Meme: You Really Want to Know?



It's meme time again.
More than you ever wanted to know about yours truly.
Enjoy.

1. Have you ever been searched by the cops?

I think that might have happened a long time ago, but my memories fuzzy...

2. Do you close your eyes on roller coasters?

Of course not.

3. When's the last time you've been sleigh riding?

Can't recall ever going on a sleigh ride.

4. Would you rather sleep with someone else, or alone?

I don't much like sleeping alone, but I'm picky about who I sleep with. :)

5. Do you believe in Ghosts?

No.

6. Do you consider yourself creative?

I was once creative. Now I struggle to be creative, but I'm not so sure that I get the results I demand.

7. Do you think O.J. killed his wife?

He probably did. But tis none of my business.

8. Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie?

I think I'll pass on this one.

9. Can you honestly say you know anything about politics?

Enough to know that it's a fool's game.

10. Do you know how to play poker?

I know how to play poker but I'm not real good at the betting part, so I don't mess with it. I am, however, confounded at the immense popularity that the game currently enjoys.

11. Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight?

A few times...I don't reccomend it.

12. Do you kill bugs that are in the house?

Yep. Call me heartless, but I relish swatting flies.

13. Have you ever cheated on a test?

I probably tried to a couple of times, but those are memories that have slipped through the cracks.

14. If you driving in the middle of the night and no one is around, do you go through red lights?

Yeah...why not?

15. Do you have a secret that no one knows but you?

Yes.

16. Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees?

The Yankess have a better logo, so I'll go with them...

17. Have you ever Ice Skated?

If the question was "Have you ever ATTEMPTED to ice skate?" the answer would be 'Yes', but no, I have never "ice skated".

18. How often do you remember your dreams?

Very rarely. Sometimes a dream will stay with me for a few hours, but I eventually lose it. There are a few details that have lingered from certain dreams, but it would be much too difficult to explain them to anyone...

19. When was the last time you laughed so hard you were crying?

Just a couple of weeks ago when I caught the last 5 minutes of a particularly funny edition of Mr. Show on Comedy Central. I laughed so hard that my abdomen started to cramp and I thought I was going to die. Haven't laughed that hard since hearing Richard Pryor's "Mudbone" routine in high school.

20. Can you name 5 songs by The Beatles?

Are you kidding? I can name no fewer than 100 songs by the Beatles. How much time do you have?...

21. Can you admit that someone of the same sex is attractive?

Yes. The human body is the crowning glory of God's creation, and that goes for the male as well as the female form.

22. Do you believe in love at first sight?

I used to, but noone else seemed to so I figured I was being naive.

23. Do you know who Ba-Ba-Booey is?

The original Ba Ba Booey was somehow related to Yogi Bear (a son, perhaps?), and then there's Howard Stern's flunky who goes by that nickname...
Howard Stern...ugh.

24. Do you always wear your seatbelt?

I always wear it when going on trips out of town. If I'm just going somehwere close by I won't wear it unless I spot a cop on the horizon, at which point I'll make it look like I'm wearing one until he disappears, then I take it back off. I only wear them because I have to...the experience of paying $100 for a no-seatbelt ticket was enough to persuade me to be a safer driver and wear one...

25. What talent do you wish you had?

I wish I had the tenacity and talent to write novels. I wish I were more athletically inclined. I wish I had a better grasp of mathematics. Lots of other talents to wish for, but I prefer to be thankful for the talent I've been given instead.

26. Do you like Sushi?

Never eaten. Never will. Hate fish of any kind.

27. Have you ever narrowly avoided a fatal accident?

Yes. Car wreck in 97.

28. What do you wear to bed?

Nothing. I always sleep naked. I don't like the feel of clothing when I'm trying to settle in and get to sleep. Just the sheets, and the warmth of the body next to me...

29. Does size matter?

More than it should, less than it could...It doesn't matter TO ME, I'll say that, but then again, I'm a straight guy, so what do I care? As long as she's not complaining...

30. Do you truly hate anyone?

No, I do not.

31. Rock and Roll or Rap?

Rock and Roll...or better yst, Roll and Rock.

33. If you could sleep with one famous person, who would it be?

One that doesn't snore, cuz I can't sleep when there's snoring in the bed, and sleeping is all I'd want to do with any famous person I can think of.

34. Do you have a relative in prison?

Not that I know of.

35. Have you ever sang in front of the mirror like your favorite singer?

Used to do that all the time when I was a kid. It was marvelous preparation for the fame I sought but which eluded me.

36. Do you know how to play chess?

I know the rules but I'm terrible at it, so I don't play...

37. What food do you find disgusting?

Liver and onions (I guess I should point out that I do like onions, but not in the classic combination with liver). Potted meat product (what with all the tripe and hearts listed as ingredients). Head cheese.

38. Did you ever play, "I'll show you mine, if you show me yours?"

I played that with a babysitter when I was much too young to be playing it, and she was a cheat at it, cuz I'd show her mine but she never showed me hers. Scarred me for life, it did.

39. Have you ever made fun of your friends behind their back?

I don't think so.

40. Have you ever stood up for someone you hardly knew?

Yes.

41. Have you ever been punched in the face?

Long long time ago, probably...I don't really remember. I've been lucky to have lived such a violence-free life.

42. When is the last time you threw up from drinking too much?

1995 or 1996, after a party where I was foolish enough to mix gin, beer and marijuana. Never again, I tell you. I've probably been "throw-up drunk" maybe 10 times in my 43 years, and that's 9 times too many.

43. Have you ever walked out on a movie at the theater?

I don't think I have...but I don't go to the theater very often and when I DO go I'm pretty particular about what I will go see. I WANTED to walk out on Gothika, but I wasn't there of my own accord and the other guy I was with wanted to sit through it. Ugh, that was awful.
However, many is the time that I've spent money on a video or DVD rental,watched 10 or 15 minutes of the movie and then shut 'er down, returning it unwatched. There are so many crap movies out there and so few really worthwhile ones...

44. Do you ever sit through a bad movie, just to see how bad it can get?

It would have to be really, REALLY bad for me to do that, but yeah, I appreciate unintentional humor as much as the next guy.

45. Would you consider yourself obsessed with anything?

Probably, but I'm not sure I could tell you WHAT, so maybe that means I'm not...

46. Have you ever met someone famous that you really wanted to meet?

I've met a couple of famous people, but none that I "really wanted to meet". That list is a short one.

47. Have you ever been stood up?

Not that I can remember.

48. When's the last time you screamed at the top of your lungs?

Probably back when I was singing and gigging with my old band, King Tongue. When you scream during a song it makes 'em look up from the pool tables and acknowledge your presence on the stage.

49. Did you ever do something that you didn't want to, just to fit in?

I'm not gonna say I haven't, but I can't remember doing so.

50. Do you consider yourself "the biggest fan" of something?

I can be pretty passionate about things that interest and excite me, but there's always someone who takes it to "the next level", a level I'd never even consider, so NO, I am not anything or anyone's "biggest fan".
