Some Brandon-Inspired Git Practice

Fill in your answers to each icebreaker question, then add a question and answer it!

Who makes the best tacos in town?

  • Shane: Tacos Gomez
  • Oriane: I don't think I've ever had a taco in my life, unfortunately.
  • Kristin: The only tacos I've had so far are from Torchy's but I'm sure they're not the best in town!
  • Gramond: Chipotle (I'm vegetarian, so limited options)
  • Shane: Tacos Gomez
  • Amna: They're all underseasoned!
  • Brandon: I do (Amna: @Brandon, would love a demonstration!)

What are the best and worst American state flag designs

  • Shane: Best are clearly Texas and New Mexico. Also Iowa. I have a weird soft spot for Iowa! Worst is Idaho, which incredibly contains the words "State of Idaho" twice.
  • Oriane: I really like Washington (looks really camp). Colorado looks really boring (also who thought the combination of red blue white YELLOW would be good?)
  • Kristin: Best is Oregon because the reverse of the flag has a beaver! Worst is Arkansas - I don't know, it's just a little boring?
  • Gramond: I like the design of Maryland's flag. California is cool also. The worst flag is my home state of Alabama for its simplicity.
  • Amna: Best: New Mexico and the reverse side of Oregon. Worst: there is a dizzying array of red white and blue that's very hard to choose from.

What's your favorite bad movie?

  • Shane: The Net (1995) -- I think this is the first depiction of a pizza being ordered through the Internet.
  • Oriane: any Neil Breen movie is a gem. Personal favourites: Pass Thru (2016), Fateful Findings (2021). Favourite quote: "I resign today, as President of The Bank".
  • Kristin: Hercules Unchained (1959) -- I love this movie because it's featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000, where they spend the whole episode riffing on the movie.
  • Gramond: Shark Tale (2004)
  • Emmy: The Pink Panther (2006)
  • Amna: The Dictator (it pains me to acknowledge this publicly)

If you were a cocktail (or a mocktail) what would you be made of and what would your name be?

  • Oriane: "Pikoù Panez Under the Sun": prosecco, vinho verde, (French) cider, lavender, rose, flower petals, orgeat, brown sugar, lime, chili powder.
  • Kristin: something very sweet! My name would probably be something silly like "the most basic mocktail ever"
  • Gramond: I don't drink, so a virgin cocktail.
  • Amna: "Bil Batori": Iced black tea, rose water, lemon, ginger.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

  • Gramond: Superspeed, because I like the ability to get anywhere within the blink of an eye.
  • Shane: charming regional accent
  • Amna: the ability to control probabilities
  • Kristin: the ability to fly!
  • Oriane: Understanding every language as if it was my own.
