A meme - an ology meme

Paula made me do it. And I'm trying to cool down after a lovely walk in the sun after having been to the post office and then deciding to walk around the pond on my way home, stopping to look at black coots feeding their young, a magpie taking a bath, and crows looking at me quite leerily, and then stopping off at the store for almonds (good if you get gas) and Nestea Peach - the sugar content be damned, it's nice and cold and tasty! Uh, right, so here I sit. May as well meme. (Then I have to go finish packing.)

GRUB-OLOGY

On average, what size tip do you leave at a restaurant? Norway doesn't do tipping, but if I'm extra pleased, I'll leave up to 10%.
What food could you eat every day for two weeks and not get sick of? Cold cereal. I do that already.

What are your pizza toppings of choice? All of them!
What do you like to put on your toast? Butter and jam.

TECH-OLOGY
Number of contacts in your cell phone? Hardly any. I don't use my cell that much.
Number of contacts in your email address book? Several dozen.
What is your wallpaper on your computer? At work: A ladybug (came with the Mac). At home: See photo; took it myself.
What is your screensaver on your computer? A slideshow I made of National Geographic pictures.
Are there naked pictures saved on your computer? No. I'm so disappointed.
How many land line phones do you have in your house? One.
How many televisions are in your house? One.
What kitchen appliance do you use the least? The egg cooker.
What is the format of the radio station you listen to the most? This question is irrelevant to Norway, where commercial radio stations play only top 40 stuff, and the non-commercial do all-purpose programming.
How many sex toys do you own that require batteries? None.

BI-OLOGY
What do you consider to be your best physical attribute? Eyes.
Are you right handed or left handed? Right.

How do you express your artistic side? Blogging, photography and my work (graphics designer).
What color do you think you look best in? Cerise.
How long do you think you could last in a medium security prison? I'd probably be sent to isolation pretty quickly (after losing every fight). And that I'd probably enjoy.
Have you ever swallowed a non-food item by mistake? No, only on purpose.
If we weren't bound by society's conventions, do you have a relative you would make a pass at? I think society's conventions are a good thing. Unless we're talking second cousins.
How often do you go to church? Never in this country unless it's a funeral.
Have you ever saved someone's life? Maybe. If so, it's weird to think about.
Has someone ever saved yours? Once I was about to grab a live wire, but was stopped in time. Y'know, it doesn't have the impact it should.

DARE-OLOGY
For this last section, if you would do it for less or more money, indicate how much. [This'll be a waste of time. Money isn't much of a motivator for me.]
Would you walk naked for a half mile down a public street for $100,000? No.
Would you kiss a member of the same sex for $100? Dang. I could've gotten paid?
Would you have sex with a member of the same sex for $10,000? Y'mean I could get paid to do that?
Would you allow one of your little fingers to be cut off for $200,000? Absolutely not. I need 'em for typing blogs.
Would you never blog again for $50,000? Yes, but I'd be lying.
Would you pose naked in a magazine for $250,000? If I could be persuaded to do it for free, I'd do it for money. I'm not sure you could pursuade me.
Would you drink an entire bottle of hot sauce for $1000? No.
Would you, without fear of punishment, take a human life for $1,000,000? No.
Would you shave your head and get your entire body waxed for $5,000? No, that's too expensive. I can get that done for 1/100 the price... Oh, you mean I would get the $5000.
Would you give up watching television for a year for $25,000? Ooh, toughy. Uhm, could I? Would I? Is the money worth never turning the TV on for anything, like even the news? One could do a lot with $25,000 (which is about what I earn a year). What if it were $1 million? [thinking] No. The answer is no. I don't know what I'd do with the money, so I can't see giving up some favorite shows and good movies for it. Though we are talking only a year. No. The answer is still no. OK, I'm done. It's "no".

I hope no one thinks I'm obsessing on the little finger thing but actually, you don't need it for typing blogs.

I blog quite well without mine.

Hah, I checked your blog. You're cheating!

I did have a boss with 10 fingers who typed with 4 as fast as I touch-type with my 9. No, I'm not missing one; I just never use my left thumb when typing. So I need my pinkies.

BTW, did you get $200,000 for yours?

How so???

No I didn't get the $200,000; I had to pay to have it closed up properly by a hand surgeon.

I f you mean the 2/3 thing, what's left is useless as it is extremely sensitive. And I type with only my index fingers, but quite fast.

You already know what it's like to type pinky-less. Is all. Sort of reminded me of the riddle/joke, "What would you rather have: One hole in your knee, or seven holes in your head?" Having actually had a hole in my knee, I picked that one (and was wrong). :-)

Those were interesting answers. Do other European countries also have no tipping?

It varies. The farther south you go, the more common it gets. Also varies with what percentage is considered a good tip. In the Scandinavian countries, it's included in the price.

I mean, the farther south you go, the more common tipping gets.
