Which TV chef would you want to have prepare a meal for you?
Alton Brown hands down.
Why? Because the dude is the MacGyver of cooking. He uses science and humor to prepare some of the best food I've ever had the pleasure of eating. Compliments to the wife.
What's your favorite song with "America" or "USA" in the title? Bonus points if you share it with us.
Americana by The Offspring
Well I'd like to tell you all about my dream, it's a place
Where strip malls abound and diversion's mere moments away
Where culture's defined by the
Ones least refined
And you'll be left behind
If you don't fit in
It's all distorted
In americana my way
Well fuck you
Whoa Whoa Whoa
Well my dream has come true
Whoa Whoa Whoa
My vision has come true
Now give me my cable, fast food, four-by's, tats right away
I want it right now cause my generation don't like to wait
My future's determined by
Thieves, thugs, and vermin
It's quite an excursion
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In americana my way
Well fuck you
Whoa Whoa Whoa
Well my dream has come true
Whoa Whoa Whoa
My vision has come true
It's all coming true
I'm a product
Of my environment
Don't blame me, I just work here
But I wanna fuck you!!!!!
My rights are denied by
Those least qualified
Trading profit for pride
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In americana my way
Well fuck you
Whoa Whoa Whoa
My nightmare has come true
Whoa Whoa Whoa
My nightmare has come true
Yeah, it's all coming true
Yeah, it's all coming true
What question do you hate being asked?
I know I've been posting very rarely these days, but I've had so much going on in my life, that I've been hesitant in posting here. So to answer this question about questions...
I hate being asked any questions commonly associated with small talk. You know these.
How are you?
What are you doing these days?
How's the weather?
What's new?
etc.
Upon people learning my last name:
Hey! Have you seen the movie Groundhog Day? (This one doesn't get asked very often, but every time I tell people my last name, I anticipate this question.)
Actually, I generally hate any question from people I don't know and aren't comfortable with.
Who was the meanest teacher you had in school?
The Huebner!
It was apparently female. The details are hazy as this was in 2nd grade. This 'woman' had it out for me. I'm pretty sure she was out for blood when it came to me. I must have done something to piss her off at one point, but it was so long ago, I don't remember.
She made it a point to humiliate me in front of the class, punish me for minor things, etc. It got so bad that my parents got involved.
What is your definition of cheating?
In general life: Making any personal gain through illicit means.
In relationships: Having any sort of intimate relationship with someone when already in a committed relationship with someone else.
Which popular slang expression drives you nuts?
I know the question is asked in singular, but I couldn't possibly name just one. There are too many that annoy the hell out of me equally. Most of it is ghetto retard bullsh*t.
Now, the whole language that Snoop Dogg invented where everything starts out sounding like it's coinciding English word with an izzy, zouse, etc doesn't bother me. That is, unless that's the only thing someone speaks in while expecting other people to take them seriously. Otherwise, I see it as a modern day version of Pig Latin reserved for friends joking around amongst each other.
However, what causes the veins in my forehead to pulsate with unending fury and rage, the kind of rage found in the fist of an angry god, are words like 'Bling'.
It's like the media practically shoves this down our throats now. Even people older than time, like Joan Rivers, have used this word.
I guess they did need to shorten the original word. I mean, it's hard to continually put "I am an ignorant piece of crap that happened upon money one day through the exploitation of my 'talent' and decided to waste it on hideous material things that further accentuate just how retarded I am" in a sentence. Falling into this category are 'Grillz'. You can see the astute gentlemen in my accompanying picture sporting this fine piece of jewelry. I expect for future payment of any of my wrongdoings in life, my child will one day come home wearing one of these. There will then be the dilemma of allowing them to live further or removing them from the gene pool for the greater good.
Now we trek into the land of ignorant ghetto parents who have difficulty with the solution to 2 + 3, but are allowed to have children much to the chagrin of the rest of us. I present to you, 'Baby's Daddy' & 'Baby's Momma'. Yes, ladies and gentlemen. It is now acceptable to bear children with someone only to leave them and then be labeled as one of these. Why? So, the other person can live in denial of ever being a whore/man-whore. By given no acknowledgment to ever having had a relationship with this other fine quality human being, the other person escapes these derogative labels and are free to raise upstanding little snowflakes. Being responsible has no place in society after-all.
Another gem is 'hater' and/or its variation, 'hatin'. I frequently see these used by the MySpace crowd and 12-year olds...excuse the redundancy. These just annoy the crap out of me. I think it's because the context they're always used in. You don't like something, so your unedumicated adversary immediately comes back with this as some kind of weak insult. I will give an example. This was found by doing a quick Google search:
"I don't have to hate haters because I understand that hating is their way to express their emptiness and self-imposed misery."
Since when did having a negative view of something indicate someone is empty or forcing misery upon themselves? Bah! I do not force misery upon myself. It's the ignorant masses of humanity who make statements like this in defense of their position that cause me misery. I mean honestly, who is really going to be bothered by this statement? I'm a hater? My god man!! I knew there was a word for my dislike of your position. Thank you Captain Obvious. I have truly seen the light.
Stop being stupid and I'll be happier than a tornado in a trailer park!
Do you have a particular "catch phrase" for which you are known?
Submitted by Emu with a Clue.
EDIT: On many occasions, I am known to use the term *facepalm* in IMing or everyday conversation as a sign of contempt and disgust at the world around me.
I'm a happy clown.

What is your favorite quote and why?
My favorite quote is definitely this:
"I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill." - Gandhi
If more people were like Gandhi, there'd be fewer problems in the world.
On another note, here are a few others I'd like to mention that I'm partial to:
- Receptionist: How do you write women so well?
Melvin Udall: I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability. - As Good As It Gets- Alas! those good old days are gone, when a murderer could wipe the stain from his name and soothe his trouble to sleep simply by getting out his blocks and mortar and building an addition to a church. - Mark Twain
- Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
- Martin Luther King Jr.- Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. -H. L. Mencken
- How much longer are we going to think it necessary to be ''American'' before (or in contradistinction to) being cultivated, being enlightened, being humane, and having the same intellectual discipline as other civilized countries? -Edith Wharton
- Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change. - Malcolm X
Bonus Round: Least Favorite Quote
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. - John Stuart MillI hope an event comes in my life where I can show Mr. Miller how much of a coward I am. He's right about one thing. War is not the ugliest of things. The belief that there is no other solution is.
Love it or hate it, many of you lost an hour of sleep last night due to Daylight Saving Time? Worth It? Do you like it more/less now that Daylight Saving Time occurs earlier (and later) in the year?
I like it when I gain an hour of sleep, but hate it when we lose an hour like last weekend. Blargh.
