The Bottom Line This is my first venture outside the realm of product reviews on Epinions. But what the heck, it's almost New Years.

Oh well..here are the questions.. --------------------------------------------------- Questions -Birth date: 4-Mar-52 -Height: 6'2" -Eye color: Brown -Hair color: Grayish Brown -What does your name mean: A Scottish Person (I am Irish, actually) -High school graduation year: 1970 -Favorite relatives: My Wife, Deb, and my two daughters, Emily and Elizabeth -Summer memory: Tooele Utah -- 1962 Marilyn Monroe was found dead in some bungalow and I helped put out a field of wheat set afire by lightning. -Favorite TV shows: Queer Eye for the Straight Guy -- the funniest show on TV -What's on your mousepad: I mostly use a laptop when I post here -- it's got a trackpad -In the car- ac or windows: AC -- I live in the Mojave Desert -Do you believe In yourself: More than I should, I reckon -Favorite game: If you would call golf a game then that's my favorite. Blackjack and 3 card poker are fun on occasion.

Just not my idea of a good time. -How many rings before you answer the phone: As soon as the caller-id kicks in and lets me know who's on the other end.

My hair looked like Jude Law's in "A.I." -If you could have a tattoo, What and Where would it be: I despise tattoos. If I get sick of a painting, I just take it off the wall. I see no need to have to consult a dermatologist everytime my tastes in art change. One thing is for sure, I would not want my 18yr-old self making artistic decisions for my 52yr-old brain. Tastes change, why commit yourself to any piece of art for a lifetime? -Favorite brand of gum: Original Beemans and Blackjack -What is your Favorite quote "It's easy to pretend you don't care when you don't." - My sardonic wife said that and it is still my favorite quote.

There's a bunch more, but those are my favorites. -is the glass half-empty or half-full: Half-full, definitely! -Which Do you prefer- cool Ranch or Nacho Cheese Doritos: I have to be really hungry to eat either of those, I am afraid. -Favorite flavor Snapple I would just as soon pour some sugar in water and drink it, really. -Which one, Coke or Pepsi Pepsi, but I really can't tell the difference too much. -Which kind of milk is your Favorite Whole milk and buttermilk (yeah, I love buttermilk, especially with fresh pepper on top.) -If you were to kill someone, Which method would you use? Who says I haven't!! Just kidding, I doubt I will ever kill anyone, but if I had to, I suppose I would shoot them. -Are you a righty, lefty, or ambidextrous: Right. I am extremely right-handed. -Do you type with your fingers on the right keys: Yes. I learned in High School, one of the few useful skills I picked up in four long years. -when you meet a person of the opposite sex, you notice: Face and breasts immediately. -What's under your bed: Slippers. -What's the best number in the World: Avogadro's Number - 6.023X10-23 I once wrote a poem about it for my oldest daughter. If I can get her to dig it up for me, I will print it in an update. -What is your dream car: They're all old ones, I am afraid. A Porsche 904, Jaguar XK-150, Mercedes 300SL Roadster -who is your biggest crush right now: Nigella Lawson on the Style Network. She is way hot! -Nickname "Boch" after Bruce Bochy, coach of the San Diego Padres -school: None now. -Bacon Bits or croutons Bacon, either the real thing or Bacos, which I really like on salads. -Favorite Salad Dressing: Roquefort. I have to make my own. -Do you drink: Yes, and I suggest moderation or abstinence as suitable alternatives. -What type of Shampoo/Conditioner: I hate conditioner. I like shampoo that doesn't smell funky and is cheap. VO5 is 99cents a bottle and rocks in both regards. -have you ever been skinny dipping: Yes, and the beach cleared out quick! -Do you make fun of people: Only gently with my friends and loved ones. I am merciless with frauds and charlatans. -have you ever been convicted of a crime: Speeding is about the only thing. -one pillow or two: Two. Big, fat ones. -Pets: 2 dogs.

The only guys I pay for poking holes in me had to go to med school first. -Do you get along with your parents: The question should be, do they get along with me. Actually, my Father is dead now, but he was great when I saw him. My Mother and I get along fine, but we'd better because she lives with me and I can always toss her out on her can if she bugs me. -Favorite beer: Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout is a remarkable beer, probably the best of its type, but there are too many great beers to just have one favorite. Pilsner Urquell, Steinlager, Rolling Rock, Sierra Nevada, Guinness, all make great beers. It sort of depends on the weather which one I will choose, but they are all great in their own way. -Favorite song at the moment: "Down From Iona" by the Waybacks (Album "Burger After Church") -Most humiliating moment: 6th Grade -- I locked up in the middle of a spelling bee on the main stage and could not spell the word "within". -Favorite Holiday: Christmas is my favorite, too, Sarah! Hope you had a nice one!  |
