Stoof already had an "Ask Stoof" thread. FYI.

[Mr Stoofer]

Hi, my name is James and I live in London, UK, with my wife and two small children. Some random facts about me: I have ridden an ostrich; several pictures of me have been shown on "Good Morning America"; and I once thought up a legal argument that forced the UK Government to abandon an Act of Parliament.

Originally I signed up for this idea with the intention of doing what I did in the Ask Stoofer thread; but since I a have been specifically chosen by a respected scummer to participate, I am going to take this serisouly.

I am a reasonably private person, so prepare for disappointment if you ask very personal questions.

11. Who on this list should be next for GTKAS?

1. I go through phases of favourite words. I'm liking "laconic" at the moment, especially because of its etymology.
2. "retard"
3. Mrs Stoofer's smile
4. My kids whining
5. "Daddy, I love you", also the roar of the crowd at White Hart Lane.
6. See 4 above.
7. None. I think that I would be unemployable at anything other what I do now.
8. Any, but especially not a "Showbiz" figure being followed around all day by the paparazzi.
9. "Motherfucker"
10. "I hope you enjoyed that, what do you fancy doing next?"
11. Zindaras

What's your favorite game to have played in so far? Moderated so far?

What was your worst game idea (either executed or discarded on the drafting table)?

[DrippingGoofball]

How many does it take?
Why walruses?
Have you ever de-feeted a porpoise?

1. Player: off the top of my head, I enjoyed Peanuts Mafia because I seemed to be in the zone - I only voted 3 players all game, all of them Scum. Mod: Pirates v. Ninjas.

2. I discarded a lot of stupid ideas coming up with Space Monkey Mafia 2, not all of which I can now remember. Starting the game by (truthfully) declaring one player to be Scum was a fairly bad one.

7. None. I think that I would be unemployable at anything other what I do now.

This is clearly a lie.

Answer the question!

Then, please answer the question assuming you can purchase the skills necessary to gain employment, and that there exists a boneheaded segment of society willing to pay you well no matter what you do. Would you become a cricketeer? A professional Peroni and tea-taster? Nanny? Please rattle off five dream jobs.

[Seol]

6. Subutteo

Do you know the etymology behind Subutteo?

[Glork]

You play subbuteo? No shit... that's awesome! I played for years, but haven't really had anyone to play with since I moved and began traveling for work. :/

[MrBuddyLee]

Also, have you seen Spice World, and if so, did the Sporty Spice-Subbuteo scene turn you on?

On my wife's Hen Night, she was asked a series of "Mr & Mrs" style questions which one of her friends had prepared and I had provided the answers to earlier. For the fantasy job question, I answered "Jedi Knight". So I'll go with that.

Do you know the etymology behind Subutteo?

Yes, I certainly do.

[Mr Stoofer]

Actually, I have started training my daughter (she has a Purple Lightsabre, that being her favourite colour) and so I should say "Jedi Master".

Funny kid story: We were watching a clip of The Empire Strikes Back on You Tube the other day, when Darth Vader said: "You are not yet a Jedi". She said unprompted: "He thinks that he is a Padawan". Yes, my three year old uses the word "Padawan" correctly in conversation, unprompted.
