Atheist Forums Accent Tag! Round 2

[Thumpalumpacus]

Yeah, the lisp is from bad teeth, and the limp from a bone disease which took up quarters in my right hip a couple of years ago.

Bone disease.... that's a nasty thing.
Hope the great outdoors helps.

It does indeed. The disease is avascular necrosis, which is bone-death as a result of insufficient bloodflow. Hiking, always one of my favorite activities, stimulates the circulation, so that while it's painful as I'm doing it (at work, no less -- I get paid for it!), it both slows down the progress of the disease, and helps my hip feel better the next day.

I've had to give up cycling, but I'll be damned if I'm going to let a disease otherwise dictate to me the terms of life.

Where?

HA!! I copied the link and then forgot to include it in the post, sorry :p

Get back to me when we've decided on the question list.

I'm thinking we should simply circulate the list and let respondents answer the ones they wish. Trying to find consensus on fifteen questions from multiple members strikes me as pretty difficult.

[Ravenshire]

I think we'll also get more respondents if we go with 10 instead of 15. We can always do another round with the same list, but you have to pick a different 10.

HAHA
Q: If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A: Lunch!

A: Pizza!

So many different ways to make it, all of them still (technically) the same thing.

Much respect for your approach and I'm sorry to hear about your illness.

This. I think all of these questions are interesting and this way everyone could answer the ones they have the most to say about. Also the choice of the questions would tell us something about the person as well.

Damn it, you guys are going to make me read that whole list and put actual thought into my choices? :p

[SteelCurtain]

I am uploading the video right now. It's 10 mins long and 1.5GB, so it will take a minute... I have the thread ready to go, though. Soon!

Woah, already? Awesome, Steel! I'm planning to record mine on Saturday.

We really should start a new thread with this.

[Losty]

Why do we need a new thread? I don't want to have 3 different threads to thumb through when I want to watch you guys again. And no "Stimbo's epic and sexy and adorably awesome accent challenge video" doesn't work on the search function, I already tried it.

[SteelCurtain]

I have a new thread for the Q&A Tag ready to go when the video is done uploading. My camera shot in high res and my upload speed is like .5 meg, so it's looking like its going to take quite a while. Like 10 hours.... I'm at 1%.

I think we need a new thread for the Q&A tags to keep them separate from the Accent tags. It'll be a whole two threads.

[Losty]

It will be 3 as this is the second accent tag thread. *cries*
Fine, MC, fine... can I at least get some more gyop (or whatever the letters were) from you?

*gpoy?
