[AMA] Some Random Guy with a Title Too Short

Hey,

I'm a completely random person with practically no insightful information to offer the public. I have made no major achievements in my life, aged 33 and still live with my parents. Go ahead and ask me anything.

  • As a "Random Guy" when you are away or on holiday, do you have to interview your replacement or
    do you just pick anyone.

    Also, what numbers would a Random Guy suggest I pick for OzLotto Draw #1119 (tomorrow night).
    Only $20 Million at stake, so no pressure…

    • Don't need a random guy to tell you that… 1 2 3 4 5 6 for sure… just imagine the bragging rights you get if you won with that.

      Hang on… I'm a random guy too!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!

      I was under the impression that I had to just pick anyone… maybe that's why I lost my job.

    You know when people dial numbers on their phone at Random… do you get all the calls?
    How do you cope?
    Do you have an answering machine?
    Or, do you just answer calls at Random?

      You know when people dial numbers on their phone at Random… do you get all the calls?

      Yes

      How do you cope?

      Normally I have my phone on silent and look at it every once in a while. When I am feeling lonely I will answer the phone regardless and pretend to be the individual the other person is looking for.

      Do you have an answering machine?

      Voicemail is disabled.

      do you just answer calls at Random?

      Occasionally.

  • where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

    • Buying and selling property after renovating houses for a profit.

      • thats good bro, sounds like u on the right track
        do you own any properties yet or have some cash saved up to start investing?

        • Renting one propriety from the bank at the moment. Currently working on the landscaping to make it look nice and flip it in a couple years. Don't 'own' diddly squat yet :D.

  • This just made my afternoon. You talk about renovating property… Do you prefer single or two storey dwellings? Tiles or wood? Paint or wallpaper? Concrete or brick?

    • Single, tiles (unless real wood, not floating floor crap), paint but wallpaper is good for a feature, and rendered > brick but it depends on the budget.

  • Do you grow fruits trees at backyard? If it grows outside your fence, do you mind other people picking from outside?

    • +1

      Well he said he's greek so his backyard must be conclete! ;p

    • +1

      Yes, there are several fruit trees here at my parents place, and we do not mind if people take the ones that grow over the fence. Although, it is frustrating when people walk into the front yard and take them. The house is a corner block with a gate on each side and no fence between the nature strip and start of the house.

  • Hey doc, are you afraid of people working out who you are IRL

    • Somewhat. I'm sure if someone who knew me was reading this, they probably could figure out it's me.

      • -1

        you said your missus checks ozbargain…
        so i guess your not to worried about that side of things.

  • Should I get back with my ex?

    • tell yourself why you broke up in the first place..

      • Mostly my fault, I became a different man. I lost my affection.
        I was mad at simple things ie: she suddenly had to go home early during our date, etc.

        • These are traits that you can simply be self aware of for the future. Whether it is with the same person, or another.

    • Depends on why you broke up in the first place.

        double posting

    • Never make an ex an ex ex ;-)

  • how long have you been with your girlfriend? does she mind that you dont work?> what does sjhe do for work?

    • There is allot of crap in this thread now, but I mentioned this earlier. We have been together for 4 years this September. She does mind to a degree, more so for my own mental well being and not the financial aspect. And she is a Parole Officer.

      • +1

        sounds good man, alteast you have a nice girlfriend if you life….so its not all bad news !! do you smoke weed?

        • When I get the chance to. I never purchase it myself, but will always have a bit whenever it's around.

        • -1

          @DrPayne1990: so does your gf live with you guys?

    what do you get when you cross an owl with a bungee cord?

  • what do you look like?

  • Can u wear yr wedding dress to yr best mate's engagement party?

    • A very disturbing thread-skim, this one. This poor, Payne, bastard, has very effectively been waterboarded, not least - fairly appropriately, I suppose - by a duck.

      What are you up to Jar Jar, with this question? Doing a Caitlyn Jenner??

      Oh.

      Give me a minute, Mr. Wiki…

      • Doing a Caitlyn Jenner

        with a wedding dress?

        • Whatever you had to type in to find that particular GIF, I suggest you clear it from your browser history, Mr. Binks.

          Type in 'groodle', instead.

          Your Mission - Should You Choose To Accept It - is to track down one of those designer fur-babies before that engagement party.

        • @Tas: I already have an ewok, a 3-legged cat and a plastic gold fish… on top of twins and a Mrs wicket. For my sanity's sake, I won't be adding to the menagerie…

        • @partypooper: Did I say buy? Borrow.
          Otherwise, be it on your head if the wife looks too snazzy for the soirée.

          Maybe you could dress in all-whites as a cricket umpire / regularly signal leg-byes in order to deflect attention.

          More things to consider. You have until November. I'll leave it with you.

  • Stalagmites go up, and stalactites go down. What is your technique for remembering which is which?

      Stalagmites
      Ground

      stalactites

      Stalagtites have to hold on tight to stay up there!

    • stalactites

  • Do you pee in the shower?

    • You are batman, you can spy.

    • I do…. always

      do you shit in the shower?

  • What motivates you

    • Mousie

    • Not much at the moment, but generally my own thoughts motivate me. I set my mind on something and will aim to achieve it.

  • +7

    It's all an illusion. No one ever has achieved anything. There is nothing to be achieved. Whole existence is made from same atoms and electrons and space creating the illusion of separation. A tree is one tree, cut it down and make 5 chairs and it is perceived as five objects. Before big bang, everything was all one. Now it is many. Just live through this illusion but don't be fooled by it. What is 'Achievement' in your opinion? The likes of Alexander and Genghis khan conquered the world, where are they now? Who knows how many worlds are there, how many conquerors? You have been dead for eternity, now you have few moments of life (although just an illusion), just live it up. Don't compare to others. Enjoy it. Remember the whole tree is contained in a small seed in a seed in a seed in a seed.

    Love,

  • Do you have a big one or a little one?

    You can't answer normal sized or medium.

    • +1

      relatively large.

  • How many friends and colleges or people in general do you think would help you out at times when you are down ? As an immigrant I feel that I do not have as many people as I would like, I mean people around me who care. How would you make it better ?

    • Maybe 5 including my mother.

    Is your wife hot?
    What is your online banking account # and password.

    • hahah

    • I find her extremely attractive, but everyone has a different perception of what 'hot' means to them.

      Also, here are my banking details:

      Account number: 01100110 01110101 01101011
      Password: 01110101

        Here is an example of Hot. I am no computer geek and do not understand binary. But I do understand what you said was bad. So

        01110111 01101000 01111001 00100000 01110011 01101111 00100000 01110011 01100101 01110010 01101001 01101111 01110101 01110011 00100000 01100010 01110101 01100100 01100100 01111001

        • From my personal experience, extremely beautiful women are not as fun to be with.

          I have had some 10's over the years, but those women lacked personality.

          I grew to apprishate people and see beyond their looks at a yonung age.

          Plus, if you set your standards to high you will always be alone.

      • I find her extremely attractive

        Would you say you were punching above your weight?

        • 94kg

  • Netflix or happy hours?

    • +1

      Happy hours of course.

  • Are you still there?

  • -1

    Here's a trifecta for you Doc.

    How do I know that I exist? What is the meaning of "your" life? How old do you think I am?

  • Too funny.. Love this

  • How often do you lucid dream?

    • *edit

    • They come and go. When I start to have them I generally have multiple during the week. But when my mind isn't working overboard, I don't have them as frequently.

  • Mazda 6 or cx3 or cx5?

    • Mazda 6. Not a fan of large cars.

  • Hey OP a guy rides into town on a Wednesday, stays three nights and leaves on a Thursday….. how is that possible ??

    • Hes in the far reaches of the hemisphere where for a period of time - the sun is there 24 hours a day. It wanes enough for three nights to pass before the next thursday.

    • +8

      Wednesday and Thursday are the names of his horses.

  • You seem quite advantaged, I'm wondering if you believe you'd gain happiness thinking beyond yourself? As your wife works to serve the public perhaps something similarly giving could grant some perspective. Serious not sardonic; you seem somewhat considerate, contemplative at least. I think you can aim higher than privileged land baron, I recommend you watch this

  • What's your happiest memory? What's your saddest memory?

    JV: Hot or not? Bold or standard type font?

  • Is there any linguistic reason so many Greek names end in S? Zeus, Icarus, Daedalus etc. Like how you can usually tell if a name is Russian if there is a V at the end or near the end.

    • +1

      Probably the same reason Italian names end in vowels, Scottish names start with Mc, and Irish names start with O'.

    Sorry for not replying all. I went out for dinner last night with the other half and stayed back home for the first night in over a month.

    Had a large chat with my partner and reflected on my actions and emotions as of late.

    I have made the decision to find part time work for the first time in years, and continue/finish my academic study (maybe work towards neurophysiology :)).

    The bottom line is that I'm simply not happy, which is not a normal thing. I am generally the driving/motivating force in the relationship. I am prepared to snap out of this silly headspace and get back on track.

    In some strange way, this thread has really helped me collect my thoughts and by simply talking about myself to complete strangers without judgment. It was fun being silly with some people in a completely random way which made me laugh.

    Just wanted to say thanks to you all. Even though you may think you have just posted on some random thread, please understand that you have helped me.

      Great to hear and all good things (like this thread) must end.

      But I still must know…. Big one - or little one?

      HouseOfPayne2015/GuantanamoBae: Very pleased that this thread turned out to be therapeutic for you, my friend.

      I reckon that it could've gone either way. In the final wash-up!

    What is your First and Last Name, Address, Date of Birth and Medicare Number?

  • What do you do for sex the 8 years between 21 to 29 when you were single?

    • -1

      To be honest, I got in contact with a lot of people from high school who were completely out of my league then. That along with going out a fair bit and some minor relationships as well.

  • What was your first computer ?
