My favourite episode of the Simpsons is every one. Sorry, but it'd be like choosing your favourite kidney.
Simpsons or Futurama? Obviously, there's only one correct answer to this question, but I'll take opinions...

Ah well, he deserves it for not watching the Simpsons.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how attractive would you say you are, honestly?

Westchester, NY. It's not so much a place that floods as one that gets heavy rainstorms, and my house is poorly designed when it comes to keeping water out of the basement.
Where does shine really live? Somehow I am dubious of it being Cambodia. |

Definitely. I can't think of the Catholics, then again most of Frank's career without thinking somewhat of EDF. And when I think rock and roll, I think Frank.

The egg. But then I'm not a creationist.
Do you consider yourself a member of any particular religion? If so, which one? If not, do you have any important non-organized spiritual beliefs?

Uh, No, I guess.
It's been 6 months and 17 days, how long before I have sex again (of course, other than with myself)? |

As long as it takes.
What kind of chair are you sitting in? How do you sit? I usually end up with one leg curled up with my foot on the seat -not very good posture.

My computer chair is an old ass swivel chair, it's reall smal, no arm rests and it is made of some weird leather. I think it's like 30 years old or something.
APL, I'm not satisfied with you answer to my question, even though I know you're right...
Do you like the smell of your own body odor? Esp. your own arm pits?
And as a follow up, do you wear deoderant, (I can't, I'm allergic)? |

No, no, yes but not anti-perspirant (didn't we already do this?).
Do you have a view? What's the coolest thing you can see? |

Yeah. I have a veiw. Frommy back deck I can see the Blue Ridge Mountains. Lots of trees. And no city lights. The sky is amazing here, the clouds, and the storms. I saw the most amazing double rainbow like 2 weeks ago. It's beautiful here, a indigent depressive desolate social life, but a great motherfucking veiw, whereever you are...
(aren't we allowed to ask similiar or very similar questions or is that against our rules???)
How do you find out if someone with whom you work with is a Lesbian or not, without being rude (I really like her too, she's our brand new golf Pro. that adds a little twist but still..)??? |

Just ask her on a date. If she says no, then you don't have to feel so bad if there's the possibility that she's a lesbian; she didn't reject you, she rejected your entire gender. (Breaking my smily rule, just in case. Don't want to offend. Smily here.) If she thinks less of you for asking, then she isn't such a good friend after all, no matter what her preference is. She should be flattered, either way. Good luck.
I recently worked directly with customers on a big project. There were all kinds of things similar to LBF's question, in a way. Trying to guess what they want to hear, keeping things within our company and not the client's. I got into trouble more than once for just telling the truth and asking directly what I wanted to know. Why do we have to have the concept of "tact" (a synonym for bullshit, if you ask me)?

I have thought about this one for a while, due to recent events in the workplace. I have come to the conclusion that the nature of power structures permit underqualified people to band together and attempt to create and control the facade of competency. This is why golf and business are so frequently intertwined. These people are used to addressing business in a backroom at-the-barbecue fashion, and any attempt to bring things above board might (they feel) expose them for the charlatans they are.
So, to keep the executives well in their comfort zone, you must soft-speak. Thus, to prevent any nervousness due to fear of exposure, we use tact, and keep our jobs (while working for the bureaucrats). I have worked for people with a spine before who encouraged me to be direct, so it got to be a habit. This hurt in the next job, but while I was in an environment that supported this approach, it proved to be consistently leaps and bounds more effective to getting to what everyone needed so we could get what we needed underway. This approach jarred the people that expected (or needed) the dance, but for the people who know what the fuck they are doing they bonded to us immediately, and we have worked very well together to this day, regardless of job changes, etc.
The exceptions to this would be asking direct questions which could reveal corporate or state secrets, or lose leverage in the negotiation process with this client or vendor.

| (i think asking someone's sexuality, who you don't know very well, might require some tact. it's not about bullshit. it's just, that's a personal question. and, in today's lawsuit-friendly work environment, you could possibly even get into some trouble for that. if you were like, "are you a lesbian?" i do agree with you about being straightforward though spudboy. people always appreciate it, and things get done. there are always politics that you have to dance around thoguh. that's unavoidable) |

(that was very tactless spudboy. ok, i'll keep the ball rolling..)
i actually HAVE urinated my pants as an adult. not something i care to admit actually. but let's just say it involved drinking LOTS of alcohol and being in police custody. that's all i'm going to say on the matter. this was years ago.
