-- Fuck it, I'll answer it none the less.
: 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?
-- They named me 'Tom' because no-one else in the family was named Tom. It's a stupid reason, yes.
: 2. If you have a child or children, how did you come up with his/her/their name(s)?
-- I had two fish. I named them Fred and Frank, because as a 9 year old, I was all about the alliteration.
: 3. What is your favorite movie?
-- Oh, uh... I don't think I have one - here are '4 of da best': Evil Dead 2, Groundhog Day, The Empire Strikes Back or Clerks.
: 4. What is your favorite book?
-- Well, I've read most of the classics as a Literature student... y'know, Homer's 'The Odyssey', Dante's 'The Inferno' and just about everything Shakespeare ever's written, but my favourite book remains Mick Foley's 'Have A Nice Day!: A Tale Of Blood & Sweatsocks'.
: 5. What is your favorite comic book?
-- Bendis' 'Daredevil'. Or 'Watchmen'. Or 'Preacher'. Agh, they're all great.
: 6. What is your favorite television show?
-- Spaced. It's a British sit-com, and it's faantastic. You want an American show? Season 6 of South Park, perhaps.
: 7. Recall briefly the most embarrassing moment of your life.
-- Getting lost on a mountain in Italy when I was 13. You know when you get snow on the underneath of your boot, so you can't get your skis back on? Well, that happened to me, so I told the others to go on, as I though I'd just take a few seconds stamping it out. It didn't. It took longer, and they left me alone at the top of the mountain. Fuckers.
: 8. Recall briefly the most enjoyable moment of your life (non-sexual).
-- Oh... uh... probably on Splash Mountain at Disney World for the first time.
: 9. If you could have one superpower, what superpower would you choose?
-- Flight. If anyone doesn't choose this, they're dummies.
: 10. What would you say is your "catch phrase"?
-- Eh, Steve! Nah, just kidding, but anyone who gets that is awesome. Maybe 'rad'. Or 'fair enough then'.
: Now for the quotes.
-- You know you didn't get a lot of these quotes right? For shame... still I'll answer 'ems.
: 1. "Show Dick some respect."
-- The 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. Or Se7en, if you're pretentious.
: 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 And Ted's Excellent Adventure.
: 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.
-- I'm gonna name your kiiid, I'm gonna name your kiiiid.
