1 - You have two hours booked on the holodeck. What program do you run? It can be anything from playing a game of pong against an Olympic champion, to a sex fantasy with literally limitless hookers. I won't judge. It's your holodeck time.
2 - After an incident with some Libyans, you are inadvertently sent back to 1955, with no chance of ever getting back. How do you live out the rest of your existence? Will you just blend in, or exploit your knowledge of the future in some way for fame and fortune, or even just to help mankind? (And don't just take the cheap way out and say you'd invest in Amiga computers and answering machines)
3 - Hypothetically speaking, let's say that there is some scenario where you have to break an existing Guinness world record within the next year, or else you will die. You are free to use this next year to work towards this goal, and train for whatever it is in any way you see fit. What record will you go after? Keep in mind there are plenty of pointless records you could go after, like the longest distance ridden backwards on a unicycle while balancing an egg on a spoon, or you could just go for the world's fattest man if that's what floats your boat. Choose whatever you want. But your life depends on you breaking that record. Be realistic here.
1- After recreating some choice time with the lovely Grace Park above, I would recreate The Who's performance of Tommy at the Isle of Wight show with front row tickets.
2- Using my handy 2012 sports almanac I so conveniently had in my pocket, I would make a ton of cash, I mean a fucking ton of cash. Then I would privatize space travel and ensure that the space race didn't stop at the moon, but that we kept exploring outward and outward.
3- Most times consecutively flipping an egg.
so my question goes:
do you thing you had enough sleep?
Never
Another question: Taking into account Schopenhauer's view of aiming low so that when bad things happen one doesn't get disappointed and when good things happen you can be surprised, and relating that to Kant's belief that one should think autonomously and free of dictates of external authority, who do you think will win the NBA championship this year?
Warriors baby!!!
Have you met/ know any famous people? If so, who?
Follow up, any famous person you would you like to meet?
Two that stand out.....
1- I was taking a piss in the bathroom at the hotel. A gentleman came in and started using the urinal next to me. At a glance, I could tell it was Joe Montana. The only thing I could think was "holy shit, I'm pissing next to Joe Montana." Obviously, we didn't shake hands.
2- When I was about twelve, my dad took us on a trip to Boston. We were in the Harvard Sheraton having breakfast, and the only other table in the room was occupied by John Madden. My dad, being the consumate salesman he is, asked John something about being out there looking at schools for his son. John picked up his breakfast and walked over to our table and finished it with us. My dad and him had a long, in depth conversation about a ton of shit, my brother and I just sat there and looked stupid.
I have a list of people earlier in the thread that I have cooked for too.
The top two on my list(the above mentioned Grace Park wouldn't be bad to meet), would be Pete Townshend and Jon Anderson
How did you come to find/join DTF? And, did you know any DTF'rs before joining?
I never used the internet till 2008(see above drug addiction and alcoholism). I had started using it to follow shit on ESPN, and I had a boss at the time who used to tell of the sit that happened on his forum, the VH Links. Curious, I signed up for my favorite band's forum, Yessongs. It was slow and boring, so I went to my second favorite band's forum, DTF. I liked what I saw, then this thread rolled around...
https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=6678.0and I knew I was home.
I didnt know anyone here when joining, though I have since met DTVT, Bosk, H, Fiery Winds, Obscure, Bout to Crash, DTbug(a personal friend, she has three post I think) and beerslayer(he's my buddy, a registered member though I still don't think the fucker has posted yet)
