No, visible mold in cheese seems to act like some sort of cheese Kryptonite to me.

Yep, and I unfortunately kept smoking…I kow it is bad for me, I know I should quit…before the the comments come firing at me.

3. Do you own a gun?
No, and I hope I never have to. Of course if the Dead rise from their graves I would get one, but, in that case, I think most would, so i wouldn’t feel that bad about it.

    Well, oddly…. when I am around people who need to be the center of attention in an annoying way. Maybe I should give them the green bum. What do you think?

    I forgot to comment on the torture of now knowing there is such a think as steak potato pie. Good lord! What evil have you uncovered. Must… have… steak… potato… pie. (with ketchup and cheddar cheese!)

  • Paul Rees-Jones replied

    I believe in the green bum…and with this green bum we shall enter a new world of acceptance and peace…Long Live the Green BUM!!!

    ...and yes…steak and potato pie is the most yummiest of meat lovers dishes ever invented in the western cicilization…(I apologize now to all Vegans everywhere)

    47. What is your favorite sports team?
    Okay this is personal…I do not watch sports…I am a guy…and I do not watch sports…I am sorry.

    dont apologise – I’m an ozzy and dont like “footy”, beer, or blokes stuff. My favourite colours are things like peach, aqua, padparadsha etc. Hey, but like you, I’m all male! Enjoyed the read !:)

  • Paul Rees-Jones replied

    Yay for us! Obviously we are secure in our Maleness! LOL…

  • Chris Cohen

    Chris Cohen

    the best bit about it is that the vast majority of my friends are female – my best mate (a bloke) and I have a terrific friendship and to see us together you’d swear we were more than “just friends” but we are both secure in ourselves so as not to confuse the mutal enjoyment of each others company for anything else. How cool is that? !:)
