Dear Invisible Friend,

The apartment or flat question was asking which one you use. So, which?

Have you ever had occasion to run a gas line in your home?

My hands are sore, yours?

[Jairus]

Ah, sorry I didn't post any of the answers yesterday: I meant to, but I had to check up on my apartment, and after the two hour drive (including some lovely traffic) I was too tired to do so.

Okay, we've got a lovely batch today.

"Someone ate the baby it's rather sad to say
Someone ate the baby so she won't be out to play
We'll never hear her whiny cry
or have to feel if she is dry
We'll never hear her asking, "Why, why, why?"
Someone ate the baby

Someone ate the baby it's absolutely clear
Someone ate the baby 'cause the baby isn't here
We'll give away her toys and clothes
We'll never have to wipe her nose
Dad says, "That's the way it goes."
Someone ate the baby

Someone ate the baby, what a frightful thing to eat
Someone ate the baby, though she wasn't very sweet
It was a heartless thing to do
The policemen haven't got a clue
I simply can't imagine who would go and (burp) eat the baby
(Stavro Arrgolus)"

meh i write but not as much as i should. perhaps you've read some of my work.
i'll not answer that thank you very much.
i regret nothing http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20041103.html

see first answer.

do you have more ammo then god?
do you know why more ammo then god doesn't defeat people?
is it am flight time now?
do you like to fly?
do you know where i can train trade in my jet back form some more rocket boots?

No, both of us have none.
Because you actually need to use it effectively? Play any first person shooter game to find that one out.
No
No
Do you mean jetpack? If so, I would just try any open terrain with hopefully few obstacles and few people around to complain about pollution and property damage, aside from that, bring a parachute.

Gabi's IF said...

Then what, dear IF, would you say your strongest points are?

I've just been talking in a chatroom and, after discussing a certain country's politics for a while, I found out the others knew nothing about my country. Has something like that ever happened to you?
What countries (or even continents) have you studied about?
What do you think of the current situation in your country?
And since we're at it, what -if anything- do you know about my country?

Oh, most definitely being a parasite on social situations and talking out of both sides of my mouth at once.

I am ever astounded by the ignorance of others.

I've studied people as a whole, so one could say all of them? In depth? Quite a few.

It's not great, but compared to quite a bit of the rest of the world we're still sitting pretty.

República Argentina, in land the second largest country in South America to Brazil. Primary language, Spanish, although it is apparantly a different sort of Spanish than is spoken in Spain. Estimated population, 40.5 million, of which about 35% live in the capital of Buenos Aires.  That city itself was first settled by Spanish explorers I believe in 1580.   In more modern history, I know but that it is something of a chess center, and that Miguel Najdorf made his home there (and changed his name, it used to be Mendel Najdorf) after his home country of Poland was invaded. That's about all I know in hard detail, (Aside form the Falkland war, but that might be a bit impolitic to go on at length about) but there is quite a bit more I can deduce or guess, such as the government being rather left wing compared to my own, or that the sorts of cuisine that are popular would be a mixture of spanish foods in vogue in the late sixteenth and sevententh centuries mixed in with what the natives ate, and then with the development continued from there. I imagine that say, pastries with corn mixtures are quite popular, although that is just a guess.

I have never had such an occasion.

The1Kobra's IF said...

Dear invisible friend,

What are your thoughts on the bailout of the auto industry that was passed?

Do you get uncomfortable around crowds?

Do you like to keep pets?

Have you ever played D&D? If so, what are your thoughts on D&D 4.0?

What can change the nature of man?

Edit addition: Just out of curiosity, what would you do if you became an expert hacker
for a day?

I think I'm tired of talking about Bush.

It depends on the crowd and the situation.

Yes, I do.

Yes, I have. But that doesn't mean I have a formed opinion about 4.0.

That's a tricky question. I could answer what I think, or what I've heard or read other
people say. The former may be saying too much and I wouldn't feel comfortable with the
latter.

I'd take notes so that I could retain that knowledge in the future.

I suspect that due to a family reunion tomorrow night (Christmas Eve... good gods my extended family annoys me sometimes), and Christmas Day the day after that I shall not be posting answers for the course of those two days, but I might be able to slip one in on the 25th. I will still be receiving answers and pictures, of course.

[Gabi]

I'm not sure what pastries with corn mixtures would be like, but there are some details about our foods here, if you're interested. And congratulations on getting so many things right without cheating!


So... what do you think about DMFA?
Do you like writing? And reading?
What, in your opinion, makes a comic great? And a story?

[Noone]

Dear invisible friend...

What do you think of Uncyclopedia? (If you've heard of it)

Do you believe that computer games are a form of art?

Have you ever played chess?

If this is applicable, how have you found the process of applying for jobs?

Do you like to travel? Or prefer to stay close to home?

[e_voyager]

dear invisible friend

is everyone kung-fu fighting? if so why?
yes my jet is acutely part of my back. jet pack is good enough for it. do you want one?
i'm looking for someone do you have the 411?

I think it's funny.

Yes, except that there's a lot of unoriginality and plagiarism going on.

Sort of. I never got to learn all the rules.

I found it mostly by talking to people. But I've seen some signs an e-mails with job
offers.

I like travelling, but not by bus. Buses are a necessary evil, but they're too
uncomfortable for my liking (not to mention their slowness).

A kobra for a kobra... or more like a caricature of such.

Corgatha Taldorthar's IF sent...


And finally, darkdragon's IF said...

Dear the one who is veiled in shadows:

How would you make an objective distinction between "eloquent" and "not eloquent" when regarding people?

What do you consider as being one of the higher aspirations in life, and why?

What is a social norm that you do not completely agree with and on what grounds?

The current economic model holds no regard for the resources which is required to fuel the economy. Since the extraction of resources will, in some way or form, damage the environment, where is the happy medium which you find between the two evils?

What makes a person a person?

Dear the one who is bathed in light,

Obviously it's impossible to make a completely objective distinction,
but I would say that the use of correct grammar conventions when you
speak and the use of correctly spelled words and punctuation when typed.

I think being able to teach is a pretty high aspiration because it takes
a certain kind of person to be a teacher and it is also a very noble
thing to do, donating so much of your time for the benefit of others.

I don't agree with the need to be thin and "in shape."  Changing your
lifestyle and your body just to meet the norms of everyone else is just
wrong.

Once we find a way to reliably create electricity, be it via nuclear
power or hydrogen cells, we should be able to allow the environment to
rebuild itself.  Once the world can break its dependence on oil and the
need to expand, it should be fine.  I understand that there are some
nations that sill need to expand farmland, and that it understandable. 
What is unnecessary is expansion solely to create a surplus.

A person is a person when they have the ability to make decisions,
regardless of how simple the decisions are.  Even an infant makes
decisions, but they are mostly composed of "Will I eat this, or not?"
and other such simple binaries.

No paragraph this time.  Next time you'll get two.

Okay. Time for more Qs and As.

[Gabi]

One of the images is really cool!

Dear IF, will you please answer my previous set of questions?

Also, how was your week?

And what island is the star on?

[Noone]

Nice picture! Though, Cobras are spelled with a 'C', though I'm spelled with a 'K'.

Dear Invisible...
I've prepared some hypothetical questions for you, I hope you don't mind..

If some random person you didn't know punched you while you were walking down a street, then moved on, how would you react?

How would you respond if a poor, sickly looking person met you at a train station and begged for some money?

If someone kept running up to your home's door, pressed the doorbell many times, and ran away every time you came out, only to come back and ring the doorbell when you turned away, what would you do?

What would you do if from a window(or something along those lines), you saw three men, dressed up in black suits and wearing shades started to approach your home?

What would you do if during the middle of the night, you heard a loud scream?

If I used that picture you posted in either my signature or as my avatar, how much would you want to hurt me?

[Lisky]

well, seeing as we've still got a few more days to go, i guess i'll try a few deeper questions

At birth, are humans naturally good, and learn evil, or are they naturally evil, and then learn good?

If it is taboo to kill in most major monotheistic religions... why is it that more people have died in the name of these gods, than any other cause?

do you have any pets, if so, what kind?

have you done something in the past 2 weeks that seemed awesome at the time, was probably a bad idea, but will now give you a great story for the rest of your life?

... i guess i better get back to the eating babies thing... since it seems to be my re-occuring theme... while replying to this, on a scale of 1 to eating babies, how drunk are you?

[Jer-oh-me]

I liked Basilisk's idea.

Can you remember what the first online comic you read was?

Is your birthday within the next three months?

We're playing rock band, what position are you? Guitar, Bass, Vocals, Drums, Screaming Crowd, Impassive Objector?

Which of the pictures submitted the round did you like best?

Do you live closer to the Atlantic, or Pacific Ocean?

Do you like ZZ Top?

Waterballoon?

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

What is your favorite "classical" fantasy monster?

Have you ever traveled abroad? If so, to where?

I liked the picture you sent. Are you into surrealist/abstract art in eneral, or ws that just something that caught your eye.

Do you like sifting through old things?

Do you think you're good on the trail of *your* invisible friend?

How much do you sleep on an average 24 hour period?


Best wishes,
Corgatha Taldorthar.

[Lisky]

um... Jer-oh-me which of my idea's did you like? just out of curiosity

[VSMIT]

Dear Invisible Friend,
Have you ever played any Final Fantasy games?
If yes, which ones, if no, why not?
If your answer to the first question was yes, which was your favorite, and why?
Do you know what Zero Punctuation is?
If you do, which one is your favorite, if not, GO LOOK IT UP!

Thanks for playing.

[Jairus]

Okay, the contest ends in two days. So, those of you who have yet to get a picture in (you know who you are) should hurry up.

Also, the end of the contest might be delayed slightly: I will be on vacation, and have limited internet access. I was unaware of the relative lack of access when I volunteered to run the contest, so, my apologies in advance. I will still be able to end the contest (and if for some reason I cannot, I will find a way to alert you to that, and we could leave it open for a few more days or something like that). Actually, maybe I should ask Boxy if he could end it if I'm unable to... I'll ask him. Also, at this point it looks like I will be unable to participate in Round 36, but we'll see. Again, apologies.

Anyway, here's the next set of answers.

Well, that one's with a K. Are you gonna argue
with him?

I'd be surprised. After that, I dunno. Maybe shout or something.

I'd give them a coin if I had enough, and if there wasn't a queue of beggars waiting for
more.

Call Dr. Ink.

I'd look for aliens in the approximate vincinity.

I'd try to find out what happened.

It depends. What do I get in return? (OOC: not at all, just wait till the end of the
round, ok? I'm glad you liked it.)

Dear Invisible friend, SOrry for the delays, I've been away during the holidays for the most part.


It's great. Especially Alexsi

Both fun.

If I knew, I'd be writing my own webcomic and having people prostrating themselves before *me* :p

My week was stressful, and I have no idea what island that star is on. Nobody lives on those floating icicles anyway, right? :p

illogical. at birth human are lava to which the concepts of good and evil do no apply

because ia m right and you are wrong. if you disagree then my deity will prove it can kick your deity to the curb

i'm sorry i can not answer that as i may lead to my detention

sure you  see it started off well enough when... i'm sorry but it seems that the story i was about tell you have been classified a national secret.

[Gabi]

I wouldn't know about that. Maybe someone does. You'll find people just about everywhere. But don't worry, I didn't expect you to know. I was just testing how far I could go with the geography quiz. You don't mind, do you?

Anyway, I'm too tired to think of questions right now. What would you like to talk about?

[Darkdragon]

Dear one who stalks the night:

I apologize for losing Internet connection. There was a fierce snowstorm and we only got the connection back today. In time for the deadline.

Do you believe in coincidences? or Karma? Why or why not?

Attempt to define "Human" such that it distinguishes humans from other animals aside from biology.

Attempt to define "life" such that it contains all forms of life such from bacteria to humans but not include viruses and other life-like organisms.

Are you optimistic or pessimistic? Do you think it benefits or inhibits your social proceedings?

I'm going to ask about a slightly touchy subject and feel free not to answer this question if it really bothers you that much. Do you believe in free will? Everything which we do is dictated beforehand by the electrical signals which are whizzing though your brain about half a second before you think about preforming said act. In tested situations, the human mind is not in control (but is given an illusion of being in control) at least 40% of the time. And I believe in the clockwork universe theorem.

Which modern invention do you think you can live without, or else wish never was invented?

Which vice in a person do you despise the most?

Have you had fun during this round? Do you think you know who your IF is?

[Jairus]

*in Professor Farnsworth voice* Good news, everyone! I have internet access, and can wrap this contest up! And more good news, everyone! I am enjoying my vacation!

Okay, in other news, I will be unable to access the internet tonight, and will most likely be back tomorrow afternoon some time. So, any questions posted before midnight Pacific Time and any answers answered within twelve or so hours will be accepted. I'll post the last set of answers, and then you can all guess. That means you have about eleven hours to ask more questions and about twenty-three hours or so - actually, how about an even twenty-four hours, so 1 PM Pacific time tomorrow- to answer questions/send me your pictures. How's that sound?

Okay. Let's get on with this, shall we?

Have you had fun during this round? Do you think you know who your IF is?

I, like God, do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidence.

Impossible.  Because if I simply say that we have a mind that thinks
outside of simple instinct, that also includes many higher mammals, like
dolphins or chimpanzees.  There is nothing that we can do that no other
creature cannot.  Oh, wait.  I just figured it out.  Ambition.  Other
creatures have ambition (e.g.: the ambition to become pack alpha), but
non have the ambition to change their ecosystems like humans have.  Or
to look to change their fates and fortunes.  Human: n. A creature
created of raw ambition, a hunger for power which can never be fully sated.

A creature composed of at least one cell.  I will assume that you know
what constitutes a cell.

Yes, to both questions.

I believe that "free will" is both a misconception and an illusion.

I really don't know.  I feel unqualified to decide what I could try to
live without.  Once something disappears, you discover that you can't do
without it.  It's just what happens.

I truly dislike (I don't like using "hate" or "despise") people who
lie.  It generally means they're hiding something, and I am one of the
types of people who prefer to have a person respond that they can't
answer than give a straight out lie.

Yes, I had a lot of fun, and I think I know who mine is.

By the way, sorry for not finishing the two-page essay.  Kind of got
caught up in everything.

And they sent...
