20q

this set of 20q is from bryan.  he's a contractor in my office, and he's really intelligent.  i've got a lot of respect for him.

1. your most cluttered piece of furniture?
Pick one...  anything with a flat surface in my house becomes a collection point for mail, baby stuff, keys, origami, you name it.  I can't even remember what furniture I own any more.

2. what makes you laugh the hardest?
When a snake shoots across the room and latches onto someone's neck because, what *is* that thing?  ;-)  Ok, Jack Handey probably makes me laugh the hardest.  No, wait, Triumph the Comic Insult Dog.  I keed, I keed!

3. bedtime?
Around midnight lately.

4. cry when you laugh hard?
I've been known to tear up a little.  What are you lookin' at?

5. who do you feel sorry for?
For people who are "diagnosed" as HIV-postiive and put on AIDS chemotherapy drugs (AZT, protease inhibitors, etc.), guaranteeing a needless, painful death.

6. last webpage you saw?
MSNBC.  What do you *think* I do at work all day?  ;-)

7. solid or patterned?
Solid, except for my car.

8. how do you feel about the french?
They've got more moral fortitude than we do lately.

9. freshwater or saltwater?
Freshwater.  You ever try to swig a tall glass of saltwater?  That stuff will kill you, no joke.

10. if you had to spend $100 by the end of the day, what would you spend it on?
Flowers and a bottle of Maker's Mark for my girlfriend (to whom I'm married).

11. diet or regular?
In the name of all that does not suck: regular.  Diet: ew.

12. last person you hugged?
John Sorensen.

13. paper or plastic?  [groceries]
Plastic... not for any particular reason other than they don't really ask much any more, and you just get the plastic.

14. paper or plastic?  [money]
Debit plastic, but definitely never credit plastic.  I've learned my lesson, and I have the credit report to prove it.

15. who do you want to flick off right now?
W.

16. steve martin or bill murray?
Bill Martin.  They're both brilliant, and I can't choose.

17. fruit or vegetable?
Ribeye.

18. latest passion?
The HIV/AIDS fallacy.  [http://www.duesberg.com/]

19. what is this world coming to?
Get off my lawn, you little brats!  Actually, we're coming to civil war if the cavalier Republicans don't stop taking from the poor and giving to the rich, I guarantee it.  You can only poop on the little guy so long before he doesn't have anything to lose.  The Republican party is great at trying to figure out exactly how long is "so long."

20. what are you tired of?
News articles sophomorically referring to the "AIDS virus."  HIV is a virus, and there's no proof that it causes AIDS.
