5. Why woodworking?

robertthebard · 07-12-2006, 08:03 AM

I think it runs with my "artistic" side. I've done carpentry work for most of my life, and when I got sick, I had a big cedar post in my basement. I figured that I should use it for something, and cutting it down for chess sets seemed like the easiest thing to do. It's all "smallish" work, and I can do it in my basement, which means I don't have to be outside to do it, which would preclude me from doing it, since I can't be outside for extended periods. All in all, it's a good fit, and I don't suck at it...

Let's hear from Shadowhound next, I think.

2. Do you usually tip waiters (or anyone else for that matter) and how much?

shadowhound · 07-13-2006, 09:30 AM

5... or 1. Well I am going to asume that wasnt originally aimed at me but I will answer none the less, no not maried, currently single. Not ready for a serious relationship yet.

2. Well here in Australia I dont think its a common thing to tip, perhaps in the bigger cities but not in the town I live in. So no I dont tip.

@Hivetyrant, just in case; No, I'm currently single, and liking it.

3. Cheeseburgers or Filet Mignon. I may ask this every time, as it's a pretty telling question to seem so innocent.

3. Thats probably the hardest question I am going to be asked

I love cheeseburgers to death but how could I say no to a Filet Mignon... mmm steak. Yep give me the Filet Mignon.

Why is it so telling? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] What exactly does it tell you? Like, what did my answer tell you apart from the fact that I'm not much on steak but I also don't like fast food cheesburgers?

It's a person type indicator. Material based, gotta have the best of the best will always choose Filet over Cheeseburgers. People that choose cheeseburgers will tend to be more down to earth, and less concerned with worldly possessions, etc. In Shadowhound's case, the choice wasn't so much the Filet, as steak in general, according to the response. It's an insight into the type of person, not that one or the other is good or bad, there is no right answer, it's just a look deeper into them than they might ordinarily allow somebody to get...
