Another Question Game

[kindofdoon]

Luckily, no.

Are you excited for Tron: Legacy?

[Haids1987]

Not really, but my sister is. I'll probably go see it with her.

What food makes you sick?

[LadyTerra]

KFC.  There's a spice in the batter that gets me sick, but we haven't figured out what it is yet.

What is your favorite animal?

[snabbott]

Kitties!

Do you like milk?

[Haids1987]

Eck, no, I hate it!  I remember being little and sitting at the table for an hour because I wasn't allowed to get up until I finished my milk.  I'd finally break down, plug my nose, and chug it as fast as I could.  *Shudder*  I like water, though.

What's your stripper name?

[kindofdoon]

...No.

What is the most exotic country, in your opinion?

[Haids1987]

What's your stripper name?

...No.

Dude, it's easy to come up with one! Just take the name of the street you lived on when you were born and the first pet you had.  Mine's Clue Sunkist.

<terrified voice>Does that mean I'm Velcro Danbury or Danbury Velcro?</terrified voice> Why!? Why do you know this?

Hrmm... most exotic country... Congo maybe? Or... quite possibly India.


Why has this thread been neglected so long? (Was it the stripper name thing? I bet it was. )

[Haids1987]

I don't know!  The one on the red forums was like 55 pages long, I don't get it!

<terrified voice>Does that mean I'm Velcro Danbury or Danbury Velcro?</terrified voice> Why!? Why do you know this?

Hmmmm, I'm not sure why I know this.  I know a lot of weird crap.  Wannabe librarian. And for the record, Danbury Velcro sounds schmexy.

I loved the Baby Sitters Club series! I don't have any of them anymore though. I didn't like how they repeated of the same information over and over. But the stories were tailored to that age group (tween girls)

How old were you when you first played King Quest?

[tessspoon]

8 or 10 maybe? Not sure, seems like I've always played VII (my first)

Do you own a lot of shoes?

[Haids1987]

Nope. not an excessive amount.  Maybe like 6 or 7 pair.

What time period do you find most interesting?

[Delling]

Time period as in epoch, age, etc.? Hrmm... ancient times... the ancient world. I'm most curious about anything pre-Sumeria/Ur (some of the earliest known civilizations)... but as for time period that we know stuff about in a more definitive way ... I'd say it's a tie with medieval era (Europe and the Orient... possibly the Americas as well (don't really know much about American aboriginal history myself)) and Ancient Greece + surrounding cultures.


Should I never have coffee again ever or always have a cup of coffee no matter how late it might make me?

[snabbott]

You should continue having coffee! Perhaps you should invest in a travel mug, though. And if you really want to save time in the mornings, you can get a coffee maker that starts automatically at a preset time.

Do you has a kitteh?

[Delling]

I dursnt. 'Tis a problem

Do you has a kitteh? (since I sort of leapt in there)

[tessspoon]

Noes

Have you seen the Back to the Future movies?

[Deloria]

Yes. I remember thinking "Oh, that sounds like my screen name, but accusative. " The plot was too repetitive to keep me interested and I spent ages obsessing over the inaccuracies as I am wont to do when time travel doesn't make sense (the latest Dr Who Christmas Special annoyed me very much).

What's your screen name in the accusative of your preferred language?

[Haids1987]

Hmmm, Deloria, I'm not sure what you mean by that.    But my screen name is Haids1987 almost everywhere.

What movie do you secretly love but are embarrassed to admit it?  (Don't lie, you know you have one!)

[Delling]

Hmmm, Deloria, I'm not sure what you mean by that.    But my screen name is Haids1987 almost everywhere.

The accusative is the case of the direct object (I hit the ball. Orbem futo. (Instead of: Orbis me futat. The ball hits me.) caveat lector: orbis is likely NOT the basic Latin word for "ball", but I am not going to look it up: those who know will have to suffer(or correct me at their leisure), those who don't will have to live in doubt.)

In order to answer Deloria's question, we would first have to cast "Haids" into a language which has an accusative (Latin, Greek, Russian, Romanian, Lithuanian, the list goes on and on) which would mean picking a declension, stem, etc., and then we must further cast it into the accusative case.

Taking Classical Greek, for example: "Haids" is clearly third declension though it needs a little work. "-ds" could be a zeta, but I find it more plausible that the stem is "Haid-". Dentals (t and d) are dropped when they meet the nominative ending -s, so Haid- + -s becomes "Hais" (h-eye-ss). Then, the accusative is "Haida" (heye-duh). We may now put "Hais" into any case we like as such:

NOM:Hais
GEN:Haidos
DAT:Haidi
ACC:Haida
VOC:Hai

En effet, your name follows the same declensional pattern as pais, paidos - child (which shows up as "ped-" in a great many English technical terms).

It's "pila". It was one of the first words I ever learned.
