It's the end of the year... So, what's the best thing that happened to you this year?

Getting a solid teaching job at a private university, maybe. Or having a student get into a good college.

Welcome to the Feud! Top 7 answers on the board. We asked 100 monkeys what the best way to open to open a banana is.

From the top.

What video game are you the best at?

Hmm. I suppose ones that I wrote myself are out of the question, right? In that case, I'm not really at a tournament skill level for any game that's played competitively. I used to be better at Worms, and I'm good at trivia games. But "You Don't Know Jack" is just generally easy, so...
I also don't think adventure or static puzzle games count here, since you can't really be 'good at' any given one. You win and then you know how to win.
I did manage to win all the challenges in Batman: Arkham Asylum though, and that wasn't trivial! I guess we'll say that? But I'm not good at it anymore!

What did you wish for when you sat on Santa's lap?

I never sat on Santa's lap, but if I had, probably something electronic and/or adventure gamey.

What do you like to hear in music?

Well-written lyrics, counterpoint, vocal or rhythmic talent, the unexpected, human warmth, pigeons.

Merry Christmas, Ferdie! What's the best Christmas present you've ever gotten?

Once, a friend who knew I liked fungi got some coffee filters a month or two in advance and grew a giant mold garden in a can.
It's not the best present I've ever gotten, but it's certainly the most memorable.
An anonymous-but-fairly obvious love confession on the whiteboard in front of my dorm is also pretty high up there.

This answer is far more disconnected and jumbled; good luck deciphering it.

You've said before that it's your opinion that humour shouldn't punch down. How does CAH fit into it? Is it an exception or does it not break the rule? If so, how/why doesn't it?

CAH is least funny when it's punching down, which is why the AAO deck generally steers clear of those cards. Some of its humor comes from breaking taboo - jokes that are a bit raunchy or dark, but don't have any specific victim. On the other hand, the racial jokes definitely push the envelope there, and they're not something I'd include if I were making it from scratch.

okay. Write lyrics then. That's what I meant, anyway. :T

They made a way
For us to toy, to play
With pieces of each other they fear to see.
So I lay my heart down on the pavement, bare my soul,
Wrestle with a dream and try to keep control.
"All in. All in." Is this the wager to change me for good?
Ace's tourney,
Joker's journey,
Waving a graven sign
That's only mine -
By my design.
It's my design.
What was in my chest,
An image manifest,
A destiny unfolding
To fight or die!
So I lay my heart down on the pavement, bare my soul,
Wrestle with a dream and try to keep control.
Ace's tourney,
Joker's journey,
Waving a graven sign
That's only mine
By my design.
The life I had is null and void, they'll never understand,
I may be getting paranoid, afraid to show my hand.
Ace's tourney,
Joker's journey,
Ace's tourney,
Joker's journey.

Write a theme song for one of the AAO RP's you're in and one each for the EN's and LRMMB's.

Write songs? I could do LYRICS, maybe, but not whole songs!

To what extent should somebody "deal with it"?

That depends. Dealing alone isn't mandatory. Dealing with friends is probably advisable.

Why are mushrooms or fungi in general so interesting to you?

Since I already answered this (see: "What's so great about mushrooms"), I'm instead going to post the Fungomon theme song.
I wanna be the very best
And capture every shroom --
There are some I can't digest,
But others I'll consume!
I will travel across the land
Searching under trees,
Each Fungomon to understand
With convoluted keys!
FUNGOMON! (Gotta catch 'em all!)
It's you and me --
I know it's mycology!
FUNGOMON!
Oh, we'll end the day
With a buttery sauté!
FUNGOMON! (Gotta catch 'em all!)
Look, those stain blue!
I don't really have a clue,
But you teach me and I'll teach you!
FUNGOMON!
Gotta catch 'em all!

I have a burning question. One that I've been pondering... Thinking... Wondering about for many many days. The number 8.234. Is it numberwang?

No.
75.

What is your name? What is your quest? What is the terminal velocity of an unladen swallow?

Ferdie. Ferdie. And Ferdie.
