(1) Can I see your ID?
Yes, even though I'm older than you.
(2) Did you know you look like you're about eight years old?
Mostly I hear 22 (from guys in bars), although 16 is another favorite guess. But thank you very much for playing.
(3) Where are you from?
Just like CCR, I was "born in the bayou." Grew up outside of Abbeville, LA.
(4) From Louisiana? But you don't have an accent!
No, sorry. And it doesn't come out when I get drunk, either. If I talk to my mother on the phone I can sort of fake it, but I'm actually much better at faking Southern accents. I never even heard a Southern accent (in person) till I was 16.
As to why I don't have an accent, it's basically because my mother's mother thought they made you sound like an idiot, so she more or less beat it out of her daughters.
(5) Did you see [that movie] last year?
Probably.
(6) Can I make fun of your school's sports team?
If you're trying to make me get defensive, you probably shouldn't. I care less about sports than any other human on the planet.
(7) Are you and Steve dating?
"No, we're just good friends." I'm not dating my other housemate either. It's just an anti-Three's Company without Don Knotts.
(8) Did you see that Seinfeld/Simpsons/Friends where...
Yes, and I can quote the relevant lines too.
(9) Are you really that cynical?
I'm actually much worse.
(10) Can I buy you a drink?
Feel free, but I still won't sleep with you.

Date: 2003-04-18 09:26 pm (UTC)Of course, that mostly goes for things like keeping up with team sports. I really enjoy fencing, both watching and participating. I have no idea who the premier fencers in the world are right now, though.

Me=Red Stick. In my former southern life. I have actually voted for Edwards (since the choice was him or Duke).
(4) From Louisiana? But you don't have an accent!
This is my all time least favorite question in the world, especially when it implies: "but you're wearing shoes and can read, so you can't be from the South."
Saw your comments in my poll- how'd you find me, anyway? I see you live in SEA but we don't appear to share any LJ friends, which sorta suprises me.

(And I've only been out of the south a year, so when people are surprised I don't have an accent it was normally not an insinuated slur against 'em.)

Confirming Richard Feynmann's theory about buying women drinks.
