If a squirrel and a chipmunk got in a knife fight, who would fall first and why?
Technically, a chipmunk is a squirrel. But I assume you mean "basic squirrel", and I'd have to go with that squirrel. It's got a nice size advantage and can overpower the smaller, more timid chipmunk.
I'm sorry I haven't been around to harass you as much as I've harassed past BMOTMs. Your stint overlapped with the Walker recall. I do want to throw out a few questions on your way out the door, though...
If I knocked on your door right now and requested an alcoholic beverage, what would be my options?
1-1-12 Bassnectar NYE SHOW! 1-21-12 G. Love and Special Sauce 3-1-12 Radiohead 3-9-12 Experience Hendrix 5-15-12 Jack White @ The Ryman 6-7-12 Bonnaroo 6-19-12 Roger Waters presents "THE WALL" 7-7-12 Ringo Starr's 72nd Birthday Party Extravaganza at the Ryman
If you were going to create some graffiti where would it be and what would it say or be a picture of?
Never thought of it before. Maybe Frodo Lives or something (big LotR fan), and I guess if I can put it anywhere I'd put it somewhere crazy like the top of the White House, or the plaque on the moon.
What talents do you have and would you trade those for other more desirable talents?
Well, my most note-worthy talents would be my talent for writing, politics, logic, etc. I'm lacking in any athletic or musical ability as well as mathematical skills, but I guess I'm content with my academic talents.
Do you think dreams have significance and what was your last dream? What do you think it meant?
I think they're a reflection of your subconcious, so they're certainly significant, and we can learn about ourselves from our dreams at times. I haven't had a particularly noteworthy dream lately, last night I dreamt that I was trying to find the name of the first album by Blitzen Trapper for a scavenger-hunt/trivia contest, but I discovered that Blitzen Trapper had actually released over a hundred albums, and had actually been making music since the 1400's, making it impossible to find their first album. Very random, as I have not listened to Blitzen Trapper in recent memory.
If you had to choose only one spice to use on your food forever (excluding salt/pepper) what would it be?
Tabasco! No question.
At what age do you think you would pause your life, if you could, and why?
I don't think I would want to pause my life forever, but if I did, it would definitely be at a very young and carefree age. 2nd Grade and 5th grade stand out as good points to me. Any older and even if I picked a good time, I would eventually want to move on in life.
I'm sorry I haven't been around to harass you as much as I've harassed past BMOTMs. Your stint overlapped with the Walker recall. I do want to throw out a few questions on your way out the door, though...
I'm sure I'll be able to forgive you. If I ever get another stint, you'll just have to go double on me. That'll likely take years though...
If I knocked on your door right now and requested an alcoholic beverage, what would be my options?
I have a bottle of Absolut vodka in my fridge, my roommate has a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey in his fridge that I would have no problem giving to you, and there's a 12-pack of PBR in the fridge with about half left. Take your pick.
Who is your hero?
Not sure if I have one genuine hero, if anything have a whole list of people who are my heros in various fields. I'm very political, so my political heros might be some combination of George Washington and Barry Goldwater. Other than that, there are a lot of people who inspire me, from Buddha to Ghandi to MLK to Jesus, but I think it;s important to remember the flaws and shortcomings in mankind, so there's nobody I would really put up on that pedestal.
What is the best advice you've ever received?
I would say I've really attempted to live my life by the "Golden Rule" as much as possible. I try to be nice to everyone and be as friendly as possible.
What is the best advice you have to give?
Just in general, on life? I would say enjoy it. Don't spend too much time worrying about the day-to-day things, and usually they'll resolve themselves. Devote time to doing whatever it is that interests you, and pursue your own personal goals.
That's a good one, I could see myself being in the mood for either at any time, but for now I'll have to say vodka and lemonade sounds pretty refreshing.
Any words I have for Beanie Wells would be censored by this board. Keep in mind that I am a Rams fan. So to be eliminated from the Inforoo Fantasy League Playoffs by a running back who destroyed by real team is quite painful.
But seriously, where were Forte and Rice?! 7 points each?!?! My whole time has experienced the most epic collapse ever. I was the only undefeated team for, like, 5 weeks, and then to have a SEVEN GAME LOSING STREAK?! How does that even happen?? The fact that I lost 7 games straight and was still in playoff contention until the penultimate week is saying something I guess, but why couldn't Ray Rice, Matt Forte, Eli Manning and Hakeem Nicks manage to put one winning game together in that span????

I have chosen a replacement for the month of December! One of the most active posters on this board for years, I was shocked to see he had never held the post before. Known, loved, and hated across Inforoo, he is, for better or worse, one of the pillars of the Inforoo community, and I'm sure everyone would love a chance to ask questions and harass him for a month...
I feel that the questions from Inside the Actor's Studio should be mandatory, and should be how each BMOTM starts his or her duty.
What is your favorite word? What is your least favorite word? What sound or noise do you love? What sound or noise do you hate? What is your favorite curse word? What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? What profession would you not like to do? If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?
NOTE: I omitted two questions (what turns you on/off) because they are too easy to make jokes at.
Any difference between how you act in person compared to on the internet?
Hard to say it is probably the way that I say it vs a cold read on a forum,I mean I don't really have any real life enemies and get along with just about everyone I meet.
Why do you still think that a beard is a good idea?
Because women recognize that a man who can grow a full beard in 5 days must have a lot of testosterone and a huge schlong. Seriously though I probably only have a beard 3-4 months out of the year because if I shave everyday when it is cold and dry my skin does not like it. Sometimes I grow one in the summer because I forgot to shave for a few days and I am too lazy to bust out the clippers.
Because people were posting pictures of me from my account on here and I deleted all the inforoo people I did not know personally. If you added me again I am sure I would add you back.

superfluous hazard The surf at a beach car traffic It varies usually my GF and I cuss at each other in cantonese or german these days because of the kids. In english it is probably goddammit. I always wanted to be a history teacher I never want to landscape again Looks like you just made the list, what kind of beer do you like?
Do you think these people are actually smurfs? pretending to be smurfs? Just genuinely fine folks? Insane? or whatever else?

I have never met anyone on this board in person that I have actively disliked. I mean Stallion and I used to get into it back in the day and we sat around chilling at Camp inforoo in '10. I gave Nod one of my "good" beers this year at the brunch, I have never (to my knowledge) met the rest of you but one of our infogooders used to camp with juggs in the listsrv camp back in the day and said he was a pretty laid back guy and easy to get along with in person.
Even with the people I argue with on here I do not really actively hate. I would even like to think I have done some pretty nice things that might have surprised them.
Fair enough. Except Sproat I'm pretty sure he is batshit crazy.
What was the biggest surprise show you went to in 2011?
Best show under $10?
Worst show?
If by surprised you mean surprised I liked it I will go with Big Gigantic at AllGood
The Free show with Pat Mahoney djing that Druid, Teine and I went to in October was pretty awesome. It was empty and he said hi and chatted for a minute, and by the end it was just us, and another friend of mine for like the last 30 minutes. Pat would hold up records and look at us and give the "is this ok" signal then play it if we nodded yes. He must have had over a thousand LPs with him.
I didn't really see anything that was just a train wreck this year, with the kids I really have to pick and choose more than I used to. I will say I was very excited about seeing Toots and the Maytals, and I thought the performance was pretty lackluster and lacking energy. Maybe it was an off night, but he did not want to be there and it showed.
That is the impression I have gotten from Toots the two times I have seen him, not to mention it was exactly the same thing both times despite being nearly 2 years apart
