- What is the most annoying TV ad? the insurance ads with that woman. I would rather live with no insurance for the rest of my days than put one cent in the pockets of the cretins who thought that was a good idea.
- If you died, how would you hope others would remember you? can't control the 'how'. If you're living right, then you influence the 'whether'.
- Name 2 questions that you will most likely never say 'no' to:
1. "Come to lunch with me?"
2. "Don't you think you should wait to buy those shoes?" - What is the softest part of your body? soft as in squishy or soft as in silky? Either way, this is probably not the forum for such discussion!
- What family do you want to see in place of the Osbournes when they finally stop doing their show? any family that would be worth watching, because they're not a godawful train wreck, (a) wouldn't get a contract, (b) wouldn't want to be on TV, and (c) would be boring as Hell to watch anyway. And more power to 'em. Case in point of what I keep saying: REALITY TELEVISION IS STUPID.
- If you could pick 3 bands to go on tour together who would they be? the three bands that I'd like to see tour together, do
- What is a main difference between Western and Eastern philosophy? pretense
- Do you believe Michael Jackson does inappropriate things at his Neverland Ranch? Like what? not anymore!
- What do you think of Gov. Ryan, who cleared out Illinois' death row? the idea is sound, but--as with so many things in my former home state--the application was FUBAR. When you're going to do one of those big cleaning-house money-saving deals, you don't start at the bottom of the shit-pile, where all the attention is focused and all the victims and families are still lined up to take you down. You start at the top, with the least-offensive offenders, those with milliseconds left on their sentences, those whose crimes are the least likely (scientifically speaking) to be repeated in a manner that will come back and burn your own political butt.
- Would you want a $500 gift certificate to:
* Kmart or Target? Target, please - * Macy's or Hot Topic? Hot Topic, if only because I know a certain 17-year-old who would probably wring my neck with joy to get it away from me
- * Borders Books or Spencer Gifts? Borders, duh
- * Victoria's Secret or Frederick's of Hollywood? either one. It would take about 15 minutes in FoH to spend $500, and it would be both hilarious and fun. On the other hand, $500 at VS would be very worthwhile. Hmm....
- Man vs Elephant. A zookeeper was treating a constipated elephant. He gave her too much laxative. Suddenly everything exploded out onto the zookeeper. He was knocked to the ground where he hit his head on a rock and got knocked out. There he suffocated under a pile of elephant dung. True story. Is it a funny story? If yes, what is funny about it? Why is it so taboo to laugh at death? it's just stupid. No zookeeper would be foolish enough to be that unsure of the dosage, and also to plant himself directly in the line of fire. It's not funny because it's. Just. Not. Funny.
- What are your favorite ten things from this list: alternate realities, animals, astronomy, birds, Camus, cats, Cheap Trick, cocaine, cooking, costumes, dancing, Elvis, gambling, Greta Garbo, James Dean, Jeff Buckley, Joy Division, Marilyn Monroe, mixed drinks, Moody Blues, Morrissey, Mozart, My Bloody Valentine, Orbital, pizza, playing flute, Prince, Radiohead, Rummy 500, Scrabble, table tennis, talk talk, Van Morrison, writing cats, cooking, gambling, mixed drinks, pizza, Prince, Radiohead, Scrabble, Table Tennis, and writing
- Do you have to read lots to be able to write well? definitely. And I get the idea that whomever wrote this set of questions isn't much of a reader.
- Vanilla ice. Everyone loved him, suddenly everyone hated him. What was the deal?? he's always been kind of a poseur
- If you could kick one person out of the Grammies who would it be (Avril, Eminem, etc)? eh. My taste in music is a little weird. I probably shouldn't be the judge.
- Studies have revealed that when sending out a resume a person has a 50% higher chance of getting a response if their name is white-sounding than if it is black-sounding. What do you think about this? Why do companies respond this way? "Racism Exists! Film at 11."
- What are you addicted to? peanut butter, hand lotion, and attention
- What fascinates you? trouble
- What is fascinating about you? God knows. Maybe the same answer as above.
- Personality-wise, is anything the same for all human beings and if so, what? no. Obviously. Otherwise it wouldn't be considered "personality".
- What kind of a contest would you have a shot at winning? sarcasm
- You see a dirty punk kid who had a giant cowboy hat on who is rolling his own cigarettes. Your impression? "I probably dated one of his older relatives"
- What would you never want to have more than 2 of? left feet
- Is there a movie you just could not finish watching? What and why? All Hat. It's this weird Canadian sort of horse/redemption thing. I don't know. It was awful.
- Is there anyone that you love and want to be around for no explainable reason? is there "an explainable reason" for most affection?
- Would you go to Times Square for New Years? nope. I read an article in Popular Mechanics about the challenges of security for it since 9/11, which gave me nightmares. It seems--like so many huge events in American culture--to be a disaster waiting to happen.
- Do you think that there are too many signs blocking up the scenery? too many signs, too many wires, and way way way too many lights blocking out the stars
- Did video really kill the radio star? it seemed like it at first, but I can't imagine that anyone cares all that much about "video" per se anymore
- What was your favorite Atari game? Pac-Man, as I think I answered maybe one or two sections ago. Quality control slips as the survey goes on...
- What is your favorite neon color? oh, I'd think it would be pretty apparent that I love them all equally!
