1) How far away from where you live is the nearest village/town/city/... called Plymouth?

There doesn't seem to be a Plymouth in Australia, but the Plymouth, U.K. City Council lists Plympton, S.A. on it's list of "Plymouths around the world", and that is literally the next suburb.
Mind you they also list Devonport, Tasmania as a "Plymouth"; I think the criteria are being settled by people from Plymouth and having a name carried from the Plymouth area.


2) When was the last time you walked on a beach? Which beach?

Some time in October, various beaches on the south coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula.

3) What's you favorite swimming stroke (deduct 10 points for males answering breaststroke)

Loses ten points. Breast stroke is easy to maintain, and keeping your face up helps you see where you are going and stuff.

4) What's your favorite ice cream flavor?

Chocolate, made from the realest milk/cream possible.

5) Which external part of your head bothers you the most and why?

I'm having trouble with the concept of an "external part", so I'll just follow my generous-sized nose.

6) Do you think Flying Spaghetti Monster is offensive?

Only to people who I think ought to be offended occasionally.

7) What is the most expensive light/light fitment you have ever bought? Flashlights and headlights and spotlights etc count alongdide household lighting.

Petzl Tikka trekking head-lamp. Light, reliable, powerful, many features.

8) Have you ever regifted something? What?

Heck yeah. Mathoms.

9) What is your favorite number and why?

I treat all numbers equally.

Urk...about 3 or 4 years ago. Blackpool Beach.

The crawl

4) What's your favortie ice cream flavor?

more of a favourite 'type' than flavour: traditional vanilla kulfi

5) Which external part of your head bothers you the most and why?

hair: I hate my hair.

6) Do you think Flying Spaghetti Monster is offensive?

I'm not answerng that one, he may smite me with his noodly appendage

a £40 lamp

8) Have you ever regifted something? What?

I must have done this at some point in my life, but I cannot recall a specific example

9) What is your favorite number and why?

90: in the current degree marking/classification scheme, 90 is a perfect score. I like that it's not 100. The marking system essentially denies the existence of perfection. This is a recent addition. As a kid I liked '7'. I have no fucking clue why.

Here in the Southwest, they're aren't many Plymouths. In fact none that comes to mind at all. The neighbors have a plymouth. Does that count?

Back in the last ice age. It was on the Oregon beach near Coos Bay.

Side stroke.

Haagen Das coffee.

The external part doesn't bother me, its the internal part that gives me problems. Like, "YOU! settle down in there. I don't care if the other multiples are teasing you or not. All of you just shut the fuck up. NOW!" Ah where were we just now?

The flying spaghetti monster should be treated with the same respect as any other sentient being. After that he should be eaten.

A fancied up lamp with a katchina surrounded in glass. Heap smartum Zuni saw dumbass white girl coming on that one.

Regifted? Like getting a gift you hate and passing it along to some other poor sucker? No, but I've been known to sell such dubious gifts at yard sales.

6 - it is the number of sacred directions - above, below, east, west, south, and north.

Uhmmm, do I get a price for taking this at 5 in the morning?
