: : 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? : I don't think my name is anything meanful, it's just a nice Nordic name (my lineage is heavily Swedish). : : 2. If you have a child or children, how did you come up with his/her/their name(s)? : No children yet but I eventually will probably procreate. For a boy, I'd most likely incorporate Douglas Adams in some manner and for a girl it'd be after a woman in the sciences (e.g. Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin, etc). : : 3. What is your favorite movie? : It's 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it. "The Blues Brothers" : : 4. What is your favorite book? : Hard question. I'm currently reading The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins (a brilliant book that should be required reading for everyone) but I think my fav. book is either Catch-22 or Lord of the Rings. : : 5. What is your favorite comic book? : Don't read too many comics but X-Men were always my favorites. : : 6. What is your favorite television show? : The Crocodile Hunter. Stere Irwin is my hero. : : 7. Recall briefly the most embarrassing moment of your life. : I singlehandedly shut down the primary mode of transportation in Disneyworld: the monorail. I was a senior in high school on a band trip and was riding between parks. So as I'm about to vacate the train, I look above me and see two handle-looking things. Since I'm incorrigibly curious, I put my hands on them and a panel fell out of the ceiling (presumably some sort of emergency hatch). I take off my glasses, pull my hair out its ponytail, and make myself as incognito with my friends as possible cuz most likely The Mouse will soon be on my ass. I scampered down the station walkway and cruised to safety . . . I was never caught, muwahaha. : : 8. Recall briefly the most enjoyable moment of your life (non-sexual). : Running onto Mountaineer Field for my first football game as a member of the Pride of West Virginia. We enter field during pregame by running *in step* at 220 beats per minute. My first game was WVU vs. Ohio State and it was the 3rd largest crowd in WVU history: 66,000 strong. Playing in front of that many people, in a marching band of 380 players, was pure exhilaration. : : 9. If you could have one superpower, what superpower would you choose? : I would make logic contagious. Whenever I discover logically fallacies in a person arguments, beliefs, etc., I would allow them to "see the light" and be no longer moronic. : : 10. What would you say is your "catch phrase"? : Don't really have one; I guess the closest thing would be, "Rock and roll," as a sign of affirmation. : : 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." : Se7en : : 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 : Party on, dude.
