The method of choosing was crude and simple. I numbered the entries (1-7) in the order they came in. I entered 1 as the lower limit and 7 as the upper limit into a random number generator. Then I simply clicked enter until 4 different numbers were generated.
The first numbers that were generated were 1, 5, 4, and 6 in that order.
Donors and donations:
My initial pot - 2g, 200 IEP
Bhane's donation - 5g, 500 IEP
Anonymous donation - 5g
Jiosen's donation - 3g
Daniel.Plainview's prizemoney - 200 IEP
Moonbeam's donation - 5 g, 1000 IEP
Total - 20 Gold 1900 IEP
Thank you to everyone who entered and to everyone who donated! It may be corny, but you are the spirit of Ireland!
Who is king of the sea?! Ask Harrilal!
How it works: I take the first five (5) questions asked in the previous article's comment section and answer them however I see fit.
John Gormley asks, "Why can't we have nice things?"
Well, you don't read the instructions, you drink and drive, and you've been known to go streaking in public arenas... I daresay, John Gormley... you're the reason we can't have nice things!
Releasethe Krakken asks, "My 7 wifes are giving me the boot so which of my 50 gf's should i make my new 6 wives?"
As Nogin mentioned, you definitedly need someone with some serious cash flow, but make sure you can handle them as well. You don't want to have to pay 13 sets of alimony after all.
As there were so few questions, it is now time to go back to the archives to find the earliest unanswered questions and bring them to light!
PimpDollaz asks, "Have you tried Angostura 1919?"
I have tried it indeed! I have a slew of family that works at the distillery so I have had the good fortune of being able to sample almost all of their rums in production (and some that are not!) since 2001. I've even had a wee bit of the "most expensive rum in the world". Which to be brutally honest, is terribly overrated. It has been aged so long and processed in such way that I find it tastes more like brandy.
I like 1919 a fair bit. I like to terms rums in the vein of 1919 and 1824 "cookie rums" because they are so sweet and have a lot of vanilla and other extracts. Though, honestly I prefer their other rums. More of a "classic rum" man. Gotta love the oaky tastes of Vat 19, White Oak and Royal Oak,
Liam Tatlock asks, "If the answer is 42, what is the question?"
Lalo292 pointed out the answer you were most likely looking for (using THHGTTG as a reference), "What is the answer to life the universe and everything?". Anthony Colby also had an answer that would be technically correct. Also acceptable are "What is 6x7?", "How many states does George W. Bush think there are in the US?", and "In what year was Pope Sixtus I born?"
John Gormley asks, "What present would be best for Releasethe Krakken to give to his love Victor Kurgan for next Valentine's Day?"
One would assume that the ultimate present for VK from RTK would be the CP seat of Ireland, the head of Irishbhoy, or a commander's position in Ordo Hereticus after he takes the leadership role. Though, since those may be a long way off, VK may settle for a humourous article in "Kalashnikov".
And that’s five!
Remember folks! The first five (5) questions asked in the comments of this article, will be answered in my next article!
Thanks for reading!
