Once a week, it is only me. Once a week is usually enough.
Are you a NASCAR fan (I'm thinking 'no' since you're not much into cars)? Got a favorite driver if so?
No, I was never into NASCAR. Would liked to go to Bristol just once though. Never made it.
Football fan? What conferences/teams/players are you a fan of?
Yes. Cowboys Ohio State Buckeyes and the Tennessee Vols have a place in there somewhere. Went to so many of their games, I will continue to follow them
Basketball? Baseball? (Just teams is OK here, as I don't know much about those)
. I follow basket a little, not a whole lot. Really do not like baseball unless I am in the stadium. That is fun to do 2 or 3 times a year.
Am I repeating old questions?
Ummmm, I don't think so, but I have answered so many I would not know anyway. :-)
Do you like Pop Tarts?
I do not hate them, but do not eat them on any kind of regular basis.
Do you think they provide any REAL nutrition?
No. haha
Is it a beautiful day where you are? Totally is here.
As I am answering this YES! Not sure what it was like when you were typing the question.
Do you like socks? Shoes?
I do, I have ugly feet. haha I never wear sandals or flip flops.
I currently have a pair of Reeboks. Anything comfortable.
Do you shop online often? If yes, favorite sites?
I do. But I only shop when I need something. Mostly concert tickets. For clothes and stuff I actually go to the mall. That is usually about once a year.
Favorite animal to have as a pet?
Love dogs!
Do you like horses?
Horses are awesome. But I do not have much experience with them.
Do you ride?
I have rode a horse a handful of times.
Any fests besides Bonnaroo planned this year?
Bella Fiore, Forecastle, Roo, and Newport Folk!!!! Soooooo excited.
I would have to say Thursday. That is usually the day people are starting to make plans and talk about what to do the upcoming weekend. Always exciting.
To Knox: I've only been with one girl in the last six months (tmi?), and it sure wasn't that rodent.
To Dave: You suck
Also: do you like DMB? Tool? A Perfect Circle? Are you in Atlanta right now, or wish you was? What fests are you going to this year? And what ones do you wish you could go to? What really happened at that cabin? Fav type of pizza, and from where? Do you drink soda? How does Abra speak such blasphemy about Clutch?
1. If I tested you on the capitals of the US, would you pass with flying colors? 2. If you could be a Planeteer, which ring would you want control over? 3. Rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 on how adventurous of an eater you are (1 being a picky two year old and 10 being Andrew Zimmern). 4. What would you do with all your spare time if Inforoo ceased to exist? 5. Do you think Abra will ask you questions? If so, would she be able to find questions that she doesn't know the answer to or perhaps would she use the chance to make you spill embarrassing stories?
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 like DMB alright. I was the right age for getting into them when they first got big. A college roommate's brother was actually really good friends with Dave when he was nobody. He said it was wierd seeing Dave on huge stages after seeing him play guitar with his brother on his back porch so many times. I really do like Tool. They're on my list of bands to see. I like A Perfect Circle but not nearly as much as Tool
Are you in Atlanta right now, or wish you was?
I was when you wrote this. Good times.
What fests are you going to this year?
Only Roo and Moog for definite.
And what ones do you wish you could go to?
Forecastle, Newport Folk Fest come to mind first off.
What really happened at that cabin?
Drinking, talking, hot tubbing
Fav type of pizza, and from where?
I have always been a meat pizza kind of guy. I would have to say my favorite is from Mellow Mushroom.
Do you drink soda?
I have a back and forth relationship with the stuff. I like it, but I know it's terrible for me in multiple ways, so I try to not drink it.
How does Abra speak such blasphemy about Clutch?
I learned a long time ago that we have very different tastes in music/movies. It's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. She exaggerates the Clutch hate to a certain extent because she knows it bothers me.
Is it this weekend y'all are coming to Nashville to check out the RV?
No, that's the weekend of the 23rd-24th.
Are you super excited about having a cool place to sleep in?
Yes, air conditioning is going to be the jam.
What do you plan on stocking the fridge with?
I'm not big on bringing food to Roo, so I haven't really thought about it. I usually eat in Centeroo all the time because there is too much awesome there.
Have you and Abra discussed yard decorations for our campsite?
No, she has looked at it, but we haven't really discussed it.
Do you agree we need more than the tie dyed banners?
I'm not a big decoration kind of guy. I usually have a pretty spartan campsite since I don't spend much time there.
Will Phi get to use his 'smush' tent?
It depends. Can you "smush" with just one person?
What is tent ettiquite when 'smushing'? Sock on the zipper?!
That could work. I am honestly more concerned with post-smush etiquette. Lots of disinfectant and paper towels.
What kind of potato chips do you prefer?
Cheddar Cheese and Sour Cream. I also like thicker ones (like kettle chips).
What are some favorite beers?
I have really only been drinking beer starting at Moogfest. I don't care for a lot of them, and I don't drink that often. I have figured out that I like Belgian Whites. Abra says I like "fruity" beer.
How old are your boys?
4 and 7.
Done with kids?
Probably.
Did they go through the lame Thomas the Train phase?
Oh, don't knock Thomas. You have to appreciate the fact that most episodes are morality tales that are narrated by George Carlin, Ringo Starr and Alec Baldwin.
Do you use the 'Thirty days past September' song to remember how many days in each month?
I usually keep them pretty straight without it.
Do y'all have any pets? If so, elaborate.
We have some hermit crabs that Abra bought the boys at the beach last year. She's allergic to cats, and I think dogs are messy, so we've never had either of those.
What do you drive?
Currently, a Toyota 4runner.
What do you wish you drove?
I have always liked Honda Elements. Maybe a Prius, but something like a Ford Ranger would be super handy.
What was your first car?
A 1990 Mercury Topaz.
Did you pay for it or was it a gift?
My uncle gave it to me when he was getting a new car. He gave me the car but made me pay to have for tags and having the title changed.
Do you have an ATV?
I do not. I have never even been on one.
Who would you like to see on the comedy line up?
I would almost have to say Eddie Izzard because Greg Giraldo and Mitch Hedberg are dead. Eddie is probably the only comedian that I really like that I haven't seen. Doug Benson was surprisingly funny in '10, so I wouldn't mind having him back.
Will Aziz be our 'big name' for comedy this year?
I would say so since he's decently far up the line-up, and he's very Roo friendly.
Do you wish it was Louie CK instead?
I find Louis CK funnier and he is a pretty awesome guy for the bonuses he did for his staff.
1. If I tested you on the capitals of the US, would you pass with flying colors?
I would probably get almost all of them. There's a couple that are tricky which I may have forgotten.
2. If you could be a Planeteer, which ring would you want control over?
Water. It's what makes like possible on Earth.
3. Rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 on how adventurous of an eater you are (1 being a picky two year old and 10 being Andrew Zimmern).
8. I will try most anything once with some exceptions, i.e. if there's peach in it, I will not eat it no matter how good you say it is.
4. What would you do with all your spare time if Inforoo ceased to exist?
I might actually do stuff at work.
5. Do you think Abra will ask you questions? If so, would she be able to find questions that she doesn't know the answer to or perhaps would she use the chance to make you spill embarrassing stories?
Probably not. She'll probably read them to see if I answered how she expected. She knows that I'll always answer whatever question she has for me. Also, she knows that I have no problem with telling stories that make me look like an idiot.
Do you prefer carrying cash, or using a debit/credit card?
Debit card, definitely, even though it's not a good idea.
How many times have you locked your keys in your car?
4 or 5.
What time is the BEST time to drink coffee?
I don't drink coffee, but I would think the morning is the best time.
What color is your car/vehicle?
Green
Why do you think you got BMOTM?
Gibran made a typing error that I made a joke question about. I believe it was "How do you feel about the idea that your dad would lick you for not knowing about magnets?"
Will you really answer EVERYone's questions?
If they're asked in good fun, sure.
Do you have to?
I am supposed to, yes.
When's the best time to arrive at roo and start setting up?(in a perfect world, if you could actually choose a time and BE there by that time)
Ideal would be Thursday morning, but it doesn't work out because getting there Thursday morning involves me getting up really early and then i get tired easy that day.
You are more than I ever imagined you could be. You're an angel straight from heaven.
Whens the last time you and your weenie had a photoshoot?
Like I told you before, I have never taken pictures of my junk. Also, should I be worried that the two posters who have asked questions about my pubic region have both been dudes?
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.
Thanks! I am already plotting on who I can give this to next month.
Do you think Phi and emoney are fixated on your weenie because of your avatar? Or are there ulterior motives?
Well, Phi does spend a lot of time on Pinterest.
What is your favorite sandwich?
It's called a Rosemary from Billy's Time Out Deli in Oak Ridge. I think I posted a picture of one in What's For Dinner one time. It's a sub sandwich with steak, green peppers, mushrooms, two kinds of cheese, mayo, mustard and tomato.
Do you have a crafty hobby?
I feel the need to have one sometimes, but I don't.
What is your lucky number?
12... no idea why.
What is the tallest building you've been to and did you go to the top?
The Plaza Tower in downtown Knoxville which checks in at a whopping 27 stories. I did go to the top though.
What was the last book you read?
The Gathering Storm by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson. It's a fantasy series that my uncles got me started reading back in the 90s. This one was book 12 of what will be 14, so I feel I've come too far to stop now.
What was the weirdest transportation vehicle you have ever been in?
I can't think of anything i would call weird. I have never traveled that much.
Did you change your screen name because the police were looking for you?
I changed it because everyone called me Dave anyway, so I might as well join the party.
In no particular order: Radiohead. You were there. You know why. Fugazi. I saw them in '99 in Knoxville. Fantastic. Clutch. I've seen them 10 times. Favorite is either the show at The Bay in Chattanooga or in Knoxville with Graveyard and The Sword opening. The Avett Brothers. Tennessee Theatre in '09. First time seeing them and the crowd was electric. Mastodon. Blues Cats in Knoxville. Converge opened for them.
Let's talk Pyramid Song. Why do you love that one?
One, it's such a simple song musically that somehow has this really grand scale. Two, the lyrics are poetic and it's about dying which is a plus for me for some reason. Three, it just resonates with me. You know? One of those songs that makes you vibrate on the inside for no discernible reason.
Mimosa Buckets: perfected simplicity or a concept that could be improved?
The only thing that could be perfected was that, when you took out either component, the ice collapsed to fill the void, and it was difficult to get the carafe or bottle back into the ice.
