5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?

6) what's your personal quote of the day?
1) It's a reference to Thud!. Explaining it exactly would be a spoiler so I'll just say that it has to with Sam Vimes and a certain malevolent peice of wall art.

2) Extremely male. Um. In a very def'nite way. Unmistakeably.

3) 20, New york

4) It depends. I'm sure Terry could write a great movie in a discworld setting, but I think it would be very difficult to adapt an existing book to the screen.

5) My friend's mother's best friend gave me a copy of the Color of Magic and it's all history from there.



6)
Me: it hurts most when I do the opposing motion.
Brother: so when you stretch the muscle?
Me: I rolled out of bed this morning and almost blew an o-ring trying to open the bathroom door
Brother: yep, that sounds like soreness to me.

You had to be there.

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
Well, its a half remembered name from a book I can't find, so I added bits til I was happy, and ended up with Az (easier to type...)
2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)
Physically female, but slap bang in the middle mentally... (work that one out, I can't!)
3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?
18, til November the 15th, Exeter, south end of the M5
4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck? (note, this in no way shape or form asks about casting choices you'd like to see. i have a loaded rifle and i'm not afraid to use it.)
It would be possible, with the right people, but very tricky... some would love it, others loathe it, but thats life
5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?
Hmmm, my mum recommended them from a friend who had read them... I started with the Colour of Magic, and look where it got me!
6) what's your personal quote of the day?
"And I'm supposed to help you out of the evilness of my heart?" Spike, from Buffy the vampire slayer.

How do you get quotes to appear in your siggy?

Cheers, Az

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
1) I represent the stereotypical 14-year-old boy* reader of Discworld...except I’m 24**.

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)
2) *See 1)

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?
3) **See 1). Reside in America.

4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck? (note, this in no way shape or form asks about casting choices you'd like to see. i have a loaded rifle and i'm not afraid to use it.)
4) Yes. But it would be a good idea to have never read the book first, as so you wont be disappointed.

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?
5) To be honest, it was because the cover was shinny.

6) what's your personal quote of the day?
6) “We ordered rectal thermometers, we receive spark plugs! Both highly useful items, but hardly interchangeable.” -Col. Potter M*A*S*H
