MOUTHOLOGY
Q. What is your salad dressing of choice?
A. Blue cheese. If it's not available, then Thousand Island. It's all about the creaminess.
Q. What is your favorite fast food restaurant?
A. Arby's - I love the jamocha milkshakes.
Q. What is your favorite sit-down restaurant?
A. The Hot House Cafe, at 35 Church Street.
Q. On average, what size tip do you leave at a restaurant?
A. Between 15 and 20%, unless they add the tip themselves or the service is terrible.
Q. What food could you eat every day for two weeks and not get sick off of?
A. Pasta. (Does that count, since pasta can be as varied as spaghetti, rotini or lasagne, and you can vary the sauce?)
Q. What are your pizza toppings of choice?
A. Pineapple, pepperoni, mushrooms.
Q. What do you like to put on your toast?
A. Jam - especially Greaves jam, from Niagara-on-the-Lake. I haven't had any in quite a while, though.
Q. What is your favorite type of gum?
A. I don't generally chew gum.
TECHNOLOGY
Q. what is your IQ?
A. I have no idea.
Q. Number of contacts in your email address book?
A. 745. Apparently I really do know everyone. (Mind you, that probably includes a few mailing lists I'm on, like SMOFS and the Polaris concom lists.)
Q. What is your wallpaper on your computer?
A. Various Star Trek scenes. I have the free version from www.startrek.com - I couldn't be bothered to pay for 30 more pictures.
Q. How many televisions are in your house?
A. Two, only one of which actually works.
BIOLOGY
Q. Are you right-handed or left-handed?
A. I was left-handed until my paternal grandmother caught wind of it. Now I can't do anything with my left hand.
Q. What’s your best feature?
A. No idea. My sense of humour, maybe?
Q. Have you ever had anything removed from your body?
A. A mole from the back of my neck.
Q. Which of your five senses do you think is keenest?
A. Touch.
Q. When was the last time you had a cavity?
A. Maybe ten years ago? I haven't been to the dentist in far too long. Since I think I chipped a tooth a couple of weeks ago at First Thursday, I should probably rectify that.
Q. What is the heaviest item you lifted last?
A. Probably the printer we used in Programming Ops at Polaris, though it wasn't much of a lift - I only lifted it to put it on the dolly we were using to transport it.
Q. Have you ever been knocked unconscious?
A. No, but I've fainted three times. And while I was once hit in the head by a hockey puck (without a helmet - I was the league scorekeeper), it didn't knock me out, just down.
BULL[CRAP]OLOGY
Q. If it were possible, would you want to know the day you were going to die?
A. Not particularly.
Q. Is love for real?
A. That's what Donna Summer says. Who am I to argue?
Q. If you could change your name, what would you change it to?
A. It was already changed once (I was born Matthew, and my parents changed it when I was a few weeks old), so no. Though I have at various points in my life answered to Frank, Frank Arthur, and Wesley.
Q. What color do you think looks best on you?
A. I have no idea, though my ex used to say to me, "I hate you - you can wear orange."
Q. Have you ever swallowed a non-food item by mistake?
A. By mistake? No. It was completely deliberate. Besides, I'd have had to have left the room to find somewhere to spit.
Q. Have you ever saved someone’s life?
A. No.
Q. Has someone ever saved yours?
A. I don't think so, though the last time I fainted, my friends did call an ambulance and have me rushed to the hospital.
DAREOLOGY
Q. Would you walk naked for a half mile down a public street for $100,000?
A. Probably. I'm shameless. Just ask anyone who watched me changing costumes when we were filming the TT-Polaris skits, or anyone who was in A Midsummer Night's Dream with me back in 1990 at KWLT, or FASS 1990.
Q. Would you kiss a member of the same sex for $100?
A. You wouldn't have to pay me to do that.
Q. Would you allow one of your little fingers to be cut off for $200,000?
A. No.
Q. Would you never blog again for $50,000?
A. No, I don't think so. I enjoy this too much.
Q. Would you pose naked in a magazine for $250,000?
A. Sure, though I don't know who would want to see that.
Q. Would you drink an entire bottle of hot sauce for $1000?
A. Not for ONE BILLION DOLLARS!
Q. Would you, without fear of punishment, take a human life for $1,000,000?
A. No.
Q. Would you give up watching television for a year for $25,000?
A. Not if I also had to give up watching DVDs, since I buy a lot of shows that way.

- The Sodom And Gomorrah Show (Pet Shop Boys):
You've got to love to learn to live where angels fear to tread
I did it and I don't regret the day
Even now I think of how you turned to me to say
"Are you gonna go to the Sodom and Gomorrah Show?
It's got everything you need for your complete entertainment and instruction
Sun, sex, sin, divine intervention, death and destruction
The Sodom and Gomorrah Show is a once-in-a-lifetime production." - I Could Fall In Love With You (Erasure):
Come and hold me
And dissolve me
But I never do what I am told to
You enthuse me
Don't abuse me
At the worst of times you'll never lose me
There are times when I could fall in love with you
There are times when I would scream till I was blue - Sono Luminus (Erasure):
Lift me higher
High as heaven can be
Sono luminus
Love is here
Where it always will be
Deep inside of us - Just Can't Get Enough (Depeche Mode):
We walk together, we're walking down the street
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
Every time I think of you I know we have to meet
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough - Wonderful Life (Black):
Here I go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to hide your face
It's a wonderful, wonderful life - Nothing Is Easy (Jethro Tull):
Nothing is easy, though time gets you worrying
My friend, its okay.
Just take your life easy and stop all that hurrying,
Be happy my way. - You And Me (Victor/Victoria soundtrack - Julie Andrews, Robert Preston):
Wand'ring free,
We present the kind of picture
Other people are glad to see.
And we don't care that tomorrow
Comes with no guarantee;
We've each other for company.
Man, that was a hard one. I'm not going to tag anyone in particular - if you want to do it, have at it!

Date: 2007-08-16 06:05 am (UTC)The funny thing is, both my boss and my one colleague are left-handed. If I'd been left-handed too, that would have been quite a coincidence. We could have started the equivalent of the Red-Headed League. ;)
