1. A candle on your desk suddenly starts burning, although there is no
logical explanation (like you lighting it). What do you think/do?

I would unfold my mithril wings and fly to my secret hideout
in atlantis.

Might as well do something impossible if somthing else impossible
happens.

I’m a skeptic. So I’d probably try to figure out the logical explanation,
whatever that may be. It happened, there _has_ to a be a logical, if
not unlikely, explanation.

2. If you could instantly transport yourself anywhere you wanted and be
invisable upon arriving (granted, you can come back when you want),
where would it be?

Debates about what the constituion really was supposed to mean?
(though, I suspect in reality, that would be amazingly boring…)

Building stonehenge/gaza pyramids/easter island statues/any
other mostly unexplained “how did they do that?” construction.

3. What sort of dishes do you like the most?

Corningware, or perhaps pyrex. Cast iron is cool too.
Stay away from the lead cups though.

Or do you mean food? I like cheese, so italian food
of almost any variety is usually at the top. I have a
sweet tooth, so most non chocalate deserts. Seafood
is a good bet as well. Any thai/korean/indian is pretty
good as well. I’ve also recently discoverd my inner
southerner and picked up a taste for barbeque and
fixings (especially hush puppies and corn bread…)

I dont tend to cook much beyond the “heat up something
out of the can” variety.

4. What would be a dream stereo/entertainment system for you?

Heh. For the longest time the only cd player I had was a dinky
~$40 boombox. Then I moved up to a ~$75 noname flashy light
stereo. So, I’m pretty easy to please stereo wise. I’m an
unaudiophile.

Ditto with vcr/dvd. I’ve owned a vcr forever that I think I’ve
used maybe 3 times. I have a 5 disc dvd player that I
recently finally got enough dvd’s to actually fill up. Only
took two years.

I think I’d like a nice huge flat screen plasma display. And
some sort of tivo like device that could also store mp3/ogg,
album covert art, etc. It would be cool if it could record several
shows at once, and automatically skip commercials. And if
does audio files, something that understands the concept
of an album. I almost never want to listen to a particular song,
but an entire album instead.

I think it would be cool to have a nice pair of flat panel speakers.
Maybe about six feet tall. Mainly just because I think they look
really cool. A poweramp/reciever with exposed glowing tubes
would be cool for the same reason.

5. What do you think would be a neater thing to throw than beads at
Mardi Gras?

Beads have an interesting property that they are easy to catch.
So, if you were going to replace them, it should either be something
very hard to catch (just for entertainment value) or something easier
to catch (in the name of progress!).

harder things to catch:
rabid ferrets
broken pyrex dishes

easy things to catch:
Nerf Babies (everyone knows your not supposed to drop babies!)
Bolas

More approriate for the festivities:
food (isnt it somehow associated with lint or something?)
std’s (might as well just save everyone time)
toilet bowl seats (see above)
