The Friday Five

It's driving day here on the Friday Five..

1. Do you wear your seatbelt every time you're in the car?
2. What kind of vehicle do you drive?
3. What's the worst traffic ticket you've ever gotten?
4. How about the worst traffic ticket you've ever gotten out of?
5. Ever been in an accident?

Bonus question: How much does gas cost where you are?
1. Not if I'm in the car for <2 minutes.
2. 2000 Acura TL
3. To be honest, I still haven't gotten any tickets.
4. Not a traffic ticket, but I got arrested in February, and the case got thrown out because my friends and I looked innocent.
5. Not that I can remember.

6. Enough to complain.
 
We always hear how technology makes the standard of living higher, so how about the opposite?

What is one piece of technology that you feel does more harm to people than good?
 
What should the penalty be for people driving slow in the left lane while talking on a cell phone? (everything from no punishment to waterboarding (and beyond) is fair game))
 
So that's five + bonus:

1) What is one piece of technology that you feel does more harm to people than good?
2) Ever had an experience of the supernatural variety you could not explain?
3) If you could make your perfect sandwich, what would be on it?
4) What should the penalty be for people driving slow in the left lane while talking on a cell phone? (everything from no punishment to waterboarding (and beyond) is fair game))
5)What are the last five beers you have truly enjoyed?

Bonus - Does your wife forcing you to play a golf tournament on her birthday make her the most awesome woman in the world?

1) Although cell phones can save your life, they seem to kill more people than they save in car accidents

2) No. I bet there is a more reasonable explanation at the heart of supernatural claims.

3) (Good one!) Roast beef, mozzarella cheese, green peppers, olive oil on toasted sesame seed bun with a bag of salt and vinegar chips and a soft chocolate chip cookie. Mmmmmm..

4) I'm actually really disturbed how much this one applies to me. I'm a very laid back person and I once got out of my car and swore at the top of my lungs at a woman who actually stopped in front me in the middle of a conversation on her phone. I think the penalty should involve releasing (or not even arresting) people from prison who are arrested for beating the fuck out of someone who does something stupid while on the phone driving.

5) I drank two beers in my entire life and have no intention of ever drinking any again. Probably the most disgusting thing I have ever consumed.

Bonus - Yes
 
1) What is one piece of technology that you feel does more harm to people than good?
TELEVISION
2) Ever had an experience of the supernatural variety you could not explain?
No
3) If you could make your perfect sandwich, what would be on it?
Panini
4) What should the penalty be for people driving slow in the left lane while talking on a cell phone? (everything from no punishment to waterboarding (and beyond) is fair game))
Take away their license.
5)What are the last five beers you have truly enjoyed?
I don't even remember. I don't often drink beer. I'm a liquor guy.

Bonus - Does your wife forcing you to play a golf tournament on her birthday make her the most awesome woman in the world?
My woman doesn't golf and neither do I, so N/A.
 
1) What is one piece of technology that you feel does more harm to people than good?
Guns.

2) Ever had an experience of the supernatural variety you could not explain?
Though I'm extremely interested in the subject, can't say I've had one.

3) If you could make your perfect sandwich, what would be on it?
Damn, I love so many sandwiches. Impossible to answer.

4) What should the penalty be for people driving slow in the left lane while talking on a cell phone? (everything from no punishment to waterboarding (and beyond) is fair game))
Revocation of either license or cell phone rights. Might be a tough call for some.

5)What are the last five beers you have truly enjoyed?
I prefer whiskey, but I guess...Bellhaven. Old Speckled Hen. Duvel.

Bonus - Does your wife forcing you to play a golf tournament on her birthday make her the most awesome woman in the world?
If you enjoy golf, perhaps.
 
1) What is one piece of technology that you feel does more harm to people than good?
Genetically altered foodstuffs.

2) Ever had an experience of the supernatural variety you could not explain?
Sometimes I dream about stuff and then it happens.

3) If you could make your perfect sandwich, what would be on it?
Today I had this great sandwich with curried chicken salad and arugula on grain bread. To answer the question I'd have either a smoked salmon sandwich with onion and watercress or one with chicken, lettuce, onions, jalapenos and black olives.

4) What should the penalty be for people driving slow in the left lane while talking on a cell phone? (everything from no punishment to waterboarding (and beyond) is fair game))
Watching John Waters' Pink Flamingos straight for 24 hours.

5)What are the last five beers you have truly enjoyed?
Lindeman's Kriek and Framboise, Hoegaarden, Duvel, Kingfisher.

Bonus - Does your wife forcing you to play a golf tournament on her birthday make her the most awesome woman in the world?
Not a big fan of golf, plus I'm not married.

1) One word: TV.

2) Depends on what you mean by 'supernatural'. I'm highly interested in the subject, but objectively speaking, I don't personally think there separately 'is' such a thing. IMO everything is pretty 'natural'. It's just our still-limited awareness and understanding of the way the universe works that causes us to think that nature is ONLY what we see/know.
To answer your question though I'd say plenty, the most recent one was when I was walking the street about a week ago when I (with no obvious reason) started thinking about someone I haven't seen/talked to/thought about in a couple of years, then after 2 minutes or so he was there, we actually met.

3) Mozzarella cheese, toasted sesame, panini, chicken, mayonnaise, whatever... I love sandwiches. :p

4) That would be one of those moments where I wish I was in a San Andreas sorta video game, cause that would let me do the punishing myself :heh:.
Seriously, suspend that damn license of theirs.

5) I don't really enjoy beer.

Bonus - I'm not married nor do I play golf.

1. Guns.

2. Yeah, once during a thunderstorm when I was little, my radio car toy drove out of my room and into my hall where my brother and I were watching TV. The remote for it was on my desk in my room and we were the only two home that night. Freaked us out like hell.

3. Caviar and cheese or sliced boiled eggs. Or maybe all of that.
In Scandinavia, a significantly cheaper version of caviar, made from smoked cod roe, is sold in tubes as a sandwich filling. So not that expensive russian stuff :p

4. They should lose their driver's licenses as they're clearly not fit for driving?

5. I drank some good Guinness to the Germany - Romania football game. Earlier this summer I drank .. I think the best tasting beer ever. A half and half with Carnegie and Carlsberg.

Bonus. I don't have a wife and golf is the most boring sport ever (played for a year).
