Still regret not doing it.<BR/><BR/>3) What talent do you wish you had?<BR/><BR/>Drawing. <BR/><BR/>4) If I bought you a drink what would it be?<BR/><BR/>Pertsovka. Neat. Four fingers. Chilled to near-freezing. With a pickle chaser.<BR/><BR/>5) Favorite books?<BR/>Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien<BR/>Any later Terry Pratchett<BR/>Anything by H. Beam Piper<BR/>The Road to Serfdom by Hayek<BR/>The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov<BR/>Moscow 2041 by Voinovich<BR/>Principles of Polymer Chemistry by P.J Flory<BR/><BR/><BR/>6) What was the last book you read?<BR/>The Glory and the Fall of the Ming Dyansty by <BR/><BR/>7) Astrology: Menace to science education or entertainment?<BR/>Menace – it degrades people’s natural bullshit filter to even entertain the thought for more than 3 microseconds.<BR/><BR/>8) Any tattoos and/or piercings? Explain where.<BR/>First of all I’m a Confucian. Respect the body your parents gave you. Second, I’m pretty hirsute, body hair-wise. Body hair + piercings? Ick. Third, you do know that kanji tat says “stop woman flow”, right?<BR/><BR/>9) Worst habit?<BR/>Cussing when I’m driving.<BR/><BR/>10) Best attribute?<BR/>I never forget from whence I came.<BR/><BR/>11) What are your favorite hobbies?<BR/>Hiking<BR/>Fishing<BR/>Shooting<BR/>Kickboxing (getting’ too old for that one)<BR/>Reading history<BR/>Speaking foreign languages. <BR/><BR/>12) Do you have a negative or optimistic attitude?<BR/>I’m paid to be a bullshit filter, so I’m a realist. Occasional flights of optimism, occasional drops into cynicism.<BR/><BR/>13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?<BR/>Hope you used deodorant today?<BR/><BR/>14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?<BR/>Not finishing college before my father died.<BR/><BR/>15) Best thing to ever happen to you?<BR/>Meeting my wife and having my kids.<BR/><BR/>16) Tell me one weird fact about you.<BR/>I can move my eyes back and forth so fast the whole world becomes a blur. It makes some people motion sick just to watch me.<BR/><BR/>17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?<BR/>My welcome mat reads: “You’d better have a warrant.”<BR/><BR/>18) What was your first impression of me? (Since I swiped this list from Camille Alexa's site, I'll answer her).<BR/>After reading one of your weirder posts on the ‘e’ looking at your profile and thinking “Navy, it figures”.<BR/><BR/>19) What scares you?<BR/>Senility.<BR/><BR/>20) If you could change one thing about how you are, what would it be?<BR/>More discipline.<BR/><BR/>21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?<BR/>Conscience.<BR/><BR/>22) What color eyes do you have?<BR/>Blue-gray.<BR/><BR/>23) Ever been arrested? If so, what for?<BR/>Never in the US. I’ve been detained twice by identified KGB, and once I was given an offer I could not refuse to translate for the Moscow police and personages who did not identify themselves, but whom I assume were KGB.<BR/><BR/>24) Favorite dessert?<BR/>Red velvet cake. <BR/><BR/>25) If you won $1000 today, what would you do with it?<BR/>By my wife a new camera.<BR/><BR/>26) Tell me something you want me to know about you.<BR/>I actually was a competent scientist before joining the Dark Side. I’m a bit defensive about that, actually.<BR/><BR/>27) What's your favorite place to hang out?<BR/>The back yard.<BR/><BR/>28) Do you believe in ghosts? Aliens?<BR/>I once saw something I thought was a ghost. But I’m a scientist, so I have extreme doubts. Aliens? I believe in extra-terrestrial life, but I don’t believe we’ve been visited.<BR/><BR/>29) Favorite thing to do in your spare time?<BR/>Play with the kids.<BR/><BR/>30) Do you swear a lot?<BR/>Too damn much.<BR/><BR/>31) Biggest pet peeve?<BR/>16 years later and I’m still cheesed about college students with entitlement complexes. Yes, I was a TA. Yes, if you bugged me about your grade all semester, I sought out your final to grade with an especially loaded red pen. What, you thought Professor Big Shot graded all those finals himself? HAH.<BR/><BR/>32) In one word, how would you describe yourself?<BR/>Tired. I have 2 kids under 6.<BR/><BR/>33) Do you believe in/appreciate romance?<BR/>Let me repeat. I have 2 kids under 6.<BR/><BR/>34) Most unusual place you've had sex?<BR/>The statute of limitations is not up on that one.<BR/><BR/>35) Do you believe in an afterlife?<BR/>Yes.
