Seems to be a lot of introductions and specific requests on this thing recently. Let's change things up a bit. Here's a few general questions for the masses:

1. If you could travel to any time period, when would it be and why?
2. If you could have any superpower, what would you want? Why?
3. What's your stripper name? Name of your first or favorite pet/stuffed animal + the name of the street you grew up on. Mine's 'Bear Handley'.

Feel free to comment on everybody else's answers. That's what's supposed to make forums like this interesting.

1. I can hold my own, but not against a Viking.
2. Perhaps, but I could ask first. I wouldn't want to make anyone upset.
3. I'm not a kid, I'm eighteen.

[atms]

How did you make it to eighteen without learning what a stripper is? You're not Amish or something, are you?

[burntbridges]

Whatever that is, I'm not. But I am a bit sheltered. Perhaps whatever a stripper is hasn't been invented yet in my world, or perhaps it simply didn't make it to my town.

[atms]

If I say "the oldest profession in the world", you'd answer with... ?

[burntbridges]

Oracles.

Or prostitutes. Did you mean prostitutes?

They're both very old professions.

[atms]

I was thinking prostitutes.

Strippers are technically sex workers, same as hookers. They just strip and dance for people instead of screwing them.

[burntbridges]

I'm not sure I follow all of that, but... I believe you're talking about an exotic dancer.

[Hooker, strip and screwing are all words she doesn't know.]

And in that case I'm confused.. is a 'stripper name' some sort of joke I'm misunderstanding?

[atms]

That's another word for them.

Apparently. You ever been on Facebook? MySpace?

[burntbridges]

You've lost me again. I'm beginning to think explaining this is too much trouble for either of us.

[atms]

Let me try and simplify things. Where and when are you from?

[burntbridges]

Thornwell, England - in the year 1853.

[atms]

And there's the problem. I'm from America in the 21st century.

Exotic dancers in my time tend to have ridiculous stage names.

[burntbridges]

That would explain it... I suppose I can't participate in the joke, then. And I've already spoiled it a bit.

Is there any reason you're asking the other questions?

[atms]

Boredom, mostly.
