: : So, onto the questions.
: : 1. If you know, how did your parent(s) name you? And if you don't know, then who or what would you like to think you're named after?
: My mom wanted a name that couldn't be easily permutated into cheesy nicknames.
: She chose poorly, for the record.
: At least I was better off than my brother; he ended up with BSM as his initials. That means he's either BS or BM; neither is very good for the self-esteem.
: : 2. If you have a child or children, how did you come up with his/her/their name(s)?
: Based on names that I particularly like, and how well the first and middle names mesh. But except for one girl's first name, the rest are fluid and change depending on what's going on with me.
: : 3. What is your favorite movie?
: Mallrats
: : 4. What is your favorite book?
: Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere"
: : 5. What is your favorite comic book?
: Neil Gaiman's "Sandman"
: : 6. What is your favorite television show?
: Farscape
: : 7. Recall briefly the most embarrassing moment of your life.
: Um, my pad leaked in middle school, once. I know I've had way more embarrassing moments than this, I've just blocked them all out. Seriously.
: : 8. Recall briefly the most enjoyable moment of your life (non-sexual).
: My niece's birth.
: : 9. If you could have one superpower, what superpower would you choose?
: My answer to this is, was, and will ever be lame. I want to be able to manifest vast quantities of legal tender (without managing to devalue the dollar). That way, no one has to worry about it anymore and we can get on with our lives.
: : 10. What would you say is your "catch phrase"?
: Whatever puts the cream in your Twinkie.
: : Now for the quotes.
: : 1. "Show Dick some respect."
: Breakfast Club.
: : 2. "You're killing me, Smalls!"
: The Sandlot?*
: : 3. "People who talk in metaphors can shampoo my crotch."
: As Good As It Gets.*
: : 4. "She's sleeping with Prince Valium tonight."
: Beetlejuice.
: : 5. "You mean to tell me you couldn't murder a Big Mac?"
: About A Boy*
: : 6. "What about the Clunky Wunky dance?"
: Death to Smoochy*
: : 7. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have ourselves a homicide."
: Seven, I think.
: : 8. "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school."
: Fight Club
: : 9. "Not if you want to keep your spleen."
: American Psycho*
: : 10. "Be excellent to each other."
: Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
: *= I googled these, so if that disqualifies me, that's cool.
: : The first to get all the quotes correct and give insightful, humorous (if that's what you're going for), satisfying answers to the subjective questions will be given the once-in-a-lifetime (unless we decide to have another one) chance to name my child.
