Omg, I didn't think about that but now you've said it, I kind of want it to happen!  "Albert... just one more rasher... please!" "I think you've had quite enough, sir..."

I did think that, but didn't see when I checked back. Oh well!

This sounds like the plot development for an 80s style cheesy movie  

The Wizard of Oz - at least, the part where Dorothy is being threatened by the witch because she won't give up the ruby slippers. Apparently I enjoyed the rest of the movie because I distinctly remember asking my mum to put it on, but I hid behind the sofa for bits of it because I couldn't handle it 

When I was still a teenager I saw an episode of the Outer Limits (I checked it out because my crush at the time liked it... big mistake!); the first, and only episode I happened to catch was about the sun going nova and I had nightmares about it, and similar events for years afterwards, which says a lot. While I'm admittedly fairly easy to scare, it rarely induces nightmares.

Also, my brother loved this short film called 'The Plank' when we were kids. It was about rubbish collectors and I was always terrified I was about to watch one of the men get crushed to death in the back of the bin lorry, as he sat on the edge. It was supposed to be a comedy...

Another one my brother liked was an animation based on one of the world wars - the only thing I remember about it, because it scared the ever living shit out of me, was the soldiers had gas masks, but the hose things on them wriggled about like worms. Combined with the goggles that made them look like their eyes had no pupils, and they were staring right at me, it was pretty traumatising (I also made the mistake once of covering my eyes and asking him to tell me when they'd disappeared... yeah, my bro was a bit of an asshole when we were kids )

I actually do understand your friend to a degree, but I also think looking for practical reasons to dump someone can be a sign that you're not truly invested in them anyway. Driving a few hours to see someone can actually cause a strain on the feelings you have for someone - amplifying any uncertainty, and obviously not everyone can deal with a long distance relationship, especially if they need/prefer to have face to face contact and all the trimmings to go with that.

I didn't mind driving the 19 miles to my ex's house when I was with him last year, but everyone has a different 'threshold' I guess? One of my exes complained about having to drive about that same distance to come and see me a couple of times, and again when he was breaking up with me.

I'm on the fence over the money part - I agree it can make things easier in practical terms, but I'm not sure it should be a deciding factor in whether or not to date someone. What if they lose their job or their hours get cut? Will you (general you) dump them even if you still really like them?

As for the lack of relationships being just another day in the office, I'm definitely with you on that!

I agree. I've seen some of my colleagues moving from flat to flat and complaining about high rent (we all work in a nursing home) and just think... I couldn't keep moving and I'd probably always be suspicious the landlord was fleecing me somehow. I need to live somewhere knowing it's at least semi-permanent and where I don't have to deal with a landlord. Some of them are genuinely nice but if I get someone shitty, or who suddenly turns on me (as happened to one of my friends), there's no way I'd be able to deal with that.

I suppose that's another fear - Having To Deal With People ^TM. For everything else, there's Google!

Yum, never tried that but I like a lot of Japanese foods  

Peanut butter and chocolate spread sandwiches

I'd rather be washed out to sea - I know when I'm dead I won't be aware or conscious of anything, but I still hate the idea of a (probable) stranger seeing me naked, never mind cutting me up  sorry vultures, you're going hungry!

WYR have a lifelong passion in something really obscure, or many random short-lived hobbies? (sorry this isn't a great one lol)

Granted, you now have wings with a 6 foot span instead of arms and you get followed everywhere by curious ornithologists when you're on the ground. People throw birdseed at you as a joke and make jokes about pooping on things. Their nicknames for you are oh so imaginative (i.e. predictable and annoying).

I wish I had a partner to practice martial arts with at home.

A cheeky and sarcastic pirate reneges on a promise made 13 years ago and kills the person he cheated to boot. Briefly gets reunited with dad, steals the heart of someone else's wife and drinks all the rum before chucking himself into the mouth of a massive sea creature with lots of teeth.

(I might have remembered it wrong - it's been a while )

I'm practically teetotal - last time I had anything, it was a couple of shots last April. 

The time before that, probably around 2008? I drink so rarely I can basically remember what I had to drink at the time  

I liked Oh! My Goddess the anime a lot, also a big fan of Studio Ghibli  especially Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and Kiki's Delivery Service. Never really liked Princess Mononoke, though (apart from the massive wolves lol).

My first manga was Pet Shop Of Horrors - my friend had bought the first volume. I happened to flick through it and got hooked lol. They never officially translated the last volumes of the sequel, AFAIK  the anime (only 4 episodes based on the first volumes) was kind of unintentionally funny in places. Namely, Count D looking a bit like Michael Jackson.

Sergeant Frog is another old favourite, really funny, though I never finished it. Got up to volume 15 (though I mysteriously skipped vol. 14 for some reason)

Dramacon, about a girl who goes to an anime con with her friends over three years, with bust ups between main/secondary characters, and some genuinely bitchy/emotional/wtf moments.

Also, Pokemon of course, but prefer the older series where Team Rocket were still basically the bumbling and incompetent clowns Jessie and James  I just loved their dialogue.

Battle Royale (though very gory I found it compelling. Never finished it)

Sword Art Online (though I know Log Horizon is meant to be better - I haven't seen it though so can't compare lol).

I think it does, but even so, IMHO it's a sign of dysfunction in those relationships. I certainly can't imagine people with healthy relationships ending up doing it, at least not outside some kind of role play. I read a letter in the problem page of a newspaper once (my only reason for buying a certain newspaper when I was younger - so stupid it was even more entertaining than Jeremy Kyle sometimes ) from a woman saying she could only enjoy sex with her partner once they'd essentially beaten each other up (apparently it had escalated to the point where they were employing pots and pans from the kitchen and shit like that...)

Bacon Time,
C'mon grab your friends,
We're going to very distant lands.
With Jake the Dog and
Finn the Human,
The fun will never end,
It's Bacon Time!

How To Train Your Bacon

Hmm, depends if I could find some idiot(s) to buy it off me and make at least some of my money back!

1 million dollars but you run the risk of waking up an old person (complete with common old-person sayings and afflictions) every morning for the next fortnight. If you're still your own age after 14 days you'll age normally for the rest of your life.

I'd rather nearly fall over in front of random people. Less chance of being awkward and pissing someone off at the same time.

WYR be the villain in a hit movie and have a really short time on screen so nobody really remembers you, or the hero in a movie which turns into a massive flop at the box office?

(sorry this isn't a very good one )

The Secret Life of Bacon

Purple (though I really like nearly all colours)

Black (it's my happy colour)

I thought someone had blown up a microwave there!

Life is too short to worry about the pearl-clutching of people who take the 'everyone is so selfish now' thing way too far and imply everyone should be some kind of slave to everyone else (i.e. if you want to live on your own terms/not have children/not get married, even if you don't exclusively care about yourself only, apparently that's still being selfish according to some...)

To be honest, it seems kind of sticky and uncomfortable. And I feel like the ice cream would get dirty. It just seems like a sub-optimal method of ice cream consumption. I'd still rather do it than get married, though

Pretend you're like a modern day version of Cleopatra  

I'd rather hug a cactus covered in sandpaper than get married  

As in, I'd rather take a bath each week in a tub full of ice cream than get married?
