To be honest, I don't ever put it on the holder. If I had my way, it would just be on the countertop all the time. If someone else puts it on the holder, I slightly prefer it to be under because it just seems classy, like Myrna Loy.Hedgeowl wrote:Under?? really? My husband and I joked about putting it our vows that we knew early it would work out once we realized we were both Over TP people.
Anything lemon. My all-time fave dessert is a limoncello, which is named after the liquer. It's basically a lemon tiramisu, with all the fluffy semifreddo layers. Once I made a spumoni-flavored tiramisu (where each layer was a different of the three flavors) and while it was good, the limoncello-asu took the, um, cake.Hedgeowl wrote:Favorite dessert?
I was born in Tallahassee to seniors at Florida State University. They graduated the month after I was born and moved back to Crestview (in the Panhandle, which is why I have a tiny bit of an accent) and I lived there until I moved away to college in 2000.Hedgeowl wrote:Where were you born?

No, I don't have a scar from that. It's from the Star Wars drinking game.Mongoose wrote:Skunk bite.thellama73 wrote:I love Myrna Loy so much even though she was apparently a dirty commie. What is the scar on your thumb from?

You definitely should. It's my favorite as well. Mongoose is just like Leslie Knope and I am just like Ron Swanson (only not as manly).MovingPictures07 wrote: Why is Parks & Rec your favorite TV show? (I've considered starting to watch it, eventually)

When I was in college, I had friends that had a descented skunk named Flower. It was as mean as the dickens. It bit me so hard that I have a scar on the place where my thumb meets my wrist. They eventually gave it to a skunk sanctuary and I was glad because I hated it. Which is something, since I am pretty much a Wackier Snow White.MovingPictures07 wrote:Yay, asking questions! LOL, I am so intrigued about your most recent responses to llama. Care to elaborate there?
I don't laugh out loud easily and this show makes it easy to every week. It has been consistently funny and the characters are all so 3D and likable. Sometimes when we are watching P&R, we will rewind a scene or a line 3x! Plus I am Leslie Knope (with a shred of Anne's sensibility thrown in though) and Logan is pretty much Ron Swanson and that parallel makes me happy. (I asked James if he likes calzones so he can be Ben, but he is not sure if he has ever had one).MovingPictures07 wrote:Why is Parks & Rec your favorite TV show?

Once, when I was visiting him in Christmas, he surprised me with a trip to Italy (Venice and Rome). He took me to Il Fenice (The Phoenix), this famed opera hall that keeps burning down and they keep rebuilding (self-fulfilling prophecy of name?). Anyway, we took overnight trains both to and from Italy, and that was a fun adventure. I am not usually a fun person that likes those kinds of adventures (ahem: opera) but it was a super neat experience. I ate my face off.MovingPictures07 wrote:What are some of your favorite moments with James?

Actually I got hissy when he suggested he knew everything about me and I sat here for 10 mins trying to think of something he didn't know, to no avail. He might not know my favorite Harry Potter is Book 3. Or that I once went to a Carl Hiaasen signing.Spacedaisy wrote:What is one thing about you that Llama does not know?
Probably birds or horses. I guess those are more phobias though. My biggest fear is probably the loss of loved ones.Spacedaisy wrote:What is your biggest fear?
I am quite partial to: Panacea, Solace, Zeitgeist. I also like to say "hoss" a lot.Spacedaisy wrote:What is your favorite word?

Once I reviewed the seriously-maligned Gigli for the Gainesville Sun to see if it was as bad as everyone thought. It wasn't. Wasn't great either.MovingPictures07 wrote:Seriously awesome answers, thank you, Alison!
One other question for now from me: What is your least favorite movie you've ever seen and why?

The Thin Man ALWAYS.MovingPictures07 wrote:Okay, so how about all-time favorite movie?
Sounds like I have a new movie to watch (well, three new movies... yes, I am mostly cinematically uncultured).Mongoose wrote:The Thin Man ALWAYS.MovingPictures07 wrote:Okay, so how about all-time favorite movie?
Sometimes I break it down classic v. modern.
In that case:
Classic: The Thin Man
Modern: Little Miss Sunshine
Dr. Strangelove comes in as my 3rd favorite film.
AND The Thin Man spawned 5 sequels!MovingPictures07 wrote:Sounds like I have a new movie to watch (well, three new movies... yes, I am mostly cinematically uncultured).Mongoose wrote:The Thin Man ALWAYS.MovingPictures07 wrote:Okay, so how about all-time favorite movie?

Cool. Well, if/whenever I think of more questions, I'll be back! For now, I'll let others abuse that privilege.

Well, that is temporarily a complicated question, but has a fun answer.Sorsha wrote:What is your occupation? From some of your answers above it seems like you work for a newspaper?
I liked it too! Things don't always have to be cinematically awesome to be enjoyable. I don't like pretension, so you won't get flack from me!Hedgeowl wrote:My go to happy place movie though is Chocolat. I have no idea if cinematically it was good film, but I love watching it.
My favorite Disney movie is Fantasia. I am also partial to The Little Mermaid (which I can sing for you if you ever want that) and Lady & the Tramp.Hedgeowl wrote:What is your favorite Disney movie? What is the first movie you remember watching?
Oooh hmm. I find it hard to eat anything while reading a book, honestly. I like to have a cup of hot or glass of iced tea nearby though.A Person wrote:What is your favorite food to eat while watching a movie/reading a book?
I always wanted to be the attorney that made Exxon pay for the Exxon-Valdez spill. Unlike BP with the New Horizon, they still haven't paid one nickel 25 years later, even though it was awarded years ago. They now have punitive damages that have arisen from Exxon's extreme lack of timely payment. Anyway, it was gross conduct by a company and it's what made me want to be an attorney.Lizzy wrote:What's your dream job q.m.

My siblings and I are all 7 years apart. We are all halfsies through my mom. I am the oldest and my brother is 24. Last but not least my sister is 17. I grew up with my dad and they grew up with our maternal/maternal/material great-grandmother. My brother and I spend a lot of time looking out for my sister! He moved back to our hometown last year so he can keep an even better eye on her now.Elohcin wrote:Mongoose, how many siblings do you have, if any?
I actually only lived in Tallahassee for about a month while my dad finished up college, and then he took me back to his hometown of Crestview. Crestview is weird because it's this juxtaposition of the agricultural part of the north of the county mingling with the fancy-schmancy part of the south county (Destin, et al.) Eglin is in that county so we had a lot of military families who had lived in really cool places. Sometimes we could see opera/ballet/theater if we drove to the nearest college.Elohcin wrote:And what was it like growing up in Tallahassee?
Hi Simon! My favorite cuisine is Greek, and there just happens to be a Greek restaurant downstairs called Athenian Garden. I usually get a greek salad, but sometimes I get falafel, which is a sandwich filling that is kinda like meatballs but made out of chickpeas and then topped with a yogurt sauce called tzaiziki.Elohcin wrote:Simon would like to know what your favorite restaurant is.

I really love William Powell. Ziegfeld Follies/The Great Ziegfeld is prob my fave non-Thin Man film he was in, and with Myrna Loy as the equally effervescent Billy Burke! I did not care for My Man Godfrey, but I did like the Loy/Powell dynamic in Libeled Lady.Roxy wrote:B. Is it only Thin Man for you or are there other William Powell movies that you enjoy?
I generally like that but haven't seen enough of them probably.Roxy wrote:C. What do you think of the Road to - movies?
This is a bit embarrassing as I really like "Twist & Shout." When I was in Liverpool for Christmas last year, they had a Beatles exhibit (separate from the museum) and I enjoyed that.Roxy wrote:D. What is your favorite Beatles song?

I really liked Bloc Party both times I saw them. Once in May 2007 here in St Pete and then in May 2013 in Orlando. They put on a hell of a show. Kele Okereke is my English gay boyfriend. I think he's the best songwriter of my generation.Roxy wrote:G. Best concert you have seen?
I think he did. Mongooses are known for their attention to detail. He probably poached it and had some sliced tomatoes on the side. Or mmm hashbrowns.Roxy wrote:H. When Rikki cornered Nagainia in the snakes den with her egg do you think Rikki destroyed the unborn baby snake in the egg too?
