Although I'm sure others have posted these as well...

That's right, another 50 questions...


1. Do you like blue cheese? So empathetically no for such a long time, that I sometimes wonder if I might now. But, no.

2. Have you ever smoked a cigarette? Yes. Most recently, six years ago this November. I was stopped on the street and asked the other day, so I have the information at my fingertips.

3. Do you own a gun? I used to be really into guns. I suppose that some marvel of mechanical ingenuity might still sway me momentarily. Other than that, I dislike them like the plague. I'm especially allergic to staring down the barrel of one - real or toy - and have been known to disarm and educate children who are entertained by pointing one at me or mine.

4. What flavor do you add to your drink at Sonic? The kind that makes Sonic stores run and hide from me. So far it's worked great, I've never seen one.

5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? No, but I used to count on them using that as an excuse for my blood pressure.

6. What do you think of hot dogs? I try not to. I do eat them, but if I think about them, they just don't taste as good. If they went away I wouldn't miss them.

7. Favorite Christmas Song? Drummer Boy. Lord of the Dance. Carol of the Bells. Many more.

8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? Chai. Not from an instant mix. I usually have coffee or nothing.

9. Can you do push ups? Yes.

10. What's your favorite meal? One prepared with passion. That sounds pretentious, but I'd rather have a burger with bacon, cheddar, and barbecue sauce done perfectly and presented perfectly than some entree (yes, I know that word doesn't mean what most restaurants thinks it means, and I use it here as an insult) that gets favored billing and top (for the place) dollar.

11. What's your favorite piece of jewelry? The celtic knot ring from Deb.

12. Favorite hobby? I wouldn't know. I do things some might count as a hobby, but I don't focus on any of them half as long as I should. I walked around a hobby store recently and said "That's cool" a lot, but nothing jumped out at me and made me purchase it. I did see a lot of things that I wanted to get for the kids, though.

13. Do you work with people who idolize you? Myself seems to idolize Me, but I could care less about the two of them.

14. Do you have A.D.D? Yes, I have several editions of it, and a couple since they dropped the "Advanced" from it.

15. What's one trait that you dislike about yourself? I dislike my ability to find more productive things to think about than what I dislike about myself. The good thing about that trait is that it kind of eats itself.

16. Middle name? Between my first name and last name.

17. Name 3 thoughts at this moment. Is this like naming variables? Do you go with thtBigThought or thtCurrentOne or thtSillyAnswersForMemes or what? Is there a naming convention? Maybe Moe, Larry, and Curly?

18. Name 3 things you bought yesterday. 1 gallon of diesel fuel. Another gallon of diesel fuel. More diesel fuel.

20. Current worry right now? Life, the universe, and everything.

21. Current hate right now? Coming up with things I hate. Hate is a waste of time, although I'll use the word even when I don't feel as strongly as the word deserves. Dislike works better for me. That's a longer list than I'd like to admit.

22. Favorite place to be? Present.

23. How did you bring in New Years? Which one? And I don't really remember taking any of them anywhere.

24. Where would you like to go? Here, there, and several points between.

25. Name three people who will complete this? Will they change their name to whatever I name them?

26. Whose answer do you want to read the most? All. Or none. Depends on my mood....

27. What color shirt are you wearing? Purple (it's the con shirt from DucKon 15, at which I was Klingon GoH).

28. Do you like sleeping on satin sheets? I wasn't all that impressed.

29. Can you whistle? Only when I'm supposed to.

30. Favorite color(s)? Purple. My daughter made up her mind on that long ago, so I don't have a choice.

31. Would you be a pirate? I'm not sure the lake has enough traffic to make it profitable. Also, the state authorities reinforce boating regulations quite actively, and I have a feeling they'd scale up to exceed any capabilities I might muster.

32. What songs do you sing in the shower? I don't have a regular setlist.

33. Favorite girl's name? Rachel.

34. Favorite boy's name? Justin and Brandon.

35. What's in your pocket right now? These shorts do have pockets. However, they're kind of permanently inside out, so I'm really not sure what the point of including them was. If anything was ever in these pockets it wouldn't be there long enough to comment about it.

36. Last thing that made you laugh? Mr. B

37. Best bed sheets as a child? A stars-and-stripes-and-anchors one. Actually, I think that was a bedspread, and not a set of sheets...

38. Worst injury you've ever had? This is something we don't discuss. We knock on wood, and then start the chainsaws and rock drills and lawnmowers and so forth and hope we never have an answer for it. But we carry a full EMT kit, and personal trauma kits. In case we get a splinter while knocking on wood.

39. Do you love where you live? Yes.

40. How many TVs do you have in your house? One. I think there might be two more, but they're in the cellar in piles of stuff for the yard sale we never have. I'm not sure they work.

41. Who is your loudest friend? Probably John.

42. How many dogs do you have? Two. Kind of goes with the definition of "biped" doesn't it? Knock on wood, re: #38.

43. Does someone have a crush on you? According to a variety of shrewd internet marketing ads I never click on, yes.

45. What is your favorite book? Yes.

46. What is your favorite candy? Razzles. (Yes, there's an actual answer for this one.)

47. What is your favorite sports team? Boston Bruins, although I haven't followed anything they've done in the last twelve years or so.

48. What song do you want played at your funeral? Fantasia Macabre, of course. The biggest issue, of course, is who will be playing the second guitar along with me. Marshall would be quickest to get things back up to speed, as he co-wrote major parts of it. And a drummer. I doubt Patt still remembers the parts he wrote, and we only did the first half. Bobby wrote parts for some of the riffs when they were in earlier forms (and other songs), so he might be able to jump in here and there. But it would be best to get those band members together so we can go through rehearsals first. Have to get [livejournal.com profile] aequitaslevitas to write the rest of his keyboard parts, and [livejournal.com profile] noone234 has to work through the rest of the bass line.

49. What were you doing at 12 AM last night? Trying to finish off some work so I could go to bed.

50. What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up this morning? Time to wake up.


If anyone wants to get a proper answer (for the ones where I answered the question asked instead of the question intended, or was otherwise being a wiseass) feel free to rephrase the question so I can attempt to answer it in an even more obtuse fashion. Or, perhaps, should it humor me, as intended.
