Given all the folks in interesting professions, have we ever done a reddit style AMA thread?

I think that happens here every day.
Though, I must admit, I don't know what the reddit style version of this really is.

Here is a GRM classic of "Ask me anything"

I need 50ml of Horse Blood and 50ml of Sheep blood by Monday .

Does anybody know someone in the business of supplying blood to labs (affiliated with academic institutions) who can speed the process up? What about a blood letting on a non-standard day?

If you have info that could help me get the blood by monday, shoot me a PM. What I'm hoping is that somebody here can give me contact info....

Same day answers included:
No lie, I am serious, all I have in the fridge is Human, Mouse, Rat, Rabbit, Lama.

The result was this reply:
...you guys came through. GRM members gave me two solid leads (other blood vendors), and there were several good ideas in this thread. If I didn't have it resolved by noon, I was going to start with calling a friend who used to work in the vet college at UF (an idea from here). If that didn't work, I was going to start groveling to area veternarians. (again an idea from here.)

I could easily get 50 ml of most types of animal blood in as long as it would take to drive to my sisters' house.

My question is why someone would need such a thing? Satanic ritual or weird fetish?

Makes me wonder what other ridiculous E36 M3 GRM could supply on short notice...

He pops in occasionally. Last time he did I think he said he hasn't made any real progress with the car.

I understand the GRM staff all wear drawstring pants, why is that?

if i had a desk job and a Moe's 3 miles away from the office, i'd need drawstring pants too. plus, i assume there are times when JG runs around the office bottomless, and drawstrings are easier to drop than a belt and button/zipper.

With nail polish?

I'm filled with aircraft knowledge. I freaked out some pilots when I was 4 at Palwaukee by naming every airplane on the pad. Got me a trip to their Cessnas's cockpit.
