I met a girl down at the disco

Went to show last night. We almost never go to shows anymore, especially on a week night. Oh, the tolls of age. But this was a special occasion: our friend's band, The Marquis, was playing. They're really really good, sort of country-folk-rock (think Neil Young, Blue Rodeo). They play a combination of originals and covers - their banjo-infused version of The Black Eye Peas' "My Humps" must be heard to be believed.

Okay, question time for everyone (that includes lurkers!!!)

You've just found a magic mirror that knows all and will answer one question with complete honesty.

What do you ask it?

WHAT??!!!

REALLY?? you must be joking.

Michael said...

I would never lie about that.

Cheryl said...

Can I answer this question as Veronica Mars?

Because I think this would be a very beneficial mirror if I were her.

Michael said...

I suppose. But then I already know who crashed the bus.

Rebs said...

I don't think Cheryl's on that season yet, m'dear.
could be wrong though.

it's not an easy question. I'm having difficulty

Cheryl said...

that was not the question I was going to ask.

I was going to ask for all government and large corporations conspiracies, so I could DESTROY THEM ALL!!!

Michael said...

Look at you. Aren't you cute with your taking down the government talk?

Rebs, it is a hard question. I assume that were I in such a position to ask an important question like this, I'd blow it. So I'm going completely shallow and superficial: In my entire life, which girls have liked me?

Dave said...

Who can I fully trust?

Michael said...

That's so emo, Dave ;)

Dave said...

hahahahaha

Tom said...

umm, I already know someone who knows all... and he's telling me everything I ought to hear from him...

...but selfishly, and foolishly?

"with whom in this world can I make the best life?"

not really even the most important question, just the one whose answer I covet most

Why do people like shiny things so much?

Jaimie said...

What are the winning numbers for the next big lottery jackpot?

(because it's all about the benjamins, baby.)

Michael said...

And it's information you can use, Jaimie. But who's Benjamin?

Tom said...

That's your question? You want to know who benjamin is? I coulda told you that...

Rebs said...

my question: what topic should I do for my Shakespeare essay?

either that or: who will I find to live with me in summer? (mostly so that I can start nagging them to move out with me)

honestly, that's all I got. everything else is just not important at this point.

future? thinking about it? me?

I heard about a paper someone wrote for one of my old profs. This guy argued that if you wrote all of King Lear out on a map, everytime one particular word was printed it corresponded to the site of alien activity. The guy got an A. Of course, he was taking the course through correspondence because he was in jail for killing people.

Were I the magic mirror, I'd ask what your favorite play has been, to help narrow down the options.

Rebs said...

that's just weird.

umm...I really liked Richard 3. but I did my last essay on that one. the problem is the topics given - so far, "gender and genre" looks the most appealing. I was think of comparing gender in 12th Night with either Macbeth or Richard.
but he pretty much talked about that very thing all class, so I'd have to make extra sure I'm doing at least some original thinking.

ANYway, now I'm just thinking 'out loud'.

lotto numbers would be nice too, though I hear that it's not all it's cracked up to be - what with the taxes and the sudden reappearance of 'destitute' relatives/friends.
