Things I loved about the Murder Drones Finale: Part 3

Spoilers, obviously

The secret handshake during the boss fight was great, (V did not want to be a part of that.)

Uzi predicting Cyn’s teleport was genius.

The way she created a black hole like you’d detonate a grenade.

She blasted a hole through the whole planet and used the sunlight to melt Cyn’s heart. Incredible.

Cyn’s face when Uzi swallowed the solver core.

Thad’s skateboarding move and Lizzy taking a selfie after almost dying. What a duo.

Nori definitely passed down her awkward tsundere energy to Uzi.

Khan’s kinda freaky, and the teacher just climbed back down instead of dealing with it.

A sentinel driving a bus wasn’t on my bingo card, but okay.

Not my personal ship, but Envuzi shippers ate well with this. “Weirdly hot robots”, and this reunion scene. Perfect.

Uzi absorbed an Eldritch entity, and her first instinct is “oh this makes me so much edgier now” is hilarious.

Callback to the pilot episode.

“Get tunnel vision on spooky robot corpse reveal and work backwards from there.” An accurate description of the writing process.

That teacher’s gonna lose it.

“That’s my girlfriend!” WE FUCKING WON!

Also Lizzy and V might be a thing? If so, good for them.

N knows how to draw manga now.

J’s rebuilding her ship. Maybe she’s running away to the dog planet, IDK.

Doll’s funeral was so funny. “Babe-a-tron Queenthousand?” Lizzy please. But at least we got to see them in their prom outfits again.

“It should have been Rachel.” TF did Rachel do?

Also Thad’s pose, lol.

Khan and Nori did properly reunite, and N finally got to play that game of Gin Rummy.

Finally, it seems the solver’s consciousness is still alive in Uzi, but she’s got it under control at least. So good for her.

(Murder Drones Episode 8 spoilers!)

Space. The final frontier.

Poor robo-roaches always getting tossed around and killed.

They just left Braiden and Rebecca's corpses there??

Honestly the Teacher is such a mood, I can't believe I never realized it before.

Solvedcalculus reference???

Nori you can't say that this is a Christian Minecraft server.

It's amazing how they're able to make her still convey emotions when she's only got one eye.

YES HE SAVED HER BUT ALSO WOW THAT WAS FAST

Well she did tell you to "Die Mad" about it, so...

Kiss. Kiss! KISS! KISS!! KISS!!! KISS!!!! KISS!!!!!

New cute date idea: Skydiving from space and burning up in the atmosphere together <3

THEY ARE DATING THEY ARE CANONICALLY DATING!!!!!!!!!!

Why no kiss tho :(

Dang it, that was Thad's only good pipe.

V IS ALIVE AND SHE RODE IN ON A SENTINEL I THOUGHT WE WERE JUST JOKING ABOUT THAT

AND IT HAS A LITTLE COWBOY HAT

SHE WAS LIZZY'S SECRET FRIEND AND SHE DID THAT ONE MEME

No!! Bad dingo!!! We do not eat our friends!!!

IT'S DOING THE WALL-E FIRE EXTINGUISHER THING

So did J know the whole time or was she kept in the dark at first and only recently found out? Not entirely clear on that.

You really think it's not gonna dispose of you once all the universe is dead?

V SAID BITE ME

I was fully expecting her to chuck N into the core for a second there. But TBH I don't think continuing to destroy the planet is gonna fix it.

THEY'RE SO CRINGE IN A COOL WAY I LOVE THESE STUPID DORKS

THE CAPTIONS SAY SOLVER CONFIRMED THAT IS NOT CYN

"Okey."

STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP

Y'know J thinks pretty highly of herself for someone who's literally never killed a single person on-screen in the entire time that this show has existed.

Huh, I guess those theories about Uzi not having a core icon were wrong.

You get a panic attack! You get a panic attack! EVERYBODY GETS A PANIC ATTACK!

Wait which part of this is the trap?

FREAKIN EXCUSE YOU DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I JUST TOLD NORI THIS IS A CHRISTIAN MINECRAFT SERVER THERE WILL BE NO SWEARING

Uzi is not beating the bisexual allegations.

SHE IS CANONICALLY CRINGE AND FREE

Nori I don't think most people call their daughters "babe."

"...'Kay."

Playing Nightcore during a final battle is the most anime thing ever.

And the J abuse continues.

*teleports behind you* Nothin personnel, kid.

Okay bye J, thanks for literally nothing.

SECRET HANDSHAKE N YOU'RE SUCH A DORK

o7

THEY'RE SO STUPID I LOVE THEM

YOU STOPPED TIME???

SHE LITERALLY ATE A BLACK HOLE???

😦

Thad is confirmed the coolest dude on Copper 9.

Sorry y'all, Khori divorce real.

Man Teacher don't wanna deal with none of this, same TBH.

Everybody gangsta til the cowboy robot dinosaurs start driving buses

THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH!!!!!

Nah you're not damaged you're just autistic and edgy.

Polyclue shippers low-key getting fed tho.

HE'S BEING SUPPORTIVE AND TEACHER STILL DON'T WANNA DEAL WITH THIS

HE CALLED HER HIS GIRLFRIEND!!!!!!!!!!

My heart goes out to all the Doll fans, y'all got done dirty. 😔

He's learning how to draw anime!!! His art is getting so good!!!

He finally got to play rummy with the WDF!

They're gonna passionately make love on that bed later.

Wow what did Rachel ever do to you. Also who's Rachel.

THE NUZI-VIZZY DOUBLE DATE FEATURING DINGO AS THE FIFTH WHEEL

THAT'S THE REAL CYN YOU CAN'T CONVINCE ME THAT ISN'T THE REAL CYN FINALLY FREE OF THE SOLVER AND LIVING IN UZI'S TAIL UNTIL THEY CAN MAKE A NEW BODY FOR HER

IN YOUR FACE EVERYBODY WHO SAID LIAM DOESN'T LIKE HAPPY ENDINGS!!!!

[roseofhybrids]

I can't recall if I ever went on a ramble about a MD head canon I have (I feel like I have, but maybe I've just thought about it so often that I've convinced myself I've made a post about it. Either way, let us endulge in the fixation)

it's about the worker drones' simultaneous crippling fear of the disassembly drones and general indifference to death.

Here's a cut because this ended up way longer than I thought it would-

Just about every worker drone is terrified of the murder drones (reasonably so, as they can peel one of them open like a mechanical orange) and yet in spite of this, they show a blatant disregard for safety once the sky demons are out of sight.

First two times we see something like this happen is when Khan lets Uzi go outside at night to "look at the door hydraulics" and later when the WDF guard corrects N on the name gin rummy instead of running for his life. Now, maybe Khan was too excited about Uzi showing an interest in doors to think about the potential danger, and maybe worker drones are big dumb dumbs most of the time.

But then you have situations like in the promening and cabin fever where groups of drones will initially show fear before quickly relaxing around the murder machines. They go from shaking in fear after watching one of their classmates being shot to offering friendship and poking one of them in the face in mere minutes.

So, why do they go from terrified to unbothered so fast.

Well, we know the drones on Copper 9 were mostly used for mining, a dangerous job that can have deadly accidents even when human safety standards are in place. So, JCJenson has to program these drones to dig up the ore, carry it to the surface, process it, et cetera. Building and repairing robots costs money, so ideally you'd want to minimize them getting damaged in the most cost-effective way possible. Safety measures decrease production and safety equipment costs money, so what are they to do?

My head canon/theory is that they programmed the drones to avoid situations that will damage themselves. Something to stop them from walking into pits and sticking their heads between moving gears. So if a drone sees another drone get broken by something, they're programmed to avoid the thing that lead to their buddy getting killed. See another drone get crushed by a rock? Avoid loose boulders. See another drone fall into a smelter? Avoid moving along the edge of the catwalk. And so on and so forth.

But you don't want them to be too careful. After all, if you program them with too much anxiety they'll be too scared to work, which will decrease production. So they also programmed them to proceed if they see that there's no immediate danger. Sure, three drones fell into a sinkhole in this area last month, but Steve's standing over there and not falling into the ground, so it must be safe. With this, also comes an explanation for their indifference to death, even when it happens to friends or family. If a drone grieves losing a coworker, then they won't work as well. So once the initial fear of seeing another being breaking passes, they move on and get back to setting off explosions (standing a few extra feet away this time).

Going back to the scenes from The Prommening and Cabin Fever-

The crowd is initially scared of V when she drops in. But when Lizzy explains that they're friends and insists that they "forgive and forget" they go right to clapping and cheering. As soon as the known threat proves to be safe, the fear switches off.

Cabin Fever is an even better example. They've all just watched V shoot another drone. N acts very friendly, but they remain afraid. That is, until Lizzy and Thad move to stand next to the two murder drones. They see the two not die by doing this, and immediately the entire group relaxes and are soon treating N and V as though they're just your run-of-the-mill drone. The worker teens only show fear again when they do something that could threaten them. Such as at the archery range when V points the bow at them.

They show similar behavior around Uzi that episode as well. When ever her presence is brought to their attention, there's visible fear. This makes sense with her past behavior in mind. Railgun exploding in class, taking over classmate's sentience, general violence. She's proven to be a potential danger, and so they're afraid when first seeing her. When she doesn't immediately do anything to harm another drone, they soon calm down to the point that they forget she even exists. She makes herself known when the bus arrives at camp Fear till their attention is drawn to the teacher and then the murder drones She shows up at the archery range and arrow into a flesh beast Fear until she runs away, name then forgotten She rips a drone's head off and pauses for dramatic effect In those few seconds of not killing her, Lizzy switches from afraid to criticizing her

It's like once the "threat" is resolved, their brains determine she isn't worth focusing on to the point of the drones forgetting her name. (In particular, Lizzy is really unbothered by almost getting killed in that episode. Possibly because she's been spending time with V? A sort of desensitization)

After all, if another drone isn't a danger, and they aren't working alongside them (not in the same mining team, not in the same clique) it isn't worth it to have info on them and tosses it to the recycling bin.

We see the solver drones and disassembly drones break this line of behavior. Along with Khan, Thad, and Lizzy to an extent. (Which, in all fairness, could just be main character privileges)

Khan of course shows to still care about Nori's death years after the fact, as well as concern about Uzi leaving at the end of the pilot. I think it's worth noting how the other WDF members in episode 2 react to him prioritizing Uzi over building a door. Calling the idea "cringe" and displaying general annoyance and sickness at the idea. Is it just because it's Khan and Uzi, or do drones just see anyone putting family over work as strange?

Thad isn't afraid of Uzi and doesn't have a negative view of her like the other teenage drones. Has he not witnessed her "shenanigans" or is he just braver and kinder than most drones? He isn't afraid of N in episode 2, but, as he says himself, N helped save his life. He also shows some concern for other drones dying when he mentions the disappearances to Uzi in Heartbeat.

Lizzy has also shown to be braver than most drones. Little fear around Uzi, was able to hang around with V long enough to set up the prom scheme, helped Doll set up said prom scheme despite Doll doing a bunch of murdering, willingness to just walk up to J and trying to punch her. Her being around V and Doll would suggest she doesn't have the same concern about other drones dying the way Thad does. But that could just be her putting up a front. Perhaps we'll get to see a little more in episode 8.

Hope anyone who read through all this found at least some enjoyment in doing so. I thought this would be, like, 3 short paragraphs tops, but now there's a little over 1200 words.

SITS UP AC6 AU IDEA: ROBOT WARS BUT WITH MTS.

Okay, tl'dr imagining there being a big fucking underground scene where people with souped up MTs brawl in an arena for prize money and fame. No guns are allowed, only melee weaponry, but there are so many loopholes and grey areas that it usually boils down to: did it look cool? Yes? Then it's allowed.

In this AU the Coral was successfully destroyed after the first Fires - or it has a much longer dormacy period that the PCA believed it to be completely destroyed, and drew down its presence on Rubicon to just an observation platform in orbit with a supporting fleet. It otherwise doesn't give a shit to what the Rubiconians do, so they're largely left alone on the surface.

But it's not necessarily a good thing for the Rubiconians. They haven't liberated their planet, as the PCA just have a distant ownership over it, but without any PCA bases on the surface their pickings are slim when it comes to raiding locations for needed supplies (as the climate is still thoroughly fucked and their attempts at establishing successful sources of food are slow going). With some of Flatwell's connections to some smugglers that come by Rubicon on occasion, Flatwell, Rusty and Ziyi end up going to Tau Ceti, where he knows they can make some cash and funnel back resources to Rubicon.

(The PCA allows this bc they know that the Rubiconians will just be able to survive at best, and they're not afraid to go down there and "prune" any efforts they make to step above that, but anyways)

tl;dr Rusty makes a name for himself as an MT Brawler of some skill, and is a fave to win on nearly every tournament he joins. All the money he makes though goes back home, and he only keeps that what he needs to maintain his MT and pay for food and board.

Then one day, after entering a tournament that had a big enough prize money to entice him into joining, he runs across a complete unknown: a pilot going by "621" who's sponsored by an old MT Brawler champion, Walter. Walter is a big name in the MT Brawling scene, but he retired bc of injury a few decades back, but he's made a comeback now with a 'protégé' of sorts, and after a long battle that's veeeeeeeeeery close, Rusty loses the fight to 621.

He's kinda sour about it, but mostly curious, bc 621 literally popped out of nowhere, and he's only heard about Walter in passing...

that's as far as my idea got but it's gripped me... just imagining MT Wars... the crazy souped up MTs people would build. So many chainsaws. Invincible Rummy would thrive there. Hmm, what kind of souped up MT would Rusty have though, that is the question...

How The World Works

The world will teach you alot of things nobody in their right mind would want to learn, and it will go way out of it's way to prevent you from learning the things you should really want to know.

To learn the important stuff, you have to take a gamble on some guy on the web ranting into the void.

So this is an example of how the world works.

Rummy lets slip the military misplaced trillions of dollars, BOOM, government accounting office blows up, evidence destroyed, BOOM, other government accounting office blows up, but nobody talks about the accounting offices, they talk about Muslims on the other side of the planet, chaos ensues, weapons of mass distraction, sheep start bleating, sock puppets, Lambchop, social media alter the trends, censorship, manipulation, coercion, if you don't do XYZ you are a terrorist and everyone hates you, big brother loves you, cattle get steered into pens, articles disappear, people disappear, black sites, torture, slow-burn soft-kill depopulation, keep calm and carry on, all's quiet on the farm again, pay your taxes, three bags full.

I'll presume that makes no sense to most people, but I'm not giving any of you any fucks, because most people on Tumblr masturbate to cartoon animals. Fuck you all and the fascist bastards who brainwashed you.

I swear everyone in corporate media should be summarily executed for running slavery rings.

Politics is basically the same thing as corporate media, but less frantic, because it's antiquated, originally designed to operate on country time. A country minute can be a few seconds or a few days.

Education is the same thing but more obviously sex slavery. Teachers molest more kids than even politicians or priests. Did you think schools have communal showers because government cares about public hygiene? Then why communal showers for kids but not the homeless? Because nobody wants to fuck the homeless.

Employment is the same thing but more obviously sex slavery. Everyone wants to be an actor and everyone knows what happens to actors. You may think jobs are supposed to accomplish things, but you're wrong, you're all given jobs to prevent you from doing anything important. Employers are baby-sitters, and sexual predators, same as education, politics, and corporate media. Humans are horrible creatures who treat eachother very badly.

Your life is a lie. You are a chump. You were created by a hyper-redundant system of slavery that drugged you into stupidity even before you were born. You were a slave since Day 1 in the womb. Your mother was raised on GMO. You have no idea how to be human. You don't know how to eat, you barely know how to breathe. You were raised like like a robot. Your food is a science experiment. Your education is a science experiment. Your entertainment is a science experiment. Project Paperclip. Operation Mockingbird. Echelon. Stellar Wind. The End.

You may now resume masturbating to cartoon animals.

So I’m obsessing over Squid Games like many are at the moment and the whole “Squid Games in America” thing got me thinking of games they could use. This is mostly just so I can voice my ramblings to people that don’t have the power to put me in therapy.

The obvious ones are Tag and Hide-and-Seek. They would be timed games and if you’re tagged or found you get killed off because you lost. This does require a guard to participate or maybe a robot that’s normal human size so that definitely makes them harder to do but they could probably do it if they try hard enough. Same goes for Sharks-and-Minnows and Bulldog. Both are similar enough they wouldn’t be done in the same year.

Capture the Flag and Dodgeball are other classics that they could do. If you get captured by the other team you die and obviously which ever team wins lives. Dodgeball would definitely be a good replacement for Red-Light-Green-Light as the starting game and Capture the Flag could replace the Tug-of-War.

Jacks is kinda like the Marble game for obvious reasons. Simon Says is simple, you fuck up you die with a time limit. Another one is BattleShip, not sure who else played this in gym but it’s a team game with a wall between the teams the goal is to hit the other teams players with out seeing them by throwing a ball over the wall and it ends when a team is fully eliminated.

Shoots-and-Ladders (or Snakes-and-Ladders) would work kinda like the Glass Bridge, you wouldn’t know where the shoot is until it’s too late. It would be timed if, you’re not at the top when time runs out you die. Shoots could lead to death or simply just another level depending on how high risk you think they’d make it.

The final game should be Double Dutch or Musical Chairs. Nice elimination style games, last man standing wins. Twister or Spoons would work too. Monopoly or Uno could work, but I think they would end in physical violence. Or Four Square to get it down to play Jenga, Rummicub, or Rummy. Maybe even Hot Patato. Connect Four determining the winner if it gets down to two.

As much as I love Heads-Up-Seven-Up I’m not entirely sure how it would work in this setting, however you’d probably die if you got it wrong up. Mao is entertaining to watch but would never work, but I’ve seen it end friendships so it can end lives. Thumb War and Arm Wrestling aren’t “entertaining” enough it be anything but mini games. Telephone would have to be a mini game, same for Leapfrog. Never-have-I-ever could work.

Patty Cake and Say-say-my-playmate don’t have winners unfortunately but Red Hands/Slapsie technically does and would be the recruitment game. Cat’s Cradle or Hangman instead of Dalgona. Pass the Ring first team done lives. Twister would be hell. Charades and Pictionary as team games. The guards are just former customer service employees with guns. Those cup and string telephones are the only way the guards can communicate and they all hate it.

This isn’t even touching on actual sports and I’m ignoring most board games and card games because there are too many.

[some27-url]

Ate some ice cream and it was great! Then I made oatmeal and a coffee with real sugar instead of the sf stuff I usually use and it all went OK except it was too much to fit in my stomach at once (bc pregnancy sucks) and also I keep forgetting to take my morning pepcid so now my rummy hurts and I barely even ate anything. So I laid back down. 🙃

My son has found a show on Netflix that has him absolutely enamored about a girl and her dollhouse and there are kittens and robots and robot kittens everywhere. It's some of his favorite stuff.

Keep having dream in which I kill people. Like, bad people. Couple days ago I had a dream that I killed my best friend from school's abusive ex boyfriend who had once pointed a shotgun at her. Strangled!

Last night I dreamt that I was in prison with someone who I will not name bc I don't want my posy being flagged but whose name rhymes with Ronald Stump and I beat the shit out of him and then strangled him too! Lamala was also there and I killed her too for some reason.

Having pain in so many places lately I can't hardly do anything but lay around and sleep. Planted my kid in front of the TV almost 4 hours ago and then had dreams where I woke up on the couch and got up and went and ate and then I woke up on the couch again. Couldn't get my eyes open. Struggled to sat up. Made it to the kitchen. Opened the fridge. Realized I was still trapped on the couch. Over and over until I finally did wake up for real. Didn't get up. Still haven't eaten yet today. Am I really awake? I think so.

Couldn't eat anything yesterday. Nothing sounded good. Couldn't have any caffeine. It all sounded like it would make me sick. My husband was home and really understanding though. I appreciated that. Eventually decided that I could eat salmon. It was OK.

I was watching a video yesterday that usually wouldn't affect me much, it had to do with a military family and how they tried to stay emotionally connected to their dad overseas. I was completely fine until I suddenly burst into tears.

I think I could eat ice cream right now?

I hope I don't fall asleep again before I eat.

Glad my son knows how to work the TV.

"You’re okay, you’re okay." (Roguey comforting Renee after a nightmare or after something scary happened ;u;)

Renée was like her Mama in a lot of ways, even if they weren't related by blood. They had very distinct accents, got defensive fairly easily, loved acoustic covers, and, most notably, they really weren't afraid of much. So if Renée Michele was sobbing and shaking like she was, especially at the age of ten (when she and her peers were hellbent on being tough X-Men) something awful had happened.

"H-he had me, he hurt me..." She was sitting in her Mama's lap, curled up and trembling like a newborn pup. Anna Marie had been the second one in the room, but she was the only one who could pick up Renée, whose skin had been crackling with electricity. Hestia had to fight to keep Stitch under, and she was almost shaking as much as her daughter. She checked the window and the closet just to make sure nothing was lurking, then assured everyone in the hall that things were being handled, all while holding back tears. Remy had taken a seat by his little girl as soon as her powers had come under control. He held her hand, and he couldn't help but remember how small it'd been when she was born. Hestia finally sat next to him. They both looked as if they'd aged ten years.

"Who did, petite?" Remy asked softly, thinking he could make whatever monster she'd dreamed up seem silly. She wasn't old enough to go on missions, and her parents had been careful not to let any strangers see her mutated eyes, for fear they might be anti-mutant.

Renée had kept her eyes shut tight ever since her parents had turned the lights on. But when her Daddy spoke to her, she opened them, red irises looking into the same.

"De vampire man."

All three adults traded glances before turning their attention back to Renée. Except for that time Wade had been left with her (long story; would not be happening again), they really were careful to restrict what she was exposed to. What could she have seen that resembled a murderous vampire?

"What--uh, what was he doing, hm?" Hestia asked. Renée shivered and tried to curl up even tighter. Her Mommy immediately regretted speaking.

"H-he put wires in me, n' he kept pokin' at me..."

"Wires, like in a robot?" She shook her head.

"Like n' a hospital." Remy's jaw clenched. He made sure he wasn't holding onto anything he could charge up.

"She's talkin' about Sinister," he hissed, only calming down when he saw that he was scaring Renée. Hestia wiped her own tears away. Sinister had had one of his minions take their daughter only two years after she was born. According to what the rest of the team found in his lab, Sinister was curious to see what the child of a symbiote's host could do. He also had a sick fascination with Remy. The three parents still felt like they had failed Renée since Sinister had escaped. He was out there somewhere. They couldn't lie and say he was dead, just for him to show up again.

It was amazing and horrible that their daughter even remembered him at all.

"We are always going to be here for you. Even if things get scary, we will never let anyone take you away," Hestia managed, holding back a sob.

"Promise?" She got nods and weak smiles in response.

"You wanna come sleep wit' us?" Renée was about to turn her daddy down, to lie and say that she wasn't really that scared--"We'll play cards firs'. I got a new game t'show ya."

"Really?" She sniffled and tried to make herself presentable in the way that only a spunky ten-year-old could, scrambling out of her mama's arms so she could stand up. "Y'sure it's new? 'Cause ya taught me gin rummy yesterday," she reminded Remy. He just chuckled, leaning in to kiss her forehead before he pulled her into a quick hug.

"Yeah! Ya t'ink I got ya' somethin. C'mon, girl." And so Remy led Renée to the big bed in the next room.

5,000 questions survey series--part forty-one

3901. What is the most annoying tv ad? Most of them are. I pretty much just tune ‘em out, but they sometimes sneak their way in anyway. 3902. If you died, how would you hope others would remember you? I mean, in a positive way of course. 3903. Name 2 questions that you will most likely never say 'no' to: 1. Do you want coffee? 2. Do you want to go on vacation? 3904. What is the softest part of your body? I mean, most of it is except for my hands. 3905. What family do you want to see in place of the Osbournes when they finally stop doing their show? I can’t get over how old this survey really is wow. This show aired from 2002 to 2005. :O Anyway, the next big family of reality TV was obviously the Kardashians. They’ve been on since like 2008/2009.

3906. If you could pick 3 bands to go on tour together who would they be? Linkin Park, Coldplay, and The Foo Fighters.  3907. What is a main differance between western and eastern philospohy? Uhh. 3908. Would you be fooled by Joe/Josephine Millionaire? I never watched the show, but I know the premise. The women thought they were on a dating competition show dating this millionaire guy, but turns out wasn’t a millionaire at all and was just some average Joe (literally). At the end he makes his choice and then comes clean about the whole thing. Anyway, to answer the question, I would never go on a show like this or ever date a guy for his money, but hypothetically speaking I suppose I probably would be fooled by it because they did all this outlandish things on the show and he seemed to really have money. I wouldn’t have a reason to think it was all a lie  (though obviously it was). 

3909. Do you believe Michael Jackson does innoprpriate things at his Neverland Ranch? Like what? This was highly talked about and brought to light again earlier this year and based on the documentary, he did in fact do inappropriate things at his Neverland Ranch. A lot of inappropriate things. 3910. What do you think of gov. Ryan who cleared out Illinois' death row? I know nothing about that. 3911. Would you want a $500 gift certificate to: Kmart or Target? Macy's or Hot Topic? Border's Books or Spencer Gifts? (Sadly, Borders no longer exists) Victoria's Secret or Frederick's of Hollywood? 3912. What do you think of this website: www.blackpeopleloveus.com/ I’ve never heard of it and I don’t feel like checking it out.  3913. Man vs Elephant. A zookeeper was treating a constipated elephant. He gave her too much laxitive. Suddenly everything exploded out onto the zookeeper. He was knocked to the ground where he hit his head on a rock and got knocked out. There he suffocated under a pile of elephant dung. True story. Is it a funy story? No, I never find a person’s death funny. If yes, what is funny about it? Why is it so taboo to laugh at death? Because it’s a very sensitive subject and just not something to laugh about, regardless of who it is or what the circumstances are.  3914. What are your favorite five things from this list: alternate realities, animals, astronomy, birds, camus, cats, cheap trick, cocaine, cooking, costumes, dancing, elvis, gambling, greta garbo, james dean, jeff buckley, joy division, marilyn monroe, mixed drinks, moody blues, morrissey, mozart, my bloody valentine, orbital, pizza, playing flute, prince, radiohead, rummy 500, scrabble, table tennis, talk talk, van morrison, writing 

^^^ Only 4 things but oh well. 3915. Do you have to read lots to be able to write well? No? I mean, it definitely helps, sure, but you can still be a great writer without having read a lot. 3916. Vanilla ice. Everyone loved him, suddenly everyone hated him. What was the deal?? I forget what the issue was. 3917. If you could kick one person out of the grammies who would it be (Avril, Eminem, etc)? 3918. Studies have revealed that when sending out a resume a person has a 50% higher chance of getting a responce if their name is white sounding than if it is black sounding. What do you think about this? Why do companies respond this way? 3919. Should Big Fat Greek Wedding really be a Big Fat Greek sitcom? I never had the interest in seeing the movie, so I wouldn’t have cared to see a sitcom either. I don’t remember if there was one or not. I feel like there was? 3920. What are you addicted to? Caffeine. And truthfully, after many years on my pain medication my body has become dependent.  3921. What fascinates you? Psychology. 3922. What is fascinating about you? Ha, nothing. I’m so boring. 3923. Personality wise, is anything the same for all human beings and if so, what? I don’t think so. 3924. What kind of a contest woud you have a shot at winning? A simple one where I just submit an entry in, ha. I’m not doing anything requiring more than that. 3925. You see a dirty punk kid who had a giant cowboy hat on who is rolling his own cigarettes. Your impression? I don’t care. 3926. What would you never want to have more than 2 of? Hmm. 3927. Is there a movie you just could not finish watching? What and why? Yeah, but of course I can’t think of an example right now.

No. I love the rain. 3935. 'The more you admit that all your actions are robotic, the less robotic you are.' What does Tim leary mean by this? Maybe because if you admit it then that means you’re conscious and aware.  Do you agree or disagree and why? How much of your actions do you admit are robotic? I feel like I live on autopilot. 3936. Are we not men? Uh, not all of us. 3937. Is it easy to be you? Would being someone else make it any easier? No, it definitely not easy for me and I can’t imagine why anyone would ever think it was. It’s not easy for anyone; though, despite what it might look like. Everyone has their struggles. 3938. Why are sex religion and politics such taboo subjects? Because people have very strong opinions about it and they’re just very sensitive topics. 3939. Is there really a differance between republicans and democrats? Yeah? 3940.

Can you guess which is which? Racist: socialist: slave trader: 3944. Betcha they didn't tell you that in american history.
