I've got questions from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hsifyppah!
1. The most perfectest mccoaster designed to make Amys beam. Whatsit like? Ride POV fic!
( Musing about other coasters and history. )
However. The thing that both of those other coasters don't have that my favorite Arrow Dynamics coaster does have is a natural element. My favorite best-coaster-ever would be an out-and-back, non-inverting steel coaster with a noisy, slow, high first hill (275 feet would be about perfect) and it would be set somewhere pretty. Because what's the point of rushing around and being up so high if there's nothing to see while you're doing it? (Okay, it'd be awesome anyway, but it wouldn't be nearly so striking.) There would be trees. And a lake. The first hill would be 275, and it'd use the momentum to take you up another high hill and down, then up into a turned loop. And then, there would be a second lift hill. I love coasters with second lift hills. Noisy slow ones with trees. And that hill? Would be about as high as the second hill. It wouldn't look like it. It would look shorter. Because it would have the same drop but go further - go underground. I rode Hades for my 27th birthday, courtesy ofdapatty, and it has the world's longest underground coaster tunnel, and it was fantastic. I want a steel coaster that does that, and I want it very badly.
2. That one person? Whose head needs to EXPLODE. You get to do it by fiddling them to death. It's just going to work. What song are you playing on your DOOMVIOLIN?
Oh, dear. That sounds messy. Let's see, a headexplodey song would have to go up to the E string, to the highest note I can play in first position. It would have to be something you could play violently and quickly. I don't think it could be in a major key. I'd play Maroon Bells, by Rick Wagner. It's like Tam Lin but with a different je ne sais quois, and also the string crossings are less annoying, so I can play it faster, which I think is important for head-exploding. This is actually something I think about a lot since reading Charles Stross. It's in D minor (the saddest of all keys), my favorite key. You can find music for it on here on the Kitchen Musician Site under M in the North American tunes section.
3. What is the best candy? Can I have some too?
Yes. In fact, you can have a flavor-by-flavor breakdown.
( Fruit Flavors. )
( Chocolate With Nuts. )
( Chocolate Truffles. )
4. There is now a church of Amy. There's a choir with perfect pitch, a shrine to the Magnum XL, the works. What do the evangelistic Amysh peeps say when they knock on the door to share the blue news?
"Do you enjoy music? Is your family crazy? Do you need a drink? Five dollars for a holy quest is a good deal. You're gonna love communion."
5. FANGBONER.
*snorfles*
6. Wait, that wasn't a question. Okay okay here we go. I know that children in Ohio throw apples at policemen on Hallowe'en. What do they do on the fourth of July?
They face North, looking over their shoulders to the south, and wiggle their hindquarters mockingly in the direction of Louisiana to celebrate our victory over being retroactively fit in as the 17th state to join the union, just before they did. "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, much my butt, Louisiana!" Of course, in southeastern Ohio, where I grew up, they mostly ditch the ritual observances in favor of dropping those little step-on-'em cracklers everywhere so that you can't even walk inside the grocery store without having a heart attack.

In accordance with meme law, if you request, I will give you five questions of your own! Although they may not be of such excellent quality. But you are also allowed to just comment on my fanaticism for coasters and candy.
