1. What is the earliest movie you remember watching in the theater?
In our small town, one of the things the locals were proud of was the movie theater. My folks went to the movies a lot and I remember lots of movie outings even as a very wee one, three years old or so. I remember watching Disney and lots of kids movies. The first movie that counts was probably some Kurt Russell movie: The Computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes or The Barefoot Executive, or one of the other Dexter movies from Uncle Walt. Now that I look at that short list, I wonder, did Disney have a foot fetish?
2. If you could strike one word from the English language, which word would you choose and why?
Irregardless, followed very closely by Orientate. Both words are superfluous.
3. If you were a superhero, what would be your kryptonite?
Rasperries. Or maybe Porn. Porn, good fresh porn will bring down nearly any superhero.
4. Would you rather win an Emmy, Grammy, Tony, Golden Globe, Oscar, Pulitzer, or Nobel Prize? What work would you win it for?
I would love to have the Nobel Prize for literature or even poetry. But my work place poetry, centering on policy. procedures and office supplies will probably never win the big prize:
Gazing at the red stapler, sullen and alone
I am stunned at the absence of its little friend.
Burgundy and full so helpful and matched
My tape roll is gone.
No longer shall I affix.
5. What is your catch phrase? Don’t have one? Then make one up!
At work, with a hint of sarcasm, my catch phrase is “Living the Dream.”
But today, I did cast a new one: “One can have a great time at work, with a nose full of coke.” But I don’t think it will catch on.
1. I was 5, and the movie was Star Wars. I decided then and there that I was to marry Han Solo. Then he went and broke my heart with that skinny hussy, Allie McBlah. Han, you bastard.
2. Agreeing with Roy on the two words he chose, I shall also add to the kitty “nukular”, “atheletic”, and the MADDENING misuse of apostrophe’s. HA! Got you, didn’t I? It’s “apostrophes”.
3. Anything involving loose hair or phlegm. In fact, I gagged a little just now by simply typing it.
4. I would rather win a Granny. They’re neat. They bake you things and tell you how well you’re doing in school (even if you’re not in school anymore), and let you stay up late.
5. “Code brown!” , “Close enough for government work” (I can’t totally claim that for myself, but I’ve used it), “I may be calm on the outside, but I assure you I’m screaming on the inside”. Boy, my work is catch phrasetastic.
!) The first movie I remember seeing was Starman & it was at a drive in. My parents claim I saw Fantasia when I was 6 months old & it scared me. I don’t recall that though.
@ I would strike “ain’t” from the language. I think it makes people sound ignorant.
#) If I were a super hero, my kryptonite would be booze. I’m still learning when enough is enough & the appropriate rate at which to consume the sweet nectar.
$) I’d like to have 1 of each because I’m the baby.
%) Whilst trying not to use expletives, I’m working towards exclaiming “Poppycock & pussy willows!” instead. It’s a tough road I’ve chosen but, I’ll get there.
1. Young Frankenstein repeatedly!
2. The word “dude”
3. My weakness would be kittens
4. I don’t like to win and you failed to mention the Darwin Awards
5. With passion and dedication to Hpmer Simpson, “Jebus”
1. I probably would say 100 and 1 Dalmatians. I remember being 3 or 4, and being mortified by Cruella Deville. I also remember that the auditorium was incredibly smoky (it was *that* long ago), and that there was a smoky little glassed-in room at the back of the room, where women could take their crying babies (and that room was full of smoke as well).
2. I’d pick “paradigm.” It’s a great word, but it has been so mis-used and misunderstood that it should just be retired.
3. Coors Light.
4. Golden Globe for “Outstanding Ingenue.”
5. *I’ll* Shift Your Paradigm.
1. What is the earliest movie you remember watching in the theater?
Star Wars, vaguely. Also remember seeing the first Indiana Jones movie, and that boulder rolling towards the screen. Also always caught the new Bond movies when I was young. Guess I am a sucker for action.
2. If you could strike one word from the English language, which
word would you choose and why?
we already answered this, but since my answer hasn’t changed… it bears repeating. I don’t care for the ‘n’ word… nigger. there is no use for it, and at no point in time should any human use it.
3. If you were a superhero, what would be your kryptonite?
nothing, that is why I am a superhero and you are a puny suffering human. I am flawless, I am a god! I am short, fat, bald near sighted, and flat footed. Now, that is a superhero!
4. Would you rather win an Emmy, Grammy, Tony, Golden Globe, Oscar, Pulitzer, or Nobel Prize? What work would you win it for?
the one for writing. As a musician, I know the grammy is nice but not particularly valued. It doesn’t carry the prestige of an Oscar. So, what is the ultimate honor for a book, then? Well, for the kind of books that shaped me, the answer is ‘banned’!
5. What is your catch phrase? Don’t have one? Then make one up!
sweet bippity bop! Don’t believe me? See what happens if you click here http://www.sweetbippitybop.com
1. What is the earliest movie you remember watching in the theater?
Hmmmmmm……..Star Wars. I’ll never forget the opening sequence when the massive Star Destroyer appeared, advancing further and further into the frame while getting larger and larger until it filled the screen. It felt like I was tethered to the tip of that massive ship, being sucked into the world of movies for the first time. I have loved going to movies ever since.
2. If you could strike one word from the English language, which word would you choose and why?
Irregardless drives me nuts.
3. If you were a superhero, what would be your kryptonite?
vaginas……..eeeeeeewwww. In my comic book world, they would be called Baby Cannons.
4. Would you rather win an Emmy, Grammy, Tony, Golden Globe, Oscar, Pulitzer, or Nobel Prize? What work would you win it for?
Nobel Peace Prize……for ridding the world of George Bush.
5. What is your catch phrase? Don’t have one? Then make one up!
Don’t really have one. I’ve always wanted to blurt out ” Jeeee-sus titty-fucking Christ” at work just to see what would happen.
1. Lost Horizon or WIlly Wonka. Willy WOnka is my favorite movie of all time. Great for kids and strange enough to be good for adults.
2. Bucket
3. sea spiders only found at the bottom of the Arctic ocean.
4. Tony (for obvious reasons)
5. Tony outtie not innie.
1)”Return of The Jedi”
2)simpleton, It hurts me deep
3)Hot redheads
4)Oscar for acting in something really good
5)I feel barfy
1. I saw Empire Strikes back when I was 4 at the drive-in. Sadly, I mainly remember it because me & my sister hid under blankets in the back of the station wagon. Hey, screw you! We were poor!
2. “Moist” need I explain?
3. Colt 45.
4. Doi – a Nobel Prize for Astrophysics. And if I knew what it was for, don’t you think I’d have it dangling around my neck already?
5. I’d like it to be something much cooler, but sadly it’s “What a turd!” tied with “That’s crap!”
