Ask a Question Game - Backwater Thread

A: Whoa, had to think of this for a LONG time. I have seen some batshit crazy stuff in my time. I saw a guy in a casino in Moscow playing Russian roulette with a demonstrably real bullet. He was a Georgian mobster so I did not really care although I did leave so I can't tell what happened.

(Actually not sure that is number 1; will probably think of another incident later. Ya know esprit de l'escalier (sp).

Q: Staying within the same vein. What is the craziest thing you have ever done?

A: Crazy's such a complicated thing. Like your answer, kolyaboo, it can be scary, weird, random... Much of my most really crazy stuff is also messed up and not great memories, So,

Funnest, purest innocent crazy: swimming out seaward in a rip in a massive summer thunderstorm with a crush. I remember us standing on a submerged rock way out past the break as the rain pelted on the water, the lightning flashed, and the waves sprayed back at us in the gale, watching the crowd scramble up the dune only minutes before had been baking in 40+ c degree heat.

That was many years ago. Ah, to be young, crushing hard, stupid and a strong swimmer.

Q: Have you ever had a treehouse? Would you like to live in one?

A: It was common practice to build wooden shacks at the age around 10-15, usually one per village, a meetingplace for the young, camping with a better tent, a no parental zone of controll, not in a tree though.
But im pretty sure plans to build one around a tree existed, one even had a selfdug "cellar" nearly 2m deep for keeping the drinks cool during summer, during winter it filled with water, a wonder it didn´t collapse.
The shacks did sometimes get expansions once the next generation decided to do so, one half ended up out of square/skew-whiffed and the other straight depending on age of construction.

For the one i decided to built up with friends, we went for 4m x 5m with solid framework inorder to be able to move it, once we grow out.
We even had electricity for Musik. It got moved by the next generation like predicted, they added another 20m² or 30m² expansion (its not mobile anymore *grml*) and a sat-receiver + television.

Nowadaykids go for the easy route and organize a old construction-trailer, this 5m² thing with wheels.

So, No, i like my flushy toilet with fluid water.


Q: If your neighbours T-Rex would constantly demolish your garden, what would be your method of choice to get rid of the beast ?

A: I'd make friends with it and learn to ride it so we could go on mad adventures far away from the quiet farming community. You can only do so much pumpkin farming before the urge to smash becomes too strong.

Q: Why are modern car colours so bland?

A.) The same reason hotel and apartment walls are all the same offensively inoffensive off-white: bland colors technically offend the fewest people, and so the fewest sales are lost to people who can't abide the color of a car. Wild paint jobs that actually have some gorram personality are left to expensive aftermarket work.

A) Too much Mountain Dew? Too much pistachio ice cream? Too much kale? Or an actual dietary issue. Think back on food/beverages you had within 24 hours with lots of green.

The real answer is also my question:
