Yes, we've had some amazing Questions these last few Weeks, as I've done such a great job of upholding this proud MoFo tradition. Nope, haven't slacked off at all. Not...at...all...

Anyway, more questioning! Dog demands it! Now!

1. I recently had a week-long vacation with my family in Florida at Disneyworld. It was a lot of fun, but to be honest, I went there to relax and when I came back my feet were aching, and I was really tired from trying to jam-pack as much fun as possible into every single day. I think I could've come back to work more relaxed if I had spent the time lieing on a beach or a mountain cabin somewhere. At any rate, what is your idea of an ideal vacation? Do you like me try and go somewhere just to relax and get away from it all? Or do you try and cram as much activity into a short space of time as possible? Or is it some other weird thing I haven't heard of? Freak.

2. Let's face it, the cyborg revolution is coming. It's only a matter of time before the ability to graft mechanical parts onto your body is as commonplace as making toast. It's time to jump on the cyborg bandwagon now. What Cyborg attachment would you like installed on your body?

3. Okay, that whole cyborg thing was a bad idea, because it made the robots smarter and now they're taking over and killing humans! That's right, the humans are dead! Except for you. They kept you alive for some reason? What possible cold, hard logical reason could the robots have for keeping you alive, and in what capacity do you now serve them?

4. I've always thought that the greatest geniuses were those who see things that were sitting right in front of everyone's faces, but no one noticed until then. That being said, the Earl of Sandwich was a genius, simply because no one thought of putting filling between two slices of bread before he came along. In celebration of his most momentous invention, What is your favorite type of sandwich? No detail is too mundane.

5. You know how in public lavatories, sometimes the toilet has a lever to control the flushing mechanism, and sometimes it uses some sort of infrared radar? Which do you prefer?

1. Trip to Ireland... Or Rome. Hell, I guess even France would do. Just so I can see my Renoirs <3

2. Blaster gun/ shield. Or a laser sword... that would be sick.

3. They need me to... Lube their lug nuts =

4. A #14... With cheese, a cookie, chips (not fries, you crazy Brits), and a pickle m/

5. Either, I guess. The sensor ones tend to flush while I am still on them... but those ones force people to flush. There is nothing worse than finding a full toilet =

1. Ideal vacation? Bah. I'm not a fan of vacationing. I'm a fan of travelling to a place with a clear intent and purpose. Going to Atlanta for Dragon*Con, visiting Trish in Chicago.

One which I haven't done, I'd like to do the tourist thing in NYC just one time, catch a Broadway show or two. I hear Pascal and Rapp are reprising their starring roles in RENT for a few months. If I could have caught that it would have been LOOOOVE!

2. Cyborg implant? Totally camcorder feed. If I could record video and audio at will, I'd never feel unsafe and helpless again. There'd always be evidence!

3. Why did the robots spare me? Pre-set kill limit and somehow (maybe due to my obsessive anti-apocolypse plans) I am the last one and all the robots have hit their kill limits. So... they keep me as their Spike Witwicky. I just stand around and not do anything.

4. Favourite sandwich? Curry sandwich. Nothing like a good bit of chicken and rice with masala sauce stuck between two white slices of heaven.

5. Toilet preference? I'm very shy on the toilets so I prefer levers... the infra-red sensor implies that some perverted robot just watched you go and I can't deal with that.

1. what is your idea of an ideal vacation? I really don't like holidays, but if I went on one, I'd just like to do some relaxing, maybe a bit of exploring, and some nice food in the evening. Oh and lots of ice cream.

2. What Cyborg attachment would you like installed on your body? Pneumatic legs. Jumping to ridiculous heights and distances for the ultimate win.

3. What possible cold, hard logical reason could the robots have for keeping you alive, and in what capacity do you now serve them? I guess I could be petty good at designing new styles of robots. Let's go with that.

4. What is your favorite type of sandwich? Cheese, tomato sauce, and brown sauce with some cheese and onion crisps in there as well. 😀

5. Which do you prefer? I have never seen any type of radar toilet, so I'll go with the good ol' lever.

1) Probably somewhere not too hot, nice landscapes and good food.

2) If Robocop has taught me anything its that a space for a gun in your leg is hella cool. So that or eye laser.

3) I leik roybots? I don't know what I could do for our future robot overlords. But I'll think of something though.

4) This is a hard one. Either Egg Mayonaise and Bacon or Chicken and Bacon with salad. But most things on Subway menu is fine too.

5) I have never used public toilets. We have a button on top of the cistern, which replaces the handle. And its cool.

1) I'm not used to holidays so I don't particularly enjoy them. I don't like how my parents MUST sightsee. So no sightseeing. I'd like a holiday where it's not too hot or sunny, just nice and warm and sunny intervals would do. I'd like to stay in a holiday complex of some sort, self catering so I actualy like what I eat, but has a pool. Local leisure resort. Nearby beach. Nearby shops for window shopping.
Aaaaaaah
Of course I'd want to take Wes (THS) too but I think he likes walking around sightseeing so we'll have to comprimise.

2) Um I guess I'd like some kind of invisibility field. If that isn't invented yet, then I'd want the internet installed in my head so I can browse and IM wherever I am. I'd want it to be able to be put on standby though. Let's have both. Yeeees.

3) They kept me alive because I am so illogical with my emotions and stuff that they short-circuit when they get near me.

4) Melted Sainsburys value cheddar, juicy sausage and almost but not quite crispy bacon on a white baguette. *faints*

5)I don't think lazer toilets are very commonplace in the UK, so lever.

1. I dislike the idea of vacationing. I'm fine as long as I can relax a bit each day at home. If it became impossible at some point for me to find that bit of time, then maybe my attitude would change.

2. Web Browser

3. I guess I'd be in a Zoo!

4. Turkey and mayonaisse

5. Eww! I don't user public potties.

1. I really just prefer time to mysle.fI find travel anywhere to be midlly stressful. If I took a week off for vacation, I wprobably wouldn't leave my house.

2. I have two answers. One isn't appropriate for the gboard, so the other - One of those bionic eye things. With full zoom and infrared and NVG vision and all.

3. Nope, I'm dead. But, uh, hmm.My total apathy would make it a waste of their time to kill me.

4. Honey ham. Light mayo. white bread. 'Nuff said.

5. I prefer the sensor becaue findigna full toilet is disgusting. If they flush while I'm in there, who cares?

1. My ideal vacation would be to relax somewhere on a tropical beach paradise resort with nothing but my sketchpad, a laptop, and a babe at my side. Inside the resort would be everything else I brought like Xbox!

2. A robotic eye complete with all sorts of sensory equipment just so when Nappa asks me what Kakort's power level is, I can respond "ITS OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAND!!!"

3. Sweet robot lovin', here I come!

4. Sandwich? Chicken, cheese, ham, leetuce, tomato and mayonnaise.

5. I prefer manual.

1. Roller coasters, Arcades, and good friends.

2. Not exactly cyborg-ish, but repair-nanobots. A partof me gets damaged? Nanobot REPALACE'D. Essential for Transhumanists everywhere!

3. If the above answer is cannon, it's because I'm immortal, and currently being shot at by every robot in the world.

Other than that, a few things are possible:
A. If the robots are true AI:
a. I find a robot with weapons systems disabled, teach it emotion, causing it to understand human scociety. Repair it, and let it inform the other robots of it's discoveries. My current status: a final reminder to robot scociety of the mistakes of humanity.
b. Knowing that the human race is finished, they let me live, and provide me with shelter in turn for doing various tasks required.
B. If the robots are not true AI:
a. I'm one of the last soldiers ging for a final battle with the much more numerous robot army. We know that we'e going to go down, that humanity is finished, but we're not ging down without a fight. I'm the last one standing in the aftermath. My current status: awaiting the next, and probably last, wave of robots.
b. I've managed to hide from them, using anything I can find, lead plates, radar-jammers, etc., to avoid detection. I find few weapons, and take out a few key bases to further my lifespan.

Yes, I have put a lot of thought into this through the years.

4. Deli-style Honey-roasted turkey, provalone or swiss cheese, and mayo. Perferred bread is a Cruissant (Sp?) or potato bread.

5. Laser-detector, for the reasons SX said. Also, I don't want to touch a flush handle that thousands of others have touched.

1. What is your idea of an ideal vacation?
Somewhere with a good night life, and a few of my mates, so we can enjoy the late nights, and late mornings.

2. What Cyborg attachment would you like installed on your body?
Super computer in my brain to process every little decision and it's potential consequences and outcomes. Or a jet pack/mechanical wings for the lulz.

3. What possible cold, hard logical reason could the robots have for keeping you alive, and in what capacity do you now serve them?
They've yet to beat me at a game of Bust A Move. Suck that you robotic scum!

4. What is your favorite type of sandwich?
Depends on my mood. Sometimes I'm in a peanut butter (crunchy of course) and jam sandwhich. Sometimes a hot chip sandwhich with tomato sauce. Sometimes a chicken and mayo sandwhich.

5. Which do you prefer?
Don't really care. As long as the person before me has flushed. X.x

What is your idea of an ideal vacation?

Having enough time to both relax and do nothing and time to do all the other activities you'd always want to do, but never could because you don't have enough time.
And have my boyfriend with me.

What Cyborg attachment would you like installed on your body?

Bionic eyes. Both of them.
My vision sucks as it is, with 4 and something degrees of miopia and while I do like my glasses, being able to adjust my eyes at will is much better.

What possible cold, hard logical reason could the robots have for keeping you alive, and in what capacity do you now serve them?

I am obviously a rare specimen of live human being kept in a zoo or natural park.
Robot tourists love to feed me chocolate! =D

What is your favorite type of sandwich?
The ones my mommy makes for me for lunch. :<
I.e. egg, salad an tomato.

Lever or radar? Which do you prefer?
I prefer the foot-controlled levers. Because I don't like touching those levers, I use my feet if I can! D:
Radars also aren't bad if they didn't go off when I'm still using the toilet.

1. Ideal vacation for me would be more about the company I'm with than where we went. However, somewhere reasonably rural would suit me nicely.

2. A mentally controlled HUD which would overlay on one of the lenses of my glasses. Useful for web-browsing, storing/recalling appropriate information, or just being able to while away some time with minesweeper or similar. The IR/UV/other spectrum sensory upgrade would also be cool...

3. The best reason I can come up with would be due to having a different perspective on issues, and so have different lines of creativity for problem-solving. Not sure how well they'd accept this, though. Depends on how they've developed their intelligence.

4. I guess a meatball marinara with lettuce, peppers and cucumber. Although I'm not a great connoisseur of sandwiches...

5. If it works, that will do for me.

1: My vacation, somewhere warm and sunny, but not too warm and sunny. With a nice beach, lots of quiet relaxation, a good pool/beachside bar with cold beer, and plenty of seafood.

2: Gimmee a supercomputer brain with the ability to store, playback and anylise scenarios, predict and playout situations, wireless internet access and the ability to do my homework.

3: Why am I still alive? Well, the 'bots got so advanced that they decided to adopt a similar method of power by organics. That's right, the shiney buggers can eat now. Unfortunatly for them, they seemed to have wiped out most of the none-mechanical life on the planets surface, and untill they can brave the polluted ocean depths, that's where I come in.

I'm being clone-farmed for meat =(

4: Mmmmm, butties. Now this is a tricky one, but I think for my favourite, I'll have to agree with Craig. Nothing beats a good curry sandwhich, though unlike him I perfer a more manly fair. Cold vindaloo on bread is a good wake up buttie. But as I said, that's more morning fair, a nice breakfast.

When it comes to other times of the day, other meals, I change. Lets talk lunch. Lunch falls squarly and deliciously into the realms of the Pie Barm. Get yourself a nice pie, or pasty since gregs seems to have gone lax on the pies recently (It's a bloody pie shop =( .) Stick it on a buttered bun, and enjoy.

Snacks are again different, and I'm an odd bunny for this, but Peanut Butter and Salt and Vinigar Crisps. Yummy =3

As for tea, well, no buttie is truely tea, but chip butties are the perfered fair here, especially if they are there is gravy for dippins.

5: The IR things kind of bug me, as to the little cistern buttons. A flush is a big loud thing, it should have a hefty mechanism, yaknow?

1. Take the time machine, my friend, to woodstock!

2. some crazy implants in my hands that let them go liek 10 times faster.
Not for masterburtation, folks, for fretting. I'm already fast as hell so if i got something like that I'd blow f**king doors down worldwide.

3. I have the power to make them feel human emotion.

4. JJ Gargantuan.
boston who orders a club sandwhich at a sub place? =(

5. infrared. less touching is better.

I don't know about you, but I don't like cold water splashing on my caboose =

It isn't that much if at all, and I'd prefer that to a lever everyone touches right after wiping themselves.

1) What is your idea of an ideal vacation?
Going to some deserted place (island preferably) and living off what grows and lives there. I wouldn't mind it though if there was food there and I could just relax and swim all day. ~.~

2) What Cyborg attachment would you like installed on your body?
A little chip in my brain that lets me know a crapload of stuff. or if the attachment must be a physical thing, I'd like one bionic arm. Just because if I had 2 bionic arms, I'd miss having a natural one.

3) What possible cold, hard logical reason could the robots have for keeping you alive, and in what capacity do you now serve them?
Because I agree with them by saying affirmative.

4) What is your favorite type of sandwich?
Ham and melted swiss on top of toasted sweet bread and with mustard.

5) Which do you prefer?
Well, at home I prefer the lever (like I'd be able to have automatic toilets at home) because I know who touches that lever. In public places, definitely the sensor, because it involves no touching. Touching things in a public bathroom for me is very =/

1) I really don't mind, as long as wherever I'm going has Internet access.

2) Without a doubt, bionic eyes. I'm nearly blind without my glasses, so it would be nice having perfect vision. Also, seeing in infrared and night vision would be fun.

3) I suppose they would keep me alive for my intelligence, as I do quite well in school. I'm sure they'd get frustrated with my lack of common sense, though.

4) A sandwich stacked high with turkey, cheese, and mayonnaise, with white bread. nN

5) I prefer the sensor, because it requires me to do less work. Also, it flushes so I don't have to worry about finding an unflushed toilet. x_x
