Dave's 15 Question End Of Year Meme
So, in an attempt to start a new and more amusing end of year meme, here are fifteen questions on 2015...
1) What did you do that got you on Santa's Nice list this year?
Well, was my mother-in-law's carer, and tried to be nice and help people...
2) What did you do that got you on Santa's Naughty list this year?
Well, there was this fucking cyclist who got the sharp edge of my tongue a couple of months ago.
3) Is your arse smarting from a visit from the Krampus (or local variant) this year?
Nope, but I know someone who is...
4) What is the most surprising factual discovery about the world that you made this year?
Anal penetration cures hiccups. Don't ask. It puts a new spin on the Blackadder line about Edmund's mother only getting her leg over cos she told her husband it was a cure for hiccups.
5) What is the nicest thing someone or anyone did for you this year?
Too many to name, but I was very touched by a salute from Lynette Nusbacher atone point in August.
6) What is the funniest thing from 2015 - be it something that happened to you, a gag you heard, or whatever?
That moment when there's a keypad above a door, but the door is fixed open so you only have to turn the knob, and people don't know this, so they stand there pressing the buttons and waiting for a beep... until I say "let me help," whip out the sonic screwdriver, buzz the door, and then turn the knob to open it. The look on people's faces...
7) Did you manage to (not) commit any of the seven deadly sins this year?
If I didn't complete the set, I've done something very wrong. I like the lust one the best though- you can keep the others.
8) What's the best meal you had this year?
Dinner at the Royal Victoria Hotel in Sheffield in July. What was on the table was as good as what was going on under it.
9) There must be someone who deserves a special mention and virtual medal- nominate at least one here.
cheyenne7 deserves all the fucking medals. End of.
10) Er... oh, Commandments go with Ten- how many have you managed to break, and did you manage it in a particularly comedic way?Bonus points if you did.
I keep forgetting what they are... I know I haven't killed anybody this year... I definitely do a lot of coveting and breaking the sabbath and taking names in vain... Oh, and, yes, I know thereare actually more than ten commandments, between the various versions.
That said, if we say kill in virtual terms, at the fencing tournament at Yule Ball, where we were supposed to be going for wounds instead of kills, well... I've beenmarried to Lesley for 15 years come February, it was just natural instinct to get the instant throat-shot kill.
11) What's the most embarrassing thing that happened to you, that you're happy to share for laughs?
It may be the same answer as the previous one!
12) What do you want in 2016 that is achievable even if it requires some luck or hard work?
Normal friendships, paid contracts, and, dammit I want to be a fencing marshal. Also, continue to keep the diabetes under control and stay fit and healthy.
13) What are you most proud of having done in 2015? If you answered “none” to the seven deadly sins question, and have an answer to this, go back and fill in the Pride one.
Helped Lesley get her auths and awards and have a good time with her SCA and conrunning and stuff.
14) It's not February, but go and say “I love you” to someone, and mean it. Doesn't have to be on here- phone them, text them, PM them, say it to their face. Just mean it.
Ah, yes... ..
15) Fifteen questions for 2015 sounds about right, so let's end with: What should the 15th question be?
How the fuck should I know?
