OT - Psychological Profile Questions
Mates,
Last year we did a very serious study of mgobloggers with a set of psychological profile questions. The answers were analyzed by a group of equally serious experts, and a new set of questions have been put together. You might ask, how serious were the experts, well let me tell you the finest minds from the APA, AMA, B10, the CIA and some BAMF's also were tasked with analyzing this group.
The newest questions are these:
1. What is your favorite store?
2. Excepting Mgo, what is your favorite website?
3. Tattoos or no tattoos (you or your S.O./spouse). Extra points if you post a picture as long as it's not sexy bits type of stuff
4. Complete the following sentence: A horse, a fig-thing, a buckeye and a sparty walk into a bar, and the horse walks up to the bartender and says, "__________________________"
5. This is a control question, necessary because a non-zero % of you answered last time that you preferred creamy peanut butter over crunchy. Here goes: From a scale of 1-10 on preferences of spicy foods where '1' represents completely bland food, like the rice your mom gave you when you were getting over being sick and a '10' is a five-alarm fire habanero chili, fire breathing dragon of spiciness, where do you fall?

You must have something better to do with your time today than writing psychological profile questions. I would think that after a long winter you would be having fun outdoors. So what does it say about me that I have nothing better to do than read your questions? Never mind, I don't want to know.
I have been outdoors since sunrise. Besides Farm stuff I also did a hillbilly triathlon and took the five youngest kids to the lake. They’re watching the end of a movie I don’t really care to see so I thought I'd have five minutes of fun.
Mic drop moment… oh, snap!
As I suspected. I'm the one with a boring life. The five youngest kids? How are you not exhausted? Curious as to what events are included in a hillbilly triathlon.
we don't live on the water but of course up north there are lakes everywhere. so a hillibilly triathlon (my name for it, don't blame anyone else) is a mountain bike ride and a run around the farm and/or area. then later in the day when i make it to a swimmable body of water, getting some form of an open water swim, figure 1/2 mile to 1 mile, depending on time, day, weather, body of water, how many kids are with me, etc.
I was guessing it was something inspired by user MgoHillbilly:

2) bourbon

5. This is a control question, necessary because a non-zero % of you answered last time that you preferred creamy peanut butter over crunchy.

"Do you have toilet paper? Taking a dump, I couldn't get everything off my tail."
5. A 7 but it doesn't matter to my ex-mother-in-law who, because the first time we met I declined a spicy dish, and she ever after decided I didn't like spicy foods.

Amazon: shopping for just about anything from my couch - delivered quckly to my lazy self for zero dollars.
Wall Street Journal. Followed closely by Car and Driver and Zillow (or some other RE website).
Zero body ink on either of us. And. The only piercings are in female earlobes so that you can adorn her with lovely things to highlight her face.
"Hay!". To which the Barman replies, "Sorry, kitchen's already closed for the night and isnt it pasture you bedtime?"
(Merde, that was awful, I apologize)
About a 2. I like to taste my food and was told as a child that spicey foods are an attempt to conceal that the underlying food is either spoiled or poor quality. Eh, I guess I was a gullible kid!
1. Depends on what. I like buying as many things as possible directly from the people that produce them, so I use a ton of different sources.
2. Tie between memeorandum, mediagazer, and techmeme. All great media aggregators in their respective fields with multiple sources for stories to cross-reference for bias.
3. Tons of tattoos.
4. "Help, these guys want to get me drunk and take advantage of me"
5. 12. Spinal Tap 11 plus one. I've grown and eaten most kinds of superhot peppers so there are few kinds of heat that phase me.
user name definitely checking out: 12. Spinal Tap 11 plus one. I've grown and eaten most kinds of superhot peppers so there are few kinds of heat that phase me.
1. Grocery Outlet
2. The Root, The Onion
3. 0 (me)/innumerate (wife). She is way inked up, except for her face.
4. "Hey Joe, it's actually us, Desmond and Charles in a horse suit. Mind if we leave these guys behind like we did on the field?"
5. 8
1. Amazon/Home Depot
2. Cracked
3. No ink on either of us.
4. Would you believe we are all in the B1G now?
5. I’m good with 7 on the fire scale.
1. tied. liquor store and lowes
2. uhhh pubmed probably. the only place to get straight facts if you can critically think. Also great for challenging your own preconceived notions. Or youtube for music, videos, etc
3. lots ….. wife has 2 or 3 small ones no one ever sees but me. not posting anything but I’ll describe one. I have the state flag of Michigan on my chest above my heart. Probably 6 x 8 inches and runs up on my neck it’s so big
4. “fuck these guys amirite? Go blue”
5. Seven or 8. I can eat really hot food (think Chettinand Indian) but there comes a point where you lose flavor and it’s just hot to be hot and that’s dumb. I like food and spices and also like to taste them.
1. Flight Club. It's for sneakers, not strip club near the airport.
2. Mlb Trade Rumors dot com
3. We each have 3. I have inner L forearm, inner R bicep, and R deltoid. We also got our noses pierced for our 40th birthdays. I got my septum, and she got her nostril.
4. "Ladies, if you need help just order "Special Shot" and we'll call the authorities."
5. 5. I'm a wuss when it comes to hot foods.
1. The grocery store, I guess. I can't think of anywhere else I go consistently.
2. Uh, you said no sexybits
3. Not my scene. I find them a turn-off on women. But this guy on Reddit posted a Mr. Met design he had done on his leg, and that was pretty sweet.
4. You can probably guess why the long face.
5. 11. I've only had one thing in my life that really blew me away heat wise. The Spanish teacher at my wife's school also owns a farm nearby. She's from Peru, and she makes this special corn relish that just about cratered me. That was a decade ago, and I still haven't recovered.
Peruvian heat is next level. If she used these little devils watch out.
The non-white guy version of some dishes in Thailand also recommended. Those bird's eye chiles are wonderful. They are about 10x a jalapeno and about half an habenero, which is just about perfect to control the heat of the dish.
Nice pics. I use bird's eye chiles when making batches of pinto beans. Not sure if that makes culinary sense, but the flavor & heat combo works for me.
Full disclosure... I make Thai curry dishes on a weekly basis. If you ain't cryin', you aint't try'n.
figures the cyborg is into hot stuff. you probably can't feel it on your fake flesh. cheater.

+1 for Traverse City. I've done so many things to bring down the reputation of that town I'll upvote just on principle.
I would go with the Beverage Company /Blue Goat and Max Bauers if we are being provincial.
1. What is your favorite store?
cole haan
2. Excepting Mgo, what is your favorite website? There are other websites? I’m pretty sure this is the entirety of the internet.
3. Tattoos or no tattoos (you or your S.O./spouse). Extra points if you post a picture as long as it's not sexy bits type of stuff. None, and dislike them. Outside of maybe a small ankle tat or something, I find them extremely unattractive. Just a personal preference
4. Complete the following sentence: A horse, a fig-thing, a buckeye and a sparty walk into a bar, and the horse walks up to the bartender and says, " I’m a shit coach. "
5. This is a control question, necessary because a non-zero % of you answered last time that you preferred creamy peanut butter over crunchy. Here goes: From a scale of 1-10 on preferences of spicy foods where '1' represents completely bland food, like the rice your mom gave you when you were getting over being sick and a '10' is a five-alarm fire habanero chili, fire breathing dragon of spiciness, where do you fall? 6-7, but am game for a 10 if there’s flavor. A “Nashville spice” of 10 which is just heat: no. But an indian spicing of 10? Yeah, I’m game.
Agreed in general about tattoos, I'm always surprised by the number of awful tattoos revealed during a day at the beach

3. No tatts bc I don’t know what id get which makes me feel like an outlier among fellow mid-millennials, whose tattoos are already aging poorly
4. Complete the following sentence: A horse, a fig-thing, a buckeye and a sparty walk into a bar, and the horse walks up to the bartender and says, "I heard sparty asked for a coach. I dropped him out front."

4. A horse, a fig-thing, a buckeye and a sparty walk into a bar, and the horse walks up to the bartender and says, "I'll have a Four Roses Single Barrel and Zimas for the guys."
5. My taste buds say 8-9. My internal organs disagree and say 5-6.

No tats. Don’t mind them but don’t really understand the appeal or the point of them.
Sorry. Not feeling creative.
