Questions 38 through 46 were answered last night and will be posted at Grady's leisure.
47. It is still earliesh for me here, as it is 9:25 am after a reasonably late night out with Grady showing my sis and I what is up in Honolulu that isn't endless Waikiki. So I cannot answer as I could. Also, this hotel lobby is playing Coldplay at me. Someone must die. Therefore I can only answer right now: it can, but only if assisted by the pancakes at the late night hotel diner at the Hilton we ended up at after midnight, which were called Mac Daddy Pancakes and included one option that was called 'the Elvis,' where peanut butter and bacon were swirled together in the dough. It is truly a weapon of mass destruction.

it should be noted that for the last 6 questions, i checked the thread before we went out, and didn't give them to him until seconds before the camera started rolling.

47. ned, will you be returning to socal soon to help battle these wildfires? i'm readying my ax and hose, personally.
― omar little, Monday, 22 October 2007 15:46 (sixteen years ago) link
47 was asked above but I will call this 47a
47a. Yes, I am returning to SoCal soon (fly back into LAX tomorrow night). On the subject of wildfires, I fear my abilities are somewhat limited, so moral support will be the extent of my help. This will consist of sitting on my balcony, smelling the smoke in the air and cowardly panicking.

48. would you read this in your next video interview?
The ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Gloin, by any craft that we here possess. The ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom. Only there can it be unmade. The ring must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came. One of you must do this.

49. ned, i detect some midwestern in your voice. have you or have you ever been a resident of a midwestern state or perhaps is your family originally from the midwest?
― omar little, Monday, 22 October 2007 19:06 (sixteen years ago) link
Ned's family had to leave Raggettown, Okla., in the 1930's, thanks to the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. Fortunately, years of avacado picking paid off and the family now has its own submarine fleet.

The dude never says "uh" or "um" while staring into a camera and talking for two minutes. That's talent.

Thank you all. Further comments and question answering may have to wait until I'm back home. I'm completely out of it and have to turn in now.

Ned, you are awesome!
― roxymuzak, Tuesday, 23 October 2007 22:20 (sixteen years ago) link
Too kind of you.
48. I could do this. I do not know if I could have the appropriately furrowed-brow look, but give me time. It should be noted that among other things I know how to sign my name in tengwar. If you understand the previous sentence, good on you; if you do not, great on you.
49. This is actually a fairly common question, and requires some elucidation by means of an anecdote. (As is the case with all anecdotes, these should be imagined as being heard in a drawing room somewhere while the teller relaxes with some brandy and a cigar. The walls are lined with old leather-bound books with names like The Study of the Bogomils in Their Years of Exile, Vol. 2 and Life Among the Cannibals: An Interrupted Journal; on the floor is a tiger-skin rug, and obsequious servants stand nearby.)
In my younger days, I once visited a friend's family house, which is located not far south of here in the Dana Point region. I was not the only guest, with another person in attendance being a big bruiser of a guy who was both a graduate student in linguistics and a rugby player. We fell to talking, as is my wont and was presumably his. At a certain point, the other fellow noted that he'd learned what I assumed was a common trick among linguists studying American dialects and possibly others -- namely, that if I counted one to ten for him, he would be able to say what my own accent was, whatever it was. I obliged.
He frowned a bit upon my conclusion of the recitation and said, "Hm. You have Midwestern sports-broadcaster NON-accent."
I took this under advisement. However, there is in fact no reason for me to have this particular accent that I'm aware of. My parents are both Californian by birth and raising, while the roots on both sides go back in the state for a bit as well. Meantime, I spent no time in the Midwest when growing up, instead being raised in Hawaii, California and for three years in upstate New York. Given my proximity to the ocean for much of this time, it should have been expected that I would talk like a surfer or somesuch. Not the case, at least overtly, though I am prone to say the word 'dude' and the like. This therefore is the story of my voice.
50. I prefer to think Harry Shearer sounds like me, having been so captivated by my voice without having ever heard it.

52. Since you have rained on my Rocktober parade (this is not a My Chemical Romances song), should I copy you and do the YouTube Q&A videos of thine own?
