The Initiating Response #15

Q: What is your position on hunting? 
A: I do not approve of hunting at all. 
Explanation: “I only approve if there are no other viable means of sustenance available. ”

Like in that movie, The Edge, with Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin. They were lost in the wild and there was a crazy, man-eating bear on the loose trying to kill them! The black guy died, of course. He was the pilot of the helicopter or something. I think he was on Oz... Anyway, Anthony Hopkins killed the bear and Alec Baldwin died in the snow or something. It was a good movie. :D

The Initiating Response #14

Starting this up again because... what the hell.

On OkCupid, they have a feed where you can observe all the latest activity from people around your area; photos they uploaded, addendums to profiles and match questions they answered. The questions are used to match people up with one another on the site, but what's great is that you can explain and justify your chosen multiple choice answer. This was one girl's admittedly awesome explanation:

Q: Can a person be too cheerful? 
A: Yes 
Explanation: “Anyone seen Parks and Rec?”

Now, what's great is you can use these feed stories as conversation starters and email them about their activity. I happen to love Parks and Recreation, and I immediately thought of clever response to her question that only an avid watcher of the show would get.

Knope. I have not.

She didn't respond back.
