Bath"

2. What is your least favorite word?

About 100 rads (think about it)

4. What turns you off?
Valkyrie's spear

5. What sound or noise do you love?
The Whoosh sound when they finally opened my armor for the first time after my cure. The lack of screaming from doctors not dying from radiation poisoning was nice too.

6. What sound or noise do you hate?
Rikti invasion sirens... for some reason that really grates on my nerves.. go figure.

7. What is your favorite curse word?
Meltdown... yeah.. it's kind of lame.. but I would PAY to get a recording of Burt Ward saying this... "Holy Meltdown Batman!" heh.

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Underwear model

9. What profession would you not like to participate in?
Anything where I have to put things in cans to "preserve" them. >shudders<

10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
Welcome Positron... and by the way.. Heaven is "Clothing Optional"

And again.. only this time we'll go with Manticore (once more.. the hero.. not the dev)

1. What is your favorite word?
It has been this one since the day I finally revealled to everyone that I'd been a spy rather than an actual turncoat... it's "Surprise!"

2. What is your least favorite word?
Headache. Every man in a relationship hates this word; but when you're married to a powerful psychic it takes on a WHOLE new meaning.

3. What turns you on?
Well.. this one time Swan wore this outfit... OUCH! Umm... I mean.. my wife... my lovely, lovely and oh-so-forgiving wife!

4. What turns you off?
Swan apparently.

5. What sound or noise do you love?
TWANG!

6. What sound or noise do you hate?
The sound of an arrow missing its target. Unless it hits Statesman by "accident"... then it's friggin' hilarious.

7. What is your favorite curse word?
Ambutmaneckmahali. It's not a real word.. but it sure gets some interesting looks from people when I say it.

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Long distance acupuncturist.

9. What profession would you not like to participate in?
Wretch's dermatologist.

10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
"Found out we didn't have a back entrance, huh?"

1. What is your favorite word?

Intrinsic. It took me forever to realise what it meant. Afterwards, it became one of my favourites.

2. What is your least favorite word?

Bleak. I misspelled it in a 5th grade spelling bee. I shall forever be in hate with this word.

3. What turns you on?

If you mean regarding the opposite sex, a high IQ and witty, intelligent humour. If you mean in general... perfectly equalised music played from advanced sound systems.

4. What turns you off?

If you mean regarding the opposite sex, an uncaring, gotta-be-popular attitude. If you mean in general... music on a P.O.S. sound system. I'm an audiophile.

5. What sound or noise do you love?

Well, in music, I really really like a bass solo. Not a bass line, like what Castle likes (which I take to mean the humming bass in songs like Hallowed Be Thy Name); bass solo. Like Cliff Burton's in Orion. I feel the bass is underexplored and has a highly variable and intense sound. If I were to learn an instrument, it would be a bass.

6. What sound or noise do you hate?

Snare drums (Lars.. just burn in hell) and shoddy production on albums.

7. What is your favorite curse word?

That's a toughy... hmm. Trying to think here. Gimme a minute. Dammit, why couldn't you come up with something easier?

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?

Bassist for a metal band.

9. What profession would you not like to participate in?

Law. Being thought of as a scum sucker is bad enough, but if you're a criminal attorney, you're stuck either putting potentially innocent people behind bars, or letting guilty ones go. I couldn't handle that on my conscience.

10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

Welcome to Heaven! Care to know the intimate secrets of the universe?

I'm just warming up... Hmm... Back Alley Brawler I think... (same old tired Hero not Dev crud)

1. What is your favorite word?
No... As in Just Say No... And not because I thought Nancy Reagan was a fine lady... though she was...

2. What is your least favorite word?
One.... cause One is the loneliest number there could ever be... Oh, and Galaxy City isn't among my favorites either... and let's not forget Atlas Friggin' Park..

3. What turns you on?
Halle Berry reprising her role as Cat Woman... no! Wait.. as Storm... no no no... BOTH! Storm and Cat Woman.. fighting over Back Alley Brawler... then they agree that such a man can not possibly be satisfied by only ONE woman... so then they.. um... er... what was the question again?

4. What turns you off?
Realizing half way through an answer that I'm saying my interior monologue out loud.

5. What sound or noise do you love?
Skulls cracking... Joints breaking... that solid beef sound of a fist crashing into muscle... it's all good brother... it's ALL good

6. What sound or noise do you hate?
Whining... I mean really.. take your beating like a man..

7. What is your favorite curse word?

Gummy Candy (Gummi worms, bears, fish etc...)

Pox as in a pox be upon you, kidding don't have one I like making non curse words become mean.

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Voice over acting (big fan of Frank Welker, Michael Bell and the late Chis Latta, known for the voices of Megatron [and countless others], Duke [and more], and Starscream respectively . I can do a sweet Starscream/Cobra Commander and a good Darkside/Dr. Claw and Chewie)

9. What profession would you not like to participate in?
Manually masturbating animals for artificial insemination.

Infinity. Sometimes it's the only one that fits.

2. What is your least favorite word?
Limitations.

3. What turns you on?
When the moon is at a certain angle to the equator the gravitational forces are high enough to cause pulses in the electromagnetic fields around the Earth, setting up a harmonic that causes subtle vibrations through the earth's crust.. to those sensitive enough to feel it.. it's like the whole planet is a vibrating bed and someone just slipped in a quarter.

4. What turns you off?
Plots that Nemesis THINKS he snuck past me.

10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
"Oh, hi! I've been keeping your seat warm for you."
