Today we ripped off a blogger named Cheryl of the blog Mad Baggage. She states that she ripped it off as well, but doesn’t say where. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time. Take the time to comment on other player’s posts. It’s a great way to make new friends! Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!
Cheers to all of us thieves!
Jack’s Answers
1. Can you cook? Yes, and not just on the barbecue. I frequently impress myself with my ability to follow a recipe and produce a dish not only worth eating, but worth starting a religion around.
2. What was your dream growing up? Beats me. Probably involved naked ladies.
3. What talent do you wish you had? I wish I could fire laser beams out of my fingers. If comic book superpowers are not allowed, I will say that I wish I was a better athlete.
4. Favorite place? Bed. I know that many look down their nose at lazy people who spend their whole lives sleeping – and Warren Zevon was known in part for his 1976 song (and posthumous biography) I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead – but the truth is that an excessive sleep schedule is one thing from my pre-parenthood days that I really miss.
5. Favorite vegetable Corn on the cob, as purchased at a state or county fair. That is to say, fresh off the barbecue and covered with garlic powder, paprika and Tapatio-brand hot sauce.
6. What was the last book you read. Geek Dad: Awesomely Geeky Projects and Activities for Dads and Kids to Share, by Ken Denmead
7. What zodiac sign are you? Leo
8. Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? None of either.
9. Worst Habit? The one I wore during my brief stay at a convent in the South Pacific. Damn thing just wouldn’t fit.
10. Do you personally know anybody on Blog? Does Jill count?
11. What is your favorite sport? Football
12. Negative or Optimistic attitude? I think I’m split pretty much right down the middle. I try really hard to maintain an optimistic attitude, but I have a very prominent sarcastic and cynical side as well.
13. What would you do if you were stuck in an lift with someone of the opposite sex? If it was Jill? Oral sex at the least. If it was my mom? Probably call for help immediately.
14. Worst thing to ever happen to you? I once went the better part of nine months without sex.
15. Tell me one weird fact about you: My left nipple dispenses perfectly-pasteurized chocolate milk, while my right nipple does nothing at all.
16. Do you have any pets? Does Jill count?
17. Do you know how to do the macarena? No. After learning this particular dance by accident, I successfully destroyed the part of my brain that held that knowledge circa 1997.
18. Is the sun shining where you are now? No.
19. Do you think clowns are cute or scary? Scary. Well, maybe not scary anymore, but certainly not cute. At age thirty-five I think I’d classify them as disturbing. As a child, I was deathly afraid of them. This reminds me of Jack Handey’s Deep Thoughts feature on Saturday Night Live in the early 1990s, one installment in particular: “To me, clowns aren’t funny. In fact, they’re kind of scary. I’ve wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.”
20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? I wish I was a little bit taller.
21. Would you be my good angel or bad angel? Depends on who you are. If you’re a hot chick, I’ll be the bad angel that leads you to all sorts of debauchery, but you’ll definitely think of me as being very, very good. And if you’re a dude, I’ll be neither your good angel nor your bad angel, unless you let me sit on your shoulder while you sneak into the girls’ locker room.
22. What color eyes do you have? Brown
23. Ever been married? Yes
24. Bottle or Draft? Draft, please. Easy on the head, though.
25. If you won £10,000 today, what would you do with it? Exchange it for American currency.
26. What kind of bubble gum do you prefer to chew? I don’t chew much gum, but if I had to it would probably be something sweet as opposed to a spicier flavor like cinnamon or spearmint.
27. What’s your favorite bar to hang at? Any bar where I can drink for free
28. Do you believe in ghosts? As I once said in a TMI Tuesday entry, while I am a very rational person and believe that there is a scientific explanation for everything, I know far too many people who claim to have experienced supernatural phenomena to easily discount the existence of ghosts.
29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time? Write. Eat. Watch movies.
30. Do you swear a lot? Fucking A.
31. Biggest pet peeve? Thoughtless people, people who refuse to think for themselves, and pretzel M&Ms. Jill says I should say, “When I meet a woman and we’re not having sex within twenty minutes.” I will state for the record that we technically do not have an open relationship and that she is full of shit. Okay, maybe it still pisses me off, but I no longer expect it. (Note that, since this was the second straight week with a pet peeve-related question, I felt entitled to copy and paste my answer from last week.)
32. In one word, how would you describe yourself? Conscientious.
33. In two words, how would you describe yourself? Sensual lover
Jill’s Answers
1. Can you cook? Yes! Both of my parents are very experienced in the kitchen and I learned from them how to prepare a variety of sumptuous meals from Italian to Cantonese. If you’re ever in the neighborhood, I’d love to cook for you.
2. What was your dream growing up? I wanted to be rich and travel the world. In my twenties and thirties I traveled throughout much of Europe, though not extensively outside of Europe. And while I have never been wealthy, in many ways I feel like I am rich.
3. What talent do you wish you had? I wish I was a better dancer. Dancing is a wonderful way to express oneself, and it makes for great aerobic exercise.
4. Favorite place? Probably Disneyland. It’s the Happiest Place on Earth!
5. Favorite vegetable I love artichokes, espcially grilled with mayonnaise and aioli.
6. What was the last book you read. Some Robert Parker mystery. I can’t remember the name.
7. What zodiac sign are you? Virgo
8. Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? I have one tattoo, and my ears are the only pierced part of my body.
9. Worst Habit? I’m too nice. This frequently prevents me from getting what I want or need.
10. Do you personally know anybody on Blog? Just Jack!
11. What is your favorite sport? Football
12. Negative or Optimistic attitude? Optimistic. I’m a glass-half-full kind of woman, and I tend to see the good in all people and situations moreso than the bad.
13. What would you do if you were stuck in an lift with someone of the opposite sex? Probably make out. It really depends on how long we were stuck. I guess if we were stuck long enough, we might have to have sex for procreation.
14. Worst thing to ever happen to you? I once got ditched in another country.
15. Tell me one weird fact about you: I’ve never participated in a Chinese fire drill.
16. Do you have any pets? No. I have a baby instead.
17. Do you know how to do the macarena? Unfortunately yes. But I haven’t done it in almost fifteen years.
18. Is the sun shining where you are now? No, it’s nighttime, silly.
19. Do you think clowns are cute or scary? Scary. Years of watching movies like Poltergeist, It, and Killer Klowns From Outer Space (thanks Jack!) have turned me off of clowns forever.
20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? I’d love to be taller. I’d love bigger boobs. I guess that’s two things. Bigger boobs then. Or a rounder ass. Can you come back to me?
21. Would you be my good angel or bad angel? Probably good. Deep down I am a good person, but I am very proud of my naughty side.
22. What color eyes do you have? Hazel
23. Ever been married? Yep. In fact, I still am!
24. Bottle or Draft? Draft. Guinness, please! And don’t forget the shamrock!
25. If you won £10,000 today, what would you do with it? Travel the world. As much as I’d love to visit somewhere new, my first stop would be Ireland (for the third time).
26. What kind of bubble gum do you prefer to chew? Strawberry Bubblicious
27. What’s your favorite bar to hang at? One with cute guys, good music, and properly-poured Guinness. I hate bars where they pour you a pint of the black stuff in like four seconds.
28. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes
29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time? I don’t have much spare time these days, but when I have a little I like to read, sleep, bake, and masturbate. I love to masturbate.
30. Do you swear a lot? Yes, especially when I’m driving.
31. Biggest pet peeve? Rude people, and spit bubbles.
32. In one word, how would you describe yourself? Fabulous
33. In two words, how would you describe yourself? Easily aroused
Stopping by from Sunday Stealing links. Both sets of answers made me laugh. I’m looking forward to reading more of your blog!
I enjoyed reading both of your answers. Jack, I can totally relate to the bed being your favorite place response. Mine too. I go to bed extra early just so I can lay in bed and read. It’s my safe haven. Jill, I also wish I could dance better. And spit bubbles are so nasty. I had a friend in high school that used to blow them constantly, 25 years later and it still gives me the willies when I think about it. *Shivers*
Y’all have inspired me to do the Sunday Stealing meme today. 🙂
Great answers. I loved reading your post.
Stopped by for sunday stealing. The corn sounds awesome, will have to try that next time, although as much as I like Tapatio, I like Tabasco better.

Great answers, Jack I think you and I would get along very well. We seem to have the same sense of humor. And Jill’s answer to #33 is always great.
