OK, so I'm not superstitious, but I don't see how that translates into having complete control over your own destiny. Maybe I'm just behind in my reading on Existentialism.

More to the point, how can the choices about whether 7 is a lucky number exclude any reference to whether you're betting the pass line or the don't pass line in craps?

Was I supposed to have heard about half of those superstitions? Yellow lights? Train tracks? Cemetaries?

Jack, you are a Comfort Cranberry

Very sweet with just a tad of tart makes you irresistible to be around. It seems like you've found a great balance between spontaneity and practicality — which is a very difficult task. You've managed to tap into an incredible source of fun while staying grounded and checking in with yourself. Good for you.

Checking in with yourself? Is this some sort of double entendre?

Plus, I'm (only) 18.73767% - Geek. My geekiness has really declined since Freshman year of high school. Thank God. I've replaced math/D&D/computer geekiness with the more socially acceptable film/music geekiness.

You certainly don't let superstitions dictate your life! You know that crossing your fingers can't really change your luck, but you don't dismiss them completely either. Maybe you entertain them just for fun. To learn more about how superstitious you are, and what that says about you, sign up with Emode.com!

You've got a gift for lightening up the mood with your silly sense of humor and with the unique levity with which you approach life.

Let's not forget to mention your skills in the romance department — you've got the flirty moves that can attract anyone you've got your eye on. It's as if you cast your spell and there's just nothing left for the victim to do but fall for you completely. It's a great talent to have! And once people know you, they fall even further for your sweet, kind-hearted, caring ways that make you someone everyone wants to have around. So maybe it's time to order a cocktail that can complement your charm.

(so co, grapefruit, pineapple and club soda?)

(B) a brother or sister, of the whole or half blood or by adoption;
(C) a parent's brother or sister, of the whole or half blood or by adoption; or
(D) a son or daughter of a brother or sister, of the whole or half blood or by adoption.

Not that I am a proponent of marrying one's cousin, but I know I read an article not too long ago basically saying that the whole "genetic problem" due to incest was for the most part way overstated and unless the parties are carriers of something nasty (including ugliness, perhaps), it's not actually a problem. OTOH - EWWWW!

Tee hee. I'm not superstitious, but I'm classy.

Southern Manhattan

Just like SoHo and the West Village of NYC, your charm and sophistication go unmatched. It seems that you've got that incredible sense of style and the cultural know-how that inevitably impress everyone with whom you come in contact. It's called "class," and you've got a ton of it. What's even better is that you've managed to achieve this level of understated elegance without even a tad of arrogance.

You're extremely warm, open, and approachable — which makes you all the more irresistible! People might be intimidated because you definitely are the "whole package," but once they get to know you, they quickly realize that you're just as nice as you are cool. So maybe it's time to try a cocktail that suits your sophistication.

Just grab a chilled martini glass, and one for your friends. Add 2 1/4 oz of Southern Comfort, 3/4 oz of dry Vermouth, a dash of Angostura bitters, a Maraschino cherry, crushed iced, and a strainer. That’s the ticket for a signature cocktail that’s as enchanting and alluring as you are. For more great drink recipes, click here!

Well, I won't bother to repost that I, Burger, am, according to emode, exactly the same. Don't know how they got that from the questions. But I am wondering what I would be if I'd chosen McConaghey over Reese.

You are a "Scumbag".

"Your "Comfort Drink" (tm) contains no Southern Comfort at all, as you despise the taste of maple syrup mixed with the finest of slightly vinegared wines and rubbing alcohols. Thus, you must be boring, obnoxious, and not at all the type of person to whom we might address future marketing ploys for our "niche" cheese-food-inspired alcohol product.

Emode Freud Test
 
Anybody who has noticed my compulsive editing of posts would not be surprised by the following result:

robustpuppy, Freud would say your strongest unconscious conflict stems from events that happened when you were a Toddler.

He would also conclude that relative to others, your personality today is moderately affected by the events of your childhood. It appears that your biggest unconscious conflict that still afflicts you stems from what Freud defined as the anal stage of development that occurred when you were between a year and a half and three years old. Freud would say that this conflict can manifest in your personality by giving you a tendency to be especially orderly or clean, or "retentive." You may also harbor a strong rebellious streak. This normally happens when parents toilet-train a child on some kind of schedule, rather than at the child's natural pace and the child naturally reacts by struggling for their autonomy and the legitimacy of their needs.

I bet I'm not the only toddler among us.

Being with you is like taking a vacation. When it comes right down to it, you're good-hearted, smooth, and just the right amount of sweet.

I hate mixing coconut and pineapple--better off separate. That said, I love other drinks with little umbrellas. Margaritas all around!:D

Yes - I didn't type that since I figured anyone marrying their aunt or uncle must by definition qualify as a nephew or niece.

Also - the person must also be over 18, unless parental consent is given, then 14 or older, unless judical permission is given, and if you get the judge to OK it - there's no minimum age. So you can marry your 12yo cousin as long as you get her knocked up first so the judge basically has to grant permission.

I know 'everyone's doing it', but that doesn't mean its legal. Ok - chances are slim that anyone is ever going to prosecute you, but it just takes one bit of bad luck. It may seem easier to take the quick, cheaper option, but they might just clamp down. Nah, you'll be fine… Well maybe not. Yeah its OK… Actually… Ooh. Aah.
