The 9 Odd Questions I like to ask people when I meet them

I'm an advocate of asking people atypical questions when you first meet. Rather than, "How are you?" "Isn't this unseasonable weather awesome/crappy?" and "How do you know so-and-so?" here are some questions you can ask that might tell you more about a person than his or her taste in weather.


  1. Do you lick the aluminum foil lid on your yogurt after opening it?
  2. Do you find the smell of freshly pumped gasoline attractive?
  3. Have you ever ate your sandwiches inside out? (opening it, eating the meat, tomatoes and such, and then eating the bread last.)
  4. What’s the longest you’ve ever slept?
  5. Who’s your favorite Kennedy?
  6. What's the coolest thing you can do with your littlest toe?
  7. If you got to name the 8th dwarf, what would you call him?
  8. Which Ninja Turtle is your favorite?
  9. Have you ever Googled yourself?

My answers:
  1. Yes. Right after I poke a little hole in the top and peal it off.
  2. I do actually. I've often said there should be a perfume with this fragrance.
  3. I almost always eat my sandwich this way. This is because usually my mouth does not physically open wide enough to fit a large sandwich in it to take a bite. On dates or business meetings I NEVER order a sandwich because of this.
  4. 19 hours. Without drugs.
  5. Bobby. He was wicked smart.
  6. Wiggle it.
  7. Confident
  8. Raphael - He's the smexy-James Deanish one.
  9. Yes. Nothing interesting comes up. 'Cept like this blog.
