You (Pick 5 of the 10 questions to answer)
2. Make us laugh (picture, video, or text):
6. Inform us of, preferably display, some hidden talent(s) - something unique & interesting.
I like to draw animal skulls. I'm super-jazzed about veterinary medicine, so I pass time on the bus and train by drawing skulls and labeling them.
7. Why the hell are you applying here? I like that you put emphasis on applicants' personalities. That, and I have too much time on my hands.
8. Teach us something.
You know when you're hanging out with a cat, and they sniff something and pull their face into a scary vampire-sneer? When they pull their face like that, it allows the Jacobson's organ to open the ducts to their nasal cavity - there a few theories why they do this. First, to sniff out food, second, to help predict unusual occurrences (ie: earthquakes), and third, pheromones.
9. This is your space to do anything you like. Go for it. Sadly, you can't see me occupying this space and doing what I like to do. That is, smoking a bowl. Mmm.

Who is the supreme overlord of the universe? Clearly, her name is

Define Beauty OR Bitch. (Pull from dictionaries and we'll reject you on the spot.)
Bitch: Somebody who is both fabulously in tune with him/her-self *and* bears the propensity to deliver an excellent comeback.

http://baronvonbiron.livejournal.com/profile If you were allowed a threesome opportunity with any two Stamped Members, whom would you choose and why?
laotzu02 and
aquilinum, for sheer hotness factor.
Pick one existing member and one recent applicant who ought to be dressed as seals and thrown into shark-infested waters. Colourfully explain your choice. (Hint: This is your chance to show us your stuff. Wuss out and you'll be automatically rejected.)
x_onlyindreams_. That is, only if he left his house with the facial hair pictured in his members-list photo.
theperfect_lie_, too, because her whole application is made of fail.
Explain to us in amusing detail the best reason(s) for rejecting your application. My application breaks the margin on your Firefox browser by .5 millimeter. Now, this would be no big deal, if one did not believe in the butterfly effect. This skootched margin disturbed the flow of hyperspace, creating an interstellar traffic jam in an alternate universe. Therefore, you should reject *and* ban me for being an intergalactic douchebag.
What question do you feel should be on this application? Why? Now answer the question.
Ever have the perfect response you couldn't say? Here's your chance to tell it:
So, my partner's verrrrrrrrry Southern Baptist mother sent me a text saying "Happy Easter - Jesus has risen!". I had to hand my partner the phone, because if I replied, the only reply could be "Happy Easter - Jesus needs coffee."
Pictures:
At least three clear face shots- this means face forward, no high contrast. Ten picture maximum: one must be a candid shot, another a salute.
Let's get the worst out of the way first:
Semi-candid - I was using my laptop outside and trying to find my cursor as the morning sun blinded me before I had my morning coffee. Hit the goddamn photo button. Here's the result:
lol zoolander face
I don't know how to flip the photo.
Regardless of outcome, it was fun, ladies & gents! :D
