100 Things About Me - Part 3
41. I spent months designing a wargame about the Waterloo battle, but never got past initial playtesting.
42. I have a real pottymouth at times. I probably let an F-bomb slip out in public more often than I realize.
43. I fully support legalization of marijuana. The health dangers have never been proven. The people with a vested interest in seeing it remain illegal (cops, politicians, the alcohol and paper trade) are doing the most to hold legalization back.
44. I'm down to one grandparent, and I fear Grandma Annabel has just about reached the end of her tether. ***UPDATE*** 2/21/05 - I'm now fresh out of grandparents.
45. My first computer bought with my own cash was an Atari 1040 ST in 1988.
46. "The Blues Brothers" and "Trading Places" are my all-time favorite comedy movies.
47. I love elaborate pranks, or those that send a message. Doing a great one without causing damage, injury or getting caught is one of my favorite things.
48. Call me cruel and heartless, but I think that $$$ used for developing for the long term outward expansion of the human race is infinitely better spent than using $$$ to stem the tide of impending Malthusian disaster.
49. I once played Capture The Flag on an empty cruise ship.
50. I used to get up at 6 am just to see Valerie Allain on the "French In Action" PBS language show. "Ah, Mireille, mon choux! Voulez vouz coucher avec moi ce soir?" See, I learned a lot!
51. I like sushi, but I can't bring myself to eat the big red salmon eggs.
52. I sometimes wish I had stuck with metalworking instead of going back to college. I bet I would have made a hell of a machinist. I miss making intricate things with my hands.
53. My personal library has over 3000 books. Unfortunately, most reside in boxes instead of shelves.
54. I like thin crust pizza with sausage, mushrooms and onions.
55. My house is a mess, but my weapons are spotless. At least I have my priorities straight.
56. I believe creating art without skilled technique is akin to cooking while blindfolded and without a recipe. Sure, you'll get lucky once in a while, but most of what you produce will be useless crap.
57. I think I would have been better off in life if I had joined one of the Armed Services right out of high school.
58. I'm partial to Maker's Mark bourbon, Glenmorangie scotch, Barbancourt rum, Gordon's gin and Centenario tequila. I appreciate beer & wine, and have consumed a lot of each, but liquor is my tipple of choice.
59. I'd love to live on a boat, but my indifference to regular maintenance would sink me pretty quick.
60. Given 2000 acres, I'd raise buffalo, longhorn cattle, goats, and a shitload of marijuana.
