1. Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister, Bob Dylan - Fourth Time Around, Carole King - Will You Love Me Tomorrow?, Chico Buarque - Construcao, David Bowie - Rebel Rebel, Gal Costa - Baby, Interpol - Obstacle 1, Jens Lekman - Your Arms Around Me, Leonard Cohen - Master Song, Neutral Milk Hotel - ITAOTS, New Order - True Faith, The Cure - Lullaby, The National - Abel, The Tammys - Egyptian Shumba, Four Tops - Reach Out, TMBG - Ana Ng, Tom Waits - Hang Down Your Head, The Zombies - Hung Up on a Dream, The Kinks - Days
2. "What's broken can always be fixed / What's fixed will always be broken" - Jens Lekman
3. "Rodents of unusual size? I don't think they exist."
4. "Defeat Dycedarg's eldest brother"
5. Thai tea?
6. Peanut butter and chocolate tortillas?
7. Homemade spaghetti
8. Guile's Theme
9. I don't even like her comedy much, but I find Amy Schumer incredibly attractive
10. I don't think I am ever going to understand the appeal of metal. I get that a lot of it is musically complicated and the artists are usually great at their craft, but the entire aesthetic from folky metal to atmospheric stuff to speed metal is entirely lost on me and always has been. I would say it's because I'm not aggressive enough, but I know several people less active than I am who love metal, so I guess it's just one of those genres of music some are predisposed to like that others find totally inaccessible.

1. Forever (Kamelot)
2. A true, true friend helps a friend in need.
3. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
4. AH YOU OKAYH? BUSTAH WOLFR.
5. Have a Dr. Pepper.
6. Have a fresh chocolate chip cookie.
7. Shrimp scampi.
8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPjjnfGKrPc
9. Lots of people? I dunno, I have low standards.
10. Penguins are shit. They are asshole birds with very few redeeming qualities that live in a stupid part of the world that are vastly overrated because they are shaped like ovals.

1. What are some of your favorite songs of all time?

God of Wine by Third Eye Blind, Ruska by Apocalpytica, Hope Vol 2 by Apocalpytica. There are others but those jump to mind immediately.

2. Gimme a song lyric that has stuck with you.

"A star sign out of whack; a fradulent zodiac"

3. Now how about a movie quote?

"A smart man would stay inside." I'm butchering the quote, but it's from Nobody's Fool. Paul Newman's character says that to his son before getting out of the car and punching a cop in the nose for firing his gun at him.

4. Video game quote?

"Fear is a stupid emotion." Luca Blight. There are a lot of good quotes from games, but this one I like. Rejecting fear and going ahead with the unknown in life is an important thing. Of course in the case of Luca, it was a murderous psychopath rejecting his own imminent death but still!

5. Screw pop culture for a second. Make me a drink

Non boozy: Diet coke. I like the taste of this and it's my favorite drink. Sue me!

Boozy: Jack and Coke. I don't like mixed drinks a lot (prefer drinking liquor straight) but this is a classic for a reason.

God is Dead drink: Mexican Car Bomb. (Rum, Tequila, and Dark Mexican beer)

6. How about a dessert?

Cookies and cream ice cream.

7. In general, what's the tastiest thing you can personally cook, bake, or otherwise prepare?

Pasta? I'm a pretty simple cook but I can do that right. Can do chicken well as well.

8. You are now a pro-wrestler. What is your ring-music?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGkTom0g3sc Hell of a song. It has a strong hook and then just is a dead sprint the rest of the way.

9. Hate on something universally loved that you just don't -get- man. Add details

Video game: Valkyrie Profile. Gameplay is bad, story snippets aren't long enough and I loathe platforming in RPGs. Honorable mention to FF5 as well here.

Music: Zepplin. Fuck off, thanks.

TV: The Walking Dead. I should like this, but the pacing is awful.

Some cool questions.
K VSM. K.
I'll answer.

1) What are some of your favorite songs of all time?
Scanners - Control (Carpenter brut remix), damn
Todd Terje - Delorean Dynamite, the best music for your car

2) Gimme a song lyric that has stuck with you.
HARDER BETTER FASTER STRONGER
Actually works on me

3) Now how about a movie quote?
It always comes down to various quotes from Patrick Bateman like
" I'm on the verge of tears by the time we arrive at Espace, since I'm positive we won't have a decent table. But we do, and relief washes over me in an awesome wave."
I love this movie so much

4) Video game quote?
"They that remain grow weaker and weaker, an agony incomparable"
Not cool Valk

5) Screw pop culture for a second. Make me a drink
Mojitos are wonderful and I'm sure you haven't got one recently.

6) How about a dessert?
A rhubarb pie, if you ask nicely

7) In general, what's the tastiest thing you can personally cook, bake, or otherwise prepare?
Sushi. I make some once per week and it is awesome.

8) You are now a pro-wrestler. What is your ring-music?
AMADEUS AMADEUS. AMADEUS AMADEUS AMADEUS. AMADEUS AMADEUS AMADEUS. OH OH OH AMADEUS

9) Confess attraction to someone surprising.
Xavier Dolan in Tom at the farm. I don't like blondes.
Oh and I'm straight?

10) Hate on something universally loved that you just don't -get- man. Add details
Watching team based sports / MOBA esport. I have made efforts to watch both recently, going with an open mind etc. This is so mind numbingly repetitive and pointless, I don't get how anyone can get any enjoyment out of it.
Comic books. Art direction always seems to be awful, stories are sub-generic JRPGs power fantasies with questionable morals. Terrible. I never liked them even as a kid, though I did like superhero movies at one point.
Basically see the two topics below this one.

What are some of your favorite songs of all time? Everything by the following artists David Bowie, Long Blondes, Electric Six, Los Campesinos!, Murder By Death, Divinyls, Blondie and more than I can think of.

Gimme a song lyric that has stuck with you.

Quote

You said "send me stationary to make me horny"
So I always write you letters in multicolours
Decorating envelopes for foreplay
Damn extended metaphors, I get carried away
On the back of a natural disaster, fixed with parcel tape and with kids sticking plaster
Nothing says "I miss you" quite like war poetry you carved in your door with a Stanley knife

My year in lists
Stomping on your fingers as you're clinging on to the abyss
So put on every winter coat that you owned since '98
And every midnight sees the countdown to another awful day

I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
I cherish with fondness the day before I met you

On your request, I compile a list
Of my top five resolutions for this year (one!)
I declined 'cause I decided that I (two!)
Do not believe in the New Year any more (three!)
And you must confess that at times like these
Hopefulness is tantamount to hopelessness (four!)
And I accept that it's time for a change but not in places like this with people like these (five! five! five! five! five!)

Now how about a movie quote?

I wish you had more time. - Man on Fire.

Video game quote?

What can change the nature of a man.

Screw pop culture for a second. Make me a drink

One cup of piss coming right up.

How about a dessert?

Ice cream. Chocolate Honey Nougat

In general, what's the tastiest thing you can personally cook, bake, or otherwise prepare?

Buttscotch Finger Biscuits. They are pretty much butter and sugar.

You are now a pro-wrestler. What is your ring-music?

DMX-Men by DJ Nada One.

Tim Schaefer is pretty AND smart.

Ten is good for now.

1. Slip Out- Beck/Mongolian Chop Squad
One Life - The Pillows
Somebody to Love - Queen

2.
I don't give my heart to no one cause I don't want to waste my time
I try to love this loneliness to slip out of this lonesome hole.

Regrets taught me how to make any hard decision
Peace is always by my side, but I've never felt it once.

3. "Well, that's just like... your opinion, man."

4. "Just remember before we go through this door. You ate that stuff, Fei."

5. Get the hell out of my bar.

6. Root beer float. I guess fulfills the previous one too.

7. Not really sure. I really like the beef soup and spaghetti sauce I make. OMG comfort food

8. I Just Walked In (To See What Condition My Condition Is In) - Kenny Rodgers

9. Nothing's really coming to mind.

1. What are some of your favorite songs of all time?

H..uhhhhh. Um. I think I'm gonna pass.

2. Gimme a song lyric that has stuck with you.

Do you have the time to listen to me whine about nothing and everything all at once? I am one of those melodramatic fools; neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it.

3. Now how about a movie quote?

When someone asks you, if you're a god, you. Say. YES.

4. Video game quote?

Snow keeps falling, softly covering up everything in this world. Our mistakes. Our defilement. If only these things could be covered up so easily. What have we been doing, been pursuing, these past 500 years.

5. Screw pop culture for a second. Make me a drink

Man I need more info than that. I ain't going out and buying a bunch of shit for this, gotta know what you got in the house.

6. How about a dessert?

Mmmmm. I dunno, don't usually eat it left to my own devices. Tell me what you want and I'll spice it up. Actually...
02:08] <CmdrKing> Hey VSM. What do you want for dessert?
[02:11] <Aino> Tiramisu made the correct way, with Rum

Research tells me the 'correct' way to make it is with marasala wine, so we've spiced it some already. we'll want to double down on the coffee methinks, so we'll be adding Kahlua to our syrup after it's been coffee flavored. mmmm. Actually, hold up, we reduce the marscapone in the cream and add in pumpkin. Get some nutmeg, allspice, and ginger in the lady fingers. Pumpkin Pie Tiramisu. Internet in fact tells me this is a thing! They're also dirty cheaters that use packaged lady's fingers. Fuckers.
I have never made this but if it ever comes up remind me, I'll totally do it. Despite this being a rather bastardly order you jerk.

7. In general, what's the tastiest thing you can personally cook, bake, or otherwise prepare?

That's way too hard. So here's what I made for dinner tonight. Learned this pan cream sauce recipe year or so ago, so need to mix it up.
- 3-4 oz spiral noodles, prepared al dente
- 2-3 oz chicken, cubed and seasoned
- 1 pat butter
- 1 tsp chopped garlic
- 4 oz white wine (today's offering is a sweet white, which drank straight retained an amazing amount of grape flavor and comes recommended. Michigan Niagra from St. Julians)
- 4 oz heavy cream
- ~3 oz 4 cheese mexican blend (you can sub cheddar here, you get the idea)

I'm not sure if I've ever posted this preparation, it makes way more sense as an actual demonstration. Anyway, melt the butter and add garlic. Once you get a bit of sizzle, add chicken and cook until the surface is fully browned (a little pink inside is okay, there's a lot of cooking left.) Add wine, and reduce around half. Add the pasta, and reduce again until wine is mostly cooked off, then add the cream. Cook until the sauce mostly adheres to the noodles, about three minutes, then add the cheese and immediately remove from heat. Stir thoroughly and serve immediately.

8. You are now a pro-wrestler. What is your ring-music?

I think jsh won this one.

9. Confess attraction to someone surprising.

Mal Reynolds. This isn't odd, Nathan Fillion is quite bangable. But holy crap, you can see him in other stuff and he's, y'know, this good looking dude in a sort of early Harrison Ford way. But holy SHIT something about him AS Mal raises him like three points. I've never totally worked out how the character is so much hotter than the actor, but, DAMN.

10. Hate on something universally loved that you just don't -get- man. Add details

FLCL. Like, okay, yes, it's exceptionally well-animated. But what else does this damn show have going for it? It's madcap, but not really in an entertaining way: the lead girl just dicks over everyone repeated and not terribly entertainingly with no particular comeuppance. It's not really funny. There's not really any good character material. Oh no this shy bitchy girl wants to burn everything, amazing. So we're... like, watching some poor 12 year old pop puberty boners for two hours and... that's... one of the best anime ever... I guess? Seriously, nothing about this show entertained me in the slightest until epsidoe 5. of 6. And that was just the awful dad becoming so awful it got funny again. NAZI DAD WILL HUNT YOU IN THE PARK. The height of humor (in this show).

1. What are some of your favorite songs of all time?
I'm super behind on music because of grad school. I'm a sucker for whatever genre the Hotline Miami soundtracks are but don't know if any are among my favorite songs.

Merry Clayton - Gimme Shelter
St Vincent - Cruel
Aimee Mann - Labrador

New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle

2. Gimme a song lyric that has stuck with you.
"I'm out for presidents to represent me, I'm out for dead presidents to represent me."

3. Now how about a movie quote?
"Your knowledge of scientific biological transmogrification is only outmatched by your zest for kung-fu treachery!"
"Do kung-fu when he wants to, have sex when he please..."

4. Video game quote?
"Blame yourself or God."

I say this in real life.

5. Screw pop culture for a second. Make me a drink
Belgian beer, almost any.

6. How about a dessert?
Bread pudding, I am unable to avoid ordering this.

7. In general, what's the tastiest thing you can personally cook, bake, or otherwise prepare?
I'm pretty proud of my cooking abilities and can cook most Chinese dishes well but my comfort food is Malaysian curry since that's what my dad cooked growing up.

8. You are now a pro-wrestler. What is your ring-music?

9. Confess attraction to someone surprising.
Eh. Annie Clark/St Vincent? Janelle Monae even though she is apparently an android? I like female singers.

10. Hate on something universally loved that you just don't -get- man. Add details
I've found the Game of Thrones HBO show to be terminally boring, in part because up until now they've just been showing stuff from the books but now I think the story structure has gotten cheap and manipulative to the point where I don't care anymore, and I also think that's partly due to an oversaturation of people talking it to death recently. I haven't read the books in years, so maybe my reaction would have changed as I've grown but my attachment to the story is quickly fading.

Also Jennifer Lawrence. She's, like, okay, but I don't find her to be an especially great actress and I don't like her public persona.

jsh357 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 23, 2015, 06:02:51 PM »

I don't find Janelle monae attractive, but I do love her music and Oh, Maker is also my favorite of her songs.

Veryslightlymad · « **Reply #15 on:** September 24, 2015, 06:52:18 AM »

Enough people have probably posted where I can take a turn.

What are some of your favorite songs of all time?: Fiona Apple ~ Shadowboxer, Metallica ~ Bleeding Me, Donovan ~ Sunshine Superman, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds ~ Hold on to Yourself
Gimme a song lyric that has stuck with you.: They Tell me what they think, but they stink and I really don't care.
Now how about a movie quote?: I made this question, and I'm a film major, and I wracked my brain for hours (Not exaggeration. Restarting my Nuvigil will do that) and got nothing. At the end of the day, no movie quote has really.... changed me.
Video game quote?: "...but time flows like a river, and history repeats."
Screw pop culture for a second. Make me a drink: Two parts Whiskey to one part Vermouth. Bitters. Mix until chilled. Serve with no ice. Add cherry. Ruminate about where it went all wrong.
How about a dessert?: Scottish shortbread. Easiest thing in the world. Mix 6 cups sifted flour, 1 cup sugar, one pound of softened not melted butter. Like, REALLY mix it. Spread into flat pan. Press flat. Stick a bunch of holes in it with a fork or toothpick. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or so. Pull out. Cut into squares. Bake for 3 more minutes. That's it. That is all the steps.
In general, what's the tastiest thing you can personally cook, bake, or otherwise prepare?: There's a baked italian cheese penne pasta chicken dish I make, but I'm still working on the recipe.
You are now a pro-wrestler. What is your ring-music?: I have two, depending on my plot line. If I'm aggressive/heelish/proving something, then this version of a classic. (I prefer a different version, but this one is more aggressive). Pyrotechnics at 55 seconds.
Sometimes, though, you gotta interrupt someone else and appear from backstage with your music playing. I see myself as a weary-eyed grinder. Thus, I went with something that has a good "interrupt" beginning, but a very mellow, grind-it-out, about to school you, son, tone.
Confess attraction to someone surprising: This isn't meant to be "Confess to finding someone attractive no one would." This is "Confess to being attractive to someone your close friends probably wouldn't have been able to guess." Like, outside your usual "type". Me, I'm usually attracted to pixies. Tiny ladies with tiny bodies. figure skater or ballerina types. I think Lisa Leslie (and quite a few other WNBA players) is gorgeous, and you would have to try to find someone less "Pixie" like than her. Would it be weird for most people to find her attractive? Not at all. It's weird for me. It's against type.
Hate on something universally loved that you just don't -get- man. Add details: I don't like Star Wars. The older I get, the less I "get" Star Wars. I'm not even talking the prequels. The original trilogy. Every time I watch it, I just like it less and less. It's poorly acted, the setting is held together with chicken wire and tape. Every time something is added to the setting, instead of building on something great, it just seems to expose more and more flaws. I don't get it.
And it's not like it's a small phenominon. Oh no. It's fucking STAR WARS, man. It's like, the most pervasive pop culture film of them all. It's like I'm expected to like the thing, because I like all sorts of other fantasy or sci-fi settings. I don't. I don't get it. Star Wars. Fuck Star Wars, man. It's boring and cheesy.
Add Spaceballs to that list. It's just... it's parodying something that's... essentially parody anyhow. The dialogue is actually arguably better in the parody, and instead of making it funny, it just makes the whole thing sad. Star Wars is sad.

Well, that's my list. Sorry even I couldn't answer all of my questions. Quotes apparently don't stick with me. I worked on this for hours, on and off.

BIG OL' EDIT
The pasta and sauce part of my dish is ambitious. Right now I make a good Cajun chicken that I want to turn INTO a pasta dish. As is, you're probably better off adding Asparagus or something and serving as-is.

Songs? Blanking, come back later

Song lyric? ...

drink? Witch's tea - ordinary tea with lots of sugar to gum up digestion and absorb nutrients

dessert? Fresh pineapple

main dish? a chicken pasta that's based off some takeout I had once and liked enough to replicate

wrestler ring-music? Love-Colored Master Spark (Mess around with people's heads.)

Confess attraction to someone surprising. None of my attractions are surprising.

- How about entitlement mindset? "They should (insert whatever one chooses to whine about) because I want it this way." (often unsaid yet implied) When you get your own planet/universe, you can arrange things however you want. On this one you're a guest.

Peter Gabriel - More Than This
Yuki Kajiura - Canta Per Me
King Crimson - Fracture
Nier OST - Shadowlord
The Protomen - Light Up the Night
Queen - The Show Must Go On
Rush - Losing It

I couldn't even limit myself to ten

2 Gimme a song lyric that has stuck with you.

"Those who know what's best for us must rise and save us from ourselves." Rush, Witch Hunt

alternately: "Nothing he's got, he really needs--TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY SCHIZOID MAAAAAN"

3 Now how about a movie quote?

"Well damn you, you're taking my encyclopedias." -Royal Tenenbaum. This line regularly occurs to me when grappling with life's myriad minor inconveniences. Alternately, "They'll never catch me, 'cause I'm fuckin' innocent." I'm pretty sure I say this every time I run away from enemies in a game.

4 Video game quote?

Lenneth, about your performance...IT IS MAGNIFICENT

5 Screw pop culture for a second. Make me a drink

The most exciting thing I drink is lemonade. You're asking someone who's never had alcohol in his life, yeah?

6 How about a dessert?

Mint chip ice cream cake.

7 In general, what's the tastiest thing you can personally cook, bake, or otherwise prepare?

Milk on cereal.

8 You are now a pro-wrestler. What is your ring-music?

Gourry stole my immediate answer (for basically the same reason). That bastard.

9 Confess attraction to someone surprising.

This is difficult to answer, because being famous seems to be anathema to me actually finding someone attractive. Maude Lebowski? I like that hairstyle on women.

10 Hate on something universally loved that you just don't -get- man. Add details

~~Sand's overrated. It's just tiny rocks.~~ Nah, serious answer: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Pointless timesink that tries to sub in being over the top ridiculous all the time for actual style (I don't care about mecha in general, but I found the mech designs here to be severely ugly). If nothing else, it confirmed the general rule that the most hyped animes usually turn out to have nothing to offer me (see also: Eva, and to a lesser extent Madoka).

Definitely my favorite joke from that episode. When I saw it as a kid for the first time, I laughed for five straight minutes.

LCD Soundsystem - Home (Basically all of their songs, but to pick 1)

The Protomen - The Will of One
EDIT: Balance and Ruin - The Impresario

OK that's the last one promise

Yeah I could go on. I could barely limit myself to one song per album.

2 Gimme a song lyric that has stuck with you.

"What kind of man builds a machine to kill a girl?
No he did not use his hands. Like a smart man, he used a tool.
But just the same, can you question who's to blame?"
"What was her name?"
"It doesn't matter. Now, listen."

So much character in one goddamn stanza.

3 Now how about a movie quote?

Not a quote, but when Mad Max comes back to the war machine covered in blood without saying a word after murdering a bunch of fuckers off screen. So. Fucking. Good.

4 Video game quote?

EDIT: Warning: Dog Marriage.

5 Screw pop culture for a second. Make me a drink

Long Island Iced Tea, strong.

6 How about a dessert?

Long Island Iced Tea, not so strong.

7 In general, what's the tastiest thing you can personally cook, bake, or otherwise prepare?

I make a really killer batch of garlic mashed potatoes. It is my go-to potluck dish for sure.

8 You are now a pro-wrestler. What is your ring-music?

Flogging Molly - Seven Deadly Sins

9 Confess attraction to someone surprising.

Yeah I can't imagine any of my attractions would be surprising to anyone here.

10 Hate on something universally loved that you just don't -get- man. Add details

Yeah I can't imagine any of my loathings would be surprising to anyone here. I do like that you added this question specifically so you could vent about hating Star Wars, though.

There's some great songs on your list Zenny. I probably should have stuck an Arcade Fire and and of Montreal song on mine as well (probably Wake Up and Enemy Gene respectively). Q.U.E.E.N. by Janelle Monae is also glorious and I am sad I forgot it too. I will say to Gourry that being attracted to Janelle Monae isn't part of the natural order of the world, though.

I neglected to add janelle Monae. I am a sadness. Admittedly though I'm pretty sure I've loved everything she is produced I can't for the life of me recall one of her songs by heart. I need to remedy this.

Also, speaking of, add Of Montreal - Crazy Girl (feat. Janelle Monae) into that. Both versions are great but this one features Janelle Monae so is slightly better.

Since multiple people have commented on it, I don't think an attraction to Janelle Monae is really that weird. It's not really sexual, but she has a great smile, I like her eyes, and she has a confidence and sense of style that I really appreciate, plus she's an amazing performer. Her live show was one of the best concert experiences I've ever been to because she's really high energy and her voice somehow sounded better in person.

After being up for 50 hours, I finally remembered the Game quote I initially wanted to post, as well as the movie quote I was looking for.

Game Quote:
"And so the wheel of fire mills another soul. Entropy wins. Entropy always wins."

(I say this all the time in thane-voice. Usually as a sarcastic response. For instance, if my roommate complains that he forgot about his cereal and now it's all stale.)
