Q41: If everyone in OTF were to fight in "The Ultimate Showdown of OTF Destiny", who would win? Uh, I don't know. It'd be very close.
Q42: What are your nicknames at OTF (aside from your handle)? Some people use my real name, but that's about it. I haven't been blessed with a nickname. Someone should come up with one!
Q43: Did you really think that there wouldn't be a question about Naberrie / eirrebaN? No comment.
Q44: Naberrie: a moderating influence on Iain, or an inspiration to and encourager for him? I have no idea.
Q45: Who's your "favorite goober"? (We know, we know - Amanda said we had to add this one.) I don't know what that exactly means. :( I guess a big peanut, covered in lots of chocolate.
