Your Questions: Ask JFrater

1. Kathryn - April 1st, 2008 at 3:34 pm

Will you marry me?

2. jfrater - April 1st, 2008 at 3:36 pm

hahahaha - that was incredibly fast Kathryn I am not sure how I would answer THAT particular question

3. Cyn - April 1st, 2008 at 3:38 pm

ROFLMAO

4. RK - April 1st, 2008 at 3:41 pm

hahaha nice kathryn
classy

5. Cyn - April 1st, 2008 at 3:42 pm

aside from my previous comment…actually do think this a wonderful idea.

6. Csimmons - April 1st, 2008 at 3:48 pm

Post a pic of yourself, as far as i know, you could be a creepy guy who kills people, then again maybe not

oh, nice kathryn

7. Dana - April 1st, 2008 at 3:56 pm

Don’t you get tired of hearing, “Nice list, but you forgot Gilbert Gottfried’s haunting performance as the clown in 1976’s ‘Dancing with Monkeys’?” for the Top Ten Male Performances or “Where’s George Foreman’s ‘Just Grillin’? on this list?” for the Top 20 Songs by Sportsmen?

8. jfrater - April 1st, 2008 at 3:58 pm

Csimmons: try clicking “about” on the navigation bar at the top of every page

Dana: that is an easy one: yes! That is the reason I wrote the Top 10 reasons JFrater doesn’t want to write another film list (and then proceeded to write another 50!)

9. Du - April 1st, 2008 at 4:15 pm

jfrater…. do you like pie?
because i like pie
infact, i love pie
what kind of pie do you like?

10. Tony - April 1st, 2008 at 4:43 pm

Would you rather masterbate 20 times in a 3 hour period, or take a 4 hour long number 2 that is a cummulative length of 14 feet?

11. SubliminalDeath666 - April 1st, 2008 at 4:52 pm

LOL!!! Tony’s question is just plain retarded….

Anyways, what I wanted to ask is, what really inspired you to make a website dedicated to lists about everything? You sir, are doing a really good job at this. EVERYONE loves a good list! Especially me! And thank you for reading this and hopefully it goes as one of the Top Ten Questions for JFrater! Peace!

12. Phender_Bender - April 1st, 2008 at 4:53 pm

Is this website your main source of income?
How much money do you make on this site per month?
Where did you get the idea for this site?
How did you get this site started, and how did you help boost the popularity?

13. GTA - April 1st, 2008 at 5:01 pm

Jfrater, I just think you’re awesome, I wish i had a question, but i pretty much have you all figured out, lol

14. Ginger Lee - April 1st, 2008 at 5:12 pm

Kathryn beat me too it. wink… How bout will you take me with you to New Zealand? I can’t ship their wine to UT and selection sucks here.

15. jorgec8 - April 1st, 2008 at 5:28 pm

Would you party with me? Since you seem to know a lot about booze I think it would be definetely interesting to share a drink or two with you, the only problem is, the thousands of kilometers between our current locations.

16. jimmy schaps - April 1st, 2008 at 5:32 pm

jfrater: So you’re a opera singer?

17. Cyn - April 1st, 2008 at 5:39 pm

“If you want to participate, send your question to questions@listverse.com …”

in some bizarre April Fool’s Day is everday quirk of fate…commenting has become emailing. hhhmm…wonder what else this would work on?

uh..comment on the entry. email your questions to the addy provided.
thank you. that is all.

18. SnowKid32 - April 1st, 2008 at 5:42 pm

I HATE YOU DIE YOU STUPID IDIOT THIS SITE SUCKS AND I HATE ALL OF IT’S STUPID UGLY HOMO MEMBERS!

APRIL FOOLS!
This site gets a 10/10 ANY time!

19. Bass - April 1st, 2008 at 5:52 pm

To Jamie: I really thought you were going to do a top ten best pranks list. Why didn’t you? Ah well, theres always next year.

20. rodeograndma - April 1st, 2008 at 5:55 pm

Did or do you play any sports?

21. InfiniteJorge - April 1st, 2008 at 5:56 pm

some questions:

Are you married? Do you have kids? How old are they? Do you have siblings? Are you the youngest/eldest/middle?

Is this site your main job? or do you work other jobs? If so, what are your other jobs? What makes more money, this site or your other jobs?

How do you think to start this site? What do your friends/family think of it?

Tell us about your life please. How come you journey from the UK to New Zealand? Friends? Family? Work? Elaborate!

Where did you spend your childhood? Where did you go to college? etc.

What are your religious beliefs?

Just a few for now.

22. goof_ball - April 1st, 2008 at 6:31 pm

This is a horrible idea! April Fools! lol Haha! That was stupid I know, I was just bored. =)

23. Ghidoran - April 1st, 2008 at 6:32 pm

So, like, how old are you? I’m getting the idea you’re not a teen.

24. Cyn - April 1st, 2008 at 6:39 pm

23. Ghidoran

scroll up to the navbar. see about. click about. see Our Lord JFrater in all his ageless blue eyed holiness (and hunkiness).

then email some decent questions to the addy posted in the freaking entry. gah!

25. Crimanon - April 1st, 2008 at 6:42 pm

Where can I get some of your performances?
When are you going on tour, if at all?
Who would you perform with living or dead?
Want a beer?
Would you smoke this?
Do you know the sound of one hand clapping?
It’s the end of the world and you’re out of food, who do you eat first?

Why am I asking the questions here instead of emailing?… Don’t answer that

26. Anne - April 1st, 2008 at 6:45 pm

24. Cyn

He is kinda hunky, isn’t he? XD Too old for me unfortunately, hehe.

27. Lizim - April 1st, 2008 at 6:48 pm

I know! The HOTNESS! Alas I am already married, and in America, and fear that his intelligence would make me weep in real life.

28. Csimmons - April 1st, 2008 at 6:57 pm

resonse to a comment #8 by jamie:Wow, that pic of you makes you almost seem like serial killer, LOL! just kiddin’ man

29. Cyn - April 1st, 2008 at 7:02 pm

25. Crimanon

“Why am I asking the questions here instead of emailing?… Don’t answer that..”

he won’t. but i will. hhhmm…too lazy to open your email service and dash off a quick email, eh? the wonders of the internet and Windows (or operating system of your choice). multiple windows open at the same time. Listverse in one. you email service in another. your fav porn site in another..oh wait. er…

26. Anne

“Too old..” uh…yeah if your under the age of consent. (and like how old are you?)

otherwise…he is ageless. (’sides i’m the senior member of this shindig)

27. Lizim

da dude has got some smarts, for sure.

30. rhharley - April 1st, 2008 at 7:11 pm

Damn, I clicked the ‘about’, those are some serious peepers! Nice eyes, mate.

31. Mom424 - April 1st, 2008 at 7:11 pm

What kind of camera do you use?
What type of knives do you use? pots and pans?

32. Caycee99 - April 1st, 2008 at 7:21 pm

JFrater,
I enjoy your page. I have learned some interesting facts and even watched some of the movies you recommended. My question is, Where in New Zealand do you live? I have a friend there who lives in Papatoetoe and works as a commercial fisherman.

33. Cyn - April 1st, 2008 at 7:30 pm

in a desperate attempt to make people actually read preceding comments…Cyn goes topless!

pic of Cyn topless…NSFW not safe for sighted persons of any age

oh…the waning hours of the day that is the fools day..*sigh*

34. Lizim - April 1st, 2008 at 7:37 pm

Cyn that was AWESOME!

35. matt - April 1st, 2008 at 7:38 pm

Just wondering if you created and submitted your own wikipedia and imdb entries?

Also did you photoshop your picture to give youself unnaturally blue eyes?

If the answer is yes to either question please explain why.

Cheers

36. stevenh - April 1st, 2008 at 7:39 pm

Cyn:
The senior member? Whew, and all this time I thought it was me….

If Jamie ever makes the user name a link to the profile (or if we ever make enough posts to make the ‘top commenters’ list) members of this community will know so much more about each other.

37. Cyn - April 1st, 2008 at 7:41 pm

34. Lizim

thank you. i will not be held liable for commenters struck blind or mad from viewing that pic.

38. Cyn - April 1st, 2008 at 7:46 pm

36. stevenh

well, senior member of admin. (in terms of age.) no idea who the oldest lister is.
i’m 51. so not sure if any the regular listers are older than that or not. if so …speak up!

39. Lizim - April 1st, 2008 at 7:48 pm

I thought my 2 tattoos looked weird on me now that I am a stay at home mom! When I was a nurse I worked in a nursing home. There was this little old man, Walter, he had a few tattoos and he would tell all these crazy stories about them. Always to impress the ladies. It was too funny!

40. Jono - April 1st, 2008 at 7:50 pm

Jfrater: So you’re moving back to NZ. When, and where. Do you have any business ideas that you’re looking to expand? I really admire how you’ve exploded this website, and I aspire to do something similar later on in my own life.

:]

41. stevenh - April 1st, 2008 at 7:53 pm

(Aug, 1955) - just a bit older, but probably no wiser.

Based on the pic sent, you are definitely cuter

My pic is also online - on a cover of a Wrox Press book. (a geek reference).

42. Cyn - April 1st, 2008 at 7:53 pm

39. Lizim

okay..i Googled naked old ladies and found her pic. actually she’s 80 (wonder if she’s still alive?) and posed for some artsy fartsy older naked women project or something. so she will be forever 80 and tatt’ed up online. having looked more closely at her tatts…i’m rethinking ever getting any myself. gravity and time is not kind to skin or skin art. *ugh*

43. Lizim - April 1st, 2008 at 7:58 pm

Cyn it all depends on WHERE you get then. For ladies NO breasts and NO stomach. Probably no butt either as childbirth and gravity take a MAJOR toll on those areas. I have one on my shoulder and a “tramp stamp”. After 2 kids and almost ten years they still look pretty good.

It’s just like real estate, “Location, location, location”.

44. Lizim - April 1st, 2008 at 7:59 pm

Cyn

BTW do you feel like just a bit of a perv for goggling “naked old ladies”?

45. Cyn - April 1st, 2008 at 8:00 pm

41. stevenh

YIPPIE! there’s another old fart at LV. well, at least one other. as for the geek ref…Googled it and couldn’t really tell from the bookcover but looked a lot like highschool yearbook pics from the 60’s or 70’s.

as for naked tatt granny i ain’t got no tatts. don’t wear glasses but to read. and i’m still mostly brunette (damn sure not all gray/white like her). ‘nuf said.

46. Cyn - April 1st, 2008 at 8:03 pm

Lizim

okay. gotcha on ‘location’.

perv? oh honey, if you only knew. but yeah, the old ladies was new even for me. ROFLMAO

47. Lizim - April 1st, 2008 at 8:12 pm

I can just imagine my husband coming across that I had searched for naked old lady pics. I think I’ll do it just to see what he says. There are still a few hours left in April Fools Day!

48. badlist - April 1st, 2008 at 8:23 pm

where’s the beef?

49. badlist - April 1st, 2008 at 8:26 pm

and the most important question of our generation……….Who Let The Dogs Out?

riddle me that james p frater III?

50. Phillies - April 1st, 2008 at 8:41 pm

Haha, this whole section is silly. Everyone knows that NOBODY, but NOBODY, questions JFrater.

51. logar - April 1st, 2008 at 8:55 pm

Do you like Flight of the Conchords? Have you met Frodo, and how is he doing lately? I’ve heard that Mordor is ok- it’s more of a dry heat. Is this true?

52. YogiBarrister - April 1st, 2008 at 10:00 pm

Have you ever banged Xena the Warrior Princess? What do you call Chinese Gooseberries?

53. Himself - April 1st, 2008 at 10:59 pm

When president Bush said he would never raise taxes, was he lying or just kidding ?

54. stormy617 - April 1st, 2008 at 11:22 pm

1. Kathryn, LOL I already asked Jamie that in the forums. He never answered me either LMAO

55. NOBODY - April 1st, 2008 at 11:47 pm

I’ve got a few questions that need answering…

56. Anne - April 2nd, 2008 at 12:04 am

29. Cyn

Yeah, I’m 16. How about we say I’m too young instead of he’s too old, sounds nicer XD

57. Cyn - April 2nd, 2008 at 12:33 am

56. Anne

oh yeah honey. never tell a man he’s too old. smart for 16, aren’t ya? good thing too.

58. jfrater - April 2nd, 2008 at 12:59 am

Thanks for all the questions everyone I am planning to answer some of the questions sent in and maybe some from the comments here too - the answers will appear in a future list

59. Crimanon - April 2nd, 2008 at 1:26 am

Cyn: Not too lazy to open email; just too excited to notice that you send them in. In any case problem solved. Cute pic, I bet the artist was thrilled.

60. Crimanon - April 2nd, 2008 at 1:29 am

Stevenh: Good call on the profiles; I always wondered why it went away to begin wiith.

61. Crimanon - April 2nd, 2008 at 1:43 am

Who is more addicted a Crackhead or a ListVerser?
Are you afflicted with “beer googles”?
When you brush your teeth is up and down or side to side?
Have you ever been so offended reading comments that your ears started ringing due to a spike in blood pressure? What was it?

Silly questions I’m not going to bother to email.

62. flamiejamie - April 2nd, 2008 at 3:02 am

I have a good question.
Is this the same JFrater and Cyn from Kingdom of Loathing?

63. jfrater - April 2nd, 2008 at 4:09 am

flamiejamie: I don’t know what Kingdom of Loathing is - so it’s a no from me

64. Dawn Bearer - April 2nd, 2008 at 5:19 am

Where do you usually get your ideas and materials man?
For istance, The Incredible Soundrecordings lists are great where do you find these stuff man?

65. Randall - April 2nd, 2008 at 5:26 am

Cyn:

I saw the picture. And… there was a flash of recognition. Tears welling up in the eyes….

Suddenly…. I knew! I knew it was you!

MOTHER!

Why did you leave us, mother? Why did you have to “go find yourself?” Don’t you love us anymore? Can’t we…. *sniff sniff*…BE A FAMILY AGAIN?! *sob*

I won’t… put your picture up on the mantle though. The children would be disturbed. And I’m not sure I could eat anymore.

66. bucslim - April 2nd, 2008 at 5:47 am

Actually as I scanned down the list it looked like “Ask JFrater a question he’ll ignore.” But seriously,

If I take out half my brain and act like a total batter dipped deep fried douchebag moron from Ramula 5 like my boss, will I someday be promoted to his position?

67. bucslim - April 2nd, 2008 at 5:48 am

Sounds like questions a teeny girl would ask her Magic 8 ball. . .

68. Randall - April 2nd, 2008 at 5:53 am

bucslim:

You’re very…. bitter about your work, aren’t you?

Have you considered a career change?

“…someone with your qualifications would have no trouble finding a top-flight job in either the food service or housekeeping industries.”

69. Randall - April 2nd, 2008 at 5:58 am

buc:

“Ask JFrater a question he’ll ignore.” …I like that.

Howabout:

“Do you know what this thing is? …This thing. Right here. Way up on my thigh. What is that?”

“If a train left New Zealand traveling East/Northeast at 115 miles per hour, and a train left Maui traveling West/Southwest at 129 miles per hour… how the hell would they meet, with that big honkin’ ocean in the way?”

“Is it wrong for a man to wear makeup? I mean… is it *really* wrong?”

“Is that the phone? That’s probably for me. Will you see if it’s for me?”

“If you die first, can I have your website?”

70. bucslim - April 2nd, 2008 at 6:12 am

Randall,

I actually love my job. I have a lot of independence. The only problems I ever incur is when “Slappy the Chipmunk” boss sticks his incompetent mug into my cubicle. I then ponder exciting management opportunities at Burger King. I have no idea how he got where he is, but I’m pretty sure he has compromising pictures of his boss hidden somewhere. Ya see, I’m in television production, and my boss is stuck back in the ’50’s way of production, and I’m into new media. Anytime I put together something totally awesome and visually thrilling, I don’t show him. Because he’ll come out with some stupid brain dead commentary about how it should resemble something closer to the Milton Berle comedy hour or the Today show with Fred G. Muggs.

As for your sample questions, I actually sniggered out loud, or scuz me SOL!

71. jfrater - April 2nd, 2008 at 6:19 am

bucslim (#66) - you are very insightful indeed I will be selecting questions I am happy to answer

72. Arabella - April 2nd, 2008 at 6:20 am

Post a pic of yourself please

73. Randall - April 2nd, 2008 at 6:23 am

bucslim:

My sympathies. I haven’t had a bad boss in a few years… but then… well, without giving anything away, I do work in an academic environment where “boss” isn’t so much of a problem. Though I do have quite a character now, for a “superior” as it were. Funny guy, I like him.

But I’ve had hellions in the past. Frankly I think women are the worst.

TV production huh? Local, or network? Hollywood? Can I have my own show? I’m handsome on camera. Work well with children and monkeys.

74. bucslim - April 2nd, 2008 at 6:27 am

Just teasing jfrater.

If I don’t put that stick down, will I put someone’s eye out?

if I keep my eyes crossed, will they stay that way?

If I don’t get out of that tree, will I break my neck?

If I try pot, will I eventually become a homeless bum?

If I don’t eat my vegetables, will children in Africa suffer more?

If I don’t shut up and keep my hands to myself, will my mom turn the car around?

These are some questions I have had since childhood, and they’ve never really been answered for me, can you help?

75. Amanda - April 2nd, 2008 at 6:30 am

I wanna know the title of the first list… mainly because I am too lazy to look through all of the lists. (I’m the kind of person who’s really… REALLY anal about having things in order.)

76. skeev - April 2nd, 2008 at 6:30 am

This is a completley lame idea.

Nah, I’m just kidding.

How do you eat your Reese’s peanut butter cups?

Would you like to join the Church Of Keanu?

77. bucslim - April 2nd, 2008 at 6:30 am

R - I’m at a University doing educational video, distance ed and I produce my own local TV show. Which explains why I can screw around on this website so much.

I also do a lot of freelance.

78. SlickWilly - April 2nd, 2008 at 6:50 am

Randall/bucslim: I…also work well with monkeys. Not so much children though. It’s not that I don’t like them persay, it’s just that their laughter sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me. It just cuts through me like a knife and makes me crazy. I mean *real* crazy. Like Ted Bundy crazy. But I like monkeys.

Slick:

Don’t sit near me. Seriously, don’t.

80. jesse - April 2nd, 2008 at 7:06 am

jfrater, serious question.

am i ever going to come to listverse and see that you arent so friendly to your guests via message boards, are you planning on making big changes with list verse for example you need to be a member to post (you shouldn’t thats one of the coolest things about the site)

81. sam - April 2nd, 2008 at 7:10 am

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

82. don - April 2nd, 2008 at 7:13 am

jfrater you’re the man

83. mowi - April 2nd, 2008 at 7:48 am

how many roads must a man walk down befor you can call him a man?

84. SlickWilly - April 2nd, 2008 at 8:05 am

Randall: No worries there. I often find my self sitting by myself anyway. I assure you the problem *isn’t* with me…it’s with everybody else. It has to be…otherwise the voices would make me cut myself instead of other, er, I mean…hmm.

Anybody seen any small animals around here lately?

85. Ginger Lee - April 2nd, 2008 at 8:06 am

mowi: the answer’s blowin in the wind

86. Amanda - April 2nd, 2008 at 8:31 am

I was serious… does anybody remember the title of the first list or at least the topic? Please don’t make me beg!

87. jfrater - April 2nd, 2008 at 8:42 am

Amanda: it was a rather feeble “10 largest arms exporters“

88. Lewis - April 2nd, 2008 at 9:18 am

Do you do any martial arts?

89. Lewis - April 2nd, 2008 at 9:22 am

What non-classical music do you like?
Fave opera?

90. Amanda - April 2nd, 2008 at 9:33 am

thank you

91. graham - April 2nd, 2008 at 9:34 am

“Is the placenta an under-examined pathological specimen and would better reporting procedures be beneficial?”

My thesis question. Feel free to answer in 10,000 to 15,000 words.

Graham

92. badlist - April 2nd, 2008 at 10:19 am

The question of the year……Which Religion Is Right?

93. Lewis - April 2nd, 2008 at 10:27 am

Graham: Yeah well I have some indice maths Q’s to do and I can’t,

Badlist: The one that dosen’t exist.

94. Cyn - April 2nd, 2008 at 10:30 am

65. Randall

i..i…think i’m gonna be sick. Randall called me ‘mother’.

even in fun..the very idea. makes my womb cringe.

95. Barack Obama - April 2nd, 2008 at 10:31 am

Do people outside of the U.S. know that people inside the U.S. think that President Bush is the worst president in the nation’s history? And as an American–although I did not vote for him–I do apologize to the rest of the world for him.

96. stormy617 - April 2nd, 2008 at 10:38 am

#74 Bucslim;

If mom knocks me into next week will I be the only one there till the rest of the world catches up??

97. stormy617 - April 2nd, 2008 at 10:40 am

#95 Barack O. I second that one (I didn’t vote for him either)

98. chershey - April 2nd, 2008 at 10:50 am

Any man who can’t spell masturbate is…well…sad.

99. Randall - April 2nd, 2008 at 10:54 am

Cyn:

Damn you. I’ll have you know my mother was a FINE woman who raised four smart-ass children, three of whom make a great deal more money than me and look down on me for it (bastards), was a successful businesswoman and a deacon in her church. And she was one-half of a great duo that begat… me.

Your womb should BE so lucky, woman.

100. Randall - April 2nd, 2008 at 10:55 am

Cyn:

Besides… you gotta admit, that was pretty damn funny.

c’mon, give it up… you know it was.

101. jenOP - April 2nd, 2008 at 11:05 am

Where is everyone seeing these great blue eyes? All the pics I can find are either B&W (in “about”) or too far away to tell (web search).
Oh, and congratulations, Jamie, on the successful operatic season of ‘05. Looks like it was great!

102. KRH - April 2nd, 2008 at 11:23 am

What’s your height?
Why do you prefer pop or rock over rap?

103. MethodMan - April 2nd, 2008 at 11:53 am

Oh my goodness! JFrater, I always thought you would have looked like some sort of fat computer nerd, just because you have this sort of site! No offense of course, but in a purely heterosexual way, you are one suave lookin dude!

104. Cyn - April 2nd, 2008 at 12:22 pm

99./.100 Randall

well i’m sure your mother was a fine woman. as for it being funny…..er, apparently we have differing tastes in humor.

105. fulcizombie - April 2nd, 2008 at 12:26 pm

Do you, as a non-American, see a direct correllation between America’s waning power, and the rise of selfish, egotistical, and utterly vapid amounts of Americans wasting their time on comment boards of websites where they can fufill the violent tendencies that the nation has so ingrained in their frail minds?

106. Randall - April 2nd, 2008 at 1:32 pm

Cyn:

“well i’m sure your mother was a fine woman.”

Well….. actually she drank a bit.

Well…. a lot really.

And the gambling… yeah. And….. kinda not really… “loving.” Not real…. affectionate. Or attentive.

But other than that, yeah. fine woman.

“…as for it being funny…..er, apparently we have differing tastes in humor.”

Meaning you have none, right.. I understand.

107. Mac - April 2nd, 2008 at 2:47 pm

Have you ever been to Wanganui in New Zealand?

108. Cyn - April 2nd, 2008 at 3:56 pm

106. Randall

well i appreciate more cerebral humor. or dry wit. neither of which you have.

109. rai - April 2nd, 2008 at 4:43 pm

jfrater:

who is the better artist? dali or picasso?

110. Randall - April 2nd, 2008 at 4:44 pm

Cyn:

Excuse me? Neither of which I have? Cerebral humor? Dry wit? Do you READ my posts, madam? (Apparently not). Or you’re perhaps mistaking me for one of the countless clods that lurk in this website.

Ah well. You’ve tried to wound me. Your arrow went astray, of course. But points for a good try.

But the of course I can assuage what little hurt has been done to my feelings with the knowledge that while you prate about “dry wit” and “cerebral humor,” your taste in humor most likely, in truth, runs to “Family Circle,” “Nancy,” and old reruns of “Alf” on TV Land.

Sad, but after all, the doctors said she wouldn’t even be able to dress herself.

111. Cyn - April 2nd, 2008 at 8:32 pm

110. Randall

read your pontifical novellas? nah. scan ..maybe. ‘countless clods’..actually that % is much lower here than elsewhere and its due to the quality of the lists as much as the quality of the majority of commenters. say what you will about me but bash J, the site or the majority of our community and you’ve overstepped you bounds, sir! so shut the fuck up!

as for comics, TV shows and comedians… xcd comic (online) is a good one nowadays. think the last really original network TV sitcom was Taxi (and yeah, don’t watch much TV anymore). as for comedians ..can always rely on George Carlin for funny and thought provoking humor.

as for your last comment …you’re drunk right? geesh…

112. manashiori - April 2nd, 2008 at 8:37 pm

Humor will always be subjective. This is just gonna be an endless debate, a he said, she said kind of thing.

IMHO, you (Randall) and Cyn are both smart people but…

Can we stick to the topic and ask some fricken question? It’s about JFrater, not about someone else’s taste in T.V. programs, intelligence, wit, their mother’s drinking habit, or anything that deviates away from this post’s purpose (or anything under number 1).

JFrater, do you see yourself playing in Jeopardy anytime soon?

113. Cyn - April 2nd, 2008 at 8:48 pm

112. manashiori

actually if you read the whole entry, you’re supposed to email your questions not use comments. so comments on this entry are ‘fair game’.

“If you want to participate, send your question to questions@listverse.com and when I have enough questions and answers, I will post them here in a top 10 or 20 list.”

114. manashiori - April 2nd, 2008 at 9:43 pm

thanks for that but I already did last night.

115. Wiseguy - April 3rd, 2008 at 12:06 am

Hey J,

I love this site so don’t get me wrong. You’ve no idea how many hours I’ve spent viewing this site, keeping me entertained rather than doing some mind numbing office work. The question is…

What’s your day job?

116. KrazyK - April 3rd, 2008 at 1:38 am

Surprised no one has asked this yet…

jfrater What Would Jesus Do?

117. Randall - April 3rd, 2008 at 6:38 am

Cyn:

I was joking, Cyn. (And yes, as it happens, I DID have a few drinks last night… it’s my birthday and friends and colleagues took me out for dinner). Anyway, okay, so you’re one of the people on this site who don’t like me and think my posts are too long. Oh well. I thought we were just bantering a bit, sorry if I pissed you off yet again.

As for bashing Jamie, you should know damn well by now that I would never do such a thing. I would hope he knows that too.

If you and he tire of my contributions here, however, by all means tell me and I’ll cease my participation on this site. Okay?

118. jfrater - April 3rd, 2008 at 6:51 am

Hey - I haven’t noticed any bashing - and I have the red button if anyone does bash me anyway

119. EnglishRose - April 3rd, 2008 at 7:18 am

Loving the sexual tension between Cyn and Randall!

120. srichards - April 3rd, 2008 at 10:01 am

i checked you out on wikipedia very cute!!!! nice eyes too

121. ReporterChick - April 3rd, 2008 at 10:30 am

I read listverse every day…it’s a good way to pass the time at my job. I just now registered, something I’ve been meaning to do, but haven’t got around to it. I just wanted to say that I love this site and it keeps me sane during the day! Thanks jfrater.

122. Cyn - April 3rd, 2008 at 11:17 am

119. EnglishRose

ROFLMAO! not

117. Randall

a major reason i keep as low a profile as possible…i can be a bit of a bitch. or at least seen that way. eh..whatevah. people who really know me…know me.(i’ll bypass all the bullshit about why intelligent, opinionated women are still considered ‘bitches’ in this culture) that said…i would never speak for J or in the name of the site in ref: to someone continuing to frequent this site. so if you have any issues regarding that…i would recommend you take that up w/ J. also ..the forums is a much better place to get more info. on anyone registered there..which includes me. and it is also a better place to engage in off topic ‘conversation’.
given my tendency to curse like a sailor and write in less than perfect English…i think i will refrain from future commenting. i think no matter how often i make disclaimers about speaking only for myself…i will still be seen as being representative of this site. which i am not. i just do a little bit behind the scenes because J so graciously allows me to do so. i think whatever my opinions are regarding commenters or lists or whatever…pales into insignificance in comparision to my love of this site and my hopes that it continues to be successful. and no that ain’t just horseshit. its true. to go all geeky on ya….the needs of the many…etc etc

123. SlickWilly - April 3rd, 2008 at 11:23 am

Cyn: Being an intelligent, opinionated woman is not analogous to being a “bitch.” It’s just that some intelligent, opinionated women are jerks. I know quite a few intelligent, opinionated women that are most certainly not bitches. They are nice to people, not condescending, don’t act like they have something to prove, and don’t carry themselves with a holier-than-thou attitude. You can be intelligent and opinionated. Just don’t be a bitch about it. Otherwise you’ll get called on it. (The “royal” you, not you specifically.)

124. Randall - April 3rd, 2008 at 11:50 am

Cyn:

“…people who really know me…know me.”

You know, I would have thought, Cyn, that offering such a dispensation for *yourself,* that you would have considered for a moment that it might apply to *me* as well. People who know me… know me. I’m not viewed as a blowhard bigmouth know-it-all by my friends, as it happens. I admit this is sometimes how I come off here, on a web site. But it isn’t me.

But c’est la vie. Sometimes in excusing ourselves, we fail to excuse others. Odd, that, isn’t it?

In addition–I was looking for no “information” on anyone registered here–you or anyone else. So I don’t know what that was about.

I do NOT generally see you as a representative of this site–unless you yourself bring it up. Your statement,

“…say what you will about me but bash J, the site or the majority of our community and you’ve overstepped you bounds, sir! so shut the fuck up!”

–is what made me view that particular post as at least a quasi-official remark. I didn’t take it seriously, of course, but I thought it warranted some kind of response. In any case, I have no problem whatsoever with you posting on the site, and certainly don’t wish to be a reason that keeps you from doing so.

Really the only thing that irked me in the slightest (and that only very little) was having my humor insulted. I’d frankly dare you to find more sardonic, witty, and cerebral humor. But I acknowledge that this is my ego talking.

125. DK - April 3rd, 2008 at 12:14 pm

My only question is if Cyn & Randall can kiss & make up yet? please?

126. Csimmons - April 3rd, 2008 at 1:34 pm

DK: Honestly, I hope so, then again maybe not, I love watching a good argument.

127. Kreachure - April 3rd, 2008 at 4:55 pm

OK, here’s my question: You’re awesome, jfrater!

Dammit, I screwed that up.

128. Nick - April 3rd, 2008 at 5:57 pm

Was that list about genetically modified things an april fool?

129. Csimmons - April 3rd, 2008 at 7:08 pm

Nick: Yes, I knew personally at the rubber cork tree, although I wanted a dolion to be real, cus’ then a dolion and a liger and maybe a lemurat could be in a balls-to-the-wall-steel-barbwire-cage-death match, I’d pay like a billion ddollars to see that shit.

130. Jo Seephus - April 4th, 2008 at 11:10 am

Are you into threesomes with me, you, and a random named Saaly Jo Mae?

131. BrotherMan - April 4th, 2008 at 11:41 am

I was wondering, jfrater, out of all of the lists that have been published by you (not your contributors ) which ones are your least favorite?

Which ones, if any, do you regret writing?

Are all lists from the very first posted list to the current list still available for viewing? If not, why?

Great site, Jamie! I visit here every day and spend a lot of time in the forums. My personal thanks to you.

132. BrotherMan - April 4th, 2008 at 11:53 am

and for the record I am emailing jfrater these questions of mine.

133. skeev - April 4th, 2008 at 1:15 pm

I personally take offense to being lumped with the “countless clods”.

I may be somewhat new here but damn it I am my own unique clod.

134. flgh - April 5th, 2008 at 2:30 am

My question:

Would a list of ‘Ten Cutest Puppies Born In Asia’ here degrade into a debate revolving around Christianity/creationism/GWB?

135. Crimanon - April 5th, 2008 at 3:13 am

flgh: I hope this answers your question.

A boy was selling puppies in front of his house, when he sees Bob Dole walking by. “Excuse me, sir, would you like to buy a puppy?” he asked.
Dole replied, “Bob Dole doesn’t need no dog.”
The boy quickly added, “Sir, they’re republican puppies.”
“Hmmm,” replied Dole. “Tell you what, Bob Dole has to give a speech at the city hall in fifteen minutes. Maybe some other time.”
Two days late, Dole headed happened to pass by the boy, still selling puppies. But now, he was trying to sell one to Bill Clinton. “Would you like a puppy?” the boy asked. “They’re Democrats.”
“Now wait just a minute,” Dole said. “Just 2 days ago, you told Bob Dole they were republicans.”
“Well,” the boy answered, “now they have their eyes open.”

136. SarahAtTheDisco - April 5th, 2008 at 12:36 pm

Oh Oh
What is your favorite color?
Mine is red :]

137. NZSpringy - April 7th, 2008 at 3:16 am

A 53 year old here and one day I hope to run into him with the blue blue eyes on the shores of New Zealand - shame you’re on the south island Jamie and I’m on the North. Fancy going from one winter to another - rather you than me.

138. jfrater - April 7th, 2008 at 3:22 am

NZSpringy: I am from Wellington - not the South Island It is to Wellington that I return! And I don’t mind the winter thing - at least it will be a less harsh one than what I get in London!

139. Qlovelee - April 8th, 2008 at 9:52 am

Which religon do you believe is the closest to being right?

140. NZSpringy - April 8th, 2008 at 11:54 pm

Sorry for some reason I thought you were heading to Christchurch, no idea where that came from or why. Safe travelling Jamie.

141. mikejk - April 14th, 2008 at 2:41 pm

RANDALL continues to be the worst, insufferable ASSHOLE who just won’t go away from this site.

142. Cedestra - April 18th, 2008 at 2:39 pm

Wow, are you sure? I’m contributing a list of Top 100 Reasons Why I Love Randall.
I mean, basically just don’t cross him. He’s a bear, man. Maybe even a man-bear-pig, whatever, just don’t cross him. I would hate to get into a car accident with him, even if it was 100% his fault (which would never happen because Randall is infallable, like the Pope).

143. Crimanon - April 18th, 2008 at 3:43 pm

Cedestra: As mush as I enjoy Arguing with Randall, I would never call him infallible. Don’t stroke the Ego! If I had a dollar for every time he “Knew” that he was right. I’d Own Jamie, I’d keep him locked up all day feeding him Cookies.

145. toolnut - April 18th, 2008 at 4:04 pm

Nice Crimanon, if only it were real. I would be making hella bank here in NV making bets(where betting is legal). I can see it all now. . . .

146. Crimanon - April 18th, 2008 at 4:44 pm

Toolnut: We only recently got the Lotto in NC, I attempted to to correct my Father on gambling still being illegal, I failed. I haven’t played a good hand of hold’em in a while too. I should throw a party.

147. Crimanon - April 18th, 2008 at 4:50 pm

So jamie when are you giving us the Juicy details? Huh. Your Fans are waiting… Maybe there’s too much hype. Maybe I’ll just wait until I can rent it.

PLEEEAAAAASSSEEE!!!! Great… I’m turning into a List-head. Does anyone have the number for Listoholics Anonymous?

148. toolnut - April 18th, 2008 at 4:56 pm

try the forums crimanon, there may be help there, or it may just encourage your addiction

149. Crimanon - April 18th, 2008 at 5:14 pm

The forums are nothing more than a way deeper imbed the Listverse addiction. I don’t need to be a forum junkie too. I think I’m pretty well hooked, and that is just WAY too much reading to keep up with. I’ve got to look a job Sometime.

150. Csimmons - April 18th, 2008 at 5:35 pm

Crimanon: It’s not an addiction, just a really bad habit, and trust me, toolnut is ALWAYS with angelina on the predict thread, I can’t get a word in edgewise!

151. Crimanon - April 18th, 2008 at 5:41 pm

Csim: Is that denial I here in your voice. I smoke, Is it a Habit? No I’m addicted. I at least admit it. I’m a fiend (for listverse). I can quit smoking at any time, see how that works.

152. Cedestra - April 18th, 2008 at 5:42 pm

Ah, it was mostly facetious. I know people like Randall offline- and while they frustrate me sometimes with their know-it-all and killing-the-fly-with-a-sledgehammer attitude, they *do* put people like 666 in their place. To me, that evens it out and then some, so I’m cool with Randall.

153. Crimanon - April 18th, 2008 at 5:42 pm

*hear in your voice. If I’m going to be typeing like this I might as well hit the bottle.

154. Crimanon - April 18th, 2008 at 5:45 pm

Bad Habits= Nun porn???

Cedestra: They often lead to great nights at bars (Egos, that is).

155. Csimmons - April 18th, 2008 at 5:47 pm

Crimanon: O.K. I’m obsessed

156. Cedestra - April 18th, 2008 at 5:48 pm

Reminds me of that time I was in Nunsense III…

157. Cedestra - April 18th, 2008 at 5:48 pm

BTW, you can only post here if your name begins with C. My rule na na na na na.

158. Crimanon - April 18th, 2008 at 5:51 pm

Treason!!!

159. toolnut - April 18th, 2008 at 6:24 pm

How dare you, How dare all of you. . . you C names. I will post if i please. ha!!

160. Crimanon - April 18th, 2008 at 6:30 pm

Toolnut: I’m on your side. How would Jamie feel to know that his minions were rioting against him. Quell the uprising! Long Live JAYNU!

161. jfrater - April 18th, 2008 at 8:37 pm

Okay - I will try to get the answers to this list done ASAP Before I am sold in to slavery by you all!

162. Crimanon - April 18th, 2008 at 10:17 pm

Ask and you shall receive!

As for the “Pocket Jamie”, I’m not sure what Pocket sized would be. It’s safe to assume, with our current tech abilities, that Pocket Jamies would be in some small vial. Creepy.

ALL HAIL JAYNU!!!

163. Cedestra - April 19th, 2008 at 9:59 am

…or even smaller, like sea monkeys. Little Sea Jamies.

164. Bass - April 20th, 2008 at 8:14 am

Do you have an accent?

That question has been haunting me for quite some time now.

165. jfrater - April 20th, 2008 at 8:19 am

Bass: I don’t have an accent - I sound like all the other New Zealander’s. I bet you have an accent though

166. Dawn Bearer - April 20th, 2008 at 9:06 am

How do you usually get ideas for lists? and where do you usally search for and determine good material?

Like the incredible sound recordings and lists like that.

167. Tommy - April 21st, 2008 at 2:34 am

Can you do a top 10 bizarre Jehovah’s Witnesses belief?

168. Bass - April 23rd, 2008 at 2:30 pm

Jfrater: I have no accent what-so-ever. I try sometimes, but it just comes out as Austim Powers falling into a woodchipper.

…if you know what I mean.

169. Bass - April 23rd, 2008 at 2:30 pm

171. Unnamed player - May 3rd, 2008 at 10:17 pm

what about a top ten comments list, like the top ten weird comments you have received from a user. maybe the scariest proposition, (i’m looking at you Kathryn), or best ‘what the?’ comment.

172. Crimanon - May 6th, 2008 at 1:46 am

When is the next list??? More Questions Answered. Today Only on Listverse!

173. jfrater - May 6th, 2008 at 1:53 am

Crimanon: Some day soon

174. Crimanon - May 6th, 2008 at 10:43 am

But I want to worship you Now!!!!!

175. Carcassone III - June 5th, 2008 at 12:03 pm

I have two questions
Question nr.1 - Se aos homens do mar se chama marujos porque não se chamam os homens do ar araújos?
Question nr.2 - In what language is written question nr.1?
