Extry! Extry! Read all about...some stuff!

Apparently, I have some questions to answer at the behest of Millions of Atoms Man, as Kathryn answered the WRONG QUESTIONS last week! I'll make this quick as I have a show to play this weekend and I must return soon to practicing the riffs for "Holy Diver". For those not in "the know", the song was written by Ronnie James Dio. His songs are all about magic and ridiculousness, and anyone that has read anything I've written on here knows I enjoy the ridiculous to a ridicu...well, you get it. On to my answers!

1. How many M&Ms could you eat in one sitting? Round up.

I feel it depends on the length of my sitting. I'm an expert sitter. I'll say 200. If "She's so Raven" is on TV, double that number.

2. Do you own an iPhone, and why / why not?

I don't own an iPhone. I'll actually answer this seriously. I don't like the base price of the service. I added it all up once and with my current plan options an iPhone with the memory capacity I'd like would cost nearly $600 with a monthly charge of around $160. Please note that this was about a year ago so things might have come down a bit. I do like them though...

3. Describe the first time you were aware that you had feelings for me that went beyond the “criminal suspect” feelings that the Police have for me.

I felt it the moment my eyes scanned your answers to your last tagging. While my pulse quickened upon reading that you really (but actually don't) play guitar, air-murder people, and possess a block of cheese that can make me weep via the power of melody, it reached a pounding crescendo (my heart, not the cheese) when I read about your black light poster of a unicorn-riding Debbie Gibson. I may be a metal head, but I'm not ashamed to say "Lost in Your Eyes" takes me places.

4. Describe the one t-shirt that you should have thrown away five years ago but you still inexplicably find in your t-shirt drawer.

I have a medium sized white t-shirt with the angelic face of Zack Morris airbrushed on it. The artist even added a twinkle to the smile. I'm afraid that if I throw it out, it'll come back and kill me in my sleep. This shirt is the most terrifying thing I've ever known.


5. Why did the new Twilight movie make 30 million dollars in 3 hours?

There's a whole lot of loneliness in the world and it can take many forms. It can take the smell of a perfume worn by a lost love, the sound of an un-returned "goodbye" or in this case the form(s) of screaming hordes of 15 year old girls driven onward by raging hormones with no outlet, a poor taste in literature, Taylor Lautner's abs, and an allowance.

I know it's in poor form to not tag anyone else and keep this party going so here are some questions for some people that I have yet to tag, but will do so by the end of this post. You will be graded on this test.

1. If you could flip a switch and wipe out any band or music of the face of the planet, who or what would it be?

2. If you could re-live any moment in your life, which would you pick?

3. You just bought a time machine from Hammer Fist Explosion Guitar Solo Ltd. Where, or rather, when, are you going to visit?

4. What do you think was, or is, the worst the fashion trend that you've ever seen?

5A. What person, place, or thing makes you the most happy when you think about it?

B. Why isn't it my hair?

One lucky winner will receive a Schwinn bike, a lifetime supply of Bubble Up soda, and this crazed giraffe.

These questions will go to...(drum roll)

A.) Seriously "That's So Raven" was my obsession when I was a freshman in college! (Is this strange?)

B.) Ummmm... this might be kinda awkward, but I'm just gonna ask : Can I have your Zack Morris t-shirt?
haha. I'm seriously jealous!

Ed said...

Zack Morris?

The Fuck???

Dude....Jesse Spanno!

Intense Guy said...

Woooooooooooot wooooooooooo!

I might have a chance to win a crazed Girafe?? ...and to use a gen-u-ine time machine from Hammer Fist Explosion Guitar Solo Ltd!

Life can be good, really good!

Thanks Dan!!

200 M&M's huh... 400 if Raven-Symoné is up to some good fun huh? hmm.... I could watch Anneliese van der Pol for hours and hours and hours myself...

Well played sir. She really is SO Raven, isn't she?

I want to answer your questions even though I wasn't tagged:

1. Lady Gaga. I get the whole performance art thing, but how many lobster-headed mediocre female singers does one planet need? I say zero.

2. The day I first learned how to "Taste the Rainbow". I'll leave this one with no further comment.

3. I would visit Tim Burton's house and beg him not to remake "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." I have days of compelling arguments. I think I could change the entertainment world forever.

4. *looking down at my shirt* *pointing*

5A. Emmanuel Lewis, of Webster fame.

5B. OK, Emmanuel Lewis with your hair? Did I give you enough nightmare material for a lifetime? Apologies.

Those questions are ah-fucking-mazing.

Also, I pictured that Zach Morris shirt and I'm kind of scared now, too.

NEITHER of you tagged me. I feel so jilted! Is that how you spell "jilted?" I don't know.

And just because you are Dan and I know I can do this to you (and it's really fun for me to do this to you), the periods and the commas come BEFORE the closed quotes.

There, I totally schooled you!

Funny thing about that though, when I first typed that "there" up there, I first put "their" and then realized I was totally wrong.

My new android phone kicks iPhone's ass and costs me £20 per month. Of course, now that the iPhone doesn't work if you...um...hold it wrong then methinks the price may come crashing down around their ears pretty soon. ;O)

I bet you can't even remember where you got that t-shirt; it just appeared one night and you shrugged and thought nothing of it until you awoke at 3am, cold...very cold....to find your t-shirt drawer open and a face glinting at you in the moonlight. Your hand shook a little as you reached for it; you didn't want to but felt compelled...and as your fingertips gripped the offwhite cotton, you thought you heard an evil chuckle somewhere in the distance and a wolf howling....

... That's so Raven? I may have lost a little bit of respect for you. She sat behind me at a Dave Matthews/The Roots concert a few years back. Bitch was texting and moaning about how bad of a time she was having to her just as bitchy friend. The entire time. Made me wanna vom, and/or slap her.

So if you would have said, say, re-runs of Blossom, I would have applauded your 400 m&m binge. And probably joined you. :).
