Friday morning questions from a conference I'm at
Well, the questions aren't from the conference, but the posting is being done while I am at a conference. So there.

1. Favorite black and white movie

2. What kind of interior is in your car (leather, vinyl, cloth, bucket seats or bench, colors, etc.)?

3. If some kind of magical/scientifically advanced being showed up and offered to take you back in time so you could witness the formation of one of the planets in our solar system over the millions of years it took to form (but in a compressed time frame that would appear to you to be only a few months), would you do so, and which planet would you choose if you did?

4. Seriously, taking all factors into account (diplomacy, economy, safety, war, infrastructure, citizen welfare and opportunities, education, air and water quality and safety, freedom and rights, etc.), who do you think has been the most disastrous president in US history? What would it take to find a president even more disastrous?

5. Do you like Spinach? If so, what is your favorite preparation of it?

8. Gee - way to sidestep the issue of your misogyny.
I expected it no less from you than obfuscation and deflection.

24. Put up a fucking fence, jackass. And I'm tired of paying for your kid's education
with my property taxes, that wouldn't be so high if people like you would stop breeding uncontrollably.

6. answers
1. Favorite black and white movie
12 Angry Men

2. What kind of interior is in your car (leather, vinyl, cloth, bucket seats or bench, colors, etc.)?
cloth. Bucket seats in front, bench in back

3. If some kind of magical/scientifically advanced being showed up and offered to take you back in time so you could witness the formation of one of the planets in our solar system over the millions of years it took to form (but in a compressed time frame that would appear to you to be only a few months), would you do so, and which planet would you choose if you did?
Probably our own planet, so I could see what killed the dinosaurs and how man evolved over time.

4. Seriously, taking all factors into account (diplomacy, economy, safety, war, infrastructure, citizen welfare and opportunities, education, air and water quality and safety, freedom and rights, etc.), who do you think has been the most disastrous president in US history? What would it take to find a president even more disastrous?
I would have to say George W. Bush has been the most disastrous by far - Harding, and a few bad ones before him, at least didn't have their fingers on the Button. A worse president would probably have the same attitude as Bush, only would be smarter and a better speaker.

5. Do you like Spinach? If so, what is your favorite preparation
Yes, I like it. stir-fried, I guess. Not exactly sure if there is another word/name for it.

12. PagerAnswers
  1. Either Harvey or Arsenic and Old Lace or An Affair to Remember (the old one) or Philadelphia Story--a lot depends on my mood.
  2. Cloth, buckets, center console, gray. Sort of stained--it was a used rental. Wish I'd bought a new one for a few thousand bucks more.
  3. Earth--call me limited for not really having that much interest in things outside my own experience, if you will!
  4. ReaganBushBush
  5. Sauteed with garlic and butter, with possibly some feta tossed in at the end. I'd prefer collard greens, though--cooked to death with bacon grease or ham hocks in the pot, then served with vinegar.

18. Answers
1. Hard to answer. Probably Casablanca but all Bogart movies, Marx Brothers, Three Stooges, several old westerns ... quite a few actually.

2. Tan cloth bucket seats.

3. Hell yes, in a millisecond. Mars first, or Earth ... depends on how much he (or she, or it) would permit you to see. Would be really cool to see the rise and fall of the dinosaurs. It would also be really cool to see early Mars' oceans.

4. Easily GWB. Just time. Never know what the future may hold. Be afraid, be vey afraid. pResident Chucklenuts has set a number of precidents and God help us if Congress doesn't patch these loopholes and some future president decides the GWB misAdministration had the right idea.

5. No! However I will eat it in a spinach con queso dip with sour creme and corn chips.
