Friday Five's

1. Where are you right now? Weather? Temperature? at work. It's a perfect 72 degrees in here. However, outside the snow storm rages on in it's 16th hour. By the way, Roy... you sit right next to me. Why don't you just ask me these questions yourself? This whole thing about only talking through the internet is kinda creepy. We still on for lunch? 2. What have you lost recently? What were the consequences? more interesting is what I found. I found a mailbox key in my slacks the other day that I clearly hadn't worn for about a year. We spent days looking for that key, as it was our only mail key. After about four days we broke down and paid the post office $15 to install new locks. We were out of our mail for like a week. It's good now though because they gave us 3 keys. The biggest thing about finding the key in my pants is I had to admit it was 100% my fault for losing it. Oh yes, Virginia, lost mail keys come with some pretty heated arguements. 3. What was the first CD you ever purchased? Does that embarrass you now? First CD was Red Hot Chilis... Mothers Milk. Am not remotely embarrased. However, I was about 5 years late to the CD revolution and grew up on cassettes. So a better question would be what was my first cassete purchase: Van Halen 1984. Man what a great record, and perhaps the coolest cover in memory. That baby with the angel wings and the cigarette, this was high level rebellion to a 12 year old. Now a washed up David Lee Roth turns up in cameos on the Sopranos. Is this full circle? Man, being a grown up can be weird. 4. Fountain or Ball Point? ball point, without question. Also, I refuse to use pencils. And it's not just because I am never wrong (reference the page name here, Sherlock). I just hate pencils: the feel of them, the noise they make, how the writing looks after. There is no class to the operation. Maybe I am just hashing through school testing phobias of childhood. While we're here, are there any other kind of pencils than a #2? What the hell was that about? My brother Jimmy is in jail now for using a #3 on his SAT test. 5. Crest or Colgate? Crest, that cinamon stuff that Emeril is currently hocking on TV. It tastes a million times better then the spearmint crap we have been fed all our lives. How is it that just now we're able to flavor toothpaste with something other than mint? I mean, come on America! It's not like we pushed the toothpaste issue on the back burner to cure cancer. No sir, what science has been doing for the last 20 years is making artichokes smaller ever year while still charging the same price. via Roy's page.
