A Questionnaire, Part II: The Questioning

[Olli]

1) When was the last time you were at the ocean?

For the sake of this question, I'm assuming mere seas do not count. I think then it comes down to the time I was by the Atlantic Ocean in Portugal in '19.

2) Have you even seen an alligator in person?

No, I don't think so. I've seen crocodiles, though.

3) Would you ever want to fly a plane?

Maybe for a small while, as long as someone else would take care of takeoff and landing.

4) What part of your face do you like best?

My beard.

5) What is your favourite H. G. Wells novel?

The Island of Doctor Moreau

3) Which is your favourite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
4) Have you ever owned a robot?

2) Mercury
3) Either Michaelangelo or Raphael, depending on the interpretation
4) I guess I got one of those vacuum robots from my dad but I don't use it much
5) It's rainy but it's not too bad. Really, need it to help the earthy patches grow some grass.

 

[Olli]

1) Which actor, who hasn't yet, should play Hercules?

Jacob Elordi

2) What planet would you least like to be on right now?

Mercury sounds like a bad time

3) Which is your favourite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?

Don, because he gets more reach

4) Have you ever owned a robot?

You can try to own robots but no matter how sick your burns are, they just won't feel satisfying

5) Do you like the weather outside right now?

Yeah, it's pretty great

 

[LBD_Nytetrayn]

1) Which actor, who hasn't yet, should play Hercules?

Dave Bautista.

2) What planet would you least like to be on right now?

One of the gas ones. Or the ones too cold to sustain life.

Actually, pending the discovery of any other suitable planets, I'm pretty good right here at the moment, as much as I hate to say it.

3) Which is your favourite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?

Depends on the version.

'87: Mikey
Adventures: Raph
2K3: Leo
Rise: Don

And in 2K12, I like Splinter more than any of them.

4) Have you ever owned a robot?

You're going to have to be specific, or otherwise: Do you even know me?

5) Do you like the weather outside right now?

Seems nice enough. Too bad I won't get to enjoy it today. If anything, it'll probably actually be a hindrance when I go to bed this after-- huh, just as I started typing that, the light from outside dim-- and there it goes again. Never mind.

 

[Exposition Owl]

1) Which actor, who hasn't yet, should play Hercules?
Nathan Fillion.

2) What planet would you least like to be on right now?
Venus, no question. It’s deeply ironic that the planet synonymous with glory and beauty in all kinds of human cultures is such a hellworld.

3) Which is your favourite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
I always liked Leonardo best, because he was the most serious and responsible one. I’m boring.

4) Have you ever owned a robot?
No, which isn’t a bad thing in my mind. Having a robot around would probably make me socially anxious.

5) Do you like the weather outside right now?
I do! Where I used to live in New Jersey, May was basically a summer month. I’m glad to be getting some actual spring.

4) Which is your favourite Stephen King short story?
5) What toy line do you think is underrated?

4) The Jaunt is still creepy and sad
5) I still have a soft spot for the cheap but collectable Z-Bots

 

[Daikaiju]

1) What's the name of your dog(s), if applicable?
I had a dog once, named Mr. T
2) Which dinosaur could you take in a fight?
Microraptor as well
3) When is the last time you changed a tire?
On a full sized car? Never.
4) Which is your favourite Stephen King short story?
None. Not a horror fan
5) What toy line do you think is underrated?
Robotix. Would love a reboot.

 

[Johnny Unusual]

4) Which is your favourite Stephen King short story?
None. Not a horror fan

I mean, it obviously won't change your answer but he's actually written plenty of non-horror (character dramas, sci-fi). Too long for a short story but The Body (which became the film Stand By Me) and Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption are pretty good.

 

[Daikaiju]

Shawshank Redemption

Oh right, forgot that was his. That one then.

 

[LBD_Nytetrayn]

1) What's the name of your dog(s), if applicable?

Don't have any. Had one living with my parents, and they got another after she died, though she was more theirs, I think.

Baby and Lady, respectively. Didn't name either. Those were the names they had when we got them.

2) Which dinosaur could you take in a fight?

My wife is more of a dinosaur expert than I am. She says velociraptor if I kicked it. I asked about it tearing up my legs, but she says not if I kick it first.

3) When is the last time you changed a tire?

Honestly, I don't think I ever have.

4) Which is your favourite Stephen King short story?

Not sure; I don't think I have one. Never read King's stuff, and of the movies I've seen and liked, they apparently do not fit the "short" criteria.

5) What toy line do you think is underrated?

Late '80s He-Man. Not the end of Masters of the Universe, but the one called simply "He-Man".

3) What science fiction writer do you think deserves more attention?

Risto Isomäki

4) How long ago did you come up with your username?

I'm bad at coming up with usernames so it's just my first name

5) Who is your favourite DC Comics character?

John Constantine

 

[Kirin]

4) How long ago did you come up with your username?

Had to pop in for this one, because Christ on a cracker, it was almost 32 years ago.

 

[LBD_Nytetrayn]

1) What was the last magazine you've purchased?

Hm, not sure off the top of my head. Does a MAGfest program count?

2) How often do you work out?

I try to walk every day, give or take, but I've been sick the last week.

3) What science fiction writer do you think deserves more attention?

I'd have to think on that one.

Around 28-ish years ago?

No, not that one.

1990...ish?
5) Who is your favourite DC Comics character?
Captain Marvel. I will not call him Shazam.

 

[Kirin]

1990...ish?

Ooh, you got me beat by a few years. In 1990 I was Bahamut (or sometimes "B/\|-|/\|\/|\/T" because we were all al little too 1337 for our own good in that era). Glad I swapped it, though, Kirin's a much more name-y esper, works in more contexts.

 

[LBD_Nytetrayn]

1) What was the last magazine you've purchased?
Nintendo Force

Woo!

5) Who is your favourite DC Comics character?

1) The Mad Magazine DC Comics Special
2) About 6 days a week
3) I can't think of plain prose but for comics Zander Cannon. Highly recommend KaijuMax but warning; it's darker than it's wacky premise. It's Oz with Kaiju and ALL that entails...
4) Probably in 2000
5) Boring answer but Superman. People seem to think he's dull but I think the good stories are about how difficult it can be to be a good person.
