1. If you recognised one of The Cult members (you'd seen a picture) walking on the opposite side of the street would you go talk to them and introduce yourself?

2. Would you write to Chuck? If you have, did he reply?

3. In the 'If you could fight anyone who would you fight' thread, who did you choose? Or, if you didn't participate in that, think about it now.

4. Do you ever randomly during the day say Chuck quotes? e.g. 'I am Jack's lack of answers...etc..' ?

5. If you were stranded on a desert island for the rest of your life, and you had to take another cult member with you, and a supply of something that would never run out, what and who would you take?

1. If you recognised one of The Cult members (you'd seen a picture) walking on the opposite side of the street would you go talk to them and introduce yourself? hell yeah. i'd feel bad that one of you were stuck in alabama. hopefully the cultster would say hello to me first because i'm not the most "go getter" sort of person. especially across a street.

2. Would you write to Chuck? If you have, did he reply? i almost did but was told by a fellow cult member that it would have been a bad idea.

3. In the 'If you could fight anyone who would you fight' thread, who did you choose? Or, if you didn't participate in that, think about it now. i'd fight shakira and kick her fucking ass. Smile Big

4. Do you ever randomly during the day say Chuck quotes? e.g. 'I am Jack's lack of answers...etc..' ? depends on the situation. i'm sure his word is with all of us at some time or other Smile Big hehe

5. If you were stranded on a desert island for the rest of your life, and you had to take another cult member with you, and a supply of something that would never run out, what and who would you take? it's a toss up between wesley sonck and kitty. if rubylicious were older, sorry wes and kitty, but she'd be the lucky one! haha... oh, and regardless of who was with me, i'd try and get a duplicate of the six foot bitch!

survey says! (a la richard dawson, fuck louie anderson and al whatever his real name is)

1. helllllls yeah. and the poor bastard would be all, dude, do i know you? and i'd be like, kinda, you post on cp.net, dontcha? and they'd say, no, sorry, i don't know chuck, and i really didn't understand "fight club." this kind of shit happens to me all the time, i think i recognize someone, and it's a total stranger. or i'll wave at someone who i think is one of my friends, and again, it's a total stranger.
2. i'd write to chuck, if i had something good to say. never have in the past, however.
3. i'd fight gweneth paltrow, hands down. i'm pretty scrappy for a little girl, so i think i could take her, even if she towers over me with her perfect microbiotic self. fuck her.
4. nah. the people i'm with during the day wouldn't get it, and it would be a waste of a good quote.
5. you're asking us to pick favorites?? y'all bring something to the table...that's why i'm a cult member; not everyone's like me (or anything like me, i should say) so conversation is interesting. i'd assign specialized jobs, though, since i'd be queen of the island: 2PK would be head of entertainment; will tupper and kitty as island scribes; rents would provide the music, hopefully he'd bring his trumpet; wesley i'd put in charge of creating an island dialect since he seems to make up words - but words i'd like use one day; and decalog would be the island elder, imparting wisdom, and "back in my day"s; snow white would be chief pollster. finally, i'd like to make xchuck the island idiot, but since he'd probably find that position offensive (even though the village idiot was always a popular guy), he can do whatever. i'd make sure we all had computers and high-speed internet connections and there'd be a neverending supply of $ for the semi-dedicated server, so we could communicate with each other.

1. yea but i can't promise that i would recognize anyone, i'd probably think 'hey, they look familiar, i wonder how i know them' and keep walking.
2.sure i would write to him, i had a reason. i'm not the type to write a letter based on "i love your books"
3.i think i said betsy ross, or maybe that was another thread...
4.on occasion i have

1. Of course i would talk to someone if i recognised them.

2. I wanted to write to him because i heard that he answers his mail with weird gifts. Like when i saw him when he went on tour for Lullaby he gave out bouqets of flowers if you wanted to ask him a question.

3. I would fight Brad Pitt. I want to know if he is a pussy or not.

4. Sometimes.

5. This is hard. I think i would take Wes cause he is bringing the drugs and i would want a big screen t.v. that broadcasts every football game imagined, two soccer balls and a pump, some boots, and about a ton of vicodin to add to Wes' stuff.

1. yes, but an avatar is an awfully difficult thing to go by. i may look like mine, but i can't speak for others.
2. hadn't occured to me to write mr. p a letter. for those of you who have, did you get a response from him or an agent?
3. i would fight george washington. an overstuffed farmer-gentleman who got real lucky.
4. rarely, if at all. i'm too damned witty and talented myself.
5. haven't been chattinghere long enough to have a sense of who i would take (and i agree with wes - wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings), but no question about what i would take with me: vintage wine, champagne, smoked meats, cheese, baggettes, seeds, tomato sauce, pasta and a solar powered tread mill, and my scout knife.

1. Hell yeah I'd go talk to them

2. Never wrote him, but I did talk to him once at one of his readings, so I really have no reason to write him

3. Fuck, I forgot who I said I would fight in that post, but right now, it would have to be Dick Cheny, since he represents everything I hate

4. Here and there, yeah

5. This is a tough one, since I really don't know anyone here all that well personally, just going on what I've read. Well, if the island didn't already have an abundance of coca plants, then I'd take a lifetime supply of coke. Hopefully whoever went with me would bring a lifetime supply of mary-jane for the come down. As far as the cult member, it would have to be either one of the girls (Ruby looks particularly delicious, haven't really seen pics of any other girls though) or Brock Landers cause he'd never be short of words or insight, or Becks or Wesley do play football (soccer) with, or Ill Rich so that I had a grappling dummie to throw around.

1. Yes, yes i would. And i would then start a fight with them, and they'd get the joke, and we'd both feel special. then they'd blow my jaw off "to make me more pretty." I wouldn't find it funny at that point.

2. Yes i would, and i'd probably ask all the same lame little stupid questions he gets form everyone else.

3. The guys that killed by Girlfriend's gay best friend. No jokes in this answer, but i would bring a long a hockey stick and something sharp. At that point, it wouldn't be Palahniuk who influenced me, but Brett Easton Ellis.

4. Yes, now that i spend more time on this board. Currently it's the condom= glass slipper thing.

5. Wes. We'd both laugh till we died and get each other's australian-ness. And the thing: lubrica...wait, not, i'll change that to Music of all variances

This thread cracks me up.
1. I probably wouldn't. No offense, I'd just feel a little weird and I'd be worried about mistaking someone else for one of you crazy kids. I'd want to, but ultimately I probably wouldn't.
2. I'm going to sometime soon and ask him about stuff in the Portland area regarding writing and whatnot. I'm near that area, so it could be helpful.
3. I've been thinking about his for a while, and I really can't think of anybody. I'd want to fight someone I really respected, I think, not just someone I want to beat the fuck out of. My english teacher from high school is the only person I can think of right now. That crazy, crazy man.
4. Not nearly as often as some of you people. Every once in a while I'll use a Chuck quote, but for the most part I try to be witty on my own. Doesn't always work.
5. Oh man, so many of you. I like moe's idea about assigning jobs to people, but we're gonna be on a tropical island, so fuck jobs. I'd bring: Will, cause he's Jesus on Nyquil. Kitty cause she's a goddess among men. Wes, cause what's Rents without his Sick Boy? XChuck, so I can have a disciple. Moe, cause she has kickass taste in music and excellent for intelligent conversation. Ruby, cause she seems to be the Cult Cutie and has superb taste in mornings. Kenny, despite the fact that he wants his junk in Kevin Bacon's trunk. JaneS. so we can dream about our fleeting writing careers together. Decalogue for all his wisdom. Eponymous, cause he seems like a witty young lad, though I haven't conversed with him much. Aw fuck, you can all come! This list is just gonna keep going on and on if I don't cut it off here. As for stuff I couldn't live without, I'd need: paper, black papermate pens, music (provided by moe and myself), my black hoody, burds from Scotland Smile Big, LOTS of great food, and Powell's, that's magically replenished with the latest and greatest in literature. Now THAT is heaven, my friends.

Surveys are so fun!

1. Of course I'd come up and talk to you. Whoever you are. I'd probably give you a big ol' hug, also.

2. Yes. Yes.

3. If I remember right, I chose you, Snow White. I think we could go rough n' tumble for a good twelve rounds before you took me out for good. Wink

4. I told the girl at the grocery store today that sticking feathers up her butt does not make her a chicken. She laughed. It was cool. (More on this in another thread in a second).

5. I don't mean this in a mean way, but even I have a little sadistic side, so I'll say: I'd take xchuck, and an unlimited supply of duct tape.

Hee hee. Love!

1. I'm not sure if I would go up to the person or not. Is who we are in the cult the same people we are in the rest of the world? Would I be disappointed? I surely hope not.

2. Yes, I would write Chuck, except I'm afraid that the letter would start out intelligently enough, but by the end would dissolve into mindless teenage drivel; "You are the best, Chuck! You are like so my hero!! (L)". And it would be all downhill from there.

3. I think on the thread I said Holden Caufield and josh. Both of them need some serious ass-kicking.

4. More and more all the time. Look, I did a pseudo-quote in my first answer! One of my friends and I are always doing the "Most people...normal people..." thing. But the thing I find myself quoting more these days is all of you guys.
(Actually, to go back to question 1, yes, I think I would go up and talk to that person, because I only know 2 people in real life who are members of the cult, and neither of them ever post or read the posts. So I'd like to meet one of you just so I'd have someone to see and say, "Oh my gosh, did you read that hilarious thing that so and so posted today?!")

5. Okay, I would have to make some kind of weird combination of everyone's personalities if I were to only have one person with me: Wes' weird scathing wit, Kitty's ability to cut through the bullshit, Will's endless love, Rent's hint of romaticism, XChuck's innocence (at least that's what I think it is), Kenny's sweetness, everyone else, even if I can't think of what part of you I'd take. I'm probably take an endless supply of Fritos, cause damn, those are good eatin.

1. No.
2. No. I would write to XChuck, however.
3. I started that thread. I forget who I put. Go look it up yourself.
4. Not usually.
5. Um.... are any of the women in the cult over 18? Odd Reigh is. Cool. She'd be amusing for a long time... And I'd bring a Zippo, sunblock (SPF 50 - cuz tans suck), duct tape (got enough of that and you can build a freaking house), and Reddi-Whip (in the can).

1. no.

2. no, i don't have the guts.

3. gee-dub, and martha stewart.

4. yes, although one of my all-time favorite chuck-isms is "put a gun against my head and paint the wall with my brains." i mostly keep that one to myself.

5. please please please could i take two?? please??? i can't choose between wes and rents. don't make me!!

as for something that wouldn't run out, i'd say water. cause i'm practical that way.

1) Depends on who it was. Unless it was someone i had some degree of familiarity with, no. If it was someone i've talked to at length, it's about 50/50 depending on my mood at the moment

2) No, though i've thought about it. The thing that's kept me from it is that I believe a letter should be more written for the audience than for the one writing it. Untill i have something that i think would actually be worth his time and not just the standard "blah blah blah i love your bookscakes"

3) I did, and I don't feel like looking it up. I said a lot of people though. I'm a quietly angry little fucker.

4) Constantly. Then again, I quote EVERYTHING. I am a pop culture junkie.

5) Hrm...I'll take the cop out and say decalogue since he said me first and therefore i don't stand a chance of getting "rejected". Wink Plus, he'd remember the sunblock. Pasty white skin rocks my casbah. (tans clash with my hair, hehe)

1) No i'd be way too scared to. Anyway, how many of you would want a 15 year old midget coming up to you saying "Hey i'm from that message board on the internet!" when you're in the middle of something?

2) No i don't really have anything valid to say to him, and if i did write it would be total teeny-bopper shite ("Dude you rock my world!")

3) either my brother or my friends. Only if i got to win though. I know that's pathetic but hey it's my what if.

4) Yeah, and it's VERY VERY frustrating cuz no one has a fucking clue what i'm talking about

5) Thing: Mini-disc player (with midis), pen and paper.
People: i'm just gonna do a list cuz im heartly like that; Wes,
Rents, Kitty (i'd just like to say that i really admire you girl), 2PK, Tupper, knoxville, mario and others (im so bad at names). Esp the spanish dude!

No, I totally get all giddy too. Rushing through the first four questions to get to the fifth, then start hunting for any words beginning with 'r.' Ok, maybe a little bit of an exaggeration. Just a little.

Woohoo! New best friend! We can stay up all night and talk about boys, er, writing and how we'll never be able to get a job. Or we could delve deep into talk of romanticism, cause, to be honest, there's more than just a hint of it in me, hopeless romantic I am. *sigh, wistfully gaze at stars* Wink

I like that, Rents, "boys, er, writing..." Smooth.

PS I'm looking forward to not having a job throughout the journey of adulthood. The less money you have the less stuff you can buy, or so I am told.

Not as well as I'd like to. You can see some of the bright ones. I can make out (under *giggle*) the Big Dipper and the North Star, Orion's Belt, and Cassiopeia, but that's pretty much it. Luckily Seattle's one of those unique cities that's right next door to some awesome forests and whatnot, so one doesn't have to go too far if one wants to do some contemplative star gazing. A short while ago I went to the Hoh Rainforest just West of here and it blew my mind how many stars were in the sky.

Well I live in the middle of nowhere so we see a lot, but I'm one of those people who is so visually dense I can't see constellations for crap. Oh well. They sure is purty to look at.

Tag along?! Rents and Kenny, we have to form some kind of island-living romantic people club. We'll sit out under the stars every night with strawberry daquaris ande talk about, you know, romantic stuff. Like...stuff that's shaped like hearts. And chick flicks. Yeah. Good times.

Ok, I'll be up for the Island Romantics Club, but chick flicks? That might be crossing the line. Wink

well, yeah, I'm not too big on chick flicks either.

Okay, how about just the really quality ones like The English Patient and The Hours? Anything with Meg Ryan would be automatically vetoed.

Perfect, though just to make sure, we should allow Kenny to have his say as well.

1) Probably. Speaking of which, does anyone here on this msg board know anyone else here IRL?

2) No reason to... wouldn't mind chatting to him IRL, but I wouldn't waste his time with letters unless I had good reason to. I'm sure he gets enough freaky stuff in his letter box.

3) That freaky girl who refuses to talk to me. But only if she threw the first punch. I've been disciplined by society not to hit girls. I never actually understood this until I realised a few months ago just how much stronger than most girls even a weedy guy like me is. And suddenly, many more things in society made sense....

4) No, but I've a habit of saying things abruptly, without reason, and in an american accent. People then ask, 'What's that from?'. It's a strange thing, that. Put on an accent for just one sentence, and no matter what it is, people assume you're quoting someone.

5) I only know one cult member IRL, so I'd pick him on the basis of him being the only one I -know- doesn't have bad BO Tongue Oh yeah, and I'd be guessing FOOD would be important.
