ataniell93 who got it from someone else
1. What is your favourite colour?
Blue-violet
2. What is your quest? (Monty Python geeks only.)
A truly ripe plum.
3. Name a movie you think is underrated.
The Secret of NIMH, The Iron Giant, and True Lies all come to mind for different reasons.
4. What book are you reading/did you just finish?
The Witches Tongue by James D. Doss
5. Are you just saying that to impress us?
Dunno - are you impressed by Charlie Moon mysteries? (Or do you have my Dad's sense of humor? I think Mr. Doss does...)
6. Name a quality you envy in a particular person.
My daughter's ability to not lose her cool under circumstances where I would. Oh well...
7. What is most likely to cause blinding rage in you?
Manifest injustice, especially to me.
8. It's your last meal. What'll you have? (Bonus question: Why are you on death row?)
Speaking as the smartalec who always includes a boat in the five things you would take to a deserted island, I think something that generates such amazing smelly gas that I can walk right out the gate because the guards flee in terror. I heard of a guy who was executed for a rather nasty murder (or more - I forget the details. Deliberately.) who chose my favorite ice cream for his last meal. I couldn't bring myself to eat any for a year. Bring me sushi. LOTS of sushi.
9. What superpower would you like to have?
The ability to fly. Fast. Without needing an atmosphere, coupled with some sort of permanent life support, so I can go explore the solar system. (Awhile back I got to thinking about a Champions character I ran way back when who had become an energy being and had similar powers to the above, and realized she would not have taken up superheroing - she'd have signed on with NASA and ferried space probes around.)
10. My God! You've switched genders! Who would you like to look like?
Sean Connery. At any age... (And if I haven't switched genders, that's who I want to look AT. :->)
11. The old dinner-party-with-anyone-in-history chestnut.
Benjamin Franklin.
12. What's your best physical feature?
Hair long enough to sit on.
13. What really terrifies you?
Having to answer the next question.
14. You're shipwrecked. A helicopter pulls you out of the freezing water but your spouse, your best friend and your mother are all in the water and only one can be saved. What drink do you order later to feel better about the terrible ordeal?
See above
15. Who will play you in the movie of your life?
Diana Rigg (well, if George Patton can have George C. Scott play HIM...)
16. Name a song that transports you to another time. Do not attempt to be classy.
The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B. Or anything at all sung by the Andrews Sisters.
17. You're jammin'! You're the best, at your peak! Check your shit OUT! What instrument and with what band?
My voice, The (formerly Grateful) Dead. OK, maybe Spike Jones and his City Slickers if I can pick any era.
18. What current trend bothers you?
Backless sports shoes. OK, that's probably over by now, but for awhile there... sheesh!
19. The Amish. Cool or uncool?
Cool.
20. Which New Years resolution are you most likely to blow first?
Years ago I made a New Year's resolution to stop making New Year's resolutions. I've kept it thus far, but of course if I make one that'll be blown.
