Four For Friday - Cheaper Than Therapy Cheaper Than Therapy

November 12 04

Q1: If you were given the opportunity to perform in the circus, and you knew ahead of time that you would not fail, what would you do?

trapeeze…i think.

Q2: You’ve just been hired to a promotions position at a major breakfast cereal company. What would you put in a new cereal box as a gimmick?

a willy wonka golden ticket. That would be awesome to get.

Q3: Who is the most famous or well known person you’ve had a face-to-face encounter with?

David Robinson.

Q4: Can you comfortably eat alone in a restaurant with nothing to do at the table but eat, i.e., nothing to read, no earphones to hear music thru, no one to talk with, etc.? What about going to the movies alone?

I can comfortably go shopping alone. in fact, i enjoy it much much better than going with someone else. But, i cannot eat alone in a restuarant (even if i’m reading or listening to music!), or go to a movie alone!! Never!

anyone? anyone?
It’s your turn!!

Q1: I don’t know if its the same as trapeeze, but I’d love to be an acrobat. Or a lion tamer.

Q2: This is a tough one. I guess I’m not very creative, the first thing I thought of was a decoder ring. Since that’s pretty lame, I’ll wrack the brain and come up with … Batman decorder rings. Man, I suck.

Q3: If by “encounter” you include “stood in line behind at the supermarket” I’d have to say Shirley MacLaine (I don’t even know if I spelled that right). Otherwise, sad to say, probably a professor of mine that has been on television and radio to comment on the Constitution. Doug Kmiec, maybe you’ve heard of him?

Q4: Yes, but I would prefer a book. I’ve gone to the movies alone a few times, it isn’t as bad as it seems.

Q1: i’d be shot out of a canon.
Q2: i got a spiderman bracelet with a light that shines a spider web and i thought that was pretty cool (it’s still on my bedside table – don’t tell anyone! but where else am i when it’s dark?. i can’t really come up with anything on my own right now – i lost my creativity at university.
Q3: Roberto Alomar, sadly enough
Q4: I would never go to a restaurant alone (take-out would be much less embarrassing), but i’ve actually gone to a movie by myself. one day my hubby left me at a mall for hours and hours. i shopped for quite a while but still had some time to kill. so, i went to a movie . . . solo. funnily enough, when the lights came on at the end of the movie i noticed that the entire theatre was FULL of people by themselves. i didn’t feel bad after that.

Hey Matin – that’s so funny! You said “funnily enough” – a term I am often ridiculed for using. Maybe we’re related or something!

Anyway to the questions…
Q1: If you were given the opportunity to perform in the circus, and you knew ahead of time that you would not fail, what would you do?

I’d be one of the Carnies.
Carnies. Circus folk. Nomads, you know. Smell like cabbage. Small hands.

Q2: You’ve just been hired to a promotions position at a major breakfast cereal company. What would you put in a new cereal box as a gimmick?

A ring of Jesus fire.

Q3: Who is the most famous or well known person you’ve had a face-to-face encounter with?

wayne gretzky.

Q4: Can you comfortably eat alone in a restaurant with nothing to do at the table but eat, i.e., nothing to read, no earphones to hear music thru, no one to talk with, etc.? What about going to the movies alone?

Yes – sometimes by preference 😉
