For me

Risky
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.

Based on your answers, we have calculated the maximum penalty for your crimes*:

I did some research on this topic for, um, personal reasons, so can report that it is legal to marry your first cousin in at least 13 states (plus others if you are past childbearing age or meet requirements like genetic counseling). It is legal to marry your second cousin in every state. I don't know of any states in which it is legal to marry your aunt/uncle or niece/nephew, including Utah.

However, studies I reviewed said that it's probably okay in most instances to marry an aunt/uncle or niece/nephew, from a genetic/birth defects standpoing, unless you know you are a carrier for a genetic disease. Of course, the okayness would greatly decrease as the practice is repeated.

I was channel surfing last night and saw that thing on escaping the Kingstons. They are one creepy bunch. There is a possibility that I am distantly related by marriage to the rescuer-helper Jonathan Atkisson.

On another note, I am 19.9211% Geek. I'll report back on the results of the SFC and a long-time ex-boyfriend, who are both geeks for a living.

weird that you got the exact same result as me and posted right after i did. did you also shoplift candy from the store when you were a child?

of course, rather than turning me over to the police my mom just paid for the candy and took care of the punishment herself.

So you're saying you're a criminal, but just not a very successful one? :D

Dodgy
 

well, i was about six and that day i learned a very valuable lession: namely it is never a good idea to eat stolen candy directly in front of your mother.

mnd, you are probably my best friend from grade school.

You were lucky. My mom made me return to the store, 'fess my sins and apologize to the owner. Oh the horror.

Geek
 

I'm sure this makes me more of a geek, but I did a little fiddling and apparently the questions aren't at all weighted. I did this by checking (in addition to all my other answers) "waited 2+ hours in line for a movie," then switching that with "waited 12+ hours in line for a movie," which of course should get more weight, right? and the scores were the same.

Maybe they figure you wouldn't check the 12 box without checking the 2 box, but it seems obvious that some things (like going to band camp or working as a theater techie or playing D&D every waking moment) are geekier than going to a museum for fun.

Anyway, there's no way I buy the test as accurate, because the SFC only scored 21%, and I can get my score that high just by adding "I know my Jedi name" and "I can think of other things that should get me points on this test." And he's a C++ programmer, for heaven's sake!

R.S.V.P. question
 

Is everyone seeing a rising tide of rudeness vis-a-vis responses to social invitations? Just yesterday, two couples of otherwise conscientous friends finally responded (by phone) to invitations we mailed three weeks ago. (One declined, I think because they always wait until the last possible moment to get better offers, and finally came up with one; the other accepted.) We like these people just fine, but criminy. It's getting tough to take. I should note that both couples had been subjected to voicemails subtly asking for replies; we had written both off when the calls weren't returned for a week.

I originally thought it was because the people out West worth having at parties can tend toward the unrefined and flaky, but is it true elsewhere, too?

Warning: You can't hear the "We assumed because you hadn't heard from us . . . " response and the "Of course, you knew we wouldn't miss it for the world" response in the same day without your head exploding.

Classic federal judge. "The worst I have ever seen"? Jesus, the average state court judge has seen five necrophiliac child dismemberment murders before lunchtime. Federal judges see one forcible or violent crime every three years and they go nuts with the sentencing because it's always more appalling than a visa violation or felon-in-possession.

Maybe one of the former clerks on the board can tell me whether they ever met a federal judge who had a fucking clue how ugly a real crime can really be.

R.S.V.P. question
 

You mean you didn't get my RSVP? I sent it back last week. Oh shit, the stamp was upside down. That explains the possibility of death thing. Now I don't get to come to your party AND I get death. Those fuckers.

Cake or death? :D

edited to say congrats to The Rocket. Glad he could do it in front of a friendly crowd. But hey, was that chubby little kid standing behind him in the interview his? Is it me or were there just not that many chubby kids when we were young? Were we more active or did their moms just hide them?

Just remember, any "internet" poll is usually voted upon in a ratio of helpless, pitiful, acne-infested wonks to normal humaniods in a ratio of at least 3 to 1.

Remember the People "100 most beautiful people" from a couple years ago?

Remember how "Hank the angry drunk dwarf" beat the living pants off everybody else???

Upstanding

How refreshing that there are still people around like you, who respect society and the law. Your Grandparents would be proud. You have a good knowledge of the law and a good public spirit, or you have rarely left the house… Either way - keep it up old fruit!

Based on your answers, we have calculated the maximum penalty for your crimes*:

Years in prison: 5 Potential fine: £2000

*Please note this is just a fun quiz so don't be alarmed by your score! The maximum penalty has been taken for each crime and no consideration for scale of crime committed.

Interesting that upstanding people in the UK still get 5 years. No wonder the crime rate's higher across the pond.

Consider that Judge Breyer only gave Ed Rosenthal time served when the probation report asked for 3+ years and the DOJ wanted 7 years, and perhaps we can put Breyer on the list of federal judges who don't fly off the handle at sentencing.

The push for sentencing guidelines actually came out of the Bay Area, where a dealer could get probation or 20 years depending on which judge caught the case. Now it's fairer....they all get 30 years.

DVD Recommendation
 

I highly recommend Roger Dodger.

My weekend's only disappointment: the OddMan's Geek Test score was disappointing low -- a 16.96252% Geek. I'd hoped his scifi library and tech job would have provided a significantly higher score.

I'll suggest Bend it like Beckham, which was pretty cute.

Pretty much a typical second generation kid wants to do something nontraditional, lies to mom and dad and silliness results.

But it was fun to watch.


And hey, apparently, money CAN buy happiness...sort of

I second. Mr. Elk and I saw it last week. The soccer is cheesy, but the movie is very entertaining. Loved the soundtrack.

I actually thought the movie was painful to watch. What did you like about it?

Emode Freud Test
 

I am a "poodle". I guess that is good since they are the smartest dog and look great when they dont have the silly haircut. I apparently became a poodle as a toddler, but had differnet experiences than RP during todlerhood where she was more anal than I. What does that make her. All I know is that my test seems frightfully right on. I am trying to be less "expulisve". I dont get how this makes me poodlelike though. Are they wild, rebellious dogs? If so, why would they allow the stupid haircut>
The Freud Test

Email Addresses:










paigow, 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 unusually disorderly or messy, or "expulsive." You may also harbor a strong rebellious streak. This normally happens when parents neglected toilet-training and gave too much control to a child and the child naturally reacts by exerting their power and indulging their desires.

Freud defined five psychosexual developmental stages that everyone goes through on their way from infancy to adolescence. And each of those stages is associated with adult personality traits. At each stage, we all had to overcome certain "conflicts" or hurdles as we learned new skills and developed relationships with others. No one gets through all five stages without having trouble with at least one of them. And it's this unresolved "trouble" that Freud encouraged people to travel back to, recognize, and overcome.

DVD Recommendation
 

I give Roger Dodger a thumbs down. What did you like about it? I have loved Campbell Scott ever since he stole my heart in Singles all those years ago. But in this moive I just wished he would shut the fuck up, which of course, is the point, but it does not make for pleasant viewiing.

One thing about that movie that tied in with the FB was his writing in lipstick on Rosallini's mirro "she likes it up the ass". what was that thread awhile back? THat its a way of marking your territory- showing you fully conquered her?

And speaking of DVDs= I saw Sunset Boulevard this weekend (trying to get the occasional classic in now that I am over my life long fear of black and white movies). I now realize that a few movies have borrowed from it. American Beauty took its opening sequence from Sunset for sure. And Faye Dunway, who was lambasted and iconized simultaenously for her over the top performance in "Mommie" clearly drew from the over the top performances of the days gone by like that from GLoria Swanson. I saw "The Women" and saw similar over the topness. I beleive they thought this was good acting back then, so why wasnt it when Mommie came out? I call Faye' performance a tribute.

and it was a good flick. I recommend.
