Free Content and Time Wasted
It's been a while since I've done one of these, so long that it doesn't seem to come up in a search of the archives. For that reason, I'll go ahead and blow twenty minutes or so on this nonsense:
1) Are you in a relationship with somebody? Not the kind you're thinking of.
2) Do you hate more than 3 people? Absolutely, but it would take some thought to name the top three. Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Vladimir Putin, Osama Bin Laden come quickly to mind.
3) How many houses have you lived in? Owned just the one, but let's see: I rented two apartments, a house, and lived in a dorm room since leaving the nest, and three different houses in as many states before then.
4) Favorite candy bar? Snickers
5) Favorite shoes? Hard to say, I've got two pairs: some Docs and Reefs, plus my old football shoes for mowing and playing softball.
6) Have you ever tripped someone? Yes, I was a defenseman.
7) Least favorite school subject? Psychology.
9) Do you own a Britney Spears CD? Of course not.
10) Have you ever thrown up in public? Yes. I climbed up a tree once because I was too drunk to be social. One of my friends found me and passed up a glass of wine. One sip later and I puked out of the tree. Classic. Classy.
11) Name one thing that is always on your mind. My research.
12) Favorite genre of music? Don't have one.
13) What is your zodiac sign? Sagittarius
14) What time were you born? 2100ish
15) Do you like beer? With gusto.
16) Ever made a prank phone call? In elementary school to friends and as an undergraduate to call centers for ridiculous products sold on late-night informercials.
17) What is the most embarrassing CD you own? That first John Mayer record. "Why, Georgia" is a good driving-through-the-country song, though.
18) Are you sarcastic? Me? Nooooo.
19) What are your favorite colors? Cardinal red, Blue n' Orange, and charcoal grey.
20) How many watches do you own? I've got a pocket watch sitting on the desk in my home office. There's a wristwatch somewhere.
21) Summer or winter? Summer. Preferred winter as a kid, though. Too poor to enjoy winter now.
23) Favorite color to wear? Charcoal. Cardinal red in October.
24) Pepsi or Sprite? Pepsi.
25) What color is your cell phone? Grey.
26) Where is your second home? My office, I guess. St. Louis, when I can get down there.

28) Have you ever had a cavity? Yes, just spent a ton of money filling some.

39) Do you own something from Hot Topic? I don't know what that is. I think I hope not.
40) Favorite breakfast meal? Grilled pork steaks and scrambled eggs for the crew before Saturday's football game at Memorial Stadium. That was pretty good. Breakfast burritos cooked on a campfire is pretty competitive, though. Cream of Wheat in the winter brings back happy memories.
41) Do you own a gun? Several.

77) Did you like your high school guidance counselor? No. I talked to her once or twice maybe. It reminded me of having to go to confession when I went to a Catholic grade school. Didn't recognize her authority, essentially. I always marched to the sound of my own drum as a youngster.
