50 questions
I stole
these questions from cockeyed.com
and changed all the answers (and a couple of the questions). There are six sets of 50 questions. See the bottom of the page to navigate to the
other sets of questions. If the
questions sound weird, they were directed at Rob Cockingham
back in 2000, and not at me.
fourth 50 questions
1. Elvis Costello?
Absolutely. He’s great. I love “Alison”.
2. Ever seen bread in a can?
You mean like those biscuit roll thingies?
3. Do you use styling products in your hair?
Like shampoo? Sometimes, if it’s a
special occasion.
4. Do you think someone named Hank Die wears cowboy
boots?
Sure. Do you think everyone in Houston wears cowboy boots? Do you think anyone does?
5. Last time you called in sick, were you faking it?
Hung-over is sick, right?
6. Your catch phrase?
I use my powers for good, never evil.
7. Ever heard of Rob Hawkins?
No (a Google search reveals a country singer Rob Hawkins).
8. Pink?
Sure. I have a couple of pink
shirts. You have to be a confident
heterosexual to pull them off, though.
Which I am.
9. Best muppet?
Beaker.
10. Best snack?
Cheetos, they’re dangerously cheesy.
11. Science or religion?
I think they are compatible.
12. Salad dressing of choice?
At a restaurant, ranch or blue cheese.
At home, Russian.
13. Independent or codependent?
Definitely independent. But the
opposite of independent is not codependent, it’s
DEPENDENT! “CODEPENDENT” means
something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! Sorry,
a pet peeve of mine.
14. Football?
NFL football. I can’t relate as well
to any of the college teams. NCAA
basketball championship. NBA playoffs. Astro’s
games. Cycling. Golf.
15. Science fair?
Sure. I have a couple of ideas already.
16. Worst disease?
Ebola. Flesh-eating bacteria. AIDS.
Compared to them, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease)
doesn’t look that bad. But it’s very, very
bad.
17. Coke or Pepsi?
I like both, but I think Pepsi tastes slightly better. Also, Coke seems to give me sensitive
teeth, nothing else does.
18. How did you get a black eye?
The last one I had was in high school, we got jumped downtown Houston by a gang for our concert
shirts at the Triumph-UFO concert.
19. What do you think my job title is?
Reporter? Writer? Interviewer?
20. Best ice cream?
Homemade. It’s all good, I don’t
really like coffee flavors, though.
21. Does your phone have a cord?
I have some vintage corded phones, but they’re such a hassle to use. They aren’t even touch-tone.
22. Best swear word?
**** **** it!!! ******-****** is a
close second.
23. Did Nancy order lunch for me,
too?
Yes. Didn’t she ask you what you
wanted?
24. When was your last oil change?
My light came on today, so I’m due. I
actually schedule them on my Outlook calendar.
25. How do you feel about retail workers?
I feel uncomfortable, most of the time.
26. Are you a slob?
I was in college, but I think I would be classified as average now. No clothes on the floor or dishes in the
sink.
27. Allergies?
None.
28. How many credit cards do you have?
I have a couple but only use one. I pay
it off every month.
29. Are you subversive?
Yes, but no one knows.
30. Do you have neat handwriting?
Printing yes. Cursive, no. I think handwriting will become a lost art
in the very near future.
31. Boats?
Someone else’s.
32. Malt or milkshake?
Either.
33. Should I tape it shut for you?
I guess that’s come kind of Starbucks thing.
I don’t drink coffee.
34. Most annoying noise?
Beeps of any kind. Cell phones that
people don’t answer but don’t know how to shut off the ringer. Someone clipping their nails in a public
place.
35. Do you have 20/20 vision?
No, in fact, I failed the eye test the last time I went to get my driver’s
license. I had to get a pair of
glasses, but I never wear them. It’s
just one eye that is near-sighted.
36. Mall of America?
That’s in Minneapolis, and I haven’t been there.
37. Best coworker?
All good.
38. When is accounting going to learn?
They have an unenviable job. No one
ever calls them to say, “Hey, thanks, my expenses are all correct. Nice job!”
39. Shower or bath?
Shower.
40. Does size matter?
See this. Did I tell you I wear size 13 shoes?
41. Scones?
Not really.
42. Count Duckula or Danger Mouse?
Are you kidding? Haven’t you seen my web site?
43. What time is it right now?
10:25 PM CST
44. Can you use Excel?
I am an Excel wizard. It comes from
all the reports I used to have to write when I was an engineer at FERA.
45. Purple?
Not so much.
46. Do you like strawberries?
Strawberries are aces.
47. How do you face society with a black eye?
I actually had two black eyes. You
have to have a sense of humor about it. People avoided the topic, except this
one girl in the cafeteria (she was hot, and probably wouldn’t have ever
talked to me otherwise) asked me “What happened? I mean, I know you got beat up, but what
happened?” She was pretty sympathetic. It didn’t hurt.
48. What do you think of me now?
Curious, even though you’re talking to Rob, not me.
49. Ever been to Norway?
My dad’s side of the family is Norwegian, but I’ve never been there. My parents have been a couple of times.
50. Did you vote for Nader?
No. I am a major party kind of guy,
but I liked Anderson when he ran. I like to order Lyndon LaRouche
campaign materials because they’re so ridiculous.
