1. If you can only hear one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Jungleland by Springsteen. It is complex, with a great gritty narrative and really long (over 9 minutes) so it can fill a lot of time in a musically empty void.

2. What one song would you like to be played on your funeral?
Souls of the Departed by Springsteen. A very touching ballad.

3. What one song that is best to describe your feeling right now?
Is there a hungry song? (I ain’t ate the breakfast yet). “Hungry, hungry, hippo.?”

4. What one song would you like to hear when you’re sad and depressed?
Anything from Herp Alpert and the Tijauna Brass. I listened to a greatest hits CD of him yesterday and there isn’t a sad song in the mix.

5. What one song that you wished you have written?
I talked about “The Weight” a few weeks back. That one is on the list. The family of the author of “Happy Birthday” makes money every time that ditty is played. It would be nice to be the author of that.

1. Has anybody ever heard of a Farrah Fawcett record? Did she sing? What song did she sing?
She had a raspy kinda voice - I would want her to sing something soulful and magical, perhaps about her appearance on Letterman or making love to the Bionic Man.

2. If Michael Jackson starred in a sitcom, what would it be about.
It would involve Bubbles the chimp and be a lot like “My Two Dads.” Each week, MJ and Bubbles would get into hijynx while trying to raise their child on the mean streets of Detroit.

3. Ed McMahon sang. In fact you can still find a few of his albums on ebay. What would you have Ed sing to?
He would be engaged to my birthday and sing “”Moon River,” while downing 16 shots of Jaeger (Hey, tis is Ed we are talking about - this is no tough challenge.)

4. If you could name an 11th commandment, what would that be?
Abide.

5. Do you have a favorite alternate route to work?
I will some times take Quebec/Tamarac/Yosemite down to work in the morning. It is peaceful and pretty in the early morning light. I did not do that today and got behind three big trucks hauling drywall and moving at about 40 miles/hour. Sweet Jesus, this is an interstate, get a move on!

1. When do you get up?
The alarm goes off at 5:08, but I generally don’t get up until 5:28.

2. Do you pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street?
Oh, I can be pouty, and now, 80 pounds lighter, I do tend to preen. (PS this is a song lyric by the Police. I looked it up.) When I think pouting and preening, I don’t think of the Police, I think of The Rolling Stones.

3. Does it taste like chicken?
Generally Chicken is the only thing that tastes like chicken. That being said, I don’t think I have eaten many exotic meats to the know the difference.

4. This is a colon : and this is a semi-colon ; - what’s next?
The colon is connected to the bunghole. But seriously, I was contemplating this the other day. With email and texting I wonder how long English society will stick with “sentance graphics” and diacritical marks.

5. What do you keep in your picinick basket, boo boo?
SPF 50, a big water bottle, mp3 player and some sunscreen.

1. Anne Frank was born today. Which leads me to think of hiding places. Do you have a secret hiding place?
As a kid, there was this cave over the hill that was a day hike (a day hike in kids terms, so it was about 45 minutes.) We used to think it was great hiding place.
In adult world, a great hiding place is lunch. Most of my peer group doesn’t leave for lunch. So stepping out for the noon hour is a great way to hide for an hour or so.

2. Donald Duck was born this week (Do you see a Wikipedia theme here?) How should Donald star in a new comic/movie?
I can’t stop thinking about Howard the Duck and how bad that film was. That image won’t allow me to concentrate to cast a new DD film. But however the DD film comes out, it will have a great scene with Scrooge McDuck and all of his money in the big vault.

3. Sunday is flag day. How to you let your freak flag fly?
I am a nerd and quite confident in my nerdiness. My freak flag will be to partition my computer hard drive this weekend to allow a dual boot disk running Ubuntu Linux. That my friends in geeky.

4. I kinda dig looking at house plans and architect drawings. Frank Lloyd Wright was born this week. Do you have a favorite building.
I really like the architecture of Denver’s Brown Palace. And if you look down from the top of the hill on 17th St. in Denver there is neet view of The Cash Register Buiding and Independance Tower sitting as if they were right next to each other. A nice architectural view.

5. Someone has declared this as national fishing week. When was the last time you went fishing?
Years and years. Seriously, probably eight or nine. My step father is an avid fisherman and goes almost weekly but I have yet to go with him - his skills are far superior to mine and I am humbled.

Friday hodge podge.

1. Where is your favorite place to eat breakfast.
I have many breakfast eatery haunts. Such exciting place as the “W” Cafe in Gunnison and the Arrowhead Inn Cimmaron (Oh, sweet Mary, those scones!) But P17 in uptown Denver has these amazing bottomless guava juice mimosas and a braised and broiled uncured bacon dish that I literally dream about. Last week I had Sunday brunch at Lucilles - and that didn’t suck either - count the ways to use the butter !!

2. What is your favorite place to get stinkin’ drunk
Besides my living room? I still have a warm spot for the king of dive bars, The PS Lounge on Colfax. For a bit more flair, a great place to get stinking drunk is The Cruise Room in the Oxford Hotel in LoDo.

3. What do you do to ask for forgiveness (see above)
I have been known to ground myself after a particularly boozy evening. I stand in front of the mirror and give myself a stern talking too and then I am grounded to my house for a few weeks.

4. What is your absolute, must have on hand condiment?
Huy Fong Sriracha sauce - an Asian hot sauce that is perfect with eggs, tater tots, fries and a Pat’s Philly Cheese sammich. A bottle must always be in the fridge.

5. Do you follow celebrity gossip? Who gets your attention.
I don’t. I don’t get TMZ television or any of the other television gossip shows. I don’t go to gossip web pages. I guess if I had to pick it would be The Soup, with Joel McHale.
