The Bottom Line Hmmmmmmm.................

I'm a sucker for a personal invitation, especially when I'm invited to things that are uber-simple. Keep that in mind.


This is another write-off with the aim of delivering some insight into the personalities (or pseudo-personalities) of Epinioners everywhere. This one is being hosted by sarahlovesadam. Learn the story here......

The story here is a bunch of questions that I'm supposed to answer, so here goes........








Birth date: March 27, 1971

-Height: 6'4"

-Eye color: Blue. Grey. Slightly Greenish. Depending on what I’m wearing. (My wife came up with that answer)

-Hair color: Brown going on invisible.

-What does your name mean: There’s too much philosophy in my background to get started on this question in this limited format and/or I don’t know.

-High school graduation year: 1989

-Favorite relatives: worth, speed, and disgruntlement.

-Summer memory: All my summer memories include, “Oh my God, I’m Hot!!!”. Take your pick.

-Favorite TV shows: Coupling (the original, not that Americanized mess), Father Ted, The Office, The Mole (I figure I have to pick at least one reality show), Friends, The Prisoner, Fawlty Towers.

-What's on your mousepad: I have a trackball.

-In the car- ac or windows: I used to live in Phoenix, where this question would be laughably absurd, and I now live in Bangor, where this question is laughably absurd.

-Do you believe in yourself: Might as well ask me what my name means. I know some believing in me is going on, and the only way I could know that is if it was me doing it.

-Favorite game: Chess, and I’m not just being pretentious.

-Favorite drink: My own special vodka martini. Here’s how you make it. Put ice in shaker. Pour a shot of vermouth in shaker and swirl it around. Fill a different shaker with ice and vodka. Set these two shakers next to each other for about twenty seconds, but no more than thirty. Throw out vermouth shaker. Pour contents of vodka shaker into martini glass. If limes are in the room during the construction of this drink, that’s all to the good, but that’s as far as it goes. This time I am actually just being pretentious.

-Favorite food: Anything edible that my son finds disgusting. Thus, I can eat without having to be pointed at while listening to, “YES!! PEEAASE!!!!”

-Favorite colors: Green.

-Do you eat stems of broccoli: I’m not even sure what that means. I eat broccoli.

-Guys- If a girl ever asked you for the shirt on your back,
would you give it to her? I think she’s supposed to ask for the shirt off my back, but my answer is no. I can’t imagine any reasonable situation wherein she would want it.

-Girls- Would you ever ask a guy for his shirt? ...................

-If you could have any occupation when you get older, what
would it be: Well, God obviously. Any other choice would be nonsense, because I could have that too. I’d be God.

-If you could have a tattoo, what and where would it be: Again with the ‘could’.
