Ten Questions

[JALU3]

Just out of curiosity, I wondered how people on this board would answer the following questions. I have not seen a similar thread done on this in a search of this forum in the past, so maybe it's about time. Or maybe it should be a sub-thread in the pics/bio sticky?

Now my brother I think had one of the best answers to #10 that I have heard thus far. "Why the Hell are you here? And how did you get past St. Peter!?!"

That being said, I would like to see what our answers would be here on Subsim. Here are my answers:

1. Potential
2. Nigga'. (The slang of the "N Word") Followed closely by cannot/can't
3. Seeing/Observing good, loving, parenting in practice.
4. Undeserved anger
5. The sound the wind makes in a forest as a breeze makes its way
6. The quiet stillness which come just after death/expiration, especially after a valiant struggle. This is followed by "Gangsta Rap".
7. (The "F Word")
8. Civics/Government Teacher
9. Female Genital Mutilating/Cutting Practitioner
10. Your forgiven. Why don't you have another go at it, and try again. I am sure you can do better this time.

In many ways it is, but these questions are asked of every actor that has been on Inside the Actors Studio, as hosted by James Lipton, and as seen here in the US on the Bravo Network.
Here are some examples:
*Robert Redford
*Clint Eastwood
*Dave Chappelle

Suprisingly George Carlin stated that his favorite curse word was "Mother****er", and to God's statement question he, as a noted athiest, would like to hear "Now we're going to have some fun around here."
