I almost never go on Skype, since I'm using my laptop in public places (like school or the library) for most of the day. You'll say hi to Mode and the other non-IRC folks for me, won't you?

Of course I will, Jana. You're alright by me. I don't care what those Irish kids say about you.

I have a question for the middle-aged dude: Why no love for the kippy? Tear.

Cheat. After saying "but I won't do that", repeatedly and cryptically, it's not until the dialog at the end of the song that we find out what it is:

Quote from: I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)

[Girl]
After awhile you'll forget everything.
It was a brief interlude
And a midsummer night's fling,
And you'll see that it's time to move on.

[Boy]
I won't do that. I won't do that.

[Girl}
I know the territory, I've been around,
It'll all turn to dust and will all fall down,
Sooner or later, you'll be screwing around.

[Boy]
I won't do that. No, I won't do that.

I would argue that, since that is not something one would do for love, what you paraphrase is not the actual answer to the question but merely a different line altogether that merely fits well into the song because it features "I won't do that". The thing the regular chorus talks about could very well be something else.

Cheating is definitely something you can do for love - if by that we mean "searching for love". If you read the lyrics, he talks a great deal about his passion for this woman, and his ups and downs with her. He's saying that no matter what happens, he's not going to stray in search of new love; that it's more important to him to stay loyal to her than it would be to seek the possibility of new love elsewhere.

Team Rocket, no question. They're drawn, so they don't sleep. Freddie wouldn't stand a chance.

Separately, what would you say your favorite Touhou fan theories are? Like Meiling being a dragon, or Utsuho's Third Leg breaking causing a nuclear apocalypse, etc.

Breaking my right arm and right leg at the same time. That hurt so god damned bad I can't even fully remember the pain anymore. And the fact that I did it playing tag just makes it more embarrassing (and by that I mean, I tried to "tag" my cousin from above by leaping off of a balcony).

I like Yukari = Maribel most of all. It's got just enough convincing evidence to be plausible but still enough holes to cast serious doubts on it. And I like the almost Lynchian quality of the theory; a young girl falls asleep and dreams a world where she's a powerful figure, and this person becomes a separate entity from her. I'd love to make that into a non-fanfiction story some day.

So what's your retirement plan like? How much did you start out with, how much do you contribute per paycheck?

I have no clue if Iceland has a wonderful retirement system like the rest of Europe or if you have to save up for it yourself with some kind of Social Security-esque system.

Any advice for easy tax breaks?

I dunno which Europe you are talking about, but it's not the same I live in, and I would like to move there if you can tell me where it is O__O

On topic: 30 posts per page or 50 posts per page? Which is superior??

Sisko.

We actually agree on something?

Although I have to pull out my NERD card and declare that Sisko wasn't technically a Captain until halfway through the show. And even then he ran a space station, not the flagship of the Federation. That being said he was a complete badass and his episode with Q is probably the best episode ever. Watching him show no patience for Qs antics and putting his ass in place was glorious.
