Hey everybody. Looks like I got double-tagged again. By both

and

And since I got double-tagged, that means anyone who I'm supposed to tag is negated.
So if you're reading this, consider yourself NOT tagged!

So,

"10 things about yourself"
1. My totem animal is the Silver Fox.

But then, you already knew that.

2. I got an A+ in my college Ethics class, due in large part to me taking advantage of a standing author from our Professor that we could get extra credit for bringing in movies to class and briefly showing clips where an ethical dilemma is faced. My professor wasn't counting on me having an enormous, eclectic DVD collection.

3. I buried Paul. Yes, I buried Paul McCartney, my pet zebra finch when I was ten when he died suddenly. Although for some strange reason, after the little funeral, Ringo Star showed up and then danced on Paul's grave. Then he retroactively sung about it in the background of "Octopus's Garden."
[link]4. If you've never had fried parsley... You're really not missing anything. Don't let "The making of a chef" mislead you.
5. After my friend Glenn turned me onto the series, I managed to make my parents, sister, my sisters best friend, a good number of her other friends and a few stragglers I met down in Florida fans of the canceled TV show "Firefly." ... Because you can't take the sky from me.
6. I once hung out with famed Borscht-Belt Comedian Jackie Mason for a little while at a Florida restaurant. When he asked me if I had a girlfriend and I told him no, he asked me if I was a homosexual person. To this day I still think Jackie Mason, incorrectly, thinks I'm gay.
7. I'm a deep and probably pathological perfectionist. I'm just coming up on the end of the rough draft of my third novel, and after three of these things, I finally think I've produced one that stands a chance at getting published. Not that the first two were trifling efforts, as they were each over 300,000 words long. (between 600 and 900 printed pages.)
8. No matter what anyone tells you, if you are a teenager and you have sex on February 29th, you will not be machete'd to death by a maniac wearing a calendar for a mask. How do I know this? ... I'll leave that story up to your imagination.

9. I never felt any grief or loss at Michael Jackson's death. Neither he nor his music ever really had an influence on me. Not that I wished him ill or anything, I was just never a fan. Concurrently, I'm still saddened at the passing of George Carlin.

10. Popular and beloved classics that I did not enjoy or care for at all include "The Great Gatsby" and "The Catcher in the Rye." ... Sorry, I just didn't like them. I say put Holden Caulfield on a 4-year whaling voyage on the Pequot. That should fix his PTSD-ridden psyche.

's questions.
1. Why is he called "Silent Bob" anyway?

Because when Kevin Smith was writing "Clerks," he came to the realization that "I can't act." So he gave himself the part of Silent Bob, and the guy who was originally supposed to play Bob was a guy named Michael Belacos, who ended up being in the movie. He's the guy you see after Dante and Veronica have the fight about how many guy's she'd given oral sex to, Dante yells indignantly at the customer; "MY GIRLFRIEND SUCKED 37 DICKS!" To which the original Silent Bob replied; "In a row?"
He's called "Silent Bob" because Jason Mews "Jay." is thin and always moving, so Smith wrote Michael as his counterpoint because he's the opposite, a little heavier and still.
2. 1 Bourbon, 1 Scotch, or 1 Beer?

Just scotch and beer for me. Bourbon's just okay.
3. Where's my Lucky Charms?

I stole them so you'd buy some actual, healthful breakfast food instead. Get some oatmeal next time.

4. Now, where did I put that dowel?

I have it.
5. Why is there only 3 strikes in baseball? Why not 4?

Because of the Masons. "3" is an important number in sacred geometry. Duh!

6. Do you know the Muffin Man?

Prepare to have your mind blown... I AM THE MUFFIN MAN!
7. Red or white?

I don't see why I can't have both.
8. Anyone else craving cookies?

Always.
9. Since when was the term "algebra" related to 3rd Grade math?


Hamster Jelly.
10. Why drive a Chevy to the levy?

Because Don McLean was subversively trying to give 7th grade teachers an easy reference to get restless, petulant tweens to learn about Sumerian irrigation techniques.
Hope y'all got something out of that.

And just as a little treat, I got a tag by

Who is a very nice young lady who resides in her corner of DA with much artistic flair and talent.

1. What was your first fandom?

Jurassic Park. Back in the DAY, goddamn it!

2. Is there any kind of traditional medium (charcoal, markers, paint, etc) that you usually don't use but want to try to get into?

I think I'm stuck with the camera.

3. If you had to pick four documentaries to watch, what would the subjects be?

Nature, history, science, martial arts.
4. What would be the most difficult thing for you to give up for Lent (if you're not Catholic/Episcopalian/ etc, just pretend you participate)?

... What can I say that's not too incriminating... Candy?

5. How do you like to spend a rainy day?

Writing.
6. What fictional character do you relate to the best or have very strong opinions about?

Either Captian Nemo or Obi-Wan Kenobi... 'Cuz.

7. Do you care if people you know in real life are aware of your DA/Tumblr/FF.NET/etc or do you try to keep it a secret?

Next to no one IRL ever has much lasting interest in my DA page as it is.
8. Who is your favorite superhero and why?

Probably the Cassandra Cain incarnation of "Batgirl." She is straight-up badass. Her backstory is sympathetic, and she is hard, uncompromising and indomitable in the field. If you're a baddie, her hobbies include kicking your ass and fucking your shit up. And on top of all that, they manage to believably balance her warm, human side.
9. What are the top three scariest moments from movies you watched as a kid?

I guess Pleasure Island from "Pinocchio," The psycho tunnel from "Willy Wonka," and Judge Doom from "Who framed Roger Rabbit?" ... I mean, sweet candy-coated Jesus. This guy was more high-octane-grade nightmare fuel than any damn horror monster these days!

10. Beatles or Rolling Stones?

Well, My parents raised me on a steady Beatle diet, so it's going to have to be them.

[link]She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You think you lost your love,
Well, I saw her yesterday.
It's you she's thinking of
And she told me what to say.
She says she loves you
And you know that can't be bad.
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad.
She said you hurt her so
She almost lost her mind.
But now she said she knows
You're not the hurting kind.
She says she loves you
And you know that can't be bad.
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad. Ooh!
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
And with a love like that
You know you should be glad.
You know it's up to you,
I think it's only fair,
Pride can hurt you, too,
Apologize to her
Because she loves you
And you know that can't be bad.
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad. Ooh!
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
with a love like that
You know you should
Be Glad!
with a love like that
You know you should
Be Glad!
With a love like that
You know you should
be glad!
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah Ye-ah.
Well, in order to obtain an animal totem, specifically, in my case, the Silver Vulpine, you need a shaman to enter an astral trance and call the Celestial Silver Vulpine from the heavens and bestow it upon you.
Or if a shaman who can enter a trance is not available, a friend from high school with a long beard on an ecstasy trip will suffice.
Ah, I see. Interesting. Too bad I don't know a shaman or have a friend with a long beard who does ecstasy. LOL
Well, maybe you need to expand your friend base.
And yes. He hobbies also include kicking your face if you're a bad guy.
Oh god, could you even FINISH Roger Rabbit when you were little? I couldn't until I was like twelve.
I guess you can thank my dad for that. Used to listen to them in the car all the time as a kid.
It was a fight to finish Roger Rabbit. That guy was just so terrifying, and then when you get older, you realize it's not just his appearance and voice that's so scary. When you get old enough to actually think about and analyze what he's doing to other cartoons, just ugh. Nightmares.
I couldn't do it without fast-forwarding until I was a good deal older. And you're right, you don't even realize what a ruthless badass he is until you're older...
... But that makes me think... what would a fight between Judge Doom and Cass Cane be like.
