The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1) I make no guarantees that you will like what I make;
2) It'll be done this year
3) You have no clue what it's going to be. It could be anything!
Jewelry, a poem, a contract, a mix CD, a photograph... anything, really.
4) I reserve the right to make something extremely odd.

The catch? The catch is that you incur a moral obligation to re-post and follow through.

Your result for The 'How Army Literate Are You?' Test...

The Elite GI

You either got top marks or were very nearly there. Either way you're in the top 3 of the class. Which leads me to think you are in the service or a relatively new veteran. Well done. You've effectively proven the army is your way of life!

OR... you're a terrorist and you're spying on the US Military! Listening in on communications, observing, following... that kind of thing. It's a chilling thought. :P

Thanks for taking my test! :)

filkertom:
1. Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?

No, you can stop reading now.

2. Would you do meth if it was legal?

Probably not.

3. Abortion: for or against it?

As I am not a female, biological or otherwise, it's none of my damn business. And unless you, personally, possess a functioning uterus, it's none of yours either.

4. Do you think the world would fail with a female president?

The world has a president?

5. Do you believe in the death penalty?

In principle, yes, but in practice, our justice system has proven itself to be too fallable to be trusted with that sort of power.

6. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?

Yes. if only so the stoners would quit whining about it.

7. Are you for or against premarital sex?

For.

8. Do you believe in God?

Nope. Gee, this survey is easy!

9. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?

Yes. As should polygamy. If non-human sapience is ever engineered, then AIs, posthumans, and uplifted squid should all be eligible too.

10. Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?

I think it's "wrong" in the sense that it's illegal, and the human trafficers who profit from it are usually tied up in other criminality too, and the government does have a legitimate interest in cracking down on it. That said, I don't really condemn the illegals, as they're only doing exactly what I would do in their situation.

Edit: If we _really_ want to crack down, we should start deporting their employers. They're the real criminals, IMO.

11. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?

Generally "no", but I'm sure there are exceptional 12 year olds out there who can handle the responsibilities.

12. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?

Yes.

13. Should the war in Iraq be called off?

Called on account of sun? It's hot as a mofo there...

14. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?

Yes, I agree that it's illegal. I'm getting the feeling that the writer of this meme isn't as bright as they think they are.

15. Do you believe in spanking your children?

In some circumstances. If a child is too young to understand reason, and engaged in behavior that present an active danger to themselves or others, then a little aversive conditioning is perfectly justifiable. It should never be because the parent was simply upset, or because the child was "bad", it should be a simple matter of what stimulus is most effective to get the kid to learn.

16. Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?

Considering that that _is_ the approved method of disposing of worn out flags, then yes, I would pocket the money, and then burn the flag with all due ceremony and reverence.

17. Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?

We'd beter HOPE it's Obama now. :-)

18. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?

Not really.

Dear

jefbot:

I don't really know how to tell you this, but You're a pervert. I think I realized it When I changed tennis shoes With George Bush and his wife and I saw you Pull the clothes off Bill Clinton. I'm sure you're Cowardly enough to understand That Extreme Home Makeover sucks. I'm returning Our matching snoopy-bibs to you, but I'll keep Your suicide note as a memory. You should also know that I Never will forget The incarnation as an eskimo.

Fuck off now,

( And here's how it was done. )

The rules:
1. Take a picture of yourself right now.
2. Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair...just take a picture.
3. Post that picture with NO editing.
4. Post these instructions with your picture.

I'll admit to _technically_ cheating, since the pic is 3 days old. But at the time, I fully intended to post it right then, so NYAH!

1 minute, 25 seconds

Would be my name if I were born to Sarah Palin. Or possibly "Package Wichita Palin", which sounds like a rather desperate porn name. Disclaimer: I approve wholeheartedly of people giving their children unusual names, but I still think this is funny.

And speaking of Palin, the rumor a few weeks back regarding her youngest kid's actual parentage turned out to have probably* been false, but the official "Went into premature labor so jumped the first 10 hour flight home so her baby could be born in ALASKA, by God!" story is fishy as hell. Anyone with such poor judgement shouldn't be trusted with children at all, much less nuclear launch codes. So what I think happened was, there was no surprise labor, or if there was, it happened after she got back to Alaska. She went in an got labor induced, whether for pressing medical reasons, or just because it was at a time convenient to her schedule. Something that plenty of women do, but which wouldn't necessarily endear her to the "base", so she made up some bullshit story to get sympathy. Of course I can't prove this, but if it turns out to be true, I WILL say "I told you so!"

*Because they _could_ still be lying about the timing, or even the fact of, the daughters current pregnancy. Not likely, though.

The Crazy Clockwork Tinkerer

27 Swashbuckling Engineer, 54 Crazy Clockwork Tinkerer, 7 Charming Noble, 17 Roguish Pirate, 31 Mechanical Fian and 42 Aetherist Bodger!

What is life? If something simulates life so well that no one knows that it is simulated and treats it like it were alive, would that be just like life? And if you were the one to create this simulated life, would that make you a god of some sort? Quite possibly, and that may be one of the many motivations behind your projects. Your clockwork mechanisms started off simple and cute, but as you attempted to replicate life in your machines, you created bigger mechanisms, golems of gears, that do your bidding. You are a genius, but a crazy genius.

Your result for The Personality Defect Test...

Haughty Intellectual

You are 86% Rational, 14% Extroverted, 43% Brutal, and 57% Arrogant.

You are the Haughty Intellectual. You are a very rational person, emphasizing logic over emotion, and you are also rather arrogant and self-aggrandizing. You probably think of yourself as an intellectual, and you would like everyone to know it. Not only that, but you also tend to look down on others, thinking yourself better than them. You could possibly have an unhealthy obsession with yourself as well, thus causing everyone to hate you for being such an elitist twat. On top of all that, you are also introverted and gentle. This means that you are just a quiet thinker who wants fame and recognition, in all likelihood. Like so many countless pseudo-intellectuals swarming around vacuous internet forums to discuss worthless political issues, your kind is a scourge upon humanity, blathering and blathering on and on about all kinds of boring crap. If your personality could be sculpted, the resulting piece would be Rodin's "The Thinker"--although I am absolutely positive that you are not nearly as muscular or naked as that statue. Rather lacking in emotion, introspective, gentle, and arrogant, you are most certainly a Haughty Intellectual! And, most likely, you will never achieve the recognition or fame you so desire! But no worries!

To put it less negatively:

1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive.

2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted.

3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.

4. You are more ARROGANT than humble.

Compatibility:

Your exact opposite is the Schoolyard Bully. (Bullies like to beat up nerds, after all.)

Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Braggart, the Hand-Raiser, and the Robot.

If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.

The other personality types:

The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Smartass: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

About Saint_Gasoline

I am a self-proclaimed pseudo-intellectual who loves dashes. I enjoy science, philosophy, and fart jokes and water balloons, not necessarily in that order. I spend 95% of my time online, and the other 5% of my time in the bathroom, longing to get back on the computer. If, God forbid, you somehow find me amusing instead of crass and annoying, be sure to check out my blog and my webcomic at SaintGasoline.com.

1) I only have 3 lower incisors, and all of my canine teeth grew in and fell out twice before the adult ones came in.

2) When in DLI, lo, those many years ago, I tried to build up a tolerance to sleep by taking sleeping pills, until the logic that it would then be easier for me to stay awake when tired. Didn't work, I ended up being just as tired during the days, and unable to fall asleep easily without the pills for 2 months or so after I stopped taking them.

3) I sometimes think it might have been better had I died gruesomely in Iraq, if only because the insurance money would have enabled my parents to finally retire.

4) I'm a habitual "hand-writer"; If I have something important enough to remember, but not enough to write down on paper, it gets written on my left hand.

5) I used to think Piers Anthony was the Greatest Author EVAR! Then I hit puberty.

6) Similarly, I used to like Palladium games for reasons other than pure kitsch value.
