The Bottom Line I sincerely recommend you avoid this article and find something more interesting, like Mobiprof's recent posting.
Prelude99 thought that 20 things weren’t enough, so he decided to add 16 more. He even had the courtesy to help us along with a list of questions. Here’s my go at it: 1. How long have you been a member of Epinions? My profile page tells me I have been a member since Sep 22 '02, although in many ways it seems longer than that. 2. What do you do for a living? I am a health care consultant, specializing in the areas of marketing and administration. That means I get to charge organizations lots of money for information they could have had for free, if they had just thought to ask their own staff. 3. Favorite food? Anything with scales, fins, shells, wings or four legs. Preferably dead and cooked (except for sushi which I prefer raw). Sorry vegans. That stuff you eat isn’t food. It’s what food eats. 4. Most embarrassing moment? Well see, I was only 10 years old or so. What did I know? I was at the doctor’s office having a physical exam or something, when the nurse handed me what looked like a milk bottle and told me to go into the bathroom and provide a specimen. Now, I was clever enough to realize what a specimen was. I was not clever enough to figure out just how I was supposed to get the specimen into that milk bottle. No one had ever said to me, “Now hold the bottle with one hand and hold your little twanger with the other.” They should have, because instead, I carefully placed the milk bottle on the floor, stood up straight, and took careful aim, shooting from the hip (so to speak). Sadly, I was no deadeye “dick,” with more of the specimen landing on the floor than in the milk bottle. Naturally, I never confessed. 5. What are your favorite topics to write about on Epinions? Nothing in particular. I hang at the Writer’s Corner and stick my head out every so often with whatever comes to mind at the time. 6. Name a few things that you can’t stand whatsoever: Broccoli, asparagus, lima beans . . . 7. Hobbies? I enjoy reading underwear reviews on Epinions. Outside of that—fishing, golf, reading, cooking and selling single cigarettes to small children. 8. What kind of car do you drive? What color is it? 2002 Saturn. Silver, I think. Cars are and always have been nothing more than transportation to me. I see no point in spending on a car what could buy you a small condo. 9. Worst time you got into trouble when you were a kid? I don’t think it was the time I got caught shoplifting candy from the local drugstore. It was probably that time I got arrested by the railroad cops for trespassing. Youth Court, scolding by the Judge. The whole nine yards. What a Master Criminal I was. 10. Have you ever been on TV? If so, what for? Back in 1960 (yes kids, 1960) I was on public TV discussing the cat skeleton I had put together as a school science project. (An easy project, really. Just scrape off all the cat that isn’t bone and you’re done). Back then, one needed a converter to pick up the public station in my city. Neither my parents nor any of the neighbors had a converter, and of course videotape was also unknown at that time so nothing was saved for posterity. I’m pretty sure that the viewership of that program was less than 10 people in the whole city. 11. What kind of music do you like to listen to? 40s, 50s some 60s—especially folk, Motown and blues. I love Ray Charles, Dinah Washington, Judy Garland, Janis, Aretha, the Temptations and so many more. 12. What CD would your friends be surprised that you own? I don’t know. Maybe the several AOL CD’s I use for coasters? 13. Shoes or sandals? Whips, chains and midgets. 14. Where do you buy most of your clothes? I get the boxers from Old Navy. The other stuff I get wherever. 15. Have you ever met any famous people? If so, who? I met Liquored once, but I’m not sure he qualifies. Nah. I’m not into fame or celebrity 16. What are your favorite TV shows? I seldom watch TV. When I do, it’s usually the History Channel (except for that idiot Drill Sergeant) or the Food Channel (except for that idiot Emeril).
