If you had the ability to take a pill everyday forever and change one thing about yourself would you and what would it be? What if the pill made you absolutely crazy for one week a year?
No, I wouldn't. I believe that a person's worst traits often are their best traits. For example, I was thinking that my answer might be that I would like to get less annoyed with people I work with at Cheesecake. But then I realized that what annoys me is the fact that they don't care about the restaurant. The reason why it bothers me SO much is because I am so passionate about everything I do- including work. Would I want to remove my passion? Absolutely not.
Do you crush on people often? Do you ever follow through with your crushes? Have they worked out.
Actually, I rarely develop crushes. I've been single for almost five years and I would say that I've had... maybe 2ish crushes a year? I've only acted upon 3 of them off of the top of my head. I will go through phases where I think everyone is soooo cute (I usually keep my mouth shut, though), then a spell where I barely notice anyone.
Would you rather be without shoes in the summer or sunglasses?
EEASYYYY! Without shoes. I spent a lot of my childhood barefoot and I am still known to get into my car without shoes if I am just picking somebody up or dropping them off. Sunglasses, on the other hand, are a necessity.
What is your catch phrase?
Hmm... I say, "You've got it dude" (ala Michelle Tanner)a lot. I'm also known for making sound affects. I don't even notice that I do it, but people point it out- does that count? Also, a guy that I i sued to date makes fun of my for saying "literally" too much.
What teacher had the greatest impact on your life, what did they teach you?
I had a class with my choir teacher for 7 full year classes total in high school (4 years of select girls choir and 3 years of the general chorus). He was very passionate and understanding.. an overall good role model.
How long does it take you to get ready to go out?
It doesn't take me too long to go to work, but if I really am going "out out" it'll take me at least an hour and a half. To do my hair down and straight takes upwards of 45 minutes alone. I have A LOT of hair. That's why it's not done like that often.
Do you think there are Aliens from other planets?
I'm sure there is intelligent life somewhere.
Have you ever been visited by one?
There was this one really awkward time.... Nope, if they exist, I don't believe they are visiting us.
What have you not done yet, but want to, because of fear?
Get married? Relationships are scary. I don't have much physical fear. I've been skydiving.
What quality do you have yourself that you loath in others?
Indecisiveness.
What is your favorite commandment?
I actually had to just look them up because I only knew a few off of the top of my head. I want to say 5. Honor thy father and thy mother.
Do you meditate?
I don't think I have the time nor the patience. I guess when I stare out into the rain (see LD's last questions)- that would be the closest that I get to it
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
What's the sweetest thing a guy can say to a girl?
Oh man! I don't know specifically, but I know the compliments that seem out of nowhere REALLY make weak at the knees. Saying "you look beautiful" when you are all dressed up and ready to go out means much less than, "you have such gorgeous eyes" when you are just eating dinner at home.
How do you prefer your potatoes: baked, roasted, fried, hash-browned, tater tot-ified or mashed?
When I was young, I asked for a "potato only" birthday dinner. And I allowed NOTHING else- not even chicken nuggets. It included most of the above and then some. And for most of my life, I have always considered potatoes delish with mashed potatoes (lumpy and with skin) being my favorite. Lately, I have been changing my tune. Literally two days ago I had a conversation with a friend about how boring I find potatoes lately and how I think that I have lost my taste for them.
How do you like your eggs: scrambled, hard-boiled, over-easy, sunny-side up, or deviled?
Generally, I make my eggs sunny side or lightly poached. I looooooove me some runny yolk!! I also use hard-boiled in salads sometimes (and have one in my salad today for lunch) and egg whites for scrambles with large amounts of veggies
Liquid or bar soap?
Liquid. Liquid. Liquid. I actually quite hate bar soap.
Lipstick or lip gloss?
I don't really wear either (something that my mom has ALWAYS yelled at me for, "Bonz, you look so pale!!!" But I do own both and the once a month or so that I remember to put either of them on, I feel super pretty
Would you rather live: in a crowded place where you don't look like the locals & cannot speak their language (think: remote village in Africa) or in a big, quiet place where everybody looks like you & speaks English (think: rural Alaska or Wyoming) ...except you live alone and the nearest person lives 100mi away?
OYE. Tough. I hate crowded places, but I also hate being alone. My answer is the second option, I think.
What's the most awesome ice cream flavor ever invented?
I don't much ice cream, but when I do it's cookies n cream!
What is your favorite moment of the day? (not necessarily a time on the clock but that "aaah" moment that you love most)
I think moment that the caffeine first hits the brain (not necessarily the first sips). Ahhhhh !
Who on this board needs to STFU most?
I plead the fifth.
and finally...
You & I are mixing up a special Super Fun Festival Drink to enjoy @ Hangout: what's in it and what's it called?
I'm picturing a flirtini meets bellini type drink. And we shall name it.. a Sun-Baked Babe.

D'oh! I've had quite the month. Used to checking this thread way more than I have been since November. I'll bite, and sorry if there's any repeats:
Who is your favorite comedian? Who is your favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle? What is your favorite curse word? Who is your hero? What did you do on the busiest day of your life? If I came to your residence and asked for an alcoholic beverage, what would be my options? What is the best advice you have ever receieved? What is the best advice you have to give?

If you could quietly exterminate any public figure who would it be and why?
Do you dream often and if you do, do you have a reoccuring dream? What is it?
Are you a list maker?
If you decide to have children how many will you want and why that number?
Do you find people who have pets hanging on them strange? (Think snakes, lizards, mice)
Would it be more fun to be Britney Spears or Ke$ha for a day?
Would you rather someone ramble on about a subject you care nothing about or ramble on and you have no idea what they are talking about. Something like a wook where moments of clarity are few inbetween.
If you could have a spot at Bonnaroo to give/sell/get your message out whatever you wanted what would it be. This is assuming that all funding is taken care of.

Who is your favorite comedian?
I don’t necessarily follow any. Roo and the occasional show in college have been the extent of my exposure. I do love me some Conan, though
Who is your favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
I think Michaelangelo was my favorite.
What is your favorite curse word?
D. None of the above. I don’t really swear.
Who is your hero?
My mom who finished her dissertation while being a single mother to three. In later years as she worked crazy hours (I know where I get it from…), she still managed to have the fridge full of delish meals to reheat. Often, there would be a hot egg sandwich all wrapped up and waiting for me to eat when I woke up in hs.
What did you do on the busiest day of your life?
??? My answer would have to be a non-work day, as I am always busy with work (today, for example, I am working at least 17 hours)..
If I came to your residence and asked for an alcoholic beverage, what would be my options?
Wine (at least 6-7 bottles and a box available at any given moment, but usually all reds, sometimes a PG or a bubbly), Ketel One, Absolute Mandarin, Tanqueray (for my parents when they are over, I hate it), a few bottles of tequila from Mexico, assorted beers ranging from Bud Lights to nice craft beers. I might like to drink. Oh and homemade Kahlua and Lemoncello.
What is the best advice you have ever receieved?
I have to say that I am a little hard headed and don’t like to listen to advice. Even if I complain, I usually am looking for a sympathetic ear rather than options to fix the situation. My mom’s number one rule in life is, “no matter what you do, look good doing it” Does her motto count as advice?
What is the best advice you have to give?
I love quotes and these quotes are some of my favorites.
"Being happy doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It means you have decided to look beyond the imperfections"
"Sometimes the best things in life are worth waiting for"
“Never frown, even when you’re sad. You never know who is falling in love with your smile”
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I’m really digging Once Upon A Time right now. (I really only watch the dramaesque shows)
Do you watch a lot of trashy TV?
Close to nil. I basically watched my few DVRd shows and that’s about it. American Idol is the only reality that I watch.
Kdogg brings cheese to Brunch. What wine will you have with it?
Depends. Is it the cheese on his head?
How was life without power for a week straight?
Sucked large, large cojones. It was dark, cold and lonely.
Favorite Wu Tang track?
I can barely remember any song. I haven’t heard them since the late 90s.
Have you ever thought of surfing in the back of a pickup truck?
Nope. Can’t say that I have.
Have you ever seen the back of a 20 dollar bill?
Yes.
Have you ever seen the back of a 20 dollar bill... on weed?
Most likely.
Best looking Lady of Inforoo?
Too many to mention
What grocery store do you prefer?
Big Y is by far my favorite, but it’s out of my way and I pass by 3 or 4 grocery stores on my way home from work, so those usually win.
When was the last time you went to McDonalds?
I think I stopped in one to use the bathroom on a road trip recently, but that might have been a Burger King actually… To eat?? Umm… Probably about 6 months ago?

If you could quietly exterminate any public figure who would it be and why?
Fred Phelps and I think the reasoning is pretty obvious.
Do you dream often and if you do, do you have a reoccuring dream? What is it?
I don’t often remember dreams unless it’s Saturday morning and I can just lounge around in bed and fall in and out of sleep… Out of the ones that I remember, they tend to be Cheesecake or Bonnaroo centric.
Are you a list maker?
YES! I make lists ALLLL the time, but almost 100% of the time I never refer to them. I guess it helps me get my thoughts together.
If you decide to have children how many will you want and why that number?
Whether I want them or not is up to debate, but I am thinking 2-3. My sister is my best friend and I could not imagine being an only child. One child is out of the question. More than three sounds like a lifelong anxiety attack. I don’t really most kids in general.
Do you find people who have pets hanging on them strange? (Think snakes, lizards, mice)
Ehh sorta. I know people with these animals so I am used to it. My sisters cat likes to drape himself like a scarf, but that’s because he likes to be buried under hair/ eat the hair.
Would it be more fun to be Britney Spears or Ke$ha for a day?
Brit back in the “Oops I Did It Again” days
Would you rather someone ramble on about a subject you care nothing about or ramble on and you have no idea what they are talking about. Something like a wook where moments of clarity are few inbetween.
Oh definitely the second!!! The first makes me want to shoot myself to get out of my misery and the second is highly entertaining!
If you could have a spot at Bonnaroo to give/sell/get your message out whatever you wanted what would it be. This is assuming that all funding is taken care of.
A glowing sign at the end (beginning) of the tents where This/That/The Other signs are… don’t what what the message would be… just a single word or too along the lines of “Live, Laugh, Love”

Was there a particular event that caused your distaste for booze?
I come from a family of drinkers. My parents have at least one (BIG) drink a day. It's the norm. When I was young (read: elementary school), I used to have a little port wine glass filled with wine at holiday dinners. Once I hit middle school, I graduated to full size glasses... My sister turned 21 3 weeks before I turned 18 and my mom actually told her to give me an ID. haha. The rest is history.
What type of booze do you find most distasteful? Least?
I love red wine, vodka, and a good hoppy beer. I am not a scotch/whiskey/ cheap tequila person (nice tequila is okay). Nor do I like most white wines, roses, belgian/ summer brew beers.

GIBRAN!!!
Now for your first questions:
1. When did you become a mod? I am not even sure it has been so long. But have been a member since 2004
2. How many hours per week do you spend on Inforoo? A lot!! It is always open, here at work and at home. I do miss some good stuff because I am skimming a lot of the posts looking for Mod stuff. :-)
3. What's the one song that can cheer you up when you are down? Tough question. when I am down I usually listen to the Grateful Dead. They never fail to make me smile.
4. Tell me about the baby in your FB profile pic. That is my new niece Ruby. I have 4 nephews so she is the first girl in the family. I do not have any kids of my own so they are very spoiled.
5. If your wardrobe had to consist of items from only one decade in the 1900s, which decade would you choose? I would have to go with the 60's. Just because it was so wonderfully horrible. Tie-Dye, headbands, fringy vests, bell bottoms. Hell yea.
6. Music, white noise, or complete silence to sleep? Sometimes music, most of the time silence. I try and take the it takes from when I lay down to when I go to sleep to think about everything. Whatever comes to mind, the future, the past, a person, an event and reflect.
Soooooo, many. But I have a soft spot for Peggy O and Friend of the Devil
2. How many pillows do you prefer when you sleep?
Not a big pillow guy. I have the standard two.
3. How many festivals have you attended? How many were Bonnaroo (and which years)?

4. How many pair of shoes do you own?
I think 4. 95 percent of the time it is my tennis shoes or my hiking boots.
5. When's the last time you donated to charity (clothes to goodwill counts)?
I donate whenever I can. Last time was just a couple weeks ago. Plus my yearly dues for my Masonic membership go to the free hospitals and burn centers that we run.
6. What's the last album you purchased?
Wow, purchased...Mogwai - Hardcore Never Dies, but You Do
7. When's the last time you gave: a. a hug b. a high five c. a punch d. a kiss e. a raspberry
Hug - last night, two of them
High Five - last night, same person
Punch - I have never punched a person...I think I slammed my fist on my computer desk the other night...
Kiss - Honestly cannot remember, been a few months
What do you all talk about in The Preservation Hall? What is the farthest you have been from home? Favorite Bonnaroo set? Lineup? What is the tallest building you have ever been in? How do magnets work? (sorry, but I love this question) Name your top five favorite bands of all time.
What do you all talk about in The Preservation Hall?
Oh you know, mod stuff :-) Mostly about locking threads and such. We all pitch in our thoughts on most topics. We have no problems telling each other if we agree or disagree. We have a great group and work well together, that is what makes it all worth while.
What is the farthest you have been from home?
That would have been Auckland, New Zealand. It is exactly 8,192 miles from Knoxville (where I was living at the time) A close second was Beirut, Lebanon at 6,242
Favorite Bonnaroo set? Lineup?
Favorite set - MMJ 05 Lineup - A tie between 03 and 06
What is the tallest building you have ever been in?
The Sky tower in Auckland New Zealand. It is 1076 feet tall, making it the tallest free standing structure in the southern hemisphere.
How do magnets work? (sorry, but I love this question)
I know generally how they work, but at the moment cannot recall the finer points. My dad was a science teacher he would kick me if he saw what I was typing...
Name your top five favorite bands of all time.
In this order: 1. Grateful Dead 2. Pink floyd 3. Led Zeppelin 4. Fleetwood Mac 5. Beatles
