Have you ever participated in a boycott? What did you boycott and why?


View 527 Answers


I boycotted a religious symbol once. I joined because my friend asked me to (yeah, I was a very gullible high schooler, I can think of so many other things that would be more important to demonstrate against now). Ironically, I got my picture on the front page of the newspaper and I was the only one at the boycott who actually didn't care about the issue.

Which of the seven deadly sins—sloth, greed, lust, gluttony, anger, envy, and pride—are you most likely to commit?

It would be easier to say that the only one I probably wouldn't commit is lust.

Have you ever ruined the ending or given away plot developments in a book, movie, or tv show by telling someone who hasn't seen or read it what happens? Has anyone ever done this to you?

All the time! I'm kind of notorious in my family for doing exactly that.

Writer's Block: Over-the-Top Metaphors

Detective stories are stereotypically full of over-the-top metaphors: "The villain's hand stroked the cat the way his sins stroked his black soul. His voice, rough as the city's nighttime streets and twice as terrifying, barked orders to his lackeys. They scattered like parents who just realized they forgot to pick up a child from school." Write a short scene using some of your own extreme metaphors and similes.

He had eyes like quiet swamp pools. At first glance they were dark brown, empty and still. But if you watched long enough, you could see flashes of hazel and green, as if ripples had spread from some unseen creature living in the depths or a wind had stirred a shaft of sunlight into the meer. Some people might have found it handsome. She only found it disconcerting. Those eyes must have been what made him such a good detective.

What method do you use to prepare your coffee or tea?


View 500 Answers


Water in cup, tea bag in water (usually green or cinnamon), heat for 90 seconds, forget about it for 15 minutes, take out tea bag, then adulterate with 2 sugar cubes and occasionally a spoonful of flaxseed.

Previous coworkers have discovered that 'sampling' my tea is a very bad idea.
