saw this in enough places, finally caved to it....
1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favourite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You WILL update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.
questions below are from
stellaluna 1. What's your favorite funny story involving Da?
There are lots-- although my funniest are with Pud, who died a few years back (and brought me Da, I am convinced.) I guess if I had to pick one from Da it would be the time she missed the doorway when running around the house and smacked headfirst into the wall. *run run run KATHUNK* I guess the best part is she bounced off and kept going, skittering around the corner she originally missed like nothing happened. Didn't see her for a while after though-- bruised ego, I guess.
2. What's your favorite book?
Tough choice-- but I guess it'll have to be Michael Pollan's
"Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye view of the World". (Except it's not about desire at all... deceptive title.)
3. Why did you start collecting ducks?
It wasn't exactly a conscious choice of mine, really. I used to carry a tiny beany duck in my pocket when I was a freshman in high school because I liked the soft feel of it. I even kicked/beat up on a senior officer nearly twice my size when I had to rescue it from the trash one day. A couple of my friends started referring to me as "Ducky" because of the duck, and a few of them started bringing me them on occasion. I was sorta ambivelant about the whole thing for a while, and then grew to like the variation of them-- there's so many different kinds out there. And then I discovered Devil Ducks and they made it so much more cooler. :-D
4. What are your favorite moments/scenes of Mac/Danny interaction on the show?
In no particular order:
-- Danny lighting Mac on fire because Mac practically begs him to offers
-- Danny throwing baseballs and Mac clocking them with the speed gun
-- Where Mac "demonstrates" the defensive moves the dead marine would have used on Danny, and gets all gleeful and pats him on the shoulders like 'good show'
-- Hug outside the hospital
-- When Danny finds Mac and Flack in the building rubble in CotP, doggedly persevering, and ignoring the civilian guy
-- Fight/'off the grid' thing in "On the Job"
-- "Pay Up", says Mac-- bet about the bug food
-- The phone call on the subway in "Risk"
Just about any time when they're working together, cooperating, and interacting in interesting ways.
5. You win an all-expenses-paid trip around the world. Aside from visiting friends, what are the top five places you would want to go?
In no particular order:
New York
Australia-- especially the Great Barrier Reef
London
Japan
one of the tropical rainforest areas (multiple countries)
