A forum for the fans of that comic by Kyle Shaezer and Travis Hite

The thread title is a song I was listening to while trying to come up with a thread title. Before that it was "A pathetic spur to traffic", which is accurate but less good.
The traffic part is that it's a post and maybe people will respond to it. The pathetic part is that it's a personality test!
Proust Questionnaire: not by Proust, but popularized by him doing it. I heard it someone do one on the radio, and thought it sounded interesting:
Your favorite virtue: Curiosity
Your favorite qualities in a man: Skill
Your favorite qualities in a woman: Confidence
Your chief characteristic: Saturninity
What you appreciate the most in your friends: Tolerance of me.
Your main fault: Sloth.
Your favourite occupation: Disassembly
Your idea of happiness: Freedom from concern with all that one does not to be concerned with.
Your idea of misery: To be without leisure, sanity, and skin.
If not yourself, who would you be?: If I am someone else, they are no longer them and I am no longer me. I could describe someone whose life I want, but I don't know of anyone who meets that description.
Where would you like to live?: Here, but in the orbit of Jupiter
Your favourite colour and flower: Green or blue. Fritillaria imperialis. Or Rose, but that's boring.
Your favorite prose authors: Douglas Adams, William Gibson, Larry Niven, Niel Gaiman.
Your favorite poets: I am not a consumer of poetry.
Your favorite heroes in fiction: Bryan Mills (Taken). I didn't think very hard about this.
Your favorite heroines in fiction: Alys Brangwin. I didn't think very hard about this either, but it's more accurate.
Your favorite painters and composers: Dali, Beethoven (More boring then Roses!).
Your heroes in real life: I've never really had heroes. I know there are probably aspects of everyone I would find unheroic flaws. In a minor sense, Alan Heng, who does my job while appearing mostly asleep.
Your favorite heroines in real life: There's only one female I know of who does the same job as me. She appears fully awake.
What characters in history do you most dislike: History is full of oppressors. I hate oppressors.
Your heroines in World history: History is dominated by males and the viewpoints of males. Also, I don't pay attention to it. Boudica probably.
Your favorite food and drink: The best thing about food is variety.
Your favorite names: Of people? Real people? These are horrendous restrictions.
What I hate the most: Unfreedom.
World history characters I hate the most: We did this one already. I also hate tedium. History is full of that, too.
The military event I admire the most: The D-day beach assault. This may be based on my having experienced a simulation of this event, which I think conveyed a significant portion of how nasty it was.
The reform I admire the most: Political? I scorn the lack of it, rather than lauding what little occurs.
The natural talent I'd like to be gifted with: Talent is not natural, only aptitude. I'd like to be able to manipulate people.
How I wish to die: When I wish, and not before.
What is your present state of mind: Obstinate philosophical
For what fault have you most toleration?: lack of persistence.
Your favorite motto: It doesn't matter, don't worry about it. This is supposedly a translation of the Thai "Mai bin lai", but I think it's not a precisely accurate one, so I'll just go with the english.
The fact that I did this at all is related to the specific mental defect I have where I consider internet personality tests something worthy of wasting my time with. Other people may not feel the same, but this is a post, so someone will probably say something.

Gah, you're suddenly North Dakotan. Hello! So it took a week for a response to that. Kite better be working on that novel.
--------(the rest of this is on topic, such that it is, you can ignore it)------------------
I thought of some names of people I liked, but then I forgot what they were or decided I didn't like them. You should see the answers Proust gave though, what a dick.

suchas:
"Your favorite prose authors: the prose authors I like the most"
Why even say anything?
He's a famous author of some sort. Classic literature tends not to interest me.

This thing is long, and I do not tend to take such tests, but hello nonetheless.
