Ask PG: What should I have for lunch?

PG seems to have become a gnomic magic 8 ball of sorts. I can only hope for his sake that he's built Eliza-like behavior into HN such that his responses to all "Ask PG" questions are fully automated.

A glass of prune juice or a nice marshmallow salad.

When we were going to say hi to you on the pre-Startup School dinner, we were joking that we should corner you and ask ALL the questions we have, existential or otherwise ("why am I here", "what is the meaning of life", "what is the best color" etc) :-)

we invited you; it's a mistaken metaphor; ff6600

That's always been my favorite color. I feel so validated.

I so want my own site where people worship me. Now all I have is a site where I worship me.

It is the next best thing though.

That's why you should create an alter ego who thinks Matt Maroon is so great he makes a fan site.

It would be hilarious if all Ask PGs just got the reply "make something people want."

Come on, he wouldn't just hard-code his mini-me!

I wonder who submitted the first "Ask YC" and "Ask PG" posts?

Ask.

Why do you hope for his sake he's built Eliza-like behavior into HN such that his responses to all "Ask PG" questions are fully automated?

When did you first know that you hope for his sake he's built Eliza-like behavior into HN such that his responses to all "Ask PG" questions are fully automated?

That's strange, because PG looks less gnomic now than in years past. (To be fair, some may have thought he once looked wizardish, not gnomic.)

I vote for tuna sandwich.
