Friday Feast: Box lunch

Logtar took it upon himself to personally deliver today's lunch. You have your choice between the roast beef and club sandwiches:

Appetizer
Lets start with a trio sampler of word association… I say,
Tear :: For Fears
Hawk :: Hudson
Alien :: Ant Farm

Soup
If you had to pick a body of water that you have visited in your life to build a house next to, which one would it be… describe the scenery.
The Ligurian Sea. It looks a lot like the Northern California coast, but without all the damn dirty hippies. Lots of craggy cliffs, great for hiking. Deep culture and historical legacy. Easy access to Tuscany and all of the delicious wines and food therein, not to mention the treasure trove or art and history.


Salad
Everyone is being green now-a-days, what is your favorite green initiative?
Getting rid of the obsolete electronics that had been taking up too much room in my basement.

Main Course
Mexican is one of my favorite foods, share the name of your favorite Mexican dish with all of us (and where to find it) … even if it is just a Taco Bell chalupa?
Favorite Mexican dish? Easy, Selma Hayek (caliente!!!). You can find her right here.


Dessert
What was the color of your first bicycle, or the oldest toy that you remember and what fruit do you associate with that color?
Whhaaa??? Okay, my first bicycle was yellow but I don’t know what the heck that has to do with fruit. Banana I guess.

More box lunches are available from Logtar, The D, Nuke

Friday Feast: All vegetarian edition

Strictly vegetarian fare today. Might I suggest a tall glass of wheatgrass juice?

Appetizer
Invent a new flower; give it a name and describe it.
Okay, it's a cross between wormwood and cockscomb.

It's called cockwood. It has large, fleshy petals that swell in warmer weather. But it tends to shrink and shrivel when it gets wet during rain storms.

Soup
Name someone whom you think has a wonderful voice.
Sarah Vaughan.



Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how clean do you keep your car?
Honestly, I'd say 7.326849.

Main Course
How do you feel about poetry?

They said to him "Speak to us of Love."

He looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them.
And with a great voice he said:

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his feathers may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams.

-- Kahlil Gibran

Dessert
What was the last person/place/thing you took a picture of?
My left foot.

Friday Feast

Welcome to the 3AM Diner. Take a seat at the counter. Your waitress will be with you soon.

Appetizer
Given the choice, would you prefer to live in the country or in the city?
City. No contest. I grew up in "the country," and while the scenery and solitude are nice (I love visiting home), the cultural opportunities even in a small city like KC far outweigh the benefits of Small Town USA (in my humble opinion).

Soup
Who is the cutest kid you know?
My daughter, of course.

Salad
Fill in the blank: I couldn’t believe it when I heard ___________.
It's not butter.

Main Course
If you could star in a commercial for one of your favorite products, which one would you want to advertise?
I'm pretty sure I've already answered this question once, so I'll choose a different product. Hmmmm. I guess I'll go with my favorite Scotch, The Glenlivet, because I could probably work a free case out of the deal.

Dessert
What type(s) of vitamins and/or supplements do you take on a regular basis?
Liquid caffeine supplements (about four cups a day).

Here are some of the other customers at the diner: Logtar, H-Train (Happy B-Day!), Bea, Chimpo, Shane, Sit Stay

• Appetizer
  On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 as highest), how much do you like your own handwriting?
  Like it? Probably about a 6.5, the main problem being that it's illegible.
  
  
• Soup
  Do you prefer baths or showers?
  Are you kidding me? Showers! I can't stand the thought of sitting in a tepid pool of my own filth.
  
  
• Salad
  What was the last bad movie you watched?
  Blades of Glory. Will Ferrell is funny and all, he had some good one-liners ("No exaggeration, I could not love a human baby more then I love this brush."). But still, that's an hour and a half of my life that I'll never get back.
  
  
• Main Course
  Name something you are addicted to and describe how it affects your life.
  I'm addicted to being awesome. It affects my life by the sheer about of awesomeness that I am forced to live with.
  
  
• Dessert

  Stan Getz' saxomophone:

Friday Feast: The last refuge of the unoriginal

Appetizer
How many times per day do you usually laugh?
I never laugh in the real world. I just find it undignified. However I do LOL online about 30 times a day (LOL!).

Soup
What do your sunglasses look like?
Like this:


Salad
You win a free trip to anywhere on your continent, but you have to travel by train. Where do you go?
From Fairbanks, Alaska to Panama City, Panama via Montreal, Canada (might as well make the most of a free vacation, right?).

Main Course
Name one thing you consider a great quality about living in your town/city.
It's where my wife and kid live.

Dessert
If the sky could be another color, what color do you think would look best?
Purple, of course.

Friday Feast

Hey, how about I do the Friday Feast this week?

Appetizer
Make up a word and give us its definition.
Multiple Sarkasm: A term I use for the media gush-fest that happened when the French elected Nicolas Sarkozy.


Soup
What is currently your favorite song?
Was, is and always will be Jimmy Buffett's Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw.

Salad
What’s at the top of your Christmas wish list this year?
I want an official Red Ryder carbine-action two-hundred-shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock, and this thing which tells time.

Main Course
Name a scent that reminds you of someone special in your life.
My grandmother always kept whole cloves in her purse and she would give them to us as mints. My guess it it's something she picked up as a young girl during The Depression when only the rich and powerful had access to TicTacs. Still, I can't smell cloves without thinking of my grandmother.

Dessert
Who is someone on television that you feel probably shouldn’t be, and why?
Omigod! The possibilities are endless! How about everyone on teevee between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Or how about a "contestent" on every Deal or No Dancing with America's Top Survivor Idol. But in keeping with theme, I'll just go with Larry Moore, for obvious reasons.
