1. Do you have a top five list of the actors that you would love to see die in a movie? (via Kevin via ESPN.)
Kevin Costner
Sandra Bernhard
Farrah Fawcett(teenage yearning years notwithstanding.
David Caruso
Steven Seagal
Honorable mention: Morgan Fairchild, most soap opera actors and Tom Arnold.
2. “How much money would it take for you to kill a puppy with your bare hands?” (via Monkeyfilter)
What the F**K! I “heart” puppies. I heart kittens and puppies. There is not enough dough in the world that would enable me to get past the sick feeling I would feel after deliberately killing puppies. There was an episode of Little House On The Prairie that I remember as a kid. On the episode, some mean old man tossed a burlap sack full of puppies into a pond to kill them so that his kids wouldn’t have pets. To this day I think of that tear jerking episode and my heart melts when I see stranded or unwanted puppies.
3. If you collected posters to hang on your wall, and all of the posters had a similar theme, what would that theme be? Swimsuit models? Famous athletes? Great movies? (via Monkeyfilter)
I guess the obvious and expected answer would be Springsteen, baby! Nothing but walls and walls of Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band posters. Well, either that or puppies. I must rededicate my life to embracing the warmth and charm of puppies after the pitty shower that the last question forced upon me. I feel dirty.
4. What is the “coolest tool” or tip you use that makes your life so much better that you need to shout it to the hills in order for everyone to know about?(via Kevin Kelly (Wired Magazine founder) and Cool Tools)
Roasting your own coffee. Roasting my own coffee and then enjoying a well crafted cup of the best coffee on Earth is my greatest tip to any and all. Get on board and see what a real cup is supposed to taste like. Starbucks can kiss my ass.
5. Have you ever run for public office? (student council, local stuff?) Will you in the future? What would your platform be?
I don’t think I will ever run for public office. But if I did, I think I would run on a platform of love. Love and honesty. Really, folks. Can’t we all just get along? It would be a huge hippie-rific love generation platform of putting aside petty differences on all fronts and taking mandatory time to just stop and love. Stop, love and hug a puppy. Either that or mandatory jail for minor traffic violations. It should be a capital offense to put make up on while driving an SUV at high speed on the interstate. If I catch that lady that was in front of me this morning, she is off to jail when I take office!
1. -Maria Carey (technically not an actor, but seeing her die would be swell)
-Gwyneth Paltrow (okay, so she died in “Seven,” but an encore would be swell)
-Bryan Cox (he actually does die in “The Ring,” but he’s such a riveting bad guy, that seeing him die is always a treat).
-Ah-nold.
-Tom Cruise.
2. This reminds me of the old joke about Churchill, who quipped, “I think we all know what you are, now we’re just haggling over the price.” However, *my* moral values are easily compromised. I’d throw out an opening offer of a million, but would do it for half as much.
3. I would say musicians. I have a burgeoning collection of Slim Cessna and Rhett Miller memorabilia, so IÂ’ve already begun going in that direction.
4. Clean as you go. Never again face a cluttered home or lost possessions. When you use something, put it where it belongs. When you change clothes, either hang them up or put them in the hamper. Once you get started, you just can’t stop. (“Why yes, I do suffer from OCD. Thank you for noticing.”)
5. I would never want to be subjected to the scrutiny that political candidates undergo. I’m certain that there are enough smoking guns (or bimbos) in my past, that any candidacy I launched could be sunk in a matter of moments. As for a platform, I’d choose common sense, and global thinking—both of which are in short supply in this country.
1. Tom Cruise, Kevin Costner, Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, Wesley Snipes.. to name a FEW.
2. What. kind. of. question. is. that.
3. I’ve also got several Slim posters.. most everything else in our apartment has a vintage booze theme. Mm. booze.
4. Since Roy brought up coffee, I’d have to say my French press. The best way to brew a cuppa joe.
5. Like Eddie, there’s way too much incriminating evidence out there for me to ever consider running for public office. Or even showing my face in public, for that matter.
1. David Caruso, Kevin Costner, Tom Cruise and Heather Locklear.
2. The question alone makes me want to vomit and cry. Simultaneously.
3. Russian propaganda art or Art Deco themed posters.
4. Buy bulk meat/fish at Sam’s or Costco, dump smaller portions into freezer bags with various marinades and voila, cheap’n’easy. Like me.
5. I was junior prom royalty, does that count?
I can vouch for Bug.. she is indeed cheap and easy.
