Would you prefer your email be linked, unlinked, or anonymous?
A: yes, please
How do you FEEL about food? Why do you eat?
A: I enjoy it. I like the way it tastes. I like to cook it for people. I like to EAT it with people. If we didn't eat we'd die, you know.
What is your biggest flaw?
A: Hmmm... I have a habit of filling out forms people put online.
3 favorite authors
A: That depends on the day you ask. Some days it might be Stan Lee, Jerzy Koszinski (not at all the way you spell it) and John D. McDonald. On others it could be whoever's book I'm reading that day plus a couple of random folks. MOST days Tim Sandlin would be right up there, especially since my ex-ambulance was a character in one of his books. (Thomas Pynchon would not be on the list, however. I guess I just don't understand Real Literature. Next time you hear someone at a party talking about a book that they couldn't finish reading, walk up and say, "Oh, you're talking about Gravity's Rainbow, aren't you?" You'll be right a large percentage of the time. But I digress...)
What are the hallmarks of success in life?
A: Wasn't Success N Life that show with Robert Tilton? You know, the guy that woujld get you to put your hand on the TV and he'd pray (prey?) and if you got better you had to send him money or else God would get mad or something. Once I saw him explain that God had told him that it was OK to use some of the money as He (God, not Robert) had no real use for it. I don't know if he (Robert) used Hallmark cards or not.
What is your biggest mental fuck-up?
A: Sometimes people give me pot and I forget to smoke it for months.
What is your favorite animal?
A: My very favorite animal was a Wire-Haired Pointing Gryphon named Griffy
Describe it.
A: He was cool. He was pretty smart, and he likked the water. I lost him in the divorce, my ex lost him in the woods.
How long do you usually know a girl before you kiss her?
A: It depends! Anywhere from a few minutes to never.
Jump her?
A: See above. Chemistry is important, of course. I don't know any chemists. Bummer.
Dump her?
A: Depends on whether we ever kissed or jumped, I reckon!
How old were you when you first kissed?
A: 12 or 13
Had sex
A: 15 or so
Smoked Pot?
A: 13
Do you use recreational drugs?
A: Yes
What?
A: Pot very occasionally, psychedelics MUCH less so
When?
A: In social situations I sometimes take a toke or two. Haven't done psychedelics in several years.
Still?
A: Yes
Have you ever been married/lived with someone?
A: Married
Who worked?
A: Hey! I needed to check 2 up there! We both did, sometimes at the same time.
Who cooked?
A: Both did
Who cleaned?

What are the things you cook best?
A: Food. Barbecue. Stir-fried . Smoked cheese. Eggs 'n Stuff.
Have you ever used any of the following (which?): gel hairspray mousse cologne deodorant conditioner zitcream aftershave
A: One of those deodorant rock things. Aftershave makes me sneeze.
What was the most crazy thing you ever did as an adolescent?
A: Actually, I was the only sane one.
as a college student?
A: Nothing crazy. Drank mass quantities like everyone else in that college.
as a working stiff?
A: Quit a job with a Large Corporation to follow the Grateful Dead (which I didn't end up doing on the scale I'd envisioned). Come to think of it, that might have been a rational act, as I might still be in Alabama now...
If you were a fruit or a vegetable, what would you be?
A: I dunno. An artichoke, perhaps.
If I were, what would I be?
A: I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you'd be a Papaya
If you were at a party, and across the room you saw a very handsome man and your girlfriend chatting quite animatedly, what would you do?
A: Another trick question! I'd probably not do much of anything if I had someone interesting to talk to myself.
Do you think there is life after death?
A: Yes
On other planets?
A: Yes
Are you psychic?
A: Yes
Do you think you have any sort of understanding of what it would be like to completely insane?
A: Yes
Why?
A: I once ingested a large quantity of waht was later reported to be STP (or some such thing). No Fun! I got be'er, though.
Were you ever in the armed forces?
A: No
Did you ever kiss a girl who had big, hairsprayed bangs?
A: No
What was the most important scientific achievement in the last 50 years?
A: Uh... Either Cool Light Shows or the World Wide Web. It's a tossup. Could be cheap PC's too, I suppose.

A: An awesome computer

A: A cool housecar
The last?
A: Waitaminnit! Do you mean with the last bit of money left from the million? I'd probably buy something at a yard sale
Who has been the greatest influence in your life?
A: Probably my father
How do people describe you?
A: Some people think I'm "colorful" whatever that means. I suspect it's just that they've never done anything. Others think I'm OK, I guess. Hardly anyone ever throws junk at me.
How do you describe yourself?
A: Fairly normal, in my own way. I'm tall and sometimes I talk a lot. I talk about the way I write, I think.
Do you subscribe to any magazines/newspapers?
A: Yes
Which?
A: The Seattle PI (yuk) and Boardwatch mag are my only two right now. I like Fantasy and Science Fiction a lot also
What are your favorite shoes?
A: I have some shoes that were made from the measurements of my feet. They're kinda mocassin-looking things.
Additional Comments
A: I think that the life after death question and the next couple should have a "maybe" option. In fact, I think that reincarnation is reasonable, and that Heaven isn't, but that wasn't an option. I suppose that if you had buttons for EVERYTHING it would get kind of crowded, huh?
