More Blog Content Lifted From Sheila!
Another blogmeme from Sheila O'Malley, who got it from a blogger named Beth.
1. If you were to be stranded on a desert island and could only have one piece of music to listen to, what would it be?
Johann Sebastian Bach's Brandenburg Concertos.
2. If you had to eat in only one restaurant for the rest of your life, which one would you pick?
I would resurrect the Key West Grill in Arlington, Texas. The place was fantastic before the chef/owner allegedly put all the operating capital up his nose. There were so many good things there. The little muffins with the strawberry butter, the mango/berry house salad dressing, the conch fritters with the fruity/peppery dipping sauce, the perfectly prepared fish...
3. If you could eliminate one thing you do in the bathroom each day, what would it be?
Shaving. Can't stand it.
4. If you could choose the way you will die, what would it be?
While getting shot by a jealous husband as I'm leaving a young wife's bedroom (when I'm in my 90's) has potential, I'd just as soon go out while helping other people survive. You know, holding off the Apaches while the homesteaders make their escape. That sort of thing.
5. If you could have a secret camera in any one room in the world, what room would it be in?
Probably the White House Situation Room.
6. If you had to choose the single biggest mistake you've made in your life, what would it be?
Not keeping my finances and credit in better order. I've had some legal issues in my youth, but the ramifications of the money screwups are having a much greater impact on my life.
7. If you had to pick the worst sexual experience of your life, what would it be?
There's just no delicate way to say this, so I'll just say it. When you're in your 'teens and still capable of performing the deed multiple times in a period of 3 to 4 hours, there's a good reason you might not want to.
Remember when your older siblings or cousins would grab your arm with both hands, twist them rapidly and give you an "Indian burn"? Let's just say that the effect can be replicated on other appendages as well. And, no, Solarcaine didn't help matters any.
UPDATE: OK, after receiving a couple of snarky emails, I apparently need to confirm that there was indeed another participant (a human female, ya pervs!) in the festivities, and this was NOT an act of self-abuse. Let the record further state that in subsequent marathons, usage of KY (aka Der Vienerschlieder) was mandated by the other party involved. That is all.
8. If you could solve one unsolved crime from history, which would it be?
The JFK assassination. Oswald acting alone is about as improbable as the journey of the "Magic Bullet".
9. If you had to name the most important invention in history, what would it be?
Beer. The need to ensure a permanent supply of beer jumpstarted agriculture, permanent settlements, pottery, division of labor, and so on. So, hoist a mug to the Sumerians and Mesopotamians!
10. If you were given a racehorse, what would you name it?
Dog Chow Destiny
11. If you were to become the sex slave of a person from history, who would you pick?
Hmmm... Tough call here. Most of the women from recorded history in a position to maintain a sex slave were either severely kinked, or hideous beyond imagination. So, I'll go for the absurd choice and say Jane Austen. After reading Sense & Sensibility, Pride & Prejudice and Mansfield Park, I think the lady definitely displays a need to be thoroughly rogered on a regular basis.
12. If you could eliminate one of your pet peeves, which would it be?
The severe annoyance that crops up when someone interrupts my reading to ask "Whatcha readin'?"
13. If you could have the world's largest collection of one thing, what would it be?
Real Estate, of both urban and rural types.
14. If you had to murder someone, how would you do it?
Suppressed rifle at 200-300 yards.
15. If you had to have been any dictator or tyrant in history, who would you have been?
Probably Julius Caesar. I'd wear a chain-mail vest under my toga, though, and have the Praetorians on constant alert this time of year.
