Ask turk anything (but be gentle)

[turk179]

I typically have an aversion of talking about myself. I am usually a much better listener. But after seeing a possible trend started by cross eyed aqualung, I thought this might help me get over this aversion. I also spent some time wondering what type of questions I would get asked and there is only one way to find out so take your best shot.

Ask me anything. From the color of my socks to my thoughts on processed cheese.
Fire away before I start thinking this is a thread all about me.

So... how do you like Iowa?

Believe it or not it reminds me of the small town I was raised in New York.

Are you affliated with any particular movement or sect within Wicca?

None. I am completely an eclectic solitaire with Greek tendencies.

What drew you to your faith?

A long story but inevitably it all comes back to a religious experience with birds and a special tree.

What is your favorite kind of tree?

Weeping Willow

Do you like eggnog?

I love eggnog.

Have you ever mistaken buttermilk for eggnog and chugged a bunch, only to find it was entirely disgusting?

I have never even tasted buttermilk.

Why do you live in Iowa?

Another long story but to make it simple I moved to Iowa because I was looking for a change in my life and I also met someone. So here I am, in Iowa.

Do you have a favorite god or goddess?

What's your favorite animal, plant and mineral?

I really don't have a favorite but if I had to pick one it would be Pan. My favorite animal is the white tiger or a bald eagle. My favorite plant is the aloe plant and favorite mineral is amethyst(is that a mineral)

Why Wicca and not one of the many older faiths?

I looked into a lot of different religions when I eventually chose Wicca. Age really had no relevance in my decision.

I was cringing at first but this turned out to be a lot of fun. Thanks everyone for the great questions. Any others?

 

[Feathers in Hair]

I'm glad you did! *hugs* I haven't worked very much with Pan, though he sounds quite interesting!

Can you cook?

Are you clumsy?

What decade do you favor?

 

[jeffrey]

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

 

[turk179]

Can you cook?

Yuppers

Are you clumsy?

I am fairly agile for my tall lanky self:sw:

What decade do you favor?

The 80's all the way.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

I have been waiting for this question all week. After further review and many calculations I have determined that the woodchuck could chuck approximately 75 pounds of wood before suffering muscle fatigue and therefore needing some Gatorade. What? No woodchuck smiley?

How many hours a night do you actually sleep?

Why is the sky blue?

What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Do you like mathematics?

What is your favorite children's book?

Where is the farthest you've been from home?

 

[turk179]

You like asking questions:bounce, cool.

How many hours a night do you actually sleep?

between five and six hours a night.

Why is the sky blue?

If I am not mistaken it is blue because of the reflection of the predominately water covered earth in the stratosphere. I think

What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Is he flying upwind or down wind?

Do you like mathematics?

Yes

What is your favorite children's book?

Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree"

Where is the farthest you've been from home?

I have had many homes. If you are referring to where I was raised then the answer would be Florida but if you are referring to where I have lived then it would still be Florida. So the answer is......Florida! :woohoo:

 

[evearael]

What was your most embarassing moment?

If you had three wishes, what would they be (and no wishing for more wishes)?

What is your earliest memory?

Do you prefer digital or film for photography?

[turk179]

Thanks for the link.

Do you express yourself artisticly?

I like to sing but only to myself when no one is listening but other than that I am not very good artistically.

Are you any good at poker?

About average I guess.

What was your most embarassing moment?

When I was in high school I used to work at a grocery store. I had a crush on a girl that worked there and while she was running a register I was walking by with a couple of plastic jars of mustard in my hand. In a dashing moment of shear brilliance I decided to give her a dashing smile while juggling the mustard. I ran face first into a cement support pillar and knocked myself on my a**.

If you had three wishes, what would they be (and no wishing for more wishes)?

Now that is a tough question. To truly answer I would seriously have to think about it for a long time. If I had to answer within a time limit, my three wishes would be; 1. World peace (that would cover a bunch of my thoughts rolled into one) 2. Financial freedom for everyone. 3. I would gain the ability to control everyones mind! Bwa ha ha:fork: (JK)

What is your earliest memory?

Playing with my best friend Donald when I was very young. I don't remember how old I was.

Do you prefer digital or film for photography?

Film most definitely. I really love black and white.

Who is your favorite physicist?

Would I be crazy if I didn't say Albert Einstein? (I don't know any others)
