Question 741: I like em big...and I like em chunky

"I swear by Apollo, the healer, Asclepius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath and agreement:
To consider dear to me, as my parents, him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and, if necessary, to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art..."

What art? What is this?

Question 716: And there's no reason for it to



Fans would like to believe that __X__ has gone on for the past 23 years.__X__ was given its title when A interviewed B for Q magazine in 1989 [ It actually is "Q magazine"]. The relevant part of the interview was:




A: 'Tell me about this live thing. You've gone straight into this ____ again — one ____ virtually straight into the next one.'
B: 'Oh, it's all the same ____.'
A: 'It's the ______X_______?'
B: 'Yeah, yeah'.



B about __X__, wrote:
"Don't be bewildered by the _______X________ chatter. There was a _________X__________ but it ended in '91 with the departure of guitarist G. E. Smith. That one's long gone but there have been many others since then. The Money Never Runs Out ____ (fall of '91) Southern Sympathizer ____ (early '92) Why Do You Look At Me So Strangely ____ (European '92) The One Sad Cry Of Pity ____ (Australia & West Coast American '92) Outburst Of Consciousness ____ ('92) Don't Let Your Deal Go Down ____ ('93) & others too many to mention each with their own character & design."
Tell me what __X__ is.
Identify B.

Question 658: Deth note

"To everyone, to all my friends, I love you, I have to leave. "

__A__ banned that which the above line is connected with due to the belief that it sent out the wrong message.



__X__, believed that __A__ had misinterpreted it and with reference to the ban said, "You made __Y__ man of the year, and if anything he left an indelible last message that the easy way out is to blow your fucking head off."

Question 564 d: It's not about you or me. It's about "we"

Charles - "Fore!"
               *laughs*
               "I feel like I'm mashing the tufty on the links at St. Andrew's"

Waylon (Charles' minion/ epic sycophant) - "Sir, your cheeks are ruddy! Did you eat a sugarcube when I wasn't watching?"


Charles - "No, it's all thanks to this self-powered experience approximator."
               "Wait, I'm shooting at Nazis?"
               "That's not how I remember it."


Self-powered experience approximater? What's it?
Tell me what it's inspired by and it's maker.
