What are some pick up lines that work? What definitely doesn't work?
I find that pick-up lines aren't very effective. Conversation and humor is much better. Laughing WITH (and not at) a girl is a major step forward. For example, I used to not know what any mixed drinks were beyond a rum and Coke or screwdriver. So, when I heard of a black and tan as a mix of Guinness and Bass, I said, "Oh, like the fish?" If you're a guy, laugh with that. Girls aren't perfect in knowledge of guy things (especially after a few drinks). After a drink or two, I obviously got fish and beer cocktails mixed up. Laughing along with a girl is much better than asking, "Did it hurt when you fell down from heaven?"

If we all had novelty gravestones, what would yours say?
"She always said she'd sleep when she was dead."

Worst injury:
I dislocated my knee really bad when practicing choreography in high school, and I had to wear an immobilizer and/or brace for a couple months. I can't run long distances on hard surfaces anymore.
-
Have you ever gotten/given a wedgie?
Both. Giving and getting one is nearly a priori knowledge if you've been to elementary school.

Democrat, Republican or Green?
I lean more on the moderate democrat side.

Describe one time when you barfed.
This is an attractive question, but here goes ... When I spent a summer in South Korea, I met some Koreans who suggested that I try a thing called "so-mag," which is a shot of soju (korean alcohol that tastes just like rubbing alcohol) dropped into half a glass of magju (Korean for "beer") and is chugged like a shot. So I tried it. Then they suggested several more had to follow -- it was the "Korean way." The next morning was a little rough to say the least (there's the barf part).

Would you ever keep a friend around who is less attractive entirely for the purpose of making yourself look even more attractive?
No As much as we'd all like to say we are the most attractive in our groups of friends, I wouldn't try to make sure the people around me were less attractive. A lot of my friends are attractive. I'd like to say that I'd keep a friend around for being a good friend who knows how to have fun versus their rating on a "hot or not" scale. (But secretly, we all like to feel like we're the hottest girl wherever we are, so I always try to up the ante on the competition with stilettos or a corset every now and then.)

Who would be your ideal mate if you were a dinosaur?
A triceratops because it would need to be horny all the time if it wanted to be my mate, and three horns makes a trifecta of horniness.
-
Would you rather date Legolas or Aragorn? Why?
Aragorn. I never saw the whole appeal to that blonde, whispy-haired elf guy. I think tall, dark and handsome beats that out any day. Not to mention that Aragorn was a little rugged, rough around the edges and more assertive. Overall, he was just sexier to me.

You're on an asteroid and your daughter's fiancee draws the short straw to sacrifice his life to divert it from destroying the Earth. What do you do?
Let him go along with it. Better him than me. It worked in Armageddon, didn't it?
