consider yourself replied

1) I first knew you as "DangerMouse" on Usenet, and I enjoyed reading your comments on Voyager (even if I didn't always agree with them).

2) Not technically a movie, but almost a TV movie: Voyager: "Year of Hell".

3) We share a first name and at least a middle initial.

4) See #1.

5) A magpie, 'cause it's in your username. :-)

6) Which tv/movie franchise that you haven't written for before would you most like to work with?

Um... Depends on the definition of "written for" - I'm tempted to say Star Wars, but I did write for the SW Fact Files... To be sure of picking one that I've not written for *at all* I think I'll have to say James Bond 007. Um, except that's a literary franchise first.

HEh. I'll bite.

Re: insert reply here. psiphiorg January 29 2007, 04:20:34 UTC

1) Because I know you from Bradley.

2) Twelve Angry Men. Not because you're a man, or you're angry, or even because there are twelve of you, but because of the subject of the movie. :-)

3) I rented your apartment one summer.

4) It's been quite some time now, but I think you were working behind the window in the data center in Morgan Hall while I was working at the Computer Hotline.

5) A finch, possibly of the atticus variety.

6) The views of which of the current US Supreme Court justices do you feel most closely resemble your own?

Heh, that's easier than I thought it would be, since 7 of the 9 current Justices were appointed by Republican Presidents.

I knew my initial response was "SCALIA BLOWS!!!!," so it was quite obviously NOT HIM. While I may have said Sandra Day O'Conner back in the day, she's not really an option, and she let me down in a major way by stepping down when she did (and thereby disqualified herself as the appropriate response to this question). A swing vote at that point in time was so necessary. Now Kennedy as a so-called moderate conservative is the most likely swing vote in the upcoming close cases. The "liberal" group of justices are Stevens, Souter, Ginsberg and Breyer.

It's a case-by-case basis for me. I'm a big fan of habeas, the Bill of Rights, and that little parchment barrier known as the Constitution. Of course, my interest is greatest in the Criminal matters, but that's because this law crAP takes up a lot of space in my brain that could be used by trivia.

Anyway, I'm going to have to say Stevens at the moment.

Hi!

psiphiorg January 29 2007, 05:32:25 UTC

1) You were in Psi Phi, and the main reason I initially got an LJ account was to keep in touch with various Psi Phi folks.

2) Hmm... I can't think of anything for this one.

3) During your final semester in Psi Phi, you missed only one meeting.

4) Either at the Activities Fair or at the New Member meeting in Fall 1999.

5) For some reason, a gerbil comes to mind.

6) Why would a gerbil come to mind?

davidh

psylew January 29 2007, 14:41:48 UTC

Hahaha :-) I have no idea why you'd think of a gerbil, but it's a recurring discussion animal in my life. If you'll excuse me, I must run off to see if an old friend is still has his e-gerbil site registered...

Go Right ahead

1) I recognized your username in replies to somebody else's LJ (I forget who) as being somebody from the Trek book discussion boards.

2) 24: "Day 6: 8:00 A.M. - 10:00 A.M." (TV movie).

3) You are constantly being called the wrong name.

4) I don't have a distinct first memory of you. It seems like you've been on the Trek boards for years.

5) Dogs. Lots of dogs.

6) What is the etymology of your username, "PsiQueue"?

What is the etymology of your username, "PsiQueue"?Well... back in dark days of the 1980's, I use to gone online to various BBS in Montreal. (This was when I would be visiting my grandparents and would hang out with my G/f and her brother). I was told to create a screen name; I wanted Big Tex, but was told (by the G/F) that I was "neither big or Tex". (ouch ( ... )

Ganbate.

1) You were in Psi Phi, and the main reason I initially got an LJ account was to keep in touch with various Psi Phi folks. (shamelessly copied from psylew's answer.)

2) Alien.

3) You have apparently ridden in the trunk of a car to certain Psi Phi events (though I haven't witnessed this firsthand).

4) Probably at the Activities Fair one year.

5) Cthulhu.

6) Are you really a closet stoner? :-)

teflon_don January 30 2007, 05:28:32 UTC

6) No. Although I suppose that would be a pretty efficient way to go about it.
