Wow, a glacier would be amazing! Are there any really popular places for it? A good deal of people climb in the Alpines or in North America it is popular in the Rocky Mountains. I can see those being some excellent places to go mountaineering. I would think it would be better to go with others and not alone, more safe?'

Johny Cash may be old school country, but if I'm listening to country -- THAT'S what I love best. How about you? I did not realize he was not only a singer-songwriter, but also guitarist, actor and author. Absolutely. And the *longevity* of his relevance while he was alive continues now that he's no longer with us. Did you ever see the movie where Joaquin Phoenix played Cash, and Reese Witherspoon played his wife June? I don't believe so but I do like Reese Witherspoon - she was raised in Tennessee Definitely a Southern belle. And she can sing, too. Both Phoenix and Witherspoon were nominated for Oscars for their portrayals -- Reese won for Best Actress! Was the film Walk the Line? It was nominated for 5 Oscars. Yes -- thank you -- I couldn't remember the name. Even though that's the name of one of his best known songs. One of my favorites along with "Ring of Fire". I think some of his signature songs were also Folsom Prison Blues and Man in Black. Ding ding ding! You are correct! Now you realize you're going to have to go and give them a listen, right?! ;-) I also love some of his late-in-life covers, like the haunting "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails. The video is deeply bittersweet.

I own a fishing boat. Do you sometimes call it a fishing vessel? That is another name for a boat used to catch fish in the sea. We mostly call it a fishing boat, but yeah! It's a fishing vessel, more for recreational use though. Ah yes so it falls into one of the three categories of fishing vessels, commercial, artisanal, and recreational. Oh interesting! What is an artisanal fishing vessel Much like recreational fishing vessels it is sometimes difficult to estimate the number of artisanal fishing vessels, they mostly refer to a unique fishing vessel built for a specific purpose. Ahhh I see. We live in Florida, so there's quite a few different kinds of fishing vessels whenever we go out on the water.
[ "that makes a lot of sense, prior to the 1950s you would see a larger variety of fishing vessels on the water, after that they became more standardized." ]
Do you think that video games are a form of art? I do, you can create your own platform with visuals and gameplay, and tailor the story to your vision. It has a lot of artistic aspects to it. I see where some critics have challenged games of creative expression as works of art What are their major criticisms? It could make for an interesting discussion. I believe they argue similar to the supreme court about expressive elements like storytelling, graphics, and music I do not understand, those seem like elements of art to me, yet they do not consider video games to be works of art? This seems confusing.
[ "It is confusing. The supreme courts have granted video games legal protection as creative works, but opponents say they are not works of art" ]
I have always loved art, and one of my biggest inspirations is Leonardo Da Vinci. He was a painter, inventor, and engineer among other things I've heard about him but don't really know much. Can you tell me more? Well, he is credited with many inventions, such as the tank, the parachute and helicopter really? I would never guess that! I thought he was just a painter@ Not at all.

Well, believe it or not, surfing has been around since humans began to swim in the oceans. lol Thats a long time ago. Yes it is! Body surfing is the oldest type of riding the waves. Its hard to imagine a cave man body surfing.
[ "Lol that is so true! I bet the cave man looked very cool though. Standing up on surfboards was developed by the Polynesians." ]
Are you a fan of the Backstreet Boys? They formed in Orlando, Florida in 1993. No. Ack, all that type of music just hurt my ears back then. I agree. Apparently Nick Carter was in the group. I do remember that. It was so awful but that kinda that gets stuck in your head for hours. That's pretty true. Their debut international album was "Backstreet Boys" in 1996. What kind of music do you actually like? They also came out with a single called "Never Gone" after hiatus. I like classical and jazz and modern forms of electronic music They came back?

Have you ever worked as a bank teller before and dealt with customers directly? I have not, no. It sounds like an important job since you deal with so much money on a daily basis though! I think it would be very difficult, I have considered it and they even provide on-the-job training! That's good to know! I'm sure they train for how to deal with the rare case of a robbery, as banks are often targets for that. They definitely do! Since the tellers are usually the first people you see, they know how to detect and stop fraudulent transactions and what to do in case of robbery or identity theft That's nice to know, it's always good to know what to do in case of an emergency. Bank tellers really do play an important role.

I'm wondering whether or not I should get a Golden Retriever for the family. Could you fill me in about them? Golden Retrievers are fantastic family pets! I think they're my favorite breed of dog!
[ "They really are. I guess I'll tell you about them, instead! So, they're obviously a large-sized breed of dog, but most people don't realize, since they've become great family dogs, that they actually were mainly used as gun dogs, to retrieve waterfowl (ducks, etc.) during hunting and shooting parties." ]
I love all things Nike! They have the best footwear, apparel and accessories! Do you like Nike stuff? Yes. I love Nike.

Gone with the Wind is such an emotional movie! I agree. And it's a classic! What other films do you like? I really enjoy certain cult films, such as Wes Anderson movies. Cult films are huge where I live because of John Waters. Also, I saw Mommie Dearest recently and it was awesome.
[ "Definitely, cult films are very dedicated to their fanbase. What is that movie about?" ]
