that was the first question i thought of when the contest started because i thought it would be revealing and might be funny to others if i just ask him to talk badly about me. but i might ask him if i was right in that huge pocket pair/set thread where i used simulations and he went out of his way to personally insult me. i don't really want to ask it if the question will be devoid of value for other people. if it involves that specific thread, maybe it would amuse some of the midlimit posters, or everybody on 2+2 if he actually decides that he was wrong and admits it. has that occured before?

he will be linked to the 5 year-old thread obviously. i'm expecting a good, reasoned answer on that one and it will hopefully be great.

animal survivor is just kind of boring i think.

ms paint i have concerns about humor or one-lining it.

skinny dipping is another potential cold response.

the list of 5 sounds good in theory but if it's just audrey hepburn and stuff like that it will be equally boring.

out of the box (at least in terms of "not beaten into the ground by OOT") questions may be more important here. namely, ones that are geared toward sklansky and will be answered in an entertaining way. the 5 year-olds question is a slam dunk because it's funny, interesting, but most importantly it has great potential for an answer from him.

These are all good points and things I was worried about, too. I'll second the one about Mat with only one T - WTF?

Or we could ask Astro the same question, and save the good ones for DS.

I'll throw in some support for this one, as well as the one from a while back about what place would you take in a footrace against the entire population of Earth.

If there was a god, who would he be like?

What's the most outlandish thing you've done?
