What is your Favorite...

[iEatNinjaZ]

Ive noticed that everyone who is a part of this forum loves to give his/her opinion on things (its human nature).
Every once in a while there's a thread asking what is your favorite such and such.

This is something people should include in their introduce yourself thread, but nobody does.

How about a thread where we tell all of our favorite things.

Ill go first!

Yeah, I really don't have definitive preferences or favourites on many things. These are simply what came to mind at the time, trimmed down to a reasonable amount. For any given point, there's a dozen more things I could have put. Or in the cases where I put none, I just don't care enough and have no interest.

FAVOURITE

Food: The finest meal I've had - and one I would gladly have again - consisted of an entree of duck liver pate, foie gras, stewed prunes, and toast corners. The main course was a Cowichan Valley duck leg and breast, flash-fried and then baked, with an accompanying potato galette and asparagus, as well as a raspberry compote (I really need to learn the shortcuts for accents here). Cheese course of double-smoked brie from the Cowichan Valley, parmesan of Saltspring Island, and gouda from, I believe, somewhere on the mainland. This was served with a selection of fresh fruit. Dessert was a fantastic lemon wedding cake.

As for normal-ish meals, you'd be hard-pressed to beat my mom's standard caesar salad (homemade croutons!), flank steak marinated in soy sauce, ginger, garlic, Worcestshire sauce, honey, and brown sugar, and fresh sourdough bread and butter.

Drink: Tuborg beer (lager?), Laphroiag cold, neat, and Coke.

Band: The New Pornographers.

Song: Bleeding Heart Show, by those mentioned above.

Movie: Fair to say that I can't pick just one.

TV show: BSG QQ.

Book: Bluebeard (Kurt Vonnegut) or Girlfriend in a Coma (Douglas Coupland)

Video Game: Now, Fallout 3. Prior to that, Goldeneye.

Car: '65 Corvette.

LRR Video: Son of a Bitch.

Comic: xkcd, Calvin and Hobbes.

Quote: "For every complex problem there is a simple solution. And it is always wrong." - H.L. Mencken.

Can't say I have a solid favorite for any of these, so I'm gonna go with my pick of the moment.

Color: Green! No, purple. Blue. Is rainbow a legitimate answer?

[Interruptor Jones]

To be fair, if I had to pick a book based on its literary merits, I'd have gone with God's Fires by Patricia Anthony. Also, metcarfre - thoughts on Girlfriend In a Coma? I picked it up once but it didn't hook me; hence I am curious.

[Evil Jim]

As for the DeLorean, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car why not do it with some style.

LRR Video: Any of the Small Time videos. I want more of these. Do I need to send money to get LRR off their butts to produce & film the next video? I know there are scripts.

Quote: "Evil will always triumph because Good is dumb."

Hmm, how do you describe why you like ice cream? I don't know, I love Coupland's writing style, and that book sucked me in more than any of his others. The pacing is very good. That ending is damn weird though. I couldn't tell you really - I lent it out some time ago (like years) and have never gotten it back.
