ASK A GABBNEB

most people drop the douche sctick on their ask me threads but whatever

Dear Gab,

the answer was a pastrami and kraut sandwich and a cel-ray

Ed

Ed,

Excellent choice.

Gab

cel-ray!!!

A cel-abratory treat because I have achieved my first target weight on my diet ahead of time.

lol! good for you! cel-ray is awesome!

gab,

when you say "a work of mahler" might replace beet 7 as yr favorite, did you have a particular work in mind? mahler's awesome, but i fear i am more familiar with his vocal works than symphonic, though one of his works for voice + orchestra is one of my favorite all time pieces.

happy weekend!

t,

i'm afraid no more answers are available at this time.

gotta run,

DENIED

Dear tehresa,

These are busy times here at Gabbneb Industries; we apologize for the delay.

To follow up on your most recent query, you are referring to Das Lied von Erde, yes? While quite possibly my favorite "work of Mahler," and one of my favorites in general, I don't generally think of it as a symphony per se, and I did not have one particular work in mind.

Good issue-spotting,
'neb

P.S. There is no game here. Not on my part, at least, lol.
P.P.S. I'm not a "game" kind of dude; too "self-important" (or selfless - you decide) for that.

gabbneb,

really?

De quod non curat lex?

Dear MW,

Your questions are important to us, but we speak American here at ASK A GABBNEB.

Parochially,
'neb

gab,

i was actually thinking of Kindertotenlieder, not Das Lied von der Erde, though those are nice as well. No, they are not symphonies, but they do fall under "classical works" though i guess if you really wanted to be a stickler they're not from the classical period, but you know, generalizations.

i am confused about the game thing?

Minimis, my dear 'neb!

I have a trivia question for gabbneb:

In which two states did Ross Perot finish 2nd in 1992? In one, he got more votes than Clinton; in the other, he got more votes than Bush.

How do you know he's not gonna just look it up?

Well, that wouldn't be very fun, would it?

I forgot that it's past 6 PM in NYC, though.

like that means anything. i'm not gonna look it up, but i don't know off the top of my head. give me a little while.

states that immediately came to mind were Alaska, Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota and Texas. AK, MI and NH in particular I feel like I remember something about. then i focused on the actual placement. Texas would certainly make sense for more-than-Clinton, though I feel like it might have been Alaska, and there's a bunch of plains states that might qualify. Montana could make sense for more-than-Bush? Or Michigan? I think Perot probably did pretty well in Texas and Michigan, but I'm gonna go with Alaska and Montana, figuring that it's easier to get to second in smaller states.

ME and UT. Fail, tho UT should count among the 'bunch of plains states' (I shoulda said Western - was thinking Wyoming maybe)

and they are small states

I'd surmise AK and NH.

jaymc is just pissed he couldn't go to the pub quiz tonight

Who is a better poster: you or LouJag?

no one beats you, Dom

Not 9 though. Weird.

ethan, i am most certainly not a no limit soldier.

as to LJ, i find the dude often unreadable, but generally don't feel the need to post about that fact as long as he isn't in my face, and imagine he's ok irl (if not my type, most likely), tho suggest he keep his private life mostly off of ilx.

am weirdly touched

oh shit private life posting again ;)

Don't ever change
Don't ever change from the
way that you are now
If you ever change
I would be sad 'cause I wanted
you just as you are

so tell us about your KINDA DATE, neb

we have daets all the time and are volunteering for mr. obama on monday, but i do not talk about private life here as per upthread

gabbneb: which USA nat'l park (that you have not already been to) would you most like to visit and why?

awwwwwww

as an occasional poster and constant reader, and in the spirit of keeping it positive, i would like to say that ilx would be(/is) a poorer place without either LJ or G-nebb.

my q though:

how many posters has a gabbnebb suggestbanned?

dan m,

that is an excellent question that i have thought about often in the past. there are a great many worthy contenders, but my first instinct/default response is Glacier National Park, because i like mountains v v much, and the glaciers are generally recognized to be in remission. i hope to go there within the next 2-3 summers, perhaps spending several days backpacking. to provide context for my answer, it may help to know that i have already been to yosemite (once), the grand canyon (several times) and the parks of western washington (numerous times), not to mention a number of urban NPS units, including our great national mall, on which i have watched many fireworks.

keep it wild,
neb

Upt0eleven,

I cannot give you a precise number, but would estimate that i have sb'd approximately 1/4 the number that have sb'd me, while cautioning that i may fail to recollect a number of intemperate sb's of the past.

sb'ed

thx. i have sbed maybe five times. three of which were for lol reasons, one of which was for saying Wall-E was overrated, none of which was you. or roxy.

gab (aka ben) you will never be sorry you spent time in Glacier NP. I hope you have glorious weather and there are no big fires burning nearby.

see ya in 24 days, dom

see ya in 12, gabbneb, louis, and ethan
