Have you ever been to a Body Shop home party? I don't usually do the home party things (like MaryKay or Tupperware or whatever) because I usually think they're kind of dumb and I don't like the products, but I love the Body Shop's stuff so I thought it might be kind of fun. If you have been to one, what was it like?

usps.com says that a package for me was delivered to my house today (status: "Delivered"). However, the package is not here. Nor is there a notice from the post office of attempted delivery.

Has this ever happened to you, and did you end up receiving the package?

And it's not something a neighbor would want to steal. It's a pair of flip-flops!!

How do you open your paper-wrapped straws?




I pull the paper open from both sides like a baboon.
Sometimes, if I'm lucky, the straw will says *squeeeeze*

Guys, if it became acceptable would you ever eat human penis?
Girls, when's the last time you ate penis? (figuratively)

So many people are insane about the Sims.

TQC, should I start playing the Sims?

If so, how on earth does one start something like this? It seems so in-depth to me.

Since we always seem to have the 'how long until you can move someone's laundry', I have a similar question.

We have two microwaves at my work (in the teacher's lounge). There are 4 lunch periods, with each period having around 50 people - not all of them use the microwave, of course. Periods are 46 minutes long.

There is a line of 2-3 people waiting to use the microwave. The timer has finished and the owner is no longer standing right there. Do you take their food out and put yours in? How long do you wait, if you're going to move theirs?

1. So how many syllables does the name Kyle have, exactly? I say 1, but my 8th grade English teacher tried to convince the class it has 2.

2. What do you think of the name Kyle for a girl (pronounced the same as for a boy)? Do you know any girls named Kyle?

Are you STILL playing with the Anonymous Message Server? I just got something about masturbating with bananas whilst trolling TQC.

EDIT: ALSO: What TQC messages are you getting???

Here are a few of mine: "I am a member of TQC on livejournal. I often feel as if my life is hopeless, but I don't want to say anything because I don't want sympathy. It's just a realization that has settled into my bones and become me. I know that I will die young and I am okay with that."
 "come visit lj's The Question Club and TROLL US! ...TROLL US! INFLAMMATORY, STIR UP SOME SHIT! USE ALL CAPS> !!!"
 " psssssssssssst. thequestionclub is killing chat.....pass it on "
"

Hello oh wise ones, long time no see.

I'm in a new relationship that's going really well, but I'm friends with my ex who has been living in another country for the past few years, and is coming back this fall. There's still a lot of chemistry there when we're together in person.

What would be my best course of action?
17th-May-2008 10:35 pm - fuuuuuuuuck
anyone ever have a crown fall off?
if so, what did you do?

Lately I've been REALLY clumsy, I've knocked over like 5 drinks in the past two weeks [ALL over electronics, each time!] and yesterday I dropped TWO CIGARETTES ON MY LAP

AM I DYING?
Why am I suddenly SO CLUMSY?

Let's say, just for the sake of argument, that you get a call to be a TOMATO at a book signing.

Does that make you a fruit or a vegetable?

(Or does it make you a fool for taking the gig?)
17th-May-2008 03:55 pm
so I just finished my last final. I kind of want to spend the night doing reading a long, involved, and well-developed webcomic (something soap opera-y, maybe). I already know about questionable content, anyone have any recommendations for me?

17th-May-2008 08:42 pm - SSH RSA host key changed

After a review of our security practices brought on by the recent Debian ssh key security issue (which does not affect our FreeBSD-based service), we’ve decided to upgrade the strength of our RSA ssh host key from 1024 bits to the same length that we recommend you use, 4096 bits.

The correct/current RSA host key:

fc:89:a1:64:74:70:a4:82:58:c1:73:4e:72:59:63:56


This naturally changes the host key fingerprint, and is likely to cause warnings for people who have previously connected. This doesn’t indicate a security problem, but you should compare the new key against its fingerprint.

You can verify this on our secure site in the member FAQ.

We have not changed the DSA key, as limitations in the DSA algorithm render longer keys pointless. We discourage but will continue to allow the use of DSA keys.

We apologize to anyone alarmed by the ALL CAPITAL LETTERS!! warnings that ssh applications tend to produce when a host key changes. The new key length should guarantee that we don’t have to change it again for a good long time.

In other key-related news, we scanned all member ssh keys for the Debian weak keys and notified everyone who appeared to be affected. Since there are exploits in the wild, we will shortly be removing any remaining weak keys, and we will not accept any new weak keys for access to member sites.

Would you ever go to a nude beach (assume nudity is mandatory just for fun)?

Would you be more or less apt to go if a friend invited you along on a trip to one?
17th-May-2008 04:25 pm
Do you think you can be in love with someone who you've never met in real life before? Explain please.
17th-May-2008 04:17 pm
Do you like the sound of wind chimes?
How about fountains?


When you're driving at the legal speed limit, perhaps somewhat above, and the person behind you feels the need to gun it and then use the opposite lane to pass you, do you ever hope that you'll come up and pass them to see that they've gotten in an accident OR that they've been pulled over by a cop?

And I don't neccesarily mean a life threatening, need to go to the hospital sort of crash, just a 'look what I did to my car because I was being careless type'

Why, when my cat heaves up a grassy hairball or chucks up his lunch, does he run top-speed to a carpet or mat and THEN do it? Come on, cat, why not on the hardwood or the linoleum?

Srs/nonsrs welcome.

If your most recent ex asked you out, how would you answer?
17th-May-2008 02:26 pm
When was the last time you went out to eat?
Where did you go? What did you order?

Can I see a picture of you with your hair up? (in a bun, twist, etc.)

Do you know of any good websites with advice on moving out on your own for the first time? I'm looking for a good collection of roommate etiquette, how to make the most of your ramen, things of that nature. Thanks :)

Where is a good place (online) to buy cell phones at a retail price, not with plans or service. I already have Sprint and my phone is broken and I'm not eligible for an upgrade yet.

Also, I don't know anything about cell phones and such, what does an unlocked phone mean? Do I need a certain kind of phone to be compatible with my Sprint provider? The phone I'm looking at specifically is the Motorola L6.

What is the last thing to really annoy you?

My Red Wings are losing at the moment and I am really annoyed that I am not going to be able to watch the whole game because of work...

What is something you absolutely love about the weather right now.

It is sunny and windy, but it looks so beautiful and warm out right now!
17th-May-2008 07:37 pm
What are some jobs that involve heights, and are not too recent? (e.g. chimney-sweeping, washing windows, being a steeplejack...)

Also, if it (your answer to the first question) involves construction is it too physically demanding?

And would you try any of these?

EDIT: by "not too recent" I mean that they have been around for a while, as opposed to some recent and ultra high-tech (no pun intended) jobs.
17th-May-2008 02:34 pm
Have you ever written to somebody who has publicly criticized a performer/artist who you really liked?

If so, was the criticism recent?

Am I nuts for writing to a guy a couple of weeks ago, who made some assumptions and wrote negatively of Danny Elfman and his apparent lack of ability....in like 1990?

I wasn't going to pick a fight with him or anything, I was curious if he felt the same way
17th-May-2008 02:34 pm
What are some social things you are great at?

I can get along with almost everyone.

What are some social things you are not so great at? 

I am absolutely helpless over the phone. I am terrible at starting phone conversations.


In general, what are some things you need to work on?

I need to learn how to tell if someone is really my friend or not.

Will you spill your guts for me about whatever you're feeling right now?
17th-May-2008 01:35 pm
TQC, why won't Carlos Mencia just drop off the face of the planet? What did humanity do to deserve this?

What celebrity, in your opinion, just needs to STFU already? Why do they need to do so?
17th-May-2008 02:23 pm - New music
Wow, good week for music. New CDs by jazz saxaphonist James Carter, jazz trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, and Chinese-influenced blugrass banjo player Abigail Washburn. Great talents, all.

Anything interesting on your musical horizon?

what is a free fall sensor? i'm finally getting a new laptop and a couple of the hard drive options say "free fall sensor". i googled it but all i found were prices and stuff. my guess is that it doesn't detect that your laptop is free falling and deploys an airbag or something.

BONUS QUESTION: what are you listening to RIGHT NOW?
17th-May-2008 10:59 am
1. good place to get food for lunch? (take out/curb side)
2. what's on your "wanttt!!!" list right now?
3. are you going to see the new indiana jones movie?
17th-May-2008 10:57 am
prolly a long shot here..... but i'll ask anyway.

last night i heard a song that had the lyrics in it "watch me just watch me.." somewhere along those lines  "i'll fly and get away..." or something like that and in the beginning about leaving and never coming back even if they wanted her back, etc... in the end she says she's "sorry if I'm not good enough for you..." but she will leave.

it is so vague and I've never heard of this song before- must be new.  But I want to find out who sang this song!


The girl that sings it sounds a lot like Avril, but the song itself is very pop/rock-ish with some dance beats.  


its been driving me nuts trying to google it- i've been on the internet for a wasted 3 hours trying to find it.
GAH!

anybody know what song i'm talking about?

and yes- i do believe it is new.

My roommate (a 40-year-old realtor guy from Guyana) left his laundry in the washer and dryer. I have no clean jeans.

How long should I wait before moving his stuff out of the washer and dryer?
Should I put his stuff from the washer into the dryer for him, or just move it out onto the kitchen table wet?

I had the following conversation last night:
Scene: the movie theatre following Prince Caspian )
WHAT HELL WAS UP WITH THAT?


What kind of food should I buy tonight at the grocery store?

Someone on my flist claims to have heard a story on NPR about Obama "appointing" Clinton to the Supreme Court if he wins. I can't find anything about this on NPR's website or CNN.

1. Have you heard this?
2. If it's true: good idea or bad idea?
