You're I, Robot!

by Isaac Asimov

While you have established a code of conduct for many generations to
follow, your demeanor is rather cold and calculating. Brought up to serve humans, you
have promised never to harm them, to follow orders, and to protect yourself. Living up
to this code has proved challenging and sometimes even drives you mad. If you were a
type of paper, you would be pulp.


Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.

Okay, with Land of the Dead starting this weekend I thought it was time for a zombie quiz.

"Seek help, Eric." - chats_noirs

Damn, making quizzes is addictive. Two new EEK productions:

Which Bond Girl Are You?

Which Bond Guy Are You?

Thought I'd give this whole quiz thing a try (and exercise my ego at the same time!).

What kind of Vampire Earth Hunter are you?

Another list yanked from suricattus because my sweat-encrusted braincase is vapor-locked thanks to the gawdawful humidity and I don't feel like thinking.

"Things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal.."

5- Cooking. Getting all medieval on some vegetables is rather soothing.
4- A workout followed by either a swim (involves a bit of a drive nowadays, sadly) or a schvitz.
3- Horror movies or books.
2- Pretty much anything with John Wayne or Kurt Russell. Especially the latter. Do I have latent homosexual issues with the guy or what?
1- A Random Act of Kindness.


Suricattus left out the bleedin' obvious and in deference to her taste I will too.

LITERARY SEX FIEND You scored 82 bookishness and 92 kinkiness!

Alright, you love books, you completely dig great sex...and both at the same time is even better, n'est-ce pas? According to my calculation, you are SEX ON WHEELS...the wheels of a book truck, that is. Come find me...I have a key to the building, baby. ;)

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 88% on bookishness You scored higher than 99% on kinkiness

Which 'King of the Hill' character are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

Back safe from Memphis. Got in just before midnight. I'll update extensively at some point, but it's a beautiful day, chats_noirs has the day off, and I think we're just going to enjoy the weather for a bit.

Meanwhile, swiped from paleologa:


You are ALTON BROWN, host of "Good Eats"!
Geeky and quirky, a former indie film director
turned foodie, you seek to put science to work
for you in your kitchen. You concentrate on
proper technique, and understanding why it
works. You also take pride in using your
clever wit to debunk popular (read: INCORRECT)
thought about cooking. Youre just a little bit
of a pedagogue, but thats cool, you know what
the hell youre doing.


Which Food Network Personality are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

In all honesty, I think I queered two questions in order to be Alton. Bad ego! Bad! Bad!

To quote Kate:

Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy:
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.

And Kate, how 'bout that album, huh? Before the only way I can dance to it is with a walker? Please?

I'm going to spare you a list of current symptoms and instead present another quiz yanked from suricattus


Robert Heinlein wrote you - your stranger in a
strange land, you.
