Send This Back!
A big welcome goes out to any and all new readers. I'm glad you could make it.
Every so often, I'll get one of these things in my e-mail. I usually enjoy filling it out and sending it along. I don't know how much the recipients enjoy it, but I always like getting one back from someone.
Still, the whole "e-mail this to all your friends" thing is so 20th-century. Blogging is the way to go now, so that's what I did. I filled in all the answers, posted it here, and sent an e-mail to everyone I know inviting them to come over and take a look. I can't claim this as an original thought, though. Curtis gave me the idea a few weeks ago. So maybe we'll see something like this on his blog in coming days.
Anyway, here's the thing:
--
Copy (don't forward) this entire e-mail and paste it onto a new e-mail you can send. Change all the answers so that they apply to you. Then send it to a whole bunch of people you know, INCLUDING THE PERSON WHO SENT IT TO YOU. The theory is that you will learn a lot of little known facts about your friends.
WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR KITCHEN PLATES?
I live in a bachelor pad, so we've got all kinds. We do have some blue ones and some green ones that match, so I'll go with that.
WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING?
Calculus, Eighth Edition by Varberg, Purcell, and Rigdon. Oh, you mean recreational reading? Ask me again in six months.
WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?
Plain green, no pic.
FAVORITE BOARD GAME?
Trivial Pursuit
LEAST FAVORITE SMELL?
When some idiot burns popcorn in the microwave at work.
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU GET UP IN THE MORNING?
Why can't I sleep past 6:30 a.m.?!?
FAVORITE COLOR?
Plaid Green. Forest green, to be precise.
LEAST FAVORITE COLOR?
Burnt umber—that's a sort of brown-orange, right? Where'd I put that box of crayons?
HOW MANY RINGS UNTIL YOU ANSWER THE PHONE?
Two. That's how many it takes for the Caller ID to come up.
FUTURE CHILD'S NAME?
Samuel Aaron Martin
CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA?
No, chocolate and vanilla.
DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL?
No.
DO YOU LIKE THUNDERSTORMS?
Oh yeah. I love to hear the thunder roll through the valley.
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?
1971 Jeep Wagoneer with the original green metallic paint. You could drive straight up a tree in that thing.
WHAT IS YOUR SIGN?
We Tauruses don't believe in astrology.
DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI?
Doesn't everyone?
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
High school science teacher.
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY COLOR HAIR, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I'm fine with what I've got now, thanks.
IS THE GLASS HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY?
Actually, it's all empty. I was thirsty. Sorry.
FAVORITE MOVIE?
The Princess Bride. Anything else would be absolutely, totally, and in all other ways inconceivable.
DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT KEYS?
For the first few seconds.
WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED?
Shoes, an autoharp, a Browning Pro 600 6T6L Custom bow with a Purple Smoke finish, a quiver with half a dozen arrows, dust bunnies.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER?
13. I'm antitriskaedekaphobic.
FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?
Ice hockey. If they ever get that lockout taken care of.
YOUR SINGLE BIGGEST PAIN?
Relationships, maybe?
PERSON MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND TO THIS?
No clue. Every time I do one of these, somebody disappoints me.
LEAST LIKELY?
Bill. I've got one e-mail from him in something like three years. (Sorry I haven't written back yet, by the way.)
KETCHUP OR MUSTARD?
Mustard, of the dijon variety.
HAMBURGER OR HOT DOG?
Hot dogs at a baseball game, otherwise hamburgers—preferably cooked outdoors over a fire.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON?
Fall. I love the changing colors.
THE BEST PLACE YOU HAVE EVER BEEN?
The family did a three-week driving tour of Alberta and British Columbia when I was in high school. That was pretty amazing.
WHAT SCREEN SAVER IS ON YOUR COMPUTER?
My current screen saver causes the screen to appear to melt. Unfortunately, my background image is an Escher, so it's hard to tell any difference....
FAVORITE MAGAZINE?
The only one I get right now is the Ensign.
FAVORITE SMELL?
A home cooked meal.
WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IN LIFE?
Family and friends.
DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE FAST?
I never drive faster than I can see, and besides ... it's all in the reflexes.* Seriously, though, no, I don't usually drive fast.
STORMS-COOL OR SCARY?
Cool, see above.
IF YOU COULD MEET ONE PERSON DEAD OR ALIVE WHO WOULD IT BE?
I'm thinking someone like Leonardo Da Vinci or Benjamin Franklin.
FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK?
None for me, thanks.
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?
Heights
WHAT IS YOUR DREAM CAR?
I'd love to turn The Dreadnought into a hybrid electric vehicle.
FAVORITE CD?
What, you mean right now? Hmm, let's go with Lana Lane's "Lady Macbeth".

"Whose Line Is It Anyway?"
FAVORITE SOFT DRINK?
A&W Cream Soda
BURGER KING OR McDONALDS?
Wendy's, actually
FAVORITE PET:
Manfred, the black lab I grew up with.
That's it for now. I'll be looking for all of your lists soon. Enjoy!

Well, it just goes to show... oh, I don't know what it goes to show.
I might respond...
(I left a similar, but more cryptic, comment on the wrong post... I'll be more careful in the future.) :-)
