An LIB Original Survey

Hmmmm....... alot of you out there are filling out various online surveys. In the interest of doing something just to do it, I've compiled one of my own (with a little help from a few of you folks) this morning. Here goes nothing......

1.) Which Baldwin brother do you favor most? Alec, Billy, Steve, or Fat?
Alec gets the most press, but I like Daniel (aka "Fat" Baldwin) b/c he has some comedy value in being the least known of the four

2.) Indian food or Spanish Tappas?
Oh man, I'm not fond of either....but if cornered it would have to be Tappas. I'd only eat one snail though

3.) For your HS yearbook, what would you most likely to be voted as?
Most likely to skip the reunion and only stay in touch with those he wanted to

4.) What is your middle name? If asian....what does it mean?
Yung-Ta and the literal translation means "Forever Prosperous"

5.) When was the last time you got mad enough to make your face turn beet red?
When I got into my only car accident a few years ago and my adjuster tried to rip me off

6.) A kick in the groin from a friend or a punch directly in the head from Mike Tyson?
I'd take the kick. Better to be sterile than on life support

7.) Prince William or JFK Jr.?
William will be king, but I'd side with John John mainly b/c he also searched a long time for his purpose

8.) What is something you enjoy that other people give you grief over?
Being myself

9.) When was the last time you enjoyed seeing someone stick their tongue out at you? Or you to someone else?
I still do it from time to time for fun, but it was cute when Jenna Bush did it to the photographers while campaigning for her father

10.) Longest time you've been interested in someone and did nothing?
Heh, people from Orleans will love this one..... 9 years. Stupid kid

11.) Traditional handshakes or gangsta grips?
I like a firm handshake despite not really having one

12.) Embarassing poster that you had in your room as a kid?
I had one of Shannen Doherty from her 9021o days

13.) Fall or Spring?
Spring, b/c out here everything comes back to life

14.) Most memorable scene from a movie?
Sliding Doors when Gwyneth goes blonde and whirls her head around to smile. *Sigh*

15.) An obscure musical artist that you admire that your friends my not have heard of before?
Suzanne Cianni

16.) Craziest food that you've ever eaten?
Nutria, a swamp rat the size of a dog

17.) Would you rather lose both of your big toes or both of your thumbs?
I'd keep my toes. Don't know if this is true, but you wouldn't be able to walk w/o them?

18.) Who do you think would win in a fight between Linda Hamilton from "Terminator" and Demi Moore from "G.I. Jane"?
I'd have to go with G.I. Jane b/c of the military training

19.) Cooler....girls who can eat or guys that are in touch with their feminine side?
I'll take the sister who can hold it down. Steak buffet style

20.) Where were you on Sept. 11th 2001?
In China, at a medicinal foot bathing place, chatting away with my version of Aurelia

21.) How do you think you'd respond when finally meeting Jesus upon his return?
I'd probably feel the tears well up out of gratefulness; would also ask for forgiveness yet again

22.) How long do you think you could last on a mechanical bull? Would you laugh at someone who fell off?
Not very, got tossed easily the first and only time; I would laugh so hard...unless it was a rough fall

23.) Create a nickname for yourself...what would it be?
Lizard....I'll take lizard any day

24.) If you could be a vampire, minus eternal damnation and surviving on alternative blood sources, would you?
I bet only JBK and myself will say yes to this one

25.) If you got pulled over by a cop for speeding, what would you pull to try and get out of it?
Admit my guilt and hope he/she has mercy on me ; they would probably give me a second one if I batted my eyelashes and smiled...=)

Spyda Man Takes the Contract

Don't have much time tonight, but I have to share my thoughts on something that I caught on TV while flipping during a break. For those of you who know and care about the And 1 Streetball show....they finally aired the last episode and the winner was this guy nicknamed Spyda. He actually was the runner up from last summer's show, but this guy came back around with a target on his back and outlasted every person he went up against.

My thoughts....the guy wanted it BAD. In my opinoin, he should have won last year rather than the Professor. Spyda came back this season packing on some added muscle (looking like a spider on steroids) and was as aggressive as ever. He frustrated another player to the point of desertion. A player who at the time was the guy to beat.

The older I get the more my interest wanes with this kind of stuff. Something inside me will always love this game though. Especially when you see someone get so close, go back into the lab and tinker with stuff, then return with a mighty vengeance.

Ok, back to the mines.
