When it comes right down to it, you would, wouldn'tchya?

Well, I like to think that if any of us really looked deep into our souls and were truthful to ourselves, we would likely find that if we found ourselves in the situation to do it, we would, although we would likely not feel very proud about it.

On the other hand, there are those who have been in that very same predicament and declined to do it. They chose not to do it, even though they realize that they probably should have done it.

Then there are those who did it, and wished that hadn't done it, because they knew it was probably the wrong thing to do at the time.

Conversely, I've always held that if you are in a position to do it, and you don't, you will regret not doing it even though you know that doing it would have not been the right thing to do.

ever been caught..... (doing one arm pullups/ cleaning your rifle/ junior olympic pole-vaulting) in the closet?

This is really the kind of stuff you guys want to know about? Wow!

I must be with the right group of people!

No, to answer your question, I've never been caught. I must admit that my parents were probably skeptical during my "56 minute shower" phase. Funny story (I have a story for everything, if you haven't guessed)...

In high school a guy I was friends with could grow a beard and looked 18 or 19 so he would buy us girly/porn mags... but we didn't settle for Playboy or Penthouse, we wanted to crazy stuff... (this was 1987). So, he buys me this mag called "Oralama," which is a mag about.... well, oral stuff. So anyway, like the moron I am, I brought the magazine into school to show a few friends. During one of the my classes a guy reached into my bag and pulled out the magazine and started to pass it around the room. It went through 3 or 4 people's hands before the teacher (a cool guy who wasn't 100% "there" all the time) noticed something was up. He stopped class and asked "whatever that is, bring it to me". So the guy brings it up and the teacher looks at it, like, WTF?! He asked who's it was, and I raised my hand. Hey! That cost $7.00 - I wanted it back! The girls in class all thought I was a total sleazeball... man, I wonder if any of them remember that... anyway, the teacher just handed it back to me and asked that I keep that material at home. Can you believe it!?

If you ever come out west you have to try a different Donuts shop then Dunkin' Donuts.
I used to live where all there were for donuts is Dunkin's and they are not good, azt that point bagels were better. But west of the Missippi there are better dounuts francises and mom and pop dounut shops.

I tend to go there for the coffee more than the bagels and donuts... but I'll definitely check out some shops next time I'm out west.

I can get behind most of your other beer choices . . . but Grolsch as a winter beer? Are you talking about the regular pilsner, or some other variety that I've never tried?

Honestly, I was running out of options for winter. I like the classic Grolsch pilsner, and I drink it in the winter (and the fall, and the summer, and the spring for that matter) so I threw it down. Other than Corona-esque beers I don't really change it up during the seasons.

Let's be honest. I drink Guinness 90% of the time.

De Niro or Pacino?
Tough call... I like more of De Niro's movies, and I think he's the better actor, but I think he's had more bad movies that Pacino. On the other hand, I don't really like Pacino in general, but some of his movies are simply epic. I guess if I had to make a call for one of them in their prime for a movie I'd go with Pacino.


Alice in Chains or Corrosion of Conformity?
Dude, I'll go with Alice in Chains, but only because I can't really stand singers with growly voices. The problem is, while I SHOULD like AIC, I don't. I don't know why - everything is there, but I just never got down with them.

Girlfriend story for each band...

Saw Alice In Chains open for VH during the F.U.C.K tour. Took my girlfriend Hannah. She was crazy hot. Much too hot for me... She looked like Rachel Hunter. Unreal. But she was 3 years younger (19 and 16) which is probably why I got her. That is why I also never "closed the deal" with her (which is a crying shame). Anyway, The show was awesome, and AIC was really good. They had just come out with "Man in the Box" so that was the only song I knew, but we both listened to them on the way home. Nice memory.

The other... so I'm sorta listening to COC back in the day (college). The album was "Blind" and this guy I'm friends with is a DJ at the college radio station. He introduces me to COC and other harder stuff (Mr. Bungle, etc). Most of the stuff doesn't jive with my musical sensibilities, but whatever. So one day I'm supposed to go to the studio with him and he calls me and tells me to forget it. No explanation. I find out later the next day that he's banging my girlfriend and the two of them are moving to Texas after the semester is over. (She was another knockout. Don't ask me how I got her - I think it was pure persistence on my part). I get hammered that night, walk back to my apartment and wake up on the side of the street as apparently I passed out about 300 feet from my apartment door.

Coke or Pepsi?
Neither. If I drink soda it is 7up. The uncola.

Donuts or Bagels?
I like them both, thank you very much. I guess overall I prefer bagels because they are like a SSH stratocaster - very flexibile. You can eat them straight, put cream cheese on them, create a PB&J sandwhich, eat them with eggs and bacon, etc... My favorite bagel/donut shop is Dunkin' Donuts.

Some history:
Captain Hanson Crockett Gregory was the inventor of the donut with a hole in the middle.

William Rosenberg, the food-franchising pioneer founded the Dunkin' Donuts chain. Rosenberg opened his first coffee and doughnut shop, called the Open Kettle, in Quincy, Massachusetts in 1948. The name was changed to Dunkin' Donuts in 1950.

You can spell "donut" in two ways: Generally, the "donut" is the Americanized version of the British "doughnut".
Have you ever been to Star's Hollow?
Interesting... I have never heard of it so I just Googled it and it is the fictional town in Connecticut used as the setting of Gilmour Girls. Since I have never watched the show I cannot comment on that town. I can, however, tell you a story about the place THAT town is supposed to be based on: Washington, CT. Yes, there is a town in Connecticut called Washington.

I visited said town about 8 years ago on a DJ gig. I used to DJ weddings on the weekends with my buddy Jack. In the summer we'd DJ 5 - 6 weddings a month. Nice money ($900 - 1500 per wedding).

Anyhow, we had a gig in Washington, CT and I'd never heard of the place. We eventually found the place, which is in the middle of nowhere, just north of ain't got a clue. The place is literally 100 years behind the rest of the world. It's like Colonial Williamsburg was teleported to northern Connecticut except all the people don't know they are actors. Anyway, the hall didn't have very many electrical outlets available and we had to run two very long extension cords to get the power to the DJ equipment. Well, as you can guess, people kept tripping on the cords and knocking out the music. Man, you don't want to be there when a bunch of middle-aged white people are dancing to "Do You Love Me" or "Sweet Caroline" and the power goes out. It gets ugly. Especially when the power goes on and the first CD starts spinning out "Gettin' Giggy With It"...
