ignorance


do you think you make a good friend? Why or why not?

fuckin' eh..........i got lots of friends.

i'll damn near talk to anyone..........

*awaits splck's response*



pj's to bed or Au natural?

In the summer it is au naturel... in the winter it is pjs and lots and lots of blankets...


What's love got to do with?

I suppose to the jaded, the tired, and those who drive only the hard roads through life, love is but a second-hand emotion. Otherwise, it's a good way to write books and songs.

Where do you putter about?

i got 2 acres here..and i try and touch a piece of it all...everyday.


outside is where i putter about.


9 iron or wedge from 100 yards out?

I would have to use a 9-iron. I just can't get my wedge that sort of distance yet. I might even be tempted to use an 8-iron but I try to ignore that voice because it usually ends up in the sand beyond the green...


What kind of shoes are you wearing today?

What Olympic event do you think you would be great at?

Even though I'm totally afraid of heights, I would like to try ski jumping. Not the acrobatic stuff, just for distance, a la "eddie the eagle"



Are you afraid of heights?

terrified of them... irrationally afraid of them...

my last apartment, I was completely unable to stand on my kitchen chair to change a lightbulb.. I ratiionally knew that i was only 2 feet off the ground - but when i stood on the chair - i couldn't let go - it felt like i was on a tight rope about to plummet 30 feet to my death...

(but up until my current job, I always worked in high rises, and always had a window .... never bothered me as long as I could hold on to somehting)


Clowns is another irrational phobia of mine - long before the book It came out -- what's your feeling on clowns?

I've never felt a clown. Never really considered them farceurs of interest or terror.


Do you think we'll have another attack similar to 9/11? Where?

Yes, yes I do.

When 9/11 happened, they attacked a few things, right?
WTC = Economic
Pentagon = Military
Capitol Building = Political

What is missing here, as a terrorist? Two things: Culture and Religion.

Therefore, I think the next attack will be at a Hollywood award show, or the Superbowl, or the World Series. Somewhere the American people identify with their social fabric.

Religion is a tough one. I don't see there being a single "Religious" place in the US, and instead there will have to be several coordinated attacks.

The airline industry took a bad hit, and I think that terrorists are learning how to drive 18-wheelers instead of learning how to fly. You can pack a lot of bad stuff into a 53' trailer. How many trucks are on the road? Get 30 people coordinating stuff in 30 different cities, and you have a bad event.



If you could "Invade" anyplace, where would it be? What would you call your new country?

I'd invade a small island in the South Pacific and call it the nation of Charlatan.

Clothing would be optional.



How far would you go to get what you want?

i don't even have the energy to walk across the hall to get a cup of coffee...


What do you really want right now?

A new job, and a frozen snickers.


What defines quiet desperation?

A mime having to steal bread to feed his family.

What's your dream vehicle?

Red Acura NSX.

How is your health these days?

Quiet desperation is best defined by a parent at the bedside of a critically ill child, not knowing where to turn for answers, or not liking the answers received, while trying not to scream aloud.

What do you know now that you wished you'd known three years ago?

what a joke university is.


What song that you liked as a younger person have you recently re-discovered and still like?

any led zeppelin......

my son has just started playin bass guitar to alot of that and ac/dc.........

really diggin' that too i might add.


favorite vacation spot?

Laguna Beach, Florida



again...favorite vacation spot?

Nantucket


Ever swallow the worm?

Yes, and everything kind of went fuzzy after that.

Good times.

If surrounded by a gang of ninjas, and you are unarmed, what should be your first action?

Smile and flash my boobs? :D

What are you listening to right now?

(sorry I was distracted by Mal's boobs)


Ahem.

I am listening to my co-workers pitch ideas for programming at each other... they are loud.


What is covering your butt right now?

Listening to:
Money for nothing, by Dire Straits.

Inspired to put it on the playlist from that "First album" thread.

What is covering my butt? A good buddy of mine, who said yesterday "If it fucks up, I'll take the blame. If it works, you get the credit. What do you have to lose?" So I did it. And I am getting the credit.
Nice to have buddies that believe in you, and your work...


Favorite alcohol drink of all time? (Name the brand, if appropriate)

Favorite coffee of all time?

Vodka gimlet

Flavia Hazlenut

Is time on your side?

Yes I'm only improving with each passing day, like a damn good bottle of bourbon. ;)

If you could invite 5 people to dinner (living or deceased) who would it be?

Albert Einstein, Oscar Wilde, William Shakespear, Jesus, Alexander the Great.

Why do you think women change their hair color?

Because they're looking for a color I like (that's my ego talking). Or, because they can :)

What's your earliest memory?

Having my first Coke at the age of three while moving into our house in San Jose.

I wanted more more more more.


What's your favorite stage show?

Camelot... I have always loved that show

When's the last time you went to the theater - what did you see

I went to the Alabama Shakespeare Festival last month and saw The Bird Sanctuary with Hayley Mills.


What is your favorite Hitchcock film?

Vertigo.

Hitchcock is the shiznit.

When you grow up, what do you want to be?

On days like these, I get envious when I see professional gardeners starting their tasks. That, or an NPS ranger at the OBX.

What's the biggest fish you've ever caught?

13 pound walleye
22 1/2 pound pike
19 pound arctic char

Some real monsters, but mostly I like the fight a 7 pound pike gives you on a 5 pound line...

If you had to recommend colognes, what one would you recommend?

On men, i like citrissy scents... they tend to smell clean- -I'm not sure i have a specific name..
On me, i like citrus as well, I'm not a flowery type.. I just can't pull that off... but other women, I like soft scents...

on either gender... the smell should not be overpoweing, it should not enter a room before them, and you should be pretty close to being in ther personal space (invited) before you can smell them...

Can we add a twist to this thread, whatever question you ask next, you have to answer yourself, first.

I looooove cinnamon (even though I can't spell it) What is you favorite, non perfume, scent?

I love the smell of my wife. She smells familiar and of home.

Do you have any tattoos? (I don't have any but want one).

I have three Tattoos.

Shamrock on my right shoulderblade, Maple leaf on my left. Heart on my left shoulder. I want more. I think I'll get some more done very soon.

I am a medium rare steak kind of guy. How do you like your steak cooked?

I like it medium. Pink, but not bloody. I LOVE steak. Maybe I'll have steak tonight... mmmm, steak....

Do you suffer from gas frequently? The last two days I have been amazed at the air my body can produce. :D
