Meme grabbed from shipperx



If I were a book, I would be written by: Joe Haldeman.

If I were a food, I would be: Probably a curry. Maybe a Jalfreze, something that makes you drink a lot of water.

If I were a place, I would be: London.

If I were a taste, I would be: Meat. Apparently, it's an actual separate taste, but I forget the clinical name.

If I were a scent, I would be: Either onions or oranges.

If I were a religion, I would be: Is there one that has the whole "do unto others" philosophy without either the excess ritual or exclusion issues? I guess one would call that "humanist."

If I were a word, I would be: um, tough one. Likely something a bit off-color. This is a bit like that "what's your favorite curse word?" on Inside the Actor's Studio, isn't it? Oh, wait. Redemption. Everyone who ever used it would have to invoke me, like a genie. Or maybe Disagree.

If I were a body part I would be: A hand, maybe. Or a foot. Okay, a foot.

If I were a facial expression I would be: Huh? Okay, I guess that's my answer. "Huh." Or a glower. Actually, that would be a different question. Something more like "what expression do your old coworkers (from whom I just found out last night think of me as having been "hardcore" - in a good way, I hope) associate with you" or something.

If I were a subject in school I would be: Um, hm. In high school? Band.

If I were a cartoon character I would be: An utterly terrifying ninja chick.

If I were a shape I would be: A figure eight.

If I were a number I would be: Let's stick with the "eight."

If I were an item of clothing, I would be: a pair of jeans.

If I were a piece of jewelry, I would be: an ornate silver ring.

If I were a clothing accessory, I would be: a stocking hat.

Okay, that's a cute little survey. And in point of fact, you are London - after all, we keep getting mail addressed to your evil twin of that name, evidently due to some kind of database glitch.

As for the taste of meat, that would be "umami," which you can read all about right here. I note that their photo of Professor Ikeda, the discoverer of this mysterious fifth flavor, looks like something you'd see during the obligatory "historical research" passage of a Japanese horror movie. "At the beginning of the twentieth century, Professor Kikunae Ikeda of Tokyo Imperial University was thinking about the phenomenon of spontaneous human combustion..."

And if I were a religion, I think you'll agree it would have to be Zen Buddhism, in which cosmic wisdom is pursued through the contemplation of silly non sequiturs.
