There are 10 types of people in the world; those who understand binary and those who don't.

Desert island disk list how long can it be? I have a lot of favorites.
Does any one mind if I put Brotherhood of the Wolf on the tube? Apologies to Seryn and Citizen if he's still around. In some parts of the US a tv is called the tube because it has a cathode ray tube. Yes I know in London it's the subway.

Yes! That was it! And I started laughing and my friends all thought I'd gone nuts.

Me, too! I have many pairs I keep in the utensil drawer (which I think secretly drives my grandparents crazy) and I use them more often than silverware.
I also cook with chopsticks. I use them to stir stuff in a skillet or for pasta or to fluff rice when it's steaming.
Okay, now I'm hungry.

Why would you even open the pot? It let's the heat escape and takes longer.

I've turned off the binary portion of my brain. I can turn it back on if I must, but it just seems to make me an even bigger geek.
Chopsticks: love 'em. Have many. I don't use them at home as often as I do at restaurants, but that's mainly becuase I don't cook as much as I once did. I could go for some rice right now...
I've not followed this thread family...have we found our nice guys and gals yet? Are they still hiding?

Of Course I couldn't survive without My Marillion collection. If I had to pick though. "Brave", "Marbles", "Script for a Jester's Tear".
Ah, that's cool. I think PHM is my least favorite full length by NIN...of course, it being NIN, I still think it's fantastic. I own all of the halos (except for 12 :F)
On chopsticks, I have no idea how to use them, but I really don't eat anything that would require them. Lucky me ;D

I have to admit it was a close run between The Downward Spiral and The Fragile. The latter won out cause it had 'la mer' and 'we're in this together' on it.
I also have to admit that I tend to neglect the others, I made an effort to listen to PHM and Broken (think it was broken, will have to check) and then With Teeth came out (he released it on my birthday - what a nice man!)
edit: I decided to waffle a little more - I think I like albums like PHM and the new one because they are much clearer, compact focused and immediate - they're his most instantly engaging - you get the tune quickly, you can dance to them, they are 'songs' in the normal sense, where as TF is more of a 'soundscape' my favorite way of listening to them is in a darkened room cause I just don't want any distractions - which is why it got on my list - where else are there less distractions than on a desert island? 
Waffle over!
basically, bad girl! *slaps wrist* 'will have to try harder in future'

"With Teeth"? That's the newest one eh? I remember it coming out, but I then heard nothing from it, or about it. How does it compare? I might have to give it a try.

Definately run out and pick up Marillion's "Brave". The Remastered if you can find it, cause the second disc has the "alternate ending". In the lyrics sheet, they actually print "Play it Loud, With the lights off." It is a journey. Brave is a concept album (the whole thing is one story). It's the story of a girl found wondering on the Severn Bridge who refused or was unable to speak. Planning to jump apparently, and the reasons why. The detail and layers of sounds always get me. From the fog horns to the water splashing against the rocks.

Ah, turn it back on, twg :P I'm a big fan of geek grrls.
Hey, I've found plenty of nice gals here...the problem is, of course, finding the one nice gal I'm looking for. As for me, as the thread title suggest I'm hiding nicely in plain view...so yes, i'm hiding, but in an intentionally bad fashion ;)
