God, I hate that git!

And that stupid quiz. Why don’t his guests just refuse to answer such idiotic questions?

Well, Saturday Night Live doesn’t take him seriously.

Willem Defoe refused to say what his favorite sound was. (I remember that because it impressed me that he chose to say, “I don’t want to answer that,” when it would be so easy to lie.)

Why don’t you just change the fucking channel when Inside The Actors Studio comes on?

There’s at least another 46 channels of crappier stuff to choose from.

Also, I have the feeling that the reason you have decided that the questions on the questionaire, and it **is** a questionairre, **not** a “quiz” are idiotic is because you can’t think of answers to any of the questions.

Why is that?

Well, I think it’s a pretty safe bet that you have the imagination of drywall.

If it was a “quiz” then they would be graded on it.

Now, because of your error regarding your misuse of the word “quiz,” you must now :smack: yourself about the head and shoulders 86 times with a wet haddock.
