Yes
On one hand, I now know you a bit better. On the other hand, this was so long and tedious I’m not even remotely going to try to throw in my own answers. The general vibe I got from you was that you said yes to all the ones where a reasonable person would have said yes, and no, to all the ones where a reasonable person would say no. Sounds reasonable to me!

Re: Yes
One tries to be reasonable. I always try, anyway. 🙂 And I got fairly chatty in the comments, which was the only reason I bothered to post it.
Thanks for reading the whole thing. It’s useful to be better known.
cjdoyle
Man, that’s a meme and half. Good for backfilling some info on people you don’t know particularly well, though.
For example, I had no idea you liked burritos. Now I know.
Rob Wynne
Dude, it’s like spicy meat and cheese wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. What’s NOT to like.
I even like the faux-burritos at places like Qdoba.

E-flat diminished ninth.
The E-flat, it’s… it’s doable. But it’s that diminished ninth, you know… it’s a man’s chord. You could lose a finger.

Seriously, dude, I laughed out loud at this:
× I would be in a relationship with one of my pets if they were human. (My pets are entirely too neurotic for me to want to date them.)
Damn true of Dayna. I don’t know Jenna at all, since she hides under the bed. But I will say that Tarrant is kinda strange, though not as bad as his sister. But he is mean to Cally. 🙁
