"You'd have a site-conquering write-off on your hands"

The Bottom Line I have now corrected the spelling of "weird". Picky....picky....picky...picky....

Update 7/2/04: When I first posted this, I had done so without answering my own questions, and shame on me for forgetting. I've had several requests to respond to my own nonsense, so my answers have been added in italics
Ok, here we are...if you're like me, you've seen enough survey write-offs lately than you've ever seen ever want to see, or will ever see again. Not to in any way denigrate or disrespect the people who have hosted these little questionnaires; I've participated in a couple myself, and and there's no harm in them, I just am casting about to find a little more variety and creative work again in what people submit. They were amusing for a while, but I stopped participating in them, because, frankly, I was beginning to bore myself with my own answers. I'm actually kind of a dull guy.

So perhaps then,since these surveys seem to be breeding like flies, another view is in order, something along the lines of what our illustrious compadre mfunk75 once offered, but with my own "hughish" spin. In fact, this particular offering was his idea, including the title, which is a quote taken from a comment he left me in the comments section of a different item I've produced in one of the moments when my brain actually bubbles out something semi-coherent.
So, here it is, Getting To Know You Through The Filter Of Hugh: and don't expect to take it or me seriously...you might hurt yourself. Participants include a link in the comment section please, or email me...my email address is available on my profile page. Please incluse "Filter of Hugh" in the subject line, or I'm not likely to know who you are or what you're sending me, and it will be fed to alligators unread.
Onward!

1) Who do you think you are?
Sometimes I think I'm Napoleon Bonaparte...other days, I think I'm a fluffy little bunny...it depends on the day, and whether or not I've taken my prescription medication. My wife just rolls her eyes when she sees me hopping around.

2) What does it mean when you say "I'm not myself today"; Who are you then?
Perhaps I'm you...heheheh

3) Can you burp the entire English Alphabet?
Some days I'm lucky if I can remember all of the letters....drat that Mike's Hard Lemonade...

4) Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?
Maybe because a bra covers only the upper front portion of the female anatomy, whereas the panties cover both front and rear? Still wondering....

5) What are you wearing right now?
a white canvas jacket with leather stra...oh...ah...never mind.

6) What's for dinner tonight?
It's a buffet...come early, and bring contributions.

7) What happens if you put the "This side up" side face down while popping microwave popcorn?
I'd tell you, but then I's have to kill you.

8) Have you ever snooped in somebody else's medicine cabinet?
Under the advice of counsel, I can not reply...I wasn't even there...and if I was, I was sleeping.

9) If you don't pay your exorcist, do you get repossessed?
Not only that, but the collections agents use water that is less than holy

10) How much lint do you usually find in your navel?
I'm scared to look

11) If you had a metal plate in your head, would you worry about rusting?
I think it would be more fun to just get little mallets and just tinkle a little tune on my head.

12)Can you blow up a balloon under water?
Just don't inhale through your nose while attempting this.

13) You're not going to eat THAT, are you?
munch...munch..munch...(gulp)...eat what?

14) If you were on an airplane, and said Hi to a friend whose name is Jack, what would happen to you?
I'm not allowed on airplanes anymore

15) Have you ever called someone on the phone, and just as they answered, you realize you forgot who you are calling?
Not only that, but the person didn't recognize my voice, and neither of us knew why I called.

16) How old were you when you learned to tie your shoes?
Tie? Mine are slip-on...I also have some with Velcro

17) Do you ever find your nose whistling when you're at an extremely formal dinner?
Just once, but it was no big deal...the rest of the wedding party joined in and we whistled a merry rendition of "I Say a Little Prayer For You" by Dionne Warwick together

18) Don't you find it weird that we teach our kids the rhyme "Rub a dub dub, three men in a tub"?
I'm still having Fun With Dick and Jane.

19) Can you burp and fart at the same time?
wouldn't that just sort of compact your internal organs into something resembling an accordion?

20) What are those little things on the end of your shoelaces called?
According to Tom Cruise in the movie "Cocktail", they are Fluegelbinders.
