2. Is it Thursday already?
Edited on Thu Apr-05-07 08:41 AM by taterguy
1. Favorite sport?
Ultimate Frisbee, even though I'm too old to play anymore

2. Do you smoke? if so what brand and how many a day?
Camel Lights, ain't telling how much I smoke

3. Do you have a favorite clothing brand?
Pantagonia

4. Do you collect anything? (coins, stampts, guitars etc)
Do CDs count?

5. Which Bridge do you like more Golden Gate Bridge or Brooklyn Bridge?
Golden Gate, but only because I've been on it recently and I only have vague memories of the Brooklyn Bridge. This bridge is my favorite though. I don't think it has a name. I just enjoy hanging out on it and pondering the universe while watching the water roll by below.



6. ok, ask me something. or give me an opinion about something. anything.
Everyone should hike the Grand Canyon, and go deep inside it, not just wander around the Rim.

36. Thursday Morning Answers
1.) Hockey.

2.) Occasionally...usually a burr pipe. It's a thinking exercise for me mostly.

3.) Not really. I'm label conscious, but I don't have a favorite. If a major fashion house (i.e. Burberry) went totally cruelty-free I'd buy all my clothes from them forever. C'mon Burberry...you know you want my measly $500/quarter I allot for clothing.

4.) Starbucks gift cards. Not so much for collection value but because people throw them away all the time and they actually accumulate collective value. I have an "Ichiro" card that's worth a pretty penny.

5.) Brooklyn!

6.) I'll give you two opinions on children (Ready your flame-suit NOW!):

a.) Fine restaurants and movie theaters should set child-free curfews. It seems the best way to keep everybody happy. I don't mind going to the 10PM showing or 8PM dinner seating if I know that it means I can not be annoyed by other people's children. People with kids can be happy that if the people around them wanted to be unburdened of their children they'd come during child-free hours.

b.) Don't hit your children in public (don't hit them at all really), it says to the people around you that you lack control...if you'd hit your child in public, I don't want to know what you do to your kids when you don't think other people can see. Thus, hit your kid in public, expect that I'm calling the police and child protective services, I will give them a description or you and your child and I'll follow you to the parking lot to get your plate number so I can give them that too. I've had enough of the children-hitters lately, you're on notice. I WILL show up to testify against you and I will follow-up on the progress of the case against you.

37. Thursday Morning Answers:
1. Favorite sport?
Football.

2. Do you smoke? if so what brand and how many a day?
Tobacco-free for a little over a month. Started smoking at age 13 (17 years ago). Went from Marlboro Reds to Winston Lights to Marlboro Lights to Marlboro Ultra Lights. Generally did about a half pack a day, unless I went out at night, in which I could drain a couple packs in a day.

3. Do you have a favorite clothing brand?
I look good in Kenneth Cole, but it's kind of expensive. I really dig Cubavera's shirts -- I've got, like, five of them.

4. Do you collect anything? (coins, stampts, guitars etc)
Good times

5. Which Bridge do you like more Golden Gate Bridge or Brooklyn Bridge?
Prefer NYC to S.F., but I like the Golden Gate better than the B.B.

6. ok, ask me something. or give me an opinion about something. anything.
Here's an opinion: "Life is like a racehorse — if you don't give it any kick, it never gets past the starting gate."
That's mine, but feel free to steal it.

Nothing to do with its asthetic value (although, I do seem to find more beauty in the Manhattan concrete jungle than most people). I just like being in NYC more than I do S.F. The City's got such a pulse to it.

39. answers
1. Favorite sport?
I don't like organized team sports, unless they are the backyard variety. Cycling, swimming, and things like that are fun. Does sex count?

2. Do you smoke? if so what brand and how many a day?
mostly socially. Pall Malls and maybe a pack every 2-6 days. I've smoked a pack in one day, but it's rare.

3. Do you have a favorite clothing brand?
not really. The ones at the thrift store? The only thing I am brand loyal for is Heinz Ketchup.

4. Do you collect anything? (coins, stamps, guitars etc)
I am a pack rat, so on the one hand I have random cans full of hardware or whatever. I also have quite a few musical instruments, but more for the variety of what they do than for any status or "collectivity" - none of them are worth much beyond the sheer joy I get playing them.

5. Which Bridge do you like more Golden Gate Bridge or Brooklyn Bridge?
I have never been to the Golden Gate - it looks beautiful and amazing, but I'm going to have to go with Brooklyn.

6. ok, ask me something. or give me an opinion about something. anything.
Have you ever experienced something that is completely beyond current human knowledge, such as psychic phenomena or even just something strange that cannot be easily explained away?

47. Hello!
1. Favorite sport?

To play: Soccer
To watch: not really into watching sports so I can't pick one.

2. Do you smoke? if so what brand and how many a day?

Nope

3. Do you have a favorite clothing brand?

Nope

4. Do you collect anything? (coins, stampts, guitars etc)

Dust bunnies.

Seriously, I collect religious and cultural artifacts. My office is a shrine/altar with pieces representative of many traditions. Some examples are: Ganesha statuary, eagle feather, Japanese tea ceremony cup, Israeli wall hanging (blessing), Russian iconic Madonna egg. I'm always on the lookout for new cool pieces. I'd love to get a Tibetan singing bowl but I haven't found the right one yet. Most of my pieces have actually been gifts which gives them even greater meaning.

5. Which Bridge do you like more Golden Gate Bridge or Brooklyn Bridge?

Not fond of bridges. I prefer ferries.

6. ok, ask me something. or give me an opinion about something. anything.

Would you have predicted in 1977 that a mother in 2007 would end up with a 3 year old obsessed with Star Wars? -- She types as she puts him in his Darth Vader costume.

54. .
1. Favorite sport? - Hockey

2. Do you smoke? if so what brand and how many a day? Yes, Salem Light or Marlboro Light (menthol), between 5-7 smokes a day. On those one-a-month occasions when I go out drinking, though, I can put a pack away.

3. Do you have a favorite clothing brand? - I insist on Levis as my jeans, but that's as close as it gets. I'm one of those guys who could buy his entire wardrobe in one department store.

5. Which Bridge do you like more Golden Gate Bridge or Brooklyn Bridge? - Golden Gate by default.

6. ok, ask me something. or give me an opinion about something. anything. - Do you have any favorite sports teams? I'm down to one (Montreal Canadiens) now that the Montreal Expos moved to D.C.

55. Happy Thursday to you, lioness!
:hi:

1. Cricket. Like most Americans, I mostly don't understand the game. But I love it anyway. I'm a bit of an Anglophile, and I enjoy the rituals, the stately pace of play, the whites and sweaters. It's very gentlemanly. If that sounds pretentious, so be it.

2. Nope. Never have.

3. Businesswear, I like Joseph & Feiss or Geoffrey Bean. Casual, I like Old Navy. Great stuff. :-)

4. I collect autographed first editions. I have a first edition of "Lost Moon" (later retitled 'Apollo 13') signed by Jim Lovell. Most of my other first editions are by Harlan Ellison. And I have a non-autographed first edition of my favorite novel, "The Seed And The Sower", by Sir Laurence Van Der Post.

5. The Golden Gate, only because the the beauty of the surrounding bay, the fact that I've driven across it, and the liberality of its home city of San Francisco. I've never seen the Brooklyn Bridge in person, although I hope to someday.

6. Does DU fulfill a political emptiness in you? Will you still hang out here when we have a Democratic White House again? I probably will; I've made so many friends here and people that I love, that I couldn't bear to be away from them for good.

:hi: lioness! :loveya:

66. Thursday Night Answers...
1. Favorite sport? Baseball. I don't play it any more, and I don't watch it much either -- but I love listening to a game while working in the yard or just sitting on the porch on a summer evening.

2. Do you smoke? if so what brand and how many a day? Haven't smoked in many, many years. When I did it was Marlboros.

3. Do you have a favorite clothing brand? No.

4. Do you collect anything? (coins, stampts, guitars etc) Still kinda/sorta collect coins, but not so much as I used to.

5. Which Bridge do you like more Golden Gate Bridge or Brooklyn Bridge? I've never been to either one, and would hate to judge on pictures along.

6. ok, ask me something. or give me an opinion about something. anything. Not a question, not an opinion. Just a bit of advice. Every day, make sure that you tell the people important to you that you love them -- and mean it. It's part of my every day -- whether on the phone, going out the door, or to bed at night. You can't say it too often. I'll leave it at that lest I risk getting too maudlin.

70. Here we go:
1. Favorite sport?
Used to be a big buckethead, but really can't get into pro sports anymore. They get paid too much, they are idolized too much, and there are so many more important things to pay attention to.

2. Do you smoke? if so what brand and how many a day?
Unfortunately yes, still having a hard time quitting. Marb Ultra Lights, about 10 a day

3. Do you have a favorite clothing brand?
Not really; I buy everything but socks and undies at the thrift stores

4. Do you collect anything? (coins, stampts, guitars etc)
I collect globes, yardsticks, non-working wind-up alarm clocks, wooden alphabet blocks, cobalt glass, rhinestone jewelry, and those metal thingies that used to go around the stovepipes into the walls...they are decorative scrolled pieces, round things...don't know what the hell you call 'em but I like 'em.

5. Which Bridge do you like more Golden Gate Bridge or Brooklyn Bridge?
Golden Gate

6. ok, ask me something. or give me an opinion about something. anything.
In my opinion, Neapolitan ice cream is just the berries. :-) And I think I am going to go have some right now.

78. answers
"1. Favorite sport?"
Probably cycling, but I haven't had a working bicycle in years. I should get it fixed this year. To watch: figure skating.

"2. Do you smoke? if so what brand and how many a day?"
No. No one in my family smokes except two of my mother's sisters who live in the stone age. No one in my office smokes. None of my friends smoke. When I was young I involuntarily smoked, but then my mother quite and stores stopped letting people smoke indoors.

"3. Do you have a favorite clothing brand?"
East Mountain Sports. Unfortunately, they closed their Cleveland store and now the closest one is in Pittsburgh.

"4. Do you collect anything? (coins, stampts, guitars etc)"
I do, but I use everything I collect. I have a nice collection of premium telescope eyepieces that I use whenever the weather is clear, which is never. I also have a small, but nice collection of firearms.

"5. Which Bridge do you like more Golden Gate Bridge or Brooklyn Bridge?"
Hard to say. I have never been to CA, so I have only seen Brooklyn. Golden Gate is a significant jump over Brooklyn in suspension bridge technology.

"6. ok, ask me something. or give me an opinion about something. anything."
Do you get harangued about producing grandchildren as much as I once did? (Since I'm few months shy of 40, my mother finally gave up.)
