FQotD: Lightning Round Strikes Back! + We have a Winner!
In order to maintain a constant in this ever changing world, and so I don’t have to look up more colors every week, from now on, John is MidnightBlue and Jon is Firebrick. Thanks for your cooperation.
1. Do you own a box of crayons?
No
No, I do not. Though I’ve purchased very many over the last few years, none have been for me.
2. Have you ever seen a dead body?
I was on the Big Blue Bus once and we went past a car accident and there was a body laying in a yard – It was covered by a sheet, though.
I think so. Once. Funeral — like you do. But I try not to make a habit of it. Kind of freaks me out.
3. Do you own any diamonds?
People say I’m crazy; I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes – wait, nope, just rubber
No. Again, the only diamonds that I have purchased, do not belong to me.
4. What was the last thing you purchased?
I bought a Vanilla Latte at Starbucks
Well, I’ll list the last three things: Chinese food lunch. Oil Change for my car. Rock Band.
5. What makes you feel warm and safe?
A pointy stick and plenty of man-fire
Knowing that those I care for are ok. I don’t really care for myself anymore now that I have a wife and two boys. As long as they are ok, I don’t care what happens to me.
6. How often do you remember your dreams?
Depends – most of the time I don’t remember anything, other times it is very vivid – like last night I had a dream where I was on a spaceship and Madonna, Michael Jackson, Debbie Gibson, Pat Benatar, John Mellencamp, Bruce Willis, and a midget were all doing these crazy ‘80’s dances. Bruce Willis and the midget were wearing matching sailor suits. It was weird.
Probably not as much as I’d like.
7. How do you vent your anger?
Dance!
Not sure how to answer this. When I lived in L.A. sometimes I would vent by just yelling in the car when I was in traffic. But I’ve found that since I’ve moved here and I’m working from home, I’m much more relaxed.
8. What is your heritage?
White People
Mexican.
9. Did you ever go to camp?
I went to writing camp for a week – does that count?
We had this thing when I was growing up called Summer Day Camp, which (as you might have guessed) happened during summer, during the day! Went there I think one year. It was neat but it was never the cool “Meatballs” kind of camp that I might have liked to go to. Of course, now that I have children of my own, I don’t know that I would be able to send them away for a whole summer and not freak out the whole time.
10. What is your ringtone?
Vibrate
“Chime” by Orbital.
Do you think you got what it takes to face us in the lightning round?
