The Ask Nippett and PaintedSkies thread

Call this the get to know your Mods thread. We might answer your question with a serious answer and then again we might not.
 
One question we won't answer is who are we really? At least not yet.
I can tell you this, some of you will figure out who I am by the end of 2012 for a specific reason but I won't go into that ... yet.
 
So fire away

Are you either 1. Gravy, 2. KirksNoseHair, or 3. DefyingMortality?
Ha, just kidding.
 
But on a serious note; when,  in your opinion, if ever, will we be allowed to openly discuss DT in other threads?  

Cilantro: tastes good or tastes bad?

Cilantro: tastes good or tastes bad?

Depends how you use it and/or mix it in/with. By itself? No.

If Weymolith was just called Wey... I guess Nippett could be shortened to Nipp, but how can we shorten your name painted?
 
Other very important questions:
 
* Someone is holding a gun to your head and asks you to pick one of the following two side dishes for a meal: Mashed potatoes or macaroni and cheese?
* Which do you like better: metal or rock?
* Favorite Album? (or current favorite if you can't pick an all-time favorite)
* Favorite superhero?
* If you could have any fictional power, what would it be?
 
As you can see, I need to make sure you guys are really worthy of your titles, these questions should allow me to decide.

Just call him Paint.  Or PS.  :)
 
What are your favorite books?  I'm reading The Count of Monte Cristo right now and that has me curious about literature.

Mash
Metal of course
The Joker from Dark Knight, ok so he wasn't a Superhero but the way he manipulated things was genius.
Fictional power - to get inside someones mind and make them do what I wanted

I think I'd go with broken legs actually. But hopefully neither of the above ever has to happen.

Your 3 favorite albums of all time?

Thanks Emtee
 
I don't know that I can pick 3 of all time but in no particular order
1. DT - Awake/I&W/FII/SFAM/SDOIT ... ok so pretty much everything, the new album, it has it's spots but it's the weakest of the catalog to date in my opinion.
2. Transatlantic - All of them
3. Neal Morse - All of his
4. Spock's Beard - Snow
5. Metallica - Anything from the Black album and before and DM except the production sucks, including the recent DM EP minus the production again
6. Shadow Gallery - Room V
7. Redemption - Everything with Ray on vocals
 
Ok so yeah, I can't pick

At some point you'll find out

Nippett, would your last name be "Inthebud"?
 
Sorry.
 
What country do you live in?
Cold climate or warm?
Do you have a good concert venue in reasonable driving distance?

What nefarious scheme are you plotting right now?

 I cannot give out that info at this time or Jack Bauer will kill me.

If we should ever need to, say have a thread title edited or whatever...are you two

Yes I have been a Mod/Admin of a internet forum before.
 
I've met Mike before being a Mod but not as of yet since becoming a Mod. But I definitely look forward to meeting MP again in 2012!

Neither of us require sleep... Ever.

Did you require sleep before becoming moderator, or is that one of the powers bestowed upon you when you accepted the position?
