Have you ever played 21 Questions?

22JAN2021; 1410, FRI

Considering that yesterday was the 21st day of the 21st year in the 21st century, I figure that now is as good a time as any to share the "official" list of the 21 Questions game. Also, I can't seem to find this list, nor the hints that accompanied it, upon my discovery of the list, anywhere else on the internet. I'll likely include an extra twenty-one icebreakers that I've personally acquired over the years.

These questions are meant to be a sort of parlance, I believe. Maybe you and yours will take turns answering them first, or the most feminine person playing the dating game will go first. Either way, I pray that you enjoy and grow closer in a constructive manner.

I don't remember where or how I found it, but without further ado, The "Official" list of 21 Questions (along with the hints that I found with it upon initial discovery):

1.) Top two fav colors? [Because one is boring.]

2.) Fav food group? [(Based on the old school food pyramid) Meats means more likely than not they are aggressive; grains mean traditional; fruits mean tangy; and veggies are an indication of jaundice from carrots, as well as potentially being a Star Wars fan.]

3.) Fav basic academic subject?

4.) Fav book? [If they do not have one, then run!]

5.) Top 3 fav films?

6.) What is your OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)?

7.) Have you ever been convicted of a felony?

8.) What is the one physical feature you would change about yourself? [If they have a list, do not take them seriously.]

9.) Mac or PC?

10.) How well do you get along with your parents? [This is an excellent gauge to see if they are bringing as much (emotional) baggage as you are.]

11.) If you could have one supernatural power, what would it be? [Invisibility means they are a creeper.]

12.) How do you eat a Reece's Cup? [For example, like a sandwich, or the outside first.]

13.) Do you prefer cats or dogs?

14.) What is the thread count on your sheets? [Ladies, if a guy answers, "One thousand, girlfriend!" He may be playing for the other team.]

15.) How many partners have you had? [This is the big one. No worries because there are still six more questions.]

16.) Most embarrassing moment?

17.) Black, blue, or brown?

18.) What genre of music can you not stand? [As long as it is not your fav, then you two are compatible.]

19.) Sun or moon?

20.) Fav continent? [Europe means they are traditional, while Asia is a sign that they can tell the difference between Japanese and Chinese people.]

21.) How do you like your steak prepared? [As long as it is not well done, you are in the clear.]

***

And now for my personal list, in no particular order (with minimal hints):

1.) What are some of your interests?

2.) Where did you grow up?

3.) If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?

4.) What is your fav food? (Not just cuisines. Actual dishes/apps/deserts. For ex., baleadas; mac & cheese; banana pudding; etc.)

5.) If you could have any job, what would it be?

6.) *What has life been teaching you?*

7.) Reading anything these days?

8.) Heard any new albums lately?

9.) Seen any decent movies recently?

10.) What is your fav meal to prepare? (What would you order for the Sirs & Dames to potentially try/enjoy at the round table immediately after receiving your Knighthood/Damehood?)

11.) What is the meaning of life?

12.) If you could have dinner with any six people, dead or alive, who would it be?

13.) What does Love mean to you?

14.) What does Freedom mean to you?

15.) Three wishes from a genie. [Aladdin rules—no death, Love, or extra wishes.]

16.) Top five, dead or alive (musical artists). [Bonus points if they are all in the Hip Hop genre.]

17.) Describe yourself in three words.

18.) Fav dad joke?

19.) "What's your flava?" (Or flavor; specifically when pouring up troubles.) [That is to say your fav alcoholic beverage.]

20.) "What does your soul look like?"- DJ Shadow ('96).

21.) Best dating advice ever?

Love or hate the above icebreakers, may they help you and yours to bond better during this worldwide lockdown and what have you. Peaceful tidings.

Edit: This piece was previously posted a few months prior with a different random question in place of the DJ Shadow one that I somehow forgot on the original submission. Been meaning to make this edit for about a week now.

If the curiosity is killing you in regards to the old query, and/or you have another burning question, please, "slide in my DM's," on "sosh meeds". I can usually be found @DarriusUnity.

Peace for now. Stay blessed (and free)!
