What is Know your Gurus, you may ask?

It's simple, twice a week, a different person will be in the spotlight. When that person is in the spotlight, you can ask them

ANYTHING YOU WANT, even non-gaming questions!*

Spoiler

*You cannot ask any question that violates Guru's T.O.S.  Questions involving religion, politics, sex, age, real-life race, or any other thing that violates Guru's T.O.S. will be deleted.

After that person's turn, their KYG thread will be locked and a new one will be started, with a different person. That means that if you don't get to ask your question in the 3-4 days the member is in the spotlight, you'll have to....... well, find some other way to ask them.

What's the point of this segment, you may wonder? To put it simply, to get to know each other better. Feel free to ask crazy or unusual questions. Heck, ask complete nonsense questions (Why did the brick build a cheeseburger?) if you want, just to see their response.

Please note that just because you ask a question, it doesn't mean that the person in the spotlight has to answer it, but they DO need to reply to it, so expect something, even if it's just a "I will not answer that". Despite this restriction,

you can ask as many questions as you want, but try to keep them in only one post.

Keep in mind that others have questions to ask too, so don't go too overboard on the number. Keeping it short of a dozen is just common politeness.

Also important, you may not get into dicussions with other members than the spotlight member. This segment is only to get whoever is in the spotlight to be more well know. If you're wanting to ask someone else something, you'll either have to wait for their own spotlight, or ask some other way.

I'll take a stab at his answer.

"AH MAH GAWD! YES! \o\"

[Neo Nugget]

"How long does it usually take you to brush your teeth?"

One minute and 45 seconds. I know it's supposed to be two minutes, but leaving the last 15 seconds off makes me feel all kinds of rebellious.

What kind of Nugget are you? A new one?

Technically one from The Matrix.

What came first, chicken or egg?

The quaggan.

If I would challenge you to a test of skill, power and manliness, would you accept?

Depends on what day of the week the challenge falls on.

Favorite combo items at Chino Bandido?

P.S.  Snickerdoodle or the Chocolate cookie?

Khalija has always seemed to be the more CEO/Manager of the two admins (no offense intended!). Was Khalija Admin before you were?
How did you get to be one, in either case?

Don't know why, but I've wondered that since I joined, with the two admins on this site having such seemingly different personalities.

[pumpkin pie]

Coo, neo nugget,

Under a chaotic situation, think, apocalyptic, roof crashing down, neighbors shouting in panic, car screeches, dogs barking etc and you are force to leave home, what is the one thing you would grab and take with you?

If you can have a dragon of your choice to train! which one would it be?

Yeah, Khalija has been admin for a few years now, and I'm coming up on my 6th or 7th month. I've been a moderator on guru 1/2 for yeeeaaars though. If I remember correctly since September 2007-ish (obviously guru2 since August '09). We had another admin around before me, but when she left I suppose there needed to be a replacement eventually.

As far as the personalities go, don't opposites go hand in hand?

Coo, Pump ^^

Assuming I was home alone, probably my cell phone if it wasn't already in my pocket. Then I would be able to alert the authorities!

Also, Night Fury, for sure

I was gonna ask when you transformed into an admin but you already answered that.

Hmm. Where will you be when the world ends this friday? Also how long does it take you to do a #2?
