<game> Have You Ever Version 1 <Approved by TML>

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

At least once when I was fishing in Norway in 1998, I actually got one. On the other hand, I never feeded he fishes we had in my Haapavesi family home, it wasn't even my job, so I couldn't say I killed them.

No but how would it get stuck on your face?

[Fett One]

Yes but I have never ridden in one.

[Crazy Elf Boy]

I played one of Gameboy once

Have you ever had 10 drinks of alcohol in one night?

[Fett One]

No, I don't drink.

Have you ever stole candy from a baby?

[Knight of Time]

No, I wouldn't sink that low, and besides, I don't think too many babies would eat candy these days. (BTW, Fett One, on the subject of bubble gum, if you blow a bubble too much, the result I mentioned above can easily happen with some varieties, nasty!)

[mr_pikachu]

Yes, although it's been a few years.

Have you ever accidentally read a plot spoiler for a TV show/book/etc. that you were still watching or reading?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

So many times. Like I dreamt once I was a Pokemon trainer. Also, I still remember how I had just watched Fourth Round Rumble and I was walking at Kokkola railway station and couldn't get the Pokemon music out of my head. I imagined I was battling a girl in Kimono in that snowy winter landscape. I also have had some stronger and more serious imaginations regarding animes like Pokemon and Sailor Moon.

[Fett One]

Never have and probably never will.

Have you ever known a person that makes you so mad that you feel like punching them even though you never will?

No. I'm not much for politics.

Have you ever voted for a third-party candidate?

Not really

Have you ever eaten something you shouldn't have?

[Fett One]

Last night at dinner, I shouldn't have had that extra slice of pizza.

Have you ever gotten into a fist fight with a person of the opposite gender?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

It was close. I was in a party and a girl I had a crush on approached one of my classmates. I thought it wouldn't be okay since the girl had another boyfriend already. I just was so ill and perhaps a little drunk (the only time I have been in my life) back there that I had to intervene. I grabbed her shoulders two times and tried to drive her away from the boy but she easily released herself both times but left my classmate alone then.

No, I haven't.

Have you ever gone outside your house to look into the sky for things such as stars, constellations, or even planets?

[mr_pikachu]

Many times, yes. About a year ago I went outside my parents' house and found, to my astonishment, that I could see a sort of milkiness in the night sky. We all stayed outside just staring at it in awe for about a half-hour. I've also gazed at Mars, shooting stars, or just an especially cloudless sky.

Have you ever gone to a bar?

Have you ever bought an electronic device that proved so difficult to use that you never learned how to use it?

[Dark-San]

Nope. I always do sufficient research on a particular product before deciding to purchase one. If possible, I always try more of a hands- on approach first with the same products bought by friends or samples. The most difficult device I have ever come across and tried to use would be my PDA phone, when I decided to install both the codec and flash application just to watch animes with it. >.<

Have you ever tried rushing home after 2 hours of traveling when you found out that you have forgotten to bring the most important item?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

No but I was quite pissed after unpacking all my stuff and food that I forgot to bring salt.

Have you ever eaten 5 different meats at one sitting?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Don't remember. I guess my record is only two, cow plus chicken. Or if fish counts, three.

Have you ever dressed up as an anime character?

[Dark-San]

Nope. I do not have the finances to support this hobby either. Blame it on the recession.

Have you ever made an animated GIF?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Yes, once or twice.

[Fett One]

Yes but they were always minor scraps and cuts.

Have you ever had a headache so bad that it kept you from sleeping?

[Dark-San]

Have you ever corrected someone's grammatical mistakes?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Not grammatical, but a lot of spelling errors.

Have you ever gone to an anime convention?

[Dark-San]

I was full or energy back then and although the time limit was much looser I read it in something like 6 hours, only watched Pokemon during one break.

Also, I have accidentially seen another student's test paper and then wrote down the same because my own memory was refreshed, but that's probably ordinary. I would have had a change to write cribs in Japanese but never did.
