1. If you had the ability to legally change your name, would you? To what?
Probably not. I kind oflike my unique name. However if I changed it let’s go with Tex McCord. Side note: I collect the names of the addresses that Spam my email There are always some winners on that list, names worthy of a trip to court to change the name. One example from this week’s pile of mail: Rigoberto Hobson.
2. What do you with with change that you receive from banks/purchases/find on the ground? It sits in a bank on my bookshelf or in my ashtray of my car. It gets used occassionally. And about once or twice a year I drag it to the bank, have it counted and deposit it.
3. If you could travel back in time to change the course of one historical event, what event would it be?
I am gong to go with recent history and roll back time to prior 9/11 – and then use the change to ensure the towers don’t go down. The last seven years have been ugly and life would be very different without that event.
4. Would you rather live a safe, stable, moderately interesting life or one where every day was dangerous, volatile, and different?
i want dagerous change by day and quite stable by evening – that is why I am going to take a job at 7/11.
5. What do you think you’ll be remembered for when you die and, if you could, would you change it to something else?
I will be remembered for my wacky sense of humor and being a generally nice guy. I can life with that.
1. I’d probably keep my name—it has some significance to me. If I changed it I’d want it to be something porn-y like “Rock Hardtâ€.
2. The quarters become laundry / car wash money. The rest generally finds its way into jars and sits around for years.
3. I would have prevented Roy’s conception. Kidding. I’m going with something really obscure here. . . I would have gone back to Greeley, Colorado, circa 1949, and done something about Sayyid Qutb—the father of radical Islam. He was so disenchanted with his stay in Greeley, that he wrote the movement’s manifesto. If that could have been prevented, the world would be a much more docile place.
4. Safe, stable and moderately interesting is good enough for me. I can make my own adventure, thank you.
5. Probably for my various inventions that changed the planet. From the POG-mosa (a champagne cocktail that uses Hawaii’s answer to Tang ® called POG), to Bar-b-sagna (my famous bbq beef lasagna) I’ve definitely changed the way the world approaches eating and drinking.
1. If you had the ability to legally change your name, would you? To what?
well, that is a silly question because I do have that ability. So do you. Problem is, it is tough to cash checks as ‘Baron von Excellente’.
2. What do you with with change that you receive from banks/purchases/find on the ground?
this question is couched, and I don’t like it. What you are really asking is: if I came upon a fortune that I knew wasn’t mine… what would I do? Same thing you would do; look around, grab the money, and discreetly walk away. Finding stuff isn’t a crime, brother. That is what my lawyer says, anyway. My attorney has also advised me to tell you I would give it to charity right away… after his cut.
3. If you could travel back in time to change the course of one historical event, what event would it be?
The Kennedy Assassination. Even if I couldn’t change history, I would like to have the knowledge I have now, and be on that hill. Who was behind that fence, what was going on? There may not have been a second shooter, but I bet there was at least a spotter. Things like this do not happen in a vacuum.
4. Would you rather live a safe, stable, moderately interesting life or one where every day was dangerous, volatile, and different?
I am somewhat old and super content and happy. No reason to risk it, I lead a blessed life.
5. What do you think you’ll be remembered for when you die and, if you could, would you change it to something else?
I am changing my course every day, always trying to be nicer and more helpful. There is always more to do, and more people to help. Problem is, I am hardwired to be lazy and selfish… so being a good guy is can be a battle. So, when I am gone, I hope to have left a mark of positivity and public service… unless ‘Lost’ is on. Then, y’all are on your own.
stay warm. unless you are somewhere else, then stay cool. Big news, here. Next week will be in the 70’s, and perhaps I will tell you more about Rufus the police trained scent tracking coon hound! Up top, that is my boy.
1. I love my name as-is. Stage Mahoo. Although if I had to change it, I’d go with my decade-old drag name, Snowball MacBaine.
2. We have a tin in which we put our loose change. Once or twice a year we head to the “Coinstar” contraption at Queen Soopers and end up with enough paper money to get a good bottle of bourbon at Argonaut.
3. I wouldn’t let him get on that bike.
4. I love my life at home to be comfortable and safe.. I get plenty of action and adventure at work, in the form of half naked octogenarians detoxing from alcohol with superhuman strength and a penchant for spitting.
5. I imagine I’ll be known for two things: my heart-stopping tater casserole and my gigantic biceps. Oh and maybe my sense of humor.
1) Anthony Paul Zefferelli – The story is long and stupid, so just leave it at that.
2) I love my change. I have a very nice and high-end sorting machine at home that puts it into rolls and then every once in a great while I cash it in and use it for some trip.
3) I would go even prior to 9/11 and actually not ignored that Al Gore won the presidential election in Florida. Then no Bush, no more fucking BUSH!
4) I lived the crazy life for a lot of my years till now. Safe, stable, and moderately interesting please ( as long as I can play XBox once in a while.)
5) Loyalty. And yes I would change it to be remembered for my extensive and glorious career as a porn star.
!) I do have the ability but there’s no way I would. How many Edward Edwards do you know that were born in Edwardsville, IL?
@) I take all my change home & put it into my “Rainy Day Fund” in a vase which Thom uses to purchase coffee & other things.
#) I think I’d prevent 9/11 from happening for various reasons.
$) I’d much rather live a safe life. I get all the excitement I need on the trains.
%) I don’t mind if you forget me. :o)
1)Have gotten used to my name but if I had to change it…Garth Butcher
2)the quarters go in the car for parking and the rest in a 96 oz. urinator cup on the desk to be cashed in at a later date
3)That Fucking Hitler guy is toast!
4)Safe and Stable
5)Sense of humor and hard working. Change it to the guy that discovered a cure for AIDS
