If all you could eat was ice cream, what flavour would you choose?

It was NBC I believe, then went to Yahoo for the final season. There's lots of in-jokes about how unmarketable and unlikeable the characters are.

Donald Glover is a treasure.

He is, and the Abed/Troy relationship/story line is indescribably awesome.

What’s something you’d love to do but are irrationally terrified to try?

Mine is skydiving.

I am rationally terrified to try skydiving.

Luckily, I don't want to either.

I guess zip-lining? I'm not sure I'd love to do it but my fear of heights makes it unlikely that I will try it. Oh wait - that's it! I'd love to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower but no way in heck I'd be able to do it given my fear of heights.

Do beans belong in chili? What about mushrooms?

Beans - yes! Mushrooms - no!

Most underrated artists?

Allen Stone for me. Not really my favorite style of music, but the dude can sing!

Is a hot dog a sandwich?

Nope.

The Lady or the Tiger is a brilliant short story.

I think the best short story ever written is Nipple Jesus by Nick Hornby.

You have to chose between speaking pig latin or like a pirate for the rest of your life.

Which do you choose, and why?

D'uh, pirate.

Way more fun and it's mostly just adopting an accent and adding "matey" to the end of a few sentences, so, easier.

Was thinking the same, but because I could say "booty".

Wool clothing- itchy, or comfortable?

All wools are not equal. If you find wool itchy, try a different kind of wool. (Cough, merino, cough.)

The best knitting yarns are wool. Sure, other fibers have their time and place, but the best way to give a fiber more versatility? Blend it with wool.

If all you could eat was ice cream, what flavour would you choose?

Butter pecan, because it would provide at least some protein - also, delicious.

Beans belong in mushrooms. Also, chili belongs in mushrooms.

I have a friend in a group that goes to Vegas every year* for a poker junket. At some point, a little too late at night, he will start busting out the same string of pirate jokes. Every time. And they are funnier each year because they are soooooo bad.

Remind me to tell you some, along with the story about the pimento cheese and about my pregnant wife at a Springsteen show.

What’s something you’d love to do but are irrationally terrified to try?

Mine is skydiving.

I would think about skydiving when they were offering a free first trip at Duke - but then someone I knew would actually do it and break a bone. I haven't gotten the courage to try it yet.

I'm not sure this is truly irrationally terrified - who jumps out of a perfectly good plane?

Beans in chili is acceptable.

Mushrooms should be eaten on an empty stomach. Wholly different thing.

Are we talking about the same kind of mushrooms? 🤣
