When you go to the zoo, what animals do you want to see the most? Once upon a time I would have said monkeys/apes. But living with children is like having drunken primates underfoot all the time anyway. So I’m going for whatever animal lives in an air-conditioned enclosure. “Termite house? Let’s go!”
What does our culture misunderstand about beauty, if anything? Most everything. God bless blondes, but really… why the Aryan bent? Okay, bad joke. Beauty varies from person to person. Hell, I used to know a shrink with a fetish for buck teeth. Enough with the cosmetic procedures… damn.
What musical reunion would you love to see? Keep it among living folks please. Nothing against Johnny Tempesta, but I’d sure like to see Page Hamilton work with drummer John Stanier again.
Who wins the Oompa Loompa vs. Munchkin war? Oompa Loompas are chocolate-fueled, man. They’d kick the Munchkins’ asses.
When you were 10, what did you think you’d be doing at this point in your life? I thought I’d be a veterinarian.
The greatest bag of potato chips on the rack is…? Anything jalapeno flavored.
Does corn belong in picante sauce? No freakin’ way. Ditto for raspberries, mango chunks, peaches, etc.
Have you ever used a fake name? Eh, sorta. I seem to recall that, for some reason, as I left a final exam at Brazosport College someone was posted at the door taking names for some sort of religious solicitation. Not sure why that was allowed, but I told them my last name was Bristol. So sue me. I’m already acquainted with God.
What’s for supper tonight? Kelli’s going to be out of town, so I’m playing the dreaded McDonald’s card.
When is the last time you were giddy? Why? Leaving the entrance interview for grad school at Tx Wesleyan. I was overwhelmed, intimidated and potentially out of my league, yet still somehow made an okay showing for myself.
Who has great, unrealized potential? Most of us.
What charity is closest to your heart? Cystic Fibrosis, as it’s an awful disease, and Ronald McDonald House.
Aches, pains… we’ve all got them. Think you’re holding up okay, or is something likely to require some medical attention at some point? Heh… just throw a dart at a photo of my body. I’m mostly over my sore ankle, but I still get out of my chair slowly due to a perpetually barking hip and a rather picky knee (“You didn’t get up right—take THAT!”). Bursitis in the shoulder, scoliosis… eh, that’s life.
Favorite Beatle? Paul or George, gotta say. Maybe George, actually. Ask me again tomorrow.
Know someone who’s attractive but they don’t seem to realize they are? Sure, plenty of women who are hamstrung by the beauty myth. Sad really.
When you go to the zoo, what animals do you want to see the most?
Usually something reptilian. If a zoo has a komodo dragon, I'll make a beeline for it.
What does our culture misunderstand about beauty, if anything?
How to create a standard for it (whether it's accurate in real life or not) and then exploit it. Oh, sorry, that's what our culture understands about it.
What musical reunion would you love to see? Keep it among living folks please.
I would give a vital organ to see Bob Mould, Grant Hart and Greg Norton reunite for one live blowout as Husker Du. It'll never happen, though - Bob and Grant dislike each other, and Greg hates both of them. I don't think there's ever been a band that disbanded with such residual rancor.
Who wins the Oompa Loompa vs. Munchkin war?
The Oompa Loompas, of course. Between the rhyming insults and the unsettling weirdness, they've got the psychological advantage.
When you were 10, what did you think you’d be doing at this point in your life?
Drawing comic books.
The greatest bag of potato chips on the rack is…?
I haven't eaten potato chips in so long I have no idea.
Does corn belong in picante sauce? Somebody's putting corn in picante sauce?
Have you ever used a fake name?
I don't think so.
What’s for supper tonight?
I had such a huge-ass lunch, probably nothing.
When is the last time you were giddy? Why?
I'd like to say "when I was offered my current job," but to be honest, I think I felt more relief that the wait was over than giddiness at future prospects. I don't think I have it in me to feel giddy anymore. Though I came pretty close when I went to see the DTK/MC5 last year.
Who has great, unrealized potential?
Mariah Carey. She could be the greatest porn star ever.
What charity is closest to your heart?
Ask me again when I'm rich.
Aches, pains… we’ve all got them. Think you’re holding up okay, or is something likely to require some medical attention at some point?
I will probably have to address my indigestion problems someday.
Favorite Beatle?
All of them have been my favorites at some point, even Ringo, who I think is the only one with a sense of humor. But it's hard to say, because with the possible exception of George's All Things Must Pass, nothing any of them did separately was as strong as what they did together, so these days I tend to think of them as one, interconnected, interdepedent entity instead of four individuals. And that was probably a much longer answer than was really necessary.
Know someone who’s attractive but they don’t seem to realize they are?
I honestly can't think of anybody. I think every person I know who I think is attractive knows she is. Not necessarily showy or arrogant about it, mind you, but at the very least cognizant of it.

When you go to the zoo, what animals do you want to see the most?
Reptiles, penguins, and birds of prey. Not necessarily in that order.
What does our culture misunderstand about beauty, if anything?
A so-called beautiful body without an attractive, healthy soul inside it is nothing more than a husk.
What musical reunion would you love to see? Keep it among living folks please.
The original line up of YES. Oh, wait, that already happened...
Who wins the Oompa Loompa vs. Munchkin war?
After years of working for that freak Wonka I'm pretty sure the Oompa Loompas would pound those wimpy Munchkins into the ground. Booyah!
When you were 10, what did you think you’d be doing at this point in your life?
I didn't really believe I'd live past 30.
The greatest bag of potato chips on the rack is…?
Sour cream and onion Ruffles. Mmmmm...
Does corn belong in picante sauce?
No way!
Have you ever used a fake name?
Does my lj name count?
What’s for supper tonight?
I had a very big lunch with Michael. I'll probably just have some iced tea.
When is the last time you were giddy? Why?
Two words: Jason. Falkner.
Who has great, unrealized potential?
Anton Barbeau
What charity is closest to your heart?
SafePlace (Austin Rape Crisis Center/Center For Battered Women) and CASA.
Aches, pains… we’ve all got them. Think you’re holding up okay, or is something likely to require some medical attention at some point?
Nothing that can't be fixed with diet and exercise.
Favorite Beatle?
George Harrison.
Know someone who’s attractive but they don’t seem to realize they are?
Nope.
Georgina
When you go to the zoo, what animals do you want to see the most? Lions
What does our culture misunderstand about beauty, if anything? Jessica Simpson does not equal sexy.
What musical reunion would you love to see? Keep it among living folks please. I can think of three I'd like to see: DLR era Van Halen (if eddie can stay alive), The Police (if Sting could leave his ego at the door), and The Reivers (I'm sure Brian and Michael saw that one coming)
Who wins the Oompa Loompa vs. Munchkin war? Oompa Loompas - they are so scary looking, they have to be bad.asses
When you were 10, what did you think you’d be doing at this point in your life? Baseball player or Olivia Newton John's love slave
The greatest bag of potato chips on the rack is…? Funyuns
Does corn belong in picante sauce? No
Have you ever used a fake name? No
What’s for supper tonight? Sonic
When is the last time you were giddy? Why? Cindy might kill me if I answer this one...
Who has great, unrealized potential? Morgan Ensberg
What charity is closest to your heart? Compassion International
Aches, pains… we’ve all got them. Think you’re holding up okay, or is something likely to require some medical attention at some point? I think I'm developing carpal tunnel in my left hand...
Favorite Beatle? George Harrison
Know someone who’s attractive but they don’t seem to realize they are? Not off the top of my head.
