About how manys sigs have you made?

Good question. I’ve been doing this for a little over two years now. I have all my work saved in one folder. In that folder there are over 1,100 .jpg files. Sometimes I save a file with a couple of versions, so I’d say roughly 800 sigs.

On average how long does it take you to make a sig?

About 30-45 minutes.

1) How much will the drop in the price of gas put back in your pocket each month, if it goes down to the assumed $2.20 a gallon by Thanksgiving?

Uhh. Maybe $10 a week

2) 10 words to describe Rosie O'Donnell

Fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat. (Yeah, my creativity was horrible on this…)

3) If you were a beverage... what beverage would you be, who would be most likely to buy you, and what would be your beverage demise (how would you be emptied)??

Hmm. I have no clue. Maybe monster energy drink.

1. Corny question being, what's your favorite element from the Captain Planet cartoon?

Have to go with fire. (WIND! WATER! FIRE! EARTH!)

2. Who's the bigger mistake, Adrian Beltre or Richard Sexson? And did it bother you any at all to see Jamie Moyer move on?

Beltre hands down, and no.

3. Who do you wish stayed a Mariner (and retired a Mariner) the most: Randy Johnson, Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr. (let's pretend he never suffered a bazillion leg injuries), Freddy Garcia, or Omar Vizquel?

Griffey all the way. He would have been great as a M w/o the injuries.

1. how did you come up with your account name Element

I like chemistry and thought it sounded cool.

2. what is your thoughts on who should be the president if you had anyone to choose except yourself.

I think BJ Shea would make a decent president. (Local radio host)

3. If you were president what would be the first 3 things you would change for this country

Approve gay marriage (no, I’m not gay, I just think it is stupid people are against it because ‘it says so in the bible’)

Approve stem cell research

Get border problems fixed.

Oh, and keep abortion legal.

A. Who, in your opinion, are the Top 10 baseball players of all-time

Hard one (not in order)

-Ruth
-Aaron
-Foxx
-Williams
-Mays
-Wagner
-Mantle
-Iron Horse
-Musial
-DiMaggio

B. If you had a choice, and you could take Albert Pujols (present day) or Lou Gehrig (1929) and have them on contract for the next ten years, who do you take? Assume you only know what you know about them now as people, players, publicity tools, etc. and you do not know of "future" events (such as Gehrig's illness). Likewise, you get Gehrig as a 2006 player with the 1929 ability (meaning he could play in the majors as he played in 1929).

Pujols. I don’t know if Gehrig could be such a great player with today’s competition. I think the game has improved too much.

C. If you had 24 hours left on Earth, what would you do?

Probably stuff not appropriate for forum conversation!

1. Who is the best middle reliever (not closer) of all time and why, and if he belongs in the Hall.

Uhh. If they were good enough they would be closers. First one that comes to mind is Jeff Nelson(I know there has to be a career middle reliever that is better, just can’t think of one), and no.

2. Disprove this philosophical argument:

If beer is better than nothing
And nothing is better than God
Than beer is better than God.

God doesn’t exist, so there. (Sorry, impossible to disprove)

3. Being a Yankees season ticket holder, I have access to 6 playoff tickets, with a max of 2 tickets per series.

Since I'm going with my father, what games should I pick in the ALDS, ALCS, and WS?

You think the Yankees will make the world series?

Realmofotalk

1. Would the Seattle SuperSonics stand a chance against the WNBA's Seattle Storm?

Such a hard question, because I hate both teams equally, but the Sonics would “rape” them.

2. Which was the most ridiculous sig request you have received (besides the Super Bowl XL-bound Jets one)?

Haha, I remember that one.
I’d have to say this one where there was a new guy that joined the forum, and he wasn’t a fan of any team, so the next four guys that posted said their favorite team, and they made me make a sig with all four teams on it.

3. Which two teams in baseball do you dislike the most?

Yankees and Yankees.

Porter99

What will be Deion Branch's role in the Seahawks offense?

His role will be to put the Hawks over the top (Can you say superbowl?)

Where do you see the Mariners board going when it gets back to full strength?

Hopefully good places. (Maybe the M’s winning might help)

What are your influnces when it comes to music when you were young and also in the present?

Kanye West. Gold digger especially. (Watch out for them guys)

ATLien

Favorite Kanye CD: CD or LR?

Can’t go wrong with LR. Heard ‘Em Say, Gold Digger, Touch the Sky. All good.

General

1.) Favorite Braves player, all-time?

Have to go w/ Smoltz hands down. (Rocker = worst)

2.) Would you rather be exiled to Australia or South Africa?

Funny you ask, since I’ve been to both countries. Australia obviously. Great place to live. In fact, if I didn’t live in America, I don’t see any better place to live than Australia.

3.) You gonna make my wallpaper, pretty please?

Maybe if I get some free time.

Lynch

1) If you could watch only one more movie before you die, what would it be (and why that one over some of your other favorites)

Lord of the Rings because it is one of the longest movies I know of.

2) Last meal on earth. For whatever reason, you will be dead tomorrow and you know it tonight. You can have anything your heart desires for a last meal.... what would it be?

A bit of everything. I’d like a buffet style kind of thing with the best of the best food there.

3) You are only allowed to attend one more sporting event before you die. It could be any event, anywhere on the earth with the best seats in the house. What would you like to go see (you can even make up something as long as it's not involving dead/retired people... such as The Globetrotters vs the Sonics, which obviously would never happen)

Game 7 of the world series at Safeco, or the Super Bowl with the Hawks in it. (and winning, of course)

Mission

1.) Ultimate day of laziness, what is it? I am talking about the flicks/shows/games you would watch or play, snacks, time you would sleep, whatever that would lead to pure comfort in a world in which you didn't have to worry about one outside thing for the whole day.

Not that big of a movie guy, but Clerks, Harold and Kumar stuff like that.
For shows, old school That 70s show, Seinfeld
Games, have to go for the N64 classics like golden eye and Mario kart. Then madden, and whatever the newest mlb game is.
Snacks, pizza, subs, chips, nachos, all that stuff.
No time to sleep on a day like that.

2.) The quiet hero or the one making a book-deal after you saved the day, which one are you?

Depends on the situation, but I believe I would tend to be the quiet hero.

3.) Three years from now: What three things you would like to remain the same about you and three things you would like to have changed about you in terms of personality/habits/etc?

Same – Passion for graphics, passion for sports, how much I enjoy my life
Different – I’d like to manage my time better, increase work ethic, try to cut back on procrastination.

1- hey Element, I just won $1,000 at the casino and I want to give $500 to you. What do you plan on doing with this money?
Hmmm. Get a cd player for my car (yes, my preowned car is pretty ghetto), and go to the M’s and Hawks team stores. I would spend the rest on gas.


2- if there is a God and if there is a Satan, and if God is The Almighty and has all sorts of powers, then why doesn't God just get rid of Satan? Isn't God's desire for every person to have as good of an afterlife as possible?

There is a god?

3- what's your stance on people talking on a cellular phone while driving a car, especially on the highway or in densely populated streets in downtown and such.

I’m against it when it is people who are easily distracted, or are always on the phone in the car (i.e. woman). When it is once in a while, and just a short call, I don’t mind.

to each there own I guess lol the only one of those 4 even i agree with is the border problems lol

God doesn’t exist, so there. (Sorry, impossible to disprove)

also impossible to prove

2. Disprove this philosophical argument:

If beer is better than nothing
And nothing is better than God
Than beer is better than God.

God doesn’t exist, so there. (Sorry, impossible to disprove)

Actually, it is. The interpretation of the word "Nothing" is equivocal. If one narrows the argument to remove colloquial tendencies, Beer is "better than anything" &"nothing is better than God" do not relate a la motus ponens, the valid argument form, as the appeared to earlier.

So what.
