**Do you have a beard?**

I used to. Shaved it off a while back. I hate to shave so I usually grow one when I get tired of buying razors and shave it off when I get tired of picking cracker crumbs out of it.

**How often do you cut your toenails?**

Cut? Toenails?

**Hi Opal!**

I’ll tell her you called.

**What is the meaning of life?**

Live, Love, Loaf, and Larf.

**What is that velocity of an unladen swallow?**

Blue. No, gree … YAUUUGGGHHH!!!

Good enough to keep the local comedy club in business.

**Why did you join the SDMB, and why did you want to be a mod?**

Well, I had first heard of TSD back when the first book came out (the larger trade paperback edition.) When I first hit the internet on AOL, one of the clicks on the welcome screen was a link to the site which used to be there. I clicked on it and never looked back.I wanted to be a mod because back then **Tubadiva** was the only mod here and I just wanted to help out. No, really … not the power or prestige or anything.

**Will you still love me tomorrow?**

Just as much as I love you now.

**42?**

Yes, in the months with an “r” in them.

\*\*Do you see dead people? \*\*

Just when I attend the Republican National Convention.

When you make love, do you look in the mirror?  
Who do you think of? Does he look like me?  
Do you tell lies and say that it’s forever?  
Do you think twice, or just touch and see?  
When you’re alone, do you let go?  
Are you wild and willing, or is it just for show?  
When you wake up, will you walk out?  
(It can’t be love if you throw it about.)

Now for the question: Can you name that tune?

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck \* could\* chuck wood?

Because you have such a detailed knowledge of Disneyania: What’s your favorite Disney character?

And, to round it out: When layin’ back in a field on a warm night and looking up at the whole big hooha of the starry night sky, what sighs of yonder longing does your mind utter?

Well, jeepers. (Ain’t I cute when I say ‘jeepers?’) I didn’t expect quite this amount of ourpouring or quite so many questions, so to try to keep this from getting too long and silly before the server gets blasted into kingdom come this weekend, I’ll start picking and choosing questions at random.

_Crunchy Frog asked_

\*\*What deodorant do you use? \*\*

Old Spice Sport

\*\*What is your dream job? \*\*

Pokemon Trainer.

No, seriously, I always envisioned myself as owning a used book store, smoking my pipe in the corner with a big ol’ dog sleeping at my feet and the smell of ancient literature all around me.

_Gunslinger asked_

\*\*Do you like/dislike my congratulatory “Good for you.” in post-count-related situations? \*\*

Yes.

_Baraqiyal asked_

\*\*What movie has made you cry? \*\*

Schindler’s List. I absolutley cannot watch the end of that movie with the survivors laying stones on his grave without breaking into tears.

**What is the least amount of money you would take to scream “We’re running out of air” in a crowded elevator?**

About the same as it would take to scream “MOVIE” in a crowded firehouse.

_AbbySthrnAccent asked_

\*\*Does it bother you that doctor’s call what they do ‘practice’? \*\*

No, but it does bother me a bit that all the diplomas you see on their walls are in latin. It makes me wonder what they’re trying to hide. I suspect that if you took one down and traslated it, it would turn out to read “Dr. Wossaname just barely graduated from the University of Ping Doofus and frankly, we were happy to see the back of him. May God have mercy on your soul.”

\*\*What compliment have you received lately? \*\*

“I have to say, that picture you showed me does not do [you] justice.”

\*\*Are you pierced or tattoo’d? How many of which? \*\*

Nope. No holes or artwork besides those which God gave me.

More later …

White jeans, an old blue t-shirt that says “The Biggest Little State in the Union - RI” and black socks.

Why, whatever _did_ you think I was going to say? 😉
