1. What movie deserves a sequel?

Top Gun! (C'mon Mr. Bruckheimer its only been like 30 years! @_@)

2. What one toy would you like to throw repeatedly at a brick wall?

Aww I love toys. I would never do that to a toy.

3. What is one thing you always wanted as a kid, but never got?

Can't think of anything

4. Where do you not mind waiting?

At an airport gate because I love watching planes even if they're just sitting on the ground.

5. What is your most impressive car repair skill?

I've actually repainted the hood roof and trunk of my car and they look just as good as the factory paint. There is a lot of hand sanding and compounding involved but with enough practice and know how, anyone can do it (if they have the time).

1. What movie deserves a sequel?

one of my favorite movies from the 80s era was splash. i always wondered how a sequel would turn out.

2. What one toy would you like to throw repeatedly at a brick wall?

almost any noisy toy. they are the bane of my existence.

and i don't even have kids. : )

3. What is one thing you always wanted as a kid, but never got?

my best gradeschool friend, garth, got all the cool toys. in one year he got a cool yellow motorbike and a shotgun. i really wanted both, but never did.

i remember getting a .22 rifle for my 12th birthday (i think) after i finished hunters' saftey, and recall thinking how disappointed i was that it wasn't a shotgun (even though the rifle was far more practical).

4. Where do you not mind waiting?

as long as i'm not overdoing it (or stuck there) i sort of enjoy watching the stories unfold at the airport. few things i enjoy more than watching people come pick up their loved ones and trying to figure out the back stories of people who are hanging around. it's even more fun waiting with a friend.

5. What is your most impressive car repair skill?

i can replace the windshield wiper blades. i think i've even replaced the other part too. possibly.

and if i needed to, i could change a tire. while i've never had to do it myself before, i've stood over the guy doing it and watched keenly.

i don't know if it counts as repair, but i keep one of those battery charger things in my truck so that i can jump people's battery if necessary (and my own if i ever need to use it). i know how to operate that thing.

1. What movie deserves a sequel?
That doesn't already have one? Well I was always kind of disappointed with Mel Brooks movies that talked about a sequel and then didn't deliver. I think I could enjoy History of the World part II or Spaceballs 2 : the search for more money

2. What one toy would you like to throw repeatedly at a brick wall?
Cellphones. I am adamant that children and teens need to learn to live without them for at least an hour.

3. What is one thing you always wanted as a kid, but never got?
​ The latest video game system. I was still playing intellivision when everyone else had nintendo (though intellivision had much better game concepts).

4. Where do you not mind waiting?
​Waiting is a when thing. If I know I'm going to have to wait, I'll bring a book or my iPod and then I don't mind it. If you say the meeting is going to start at 7 and we don't get started until 7:30 I feel like you've just wasted 30 minutes of my time.

5. What is your most impressive car repair skill?
Yeah I'd like to learn a few more of these I do know how to change a flat tire, check the oil, and attach the jumper cables, but I definitely feel like my car knowledge is inadequate. Though with a little review I could explain the physics behind the internal combustion engine and how it all works. Yes I'm all nerd and few practical skills.

 

[CatHerder]

1. What movie deserves a sequel?

The Incredibles

2. What one toy would you like to throw repeatedly at a brick wall?

a Rubik's Cube. Then it would fall apart and I could put it back together correctly. "There! Solved it!!"

3. What is one thing you always wanted as a kid, but never got?

a Big Wheel

4. Where do you not mind waiting?

I usually don't mind waiting. I like to people watch and make up stories about the passers-by and their relationships. I assign nicknames, such as "staying-together-because-it's-convenient-but-not-really-willing-to-work-on-their-marriage couple," "middle-aged-still-in-love couple," and "looking-for-a-job guy."

5. What is your most impressive car repair skill?

I know how to fill the reservoir with new windshield wiper fluid. I'm such a handyman!! What a catch!!

 

[iTOREtheSKY]

1. What movie deserves a sequel? The Shinning.

2. What one toy would you like to throw repeatedly at a brick wall? Etch-A-Sketch

3. What is one thing you always wanted as a kid, but never got? A pool. Then got a huge in ground one when I bought my home when I was married & within 4 yrs,we decided to fill it in because we rarely got to use it and spent more time cleaning it than anything.

4. Where do you not mind waiting? In a restaurant. I like to just sit & talk,and even if I'm hungry,it just makes it all the more satisfying when the food finally arrives.

5. What is your most impressive car repair skill? I can pump gas,fill a tire,change a spark plug & get out & push. Yay me!

1. What movie deserves a sequel?

In the early 80's there was a "Conan The Barbarian"-type movie called "The Sword and The Sorcerer" that promised (and even named) a sequel at the very end. It never happened, but apparently they made a "sequel in spirit" in 2012 (I haven't seen it). Don't you just hate it when Hollywood makes promises it doesn't keep? *cough cough cough*

2. What one toy would you like to throw repeatedly at a brick wall?

Dolls that sound like crying babies. If you're going to listen to a crying baby, it might as well be the real thing.

3. What is one thing you always wanted as a kid, but never got?

A deluxe Easy Bake Oven, doggone it!!! As a kid, I knew my parents would say no (too expensive) so I thought I'd "bypass" the parental authorities and wrote a letter to Santa (via the large mailbox at my local library) instead. Imagine my disappointment on Xmas morning when no EB Oven was to be found... Yes, I know it's "cooking with a lightbulb". But those pretty heart-shaped cookies, cakes, and brownies with cheery pink icing were just too cute to keep off my list!!

4. Where do you not mind waiting?

I carry an "activity kit" (backpack) with me everywhere I go, so whenever I have to wait, I fill the time with reading materials or writing cards and letters. My one pet peeve is when I have plans with someone and they are so disorganized that it puts us way behind schedule or worse, late for a planned event.

5. What is your most impressive car repair skill?

The day I set foot inside the driver's side of a car and turned the key... I have to say I was pretty darn impressed. (I have since learned how to choose the right air filter and change it... Wiper blades are next in line any day now. )

 

[Grace-Like-Rain]

1. What movie deserves a sequel?

Serenity definitely deserved a sequel, just because of the massive fan base.
(Another few seasons of Firefly would have been even better.)

2. What one toy would you like to throw repeatedly at a brick wall?

A bouncy ball or a squeaky toy.

3. What is one thing you always wanted as a kid, but never got?

I can't really think of anything I always wanted.

4. Where do you not mind waiting?

I'm gonna steal Jim's answer because it's so perfect. I can spend all day talking in a restaurant if I'm with someone whose time I enjoy.

5. What is your most impressive car repair skill?

My dad made me learn to change tires, air up tires, change the oil myself, check fluids, and jump off a car before I was allowed to drive on my own. Applying a hammer to a battery connector that won't connect... that I learned all on my own.

1. What movie deserves a sequel?
Mrs. Doubtfire.......oh wait. that's happening!
2. What one toy would you like to throw repeatedly at a brick wall?
A soccer ball or tennis ball. I used to play soccer in highschool so I enjoy trying to scoop it up into the air and kicking it forward, as well as trying to juggle it. Another thing, the tennis ball thing is what I enjoyed doing all during recess as a child.

Roller skate tennis shoes.
I could have caused great havoc with those things.



4. Where do you not mind waiting?
Anywhere I sit.

waiting on FaceTime from the banana grove down in the lower 48. ) ☺️������

5. What is your most impressive car repair skill?[/QUOTE]
I've done several things depending on what needs to be done; including change a water pump, replace spark plugs, replace
a boot on a constant velocity joint, install a cruise control on a car that did not have one, regularly rotate tires, change oil
and oil filter, bleed brakes when they need it, replace brake calipers, installed 8-track tape players, installed cb radios,
installed tachometer, replace heater core. Pretty simple stuff; just get a maintenance manual and follow directions.

[zeroturbulence]

I feel I really need to change my answer to #3 and add an addendum to #5...


3. What is one thing you always wanted as a kid, but never got?

I once visited my uncle in canada and he had these huge, colorful RC planes hanging on the walls in his den. Some of them must have had wingspans of 6 ft.. I didn't get to see them fly but I remember really wanting one someday.


5. What is your most impressive car repair skill?

Besides my awesome painting skills, I can also diagnose car problems with pretty good accuracy. I can also do a basic tune-up (change spark plugs, set timing with a timing gun (newer cars don't need that), oil change, filter changes, replace distributor cap and rotor, replace spark plug wires). I've also installed several car stereos and speakers over the years.

I can't believe nobody picked the Goonies for number 1 already. What movie could possibly deserve it more than The Goonies?

4. Where do you not mind waiting?

5. What is your most impressive car repair skill?

1. Um. I couldn't think of one of the bat, so I copied someone else's choice but it applies to me. I loved Firefly and wanted to spend more time with the characters and in the Verse, so yeah. A sequel to Serenity would've been awesome.

2. Furbies, maybe. They creep me out.

3. Star Wars action figures.

4. I'm not the most patient person but I can spend quite awhile waiting in a good library or bookshop (but we're only allowed to browse in Aussie bookshops).

5. I don't have one but I can change the oil, coolant and add more water to the uh... front of the car.

 

[tourist]

I don't play with toys anymore.

 

[Tintin]

I don't play with toys anymore.

That's not even one of the questions. I doubt any of us do (except maybe with Lego).

 

[kenthomas27]

1. What movie deserves a sequel? Without question, it's Rocky.

2. What one toy would you like to throw repeatedly at a brick wall? You said repeatedly, and this is only one toss, but it's Monopoly.

3. What is one thing you always wanted as a kid, but never got? I wanted to "crack my head wide open" because I was warned against it about a thousand times. That and "you'll put your eye out" but I actually did that so....


4. Where do you not mind waiting? Hospice care .

5. What is your most impressive car repair skill? I don't like to brag, but I'm pretty mechanically inclined and I believe I could take a dog apart and put it back together again and he'd be alright.
