Was there any other question on this thread you answered with a lie besides this one?

Ace said:

But you go to a shrink?

I'm sorry. I just would've thought that would run completely counter to Zen practice (or that of any other Eastern religion or philosophy). Just can't picture it.

Wait, that sounded a bit aggressive. How about...

What's your favourite track on Extraordinary Machine?

kpowers said:

Sure. All I have to do is wait for Gene to kick the bucket and/or go broke.

Serious said:

This one.

Fauxie said:

I adhere to no religion or philosophy. While I often joke that I practice Zen, in actuality, it's really more "simplicity". But a lot of Zen ideas make sense to me.

Fauxie said:

I didn't read it that way; I just thought it sounded like a good question.


Never heard the album. Unless it's in italics, everything on my list is a song.

P.S. Did you know that Fiona Apple has done psychoanalysis for years? More importantly, David Blaine spanked her so hard, she had trouble sitting on her piano stool.

Are you secretely a Bush fan?

I'm assuming you mean George W. (as opposed to the Gavin Rossdale band)? In which case:

Actually, in both cases:

Ace said:

Is that a YES?

Ace said:

Ah, I see. Similar to me then. If pushed I'll say I'm Taoist, but really I just enjoy reading Eastern philosophy and I take certain things from all kinds of Buddhist, Taoist, Zen and Confucianist texts I happen to read. I suppose there are plenty of Buddhist rituals I perform regularly, but that's more of a cultural thing in support of my wife. I'm not really one for organised religion either.

Oh, so you meant the song 'Extraordinary Machine', not the album. It's a good track.

Fauxie said:

Some of the lyrics are a bit pretentious, but I like the music and the refrain ("Be kind to me or treat me mean / I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine"). I aspire to fit that description.

I should note that I first heard this couplet via an orger's sig (Sweeny?). If it was Sweeny, let me thank you again! If it wasn't Sweeny, let me apologize for forgetting who it was.

Whats your favourite sandwich filling? you can tell a lot about a guy by his favourite sandwich filling.

Whatever Sir Alan's is.

How does one apply to be a Sir? I want to be one.

Ace said:

Sir Alan likes money in his sandwiches. You can apply to be a SIR by writing to the queen and stating your reasons for why you think you deserve this honour. Be sure to include:


1. Any criminal convictions (they like those)
2. Any drug addictions (the like those too)
3. Any peculiar fetishes (the LOVE those)
4. And last but not least, your credit card number.
Upon receiving your knighthood you must thank the Queen personally by getting down on all fours and being a "human table" while she watches Eastenders and smokes a fag. Then you have to attend to Princess Annes personal "needs."

LleeLlee said:

Can you do it over the Internet?

No, you cant become a human table over the internet, you're going to have to leave your bed im afraid.

Who did you vote for in the election?

LleeLlee said:

The U.S. has this weird hangup where they don't let Canadians vote in their elections. Crazy, I know!

P.S. I wish I were in bed (actually, it's a warm, sunny day here, so lounging on my terrace would be nice ). I'm in the office.

Ace said:

Youre a Canadian I thought Canadians were a myth like Unicorns

Ace said:

Move a bed intpo your office and conduct your beezness..in bed yeah!

LleeLlee said:

Unicorns are a myth?!

LleeLlee said:

I would rather move my office into my bed.
