I've been in an editing frenzy, lately, trying to pump out a second draft of my NaNo. However, I've found that there are quite a few questions in this world that Wikipedia can't answer. If you can answer a previously unanswered one, I owe you eternal friendship and a critique on the work of your choice (I'm not great with poetry, but I can tell you whether or not it is awful. Fiction's more my thing.)
- When two people--usually female--are angry and confront each other about it and snap four times "in Z formation", what is this called? I have been calling them "bitch snaps" but I am not certain if this is the proper term.
- What is the name of a popular supermarket in the Chicago area?
- [If you have ever been in 4-H] How are cattle judged? I'm mainly looking at pigs and steers, but you have any other 4-H experiences, I would love to hear them. ^_^ You never know what could end up in The Angsty Behemoth.
- What are the little flaps adhered to the ceiling above the front seats of cars called? You know, the things with mirrors, that shield your eyes from the sun...?
- What's the sticky uppy thing in between the two front seats in a car called if it is not a stickshift?
- [If you have ever lived in a small, remote town] Do small, local clinics have emergency teams, and if so, what vehicle do they drive?
- What are the different pieces in "Risk" called?
- For the love of God, can someone properly explain [American] football to me? I am merely a spectator, but this doesn't help when trying to write a good sports announcer rant.
- Ditto baseball.
- Have you ever worked at a Dairy Queen/ice cream place? If so, when did shipments come in, what were your health standards, and how do you turn on a Blizzard machine?
- Are plotlines with fortune tellers, if executed properly, passè?
- Are fines charged for walking on railroad tracks?
- [If you have ever worked at a golf course] Are stray balls ever retrieved, or do you simply leave them rot? [Balls "in the thick", off of the fairway, blah blah].
- How fast do trains travelling across countryside go? Freight trains- coal trains, you know the drill. How far out of town do they begin to slow? How slow?
- [If you have a cell phone] Where do you not "have bars"? Do they break if you throw one against the wall?
- How do you work an old-fashioned film reel?
- Are you lawfully allowed to teach creationism in US public schools?
- When is frostbite determined bad enough to amputate?
- How do snowplow drivers determine where to plow?
- What happens if you break your leg but cannot seek medical attention for three or more days?
- Is it bad form to ask your date to pitch in a few dollars for a tip?
- Does your death have to be traumatic if you die with your eyes open?
Danke, in advance. ^_^
