10: You found it hard to type the answers to the questionaire while wearing your eyepatch.

9: You missed the email reply to your application because of all the Obama 2008 mails in your inbox.

8: Your astrologer told you ... well, anything at all, really.

7: You're glad we sent you an email app and not a paper one because it reduces our "carbon footprint".

6: Your AIM handle is: PlatoCaveboy877.

5: You quote Spock from Star Trek in your app in order to answer a question.

4: You read a book by Immanuel Kant and didn't burn it afterwards and cleanse your eyes with bleach.

3: You've been playing EVE since beta and have spent most of that time hanging out in public channel "Taggart"... but you're not actually IN Taggart.

2: You don't have much time to play EVE because your modern art gallery show is next week and you're all out of random objects to pile together and the monkey who paints your canvases has the flu.

1: Your intro post on these forums has more than one page of responses to it. :)

Just thought I'd post this as a public service... for the good of the people. :twisted:

Gosh, #3 wouldn't happen to actually refer to anyone, would it? :wink:

I'm sure that it was an indivisible reference. It's likely not to be the first or the last.

I take great offense to this! My monkey got his flu shot!

Everyone does, that's why it's become something of a joke. :)

I put it in mine... although it wasn't my 1st choice if that amounts to anything. The novels of Chris Bunch are awesome.

lol, thanks :) I have my own top ten entry

I really do intend to get around to rejoining Taggart,
of course, my eve time is rather limited.

I'm a father now, and work a lot, so eve time is at a premium.
You may see me 'online' a lot, but I'm really mostly afk.
(so don't think I'm angry or something if you get no response from me)

Anyway, it seems the reborn Taggart under Petyr is really starting to get some critical mass :P

12. You are a terrible speller and you don't bother spell checking your app before you submit it. Pretty much every word processor and I think every browser has a built in spell checker now. There is really no excuse.

Great. I guess I shouldn't have put Karl Marx, Ben Bernanke, and Gene Roddenbury as my heroes.

And my typewriter didn't come with a spell checker...

I'm kidding, of course. The application process was a pleasnt and fun experience and I look forward to working with all of you if I am accepted.

But your typewriter has an internet connection which is odd... :?

I love it...LOL

May I add:

You think Al Gore deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for merely having a suggestion.

You feel guilty being rich, or not poor.

But arn't these the type of people you are looking for? Someone who can make a load of cash off of a bunch of junk with very little effort. It's like selling bottled water. These people are business geniuses.

LOL

Star Trek - The Wrath of Khan

Spock is in the radiation chamber dying and he says "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.. or one"

Then dies. Yay!

I only know this well because I have a fantastic memory for movies and that movie was actually well made.

Gene Rodenbery = Utopian Dreamer? or Socialist?
