Odd questions thread

I had a series of bicycles but I never had a skateboard.

How old were you when you first learned to ride a bicycle without training wheels?

 

[Edge]

I was 5 years old I think.

What's your best memory from being a kid?

 

[milagros317]

Getting my own bedroom when we moved from the Bronx to New Jersey.

How many different places did your family live when you were age 0 to 17?

 

[Edge]

2 one when I was a baby and then we moved when I was 3 years old I think.

What price are you willing to pay to see the Dodgers in the World Series?

 

[milagros317]

I paid $1500 to see Game 7 of the 2017 World Series which was a disaster.
I paid $920 to see Game 5 of the 2024 World Series which was a triumph.
Now that I have been in the stadium when the Dodgers won the World Series, I am no longer willing to pay a huge amount to see it happen again.

How much would you pay to see the Jets in a Super Bowl?

 

[Edge]

$1000 but I am not sure if that will even get me a nose bleed ticket.

What's the worst you've ever been ripped off you felt?

 

[milagros317]

Spending roughly $10,000 (for tickets, hotel room, car rental, airfare, and incidentals) to see Games 1, 2,, 6, and 7 of the 2017 World Series and later finding out the Astros cheated to win it. If I had the power to do so, I would have all the cheating players executed by hanging.

What is one great bargain that you got and still remember?

 

[Edge]

My first car I got for $6,000 and it lasted me 10 years.

What's your thoughts on this winter so far?

 

[milagros317]

It has been much too cold so far. 🥶🥶🥶

What is the furthest north you've ever been?

 

[Edge]

Northern Canada.

What's your favorite thing about Canada?

 

[milagros317]

We have been at peace with them since 1814.

What is one bad experience you have had in Canada?

 

[Edge]

I met a few nasty people there but it's ironic because Canadians are probably overall much more friendly than Americans are.

What's your thoughts on the bitter cold for the next 7-10 days and the impending possible 12+ inch snowstorm?

 

[milagros317]

My thoughts are that I should have moved to Florida in 2017.

What place has the ideal climate for you?

 

[Edge]

San Diego.

What's one place you never visited that you'd like to?

 

[Edge]

Italy.

Would you rather go to Florida or California?

 

[milagros317]

Florida

What would be the ideal Superbowl match up for you this year?

 

[Edge]

Jets vs. Giants (I loved seeing Yankees vs. Mets in the World Series but doubt we'll ever see Jets vs. Giants Superbowl).

When's the last time you remember a winter this consistently cold?

 

[milagros317]

It was worse in December 1976 to March 1977 if I'm remembering correctly.

Would you rather endure a very hot and humid summer or a very cold and snowy winter?

 

[Edge]

Easily very hot and humid summer (as long as my a/c holds out so I can sleep good).

Who do you think will win the Superbowl (if you know who is playing)?

 

[milagros317]

While I don't follow the NFL, I can not escape hearing some NFL coverage on the news. So, I will pick the New England Patriots to win in 2026.

In what future year will a team from New York next win the Superbowl?

 

[Edge]

The Giants will win the Superbowl in 2 years from now (bold prediction but a young QB who is really good, a real good head coach coming in this year who has won before and some other young players they have who got hurt this season but are very promising).

What's your day look like today?

 

[milagros317]

I will spend today relaxing and recovering from yesterday, when I worked 17 hours (5am to 10pm) for the Board of Elections.

When will we get a day that reaches 60°F?
