You Say Tomato, I Say Clamato
by Michele Christopher

We kind of stumbled onto the idea for this weekend's editors' picks.

Well, let's be honest. We were all feeling a bit lazy today. So we took the lazy man's way out. Pre-fabricated questions, designed for quick, witty answers. Or quick, boring answers. Depends on your viewpoint, I guess. Anyhow, one of said, let's do the ten questions from that Actor's Studio show, and another one of us said, hey, we have our own ten questions. So we decided to do both. Because, really, you can never know too much about the editors of FTTW. No such thing as Too Much Information here. The more you know, the more you.......ok, enough filler. On with the questions (Dan and Turtle will post theirs tomorrow).

These are from Bernard Pivot, and were stolen by that douche bag from Actor's Studio.

1. What is your favorite word?
Serendipity. It makes me smile.


2. What is your least favorite word?
Clamato. I know, it's a product, not really a word. But it makes me feel dirty for some reason. Dirty and queasy. Like someone has been eating an unclean vagina.

hahaha.jpgMoot. I hate that word because it always sounds like you mean something else that you aren't saying right. It's like the noise a retarded owl would make. Or an owl that mated with a cow. Wouldn't that be something?

3. What turns you on [creatively, spiritually or emotionally]?
Nature. Warm weather. A killer bass riff. Jessica Alba naked. Sharing a good laugh. Being in love. Romance. A clown suit with an attachable 15 inch strap on.

One of those things is not true.

4. What turns you off?
Arrogance. Stupidity. Selfishness. Lack of personal responsibility. Pit stains.

5. What is your favorite curse word?
I like the old classic standby of motherfucker. Can be used in so many ways, in so many circumstances.

6. What sound or noise do you love?

Waves crashing on the beach. Rain. Most music. Turtle's voice. My nephew's laugh. Nelson saying "HA! HA!"

7. What sound or noise do you hate?

Squealing tires. Sirens. Air horns. Balloons popping. Any kind of sudden popping sound. Silverware on teeth. 98% of ringtones. The alarm clock going off.

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Reclusive, eccentric hermit who lives in a mansion.

9. What profession would you not like to do?
I can think of plenty, and they all involve either some form of human waste, water, or both.

10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
"ARE YOU READY TO ROCK AND ROOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL??!!."

And now for our Ten Quick Questions, which in no way are derivative of that other guy's questions. They are better, more fun and weren't stolen by a douche bag.


1. Who are you?
I am, I am superman. And I can do anything.

2. Zombies - undead monstrosity or the next logical step in human evolution ?
There will come a day when zombies will rule the earth. And I will be there, acting as a liason between the undead and the soon to be dead. I have my resume all ready. I just know I'll get the job.

3. Young Elvis or Fat Elvis?
Velvet Elvis. Or...Velvis.

4. If you were a superhero, what would your name be?

5. You are the last man on earth, and it is your job to perpetuate the human race, whether you like it or not. Your choice of potential mates is between Wonder Woman, the Bionic Woman, Super Girl or Wilma Flintstone. Which one do you choose?

Well, first I would have to adjust to the fact that I'm a man. I mean, you go ove 40 years walking around with a vagina and all, and suddenly you have a penis, that's gonna take some getting used to. Once I spent some time masturbating and peeing standing up and adjusting my balls, I'd take Wilma Flinstone into a dark alley and bang her like Fred never could because he was too damn fat to do it right. But I'd bang her just for fun. Because I'll be damned if I'm gonna repopulate the world with just one chick. That would mean that our kids would have to do each other in order to get humanity going again. That's gross. Then again, it's what Adam and Eve must of have done. And Noah. Once that ark hit dry land and they had to start over again...well, I don't really want to think about this. Humanity is going to die a sordid, lonely death before I repopulate it with inbreeding. The last thing Mother Earth would hear is Wilma screaming "Yabba Dabba Doo!"

6. What was your first car?
73 Omega

7. If you were going to show me around your city/town, where's the first place you would take me?
I'd take you to the housing development that is where my junior high school used to stand. Because that pretty much sums things up around here. Have land, will build McMansions.

8. What's the last album you bought?
Go National, Got My One Good Eye On You. Really cool stuff from Kevin Seconds (7 Seconds) and his wife.

9. Do you have an arch enemy? Would you like one?
Yes. It's name is Anxiety.

10 What's the title of the movie they are going to make about your teenage years?
The Girl Who Thought Led Zeppelin Lyrics Were Meaningful (subtitled: This Is Your Brain On Drugs).

Alrighty. That's 20 questions asked and answered. And now you know more about me than my mother.

Anyone else care to answer?
