Does the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition Cover count? I went to junior high with Christy Brinkley. Do you do anything in the car that you hope no one sees? ---

Yes. I was a government major and a history minor, then got my J.D., and I now serve as a magistrate. Have you ever been arrested? ---

I’ve witnessed a group of guys kicking a guy who was on the ground. But he seemed to be ok (as in, stood up and wanted to fight back once his friends showed up) after it. Do you listen to rap? ---

There are a couple of rap songs I like, especially “California Love” by Dr. Dre and Tupac, and “Lose Yourself” by Eminem. Not many, though. Do you like lemon drops? ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Very much. I just discovered the new Sour Skittles and love 'em. > > Any movies you’re looking forward to this summer? Sort of. Mark Wahlberg has been trying to make a movie called “The Fighter” based on the life of boxer Micky Ward for a couple of years now that keeps getting pushed back. First Brad Pitt was going to co-star, then Matt Damon, now it looks like they’re both out. Darren Aronofsky was supposed to direct, but he might not now. It was supposed to be out already, but now they’re saying 2011. Wahlberg has been training as boxer for a couple of years now for a movie that might never get made. Speaking of Aronosky, did you see “The Wrestler?” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/get-to-know-each-other/489836.md?page=23) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/get-to-know-each-other/489836.md?page=25)
