Platypus' Prediction Game

Very nearly correct, Mags! This poster would like to have bacon for breakfast, but doesn't usually get the opportunity. My wife's work schedule means that I generally feed the kids breakfast. My 9 year old daughter can eat a truly stunning quantity of bacon. Usually, whatever I cook is consumed, and we sometimes go on to rounds 2 and 3. At this point, I've fried so much pork belly, that it loses its appeal.

OK, I predict the next poster has considered a tattoo, but rejected the idea. I further predict that they never even considered decorative scarring or branding.

Nope, never even thought a tattoo would be fun, I'm needle-phobic!

I predict that the next poster is pricing building materials / wood...

Correct,Had an aluminum screened porch added to the home.
The dark bronze color (almost black)Works out well with
the brick home. I also had a new liner added to the inground
swimming pool.I did not use any wood though.

The next poster will be losing weight so they will be all pretty and
stuff...Like me..LOL:flames:Remember beauty is only skin deep but,
ugly is to the bone...;)

Guts, I notice you said nothing about scarring or branding.

Sorry, my mistake. No brandings, a few scars, mostly from stupidity. I have a nice cluster of scars on my chin from a dog bite when I was 5. That is when I got the phobia about needles...

I predict that the next poster recently cracked a tooth.

Cracked - maybe - it is very sensitive at the moment, so maybe just the filling is loose. Going to the Dentist on Wednesday....

Losing weight is something I do alot of, then I gain it again. I know I lose it when my trousers (pants) fall down without a belt which they are doing at the moment. I don't weigh myself - far too depressing!

I predict the next poster won't have to answer two predictions to put the thread straight and instead will just have to say whether s/he has blue eyes.

Yes when I was younger it was blond hair and blue eyes.
Now it is gray hair and blue eyes:)






Next poster likes wood working.

Yup, I love woodworking, I just do "knot" do it as well as I "wood" like to.

Sorry, I couldn't resist the cheap puns.

I predict that the next poster is also a big fan of the lowest form of humor, the pun.

"Don't you know in the Service, sir, one must always choose the lesser of two weevils?"

I predict the next poster is fed up with having to run multiple malware removal programs to clean infected computers.

I've only got one computer, so I can't complain

The next poster will be wandering round at night, unable to sleep and wondering why they've turned their computer on, when there isn't really much on tonight?

You mean you turn off your computer?!? How on earth will they be able to come to full sentience if you keep turning them off? As to wandering around at night, it's usually because I have an idea on how to do something and I will research it or write it up so I make my own entertainment :D

I predict the next poster is writing a grocery shopping list.

Who on earth writes shopping lists, when we all have computers? See attached view of Word Document, so easy.

Next poster will have eaten a bag of crisps or really greasy chips this week and not worried about their waistline, cholesterol, arteries, etc...

True. I eat lots of chips, and don't sweat the waste line. :p

The next poster will be gearing up for their summer vacation soon.

In the middle of winter? No such luck...

The next poster can do a reasonably good painting (art, not housepainting :) )

False, I'd get more paint on me than the canvas. The only artistic talent I possess is being able to "burp" the alphabet.

I predict that the next poster prefers Earl Grey tea over any other kind.

Platypus missed the pun... or is it just your dreadful spelling 3FS?

yuck, hate Earl Grey... I like tea, not perfume!

I predict the next person thinks Decaff coffee is nasty.

nope, I've always said it is called a "waste" line for a reason :p

Not so much nasty as a waste of time ...:)

The next poster will prefer fat-barrel (comfort-grip) pens over the conventional skinny type.

Dead right, RG! I made money for college mostly doing construction and I have the wear and tear to show for it. Say! Speaking of "dead right", I predict the next poster has never encountered a ghost.

Been creeped out by a few people, but never a ghost...

I predict the next poster has a collection of ornaments to which they are emotionally attached, but has little monetary value.

Nope, the only things I collect are dvd's, cd's, books and dust!

I predict that the next poster checks this site every single day.

Frequently, but not daily.

I see the form of a poster, a poster who enjoys MMOR games a bit too much.

Nope, I am a bit of a Pocket Tanks fan, but that is all.

I predict that the next poster has a sentimental attachment to a certain screwdriver that he / she has used lo these many years.

Yes that would be right. Several of my screwdrivers are many years old and worn just the right way to drive screws at odd angles. And somewhere there's a neat little brass 2-section screw-together driver that would be older than I am. It was old when I used to borrow it when I was a kid.

I suspect the next poster runs their own business.

Ding Ding!

OK, so it took me a month to answer...

The next poster has played Zelda in one form or another.

Never a one - any version, platform.

The next poster owns (or at least pays the bill for) more cell phones than they do PDA/hand-held computing devices.

Well, yes....1 vs 0.
I should've answered the Zelda one...only one I missed was the Gamecube one.
The next poster let recently off a straight line that let someone really zing them.

uhhhhhmmmm not sure... can you translate please :grin:

The next poster doesn't know where the vacuum cleaner is kept in their house.

Strewth, it has been over a month!

But, no, missed it there Noo. The vacuum cleaner is a couple of yards away from my feet. And the others are in the shed... :)

I guess that the next poster will have their next birthday in 2008

Wrong Platypus. My birthday is this month, in fact the 24.

I guess it will be a week or longer before another person will reply to this Thread.

Nope, only a day...


I predict that the next poster uses a U.S.B. drive for backups, rather than a tape backup.

At home, yes; at work, no.

The next poster has a job where they have to wear a picture ID badge while at work.

Yes Required By Employer where ever I go Place to Place.



Next poster has to wear Cpap at night to sleep:)

Nope, I sleep just fine without one...

The next poster has recently missed an episode in his/her favourite program and is annoyed about it.

Nope, I rarely watch T.V. anymore.

I predict that the next poster made a tidy sum of $$$ fixing someones computer recently.

No, I don't fix 'em, I just write programs. However, I did get a 5% raise this month without any warning. :D

I predict the next poster is building, or has recently built, a quad core machine. :p

I wish. My DVR would run so much better on one.

Next poster has/had a major headache today...just like I do now.

My only major headache is getting this coding done... uggh

I predict the next poster is wearing something blue.

My uniform is blue I work today. 22 day`s more until vacation woo hoo





Next poster does not like Ice Cream:eek:
