Not yet - but I’ll catch it on DVD
Do you have any “guilty pleasures” when it comes to movies?
Plenty, primarily mindless shoot-'em-ups and the comedy Trading Places.
Did you like Trading Places?
Excellent username/post combo, here.
Yes – not least because parts of it were filmed here in Philly. (My BIL’s brother can be seen walking across a bank lobby at one point.)
Have you ever been to Philadelphia?
No - NYC would be the closest.
Ever been to one of the Nordic Countries?
No, but had lots of friends from there.
Do you speak more than one language?
<Bruce Willis> English, and bad English </BW>
Actually, I kinda sorta speak French and Spanish in addition to English. I can understand Hindi fairly easily, but can’t speak a word.
Have you ever kissed a member of your own sex?
Yes. I kissed a few guys in college to get the girls to do the same.
Would you consider moving to another country (or just very far away) for a job?
If it was a really, really good job in an English-speaking country, yes. But I’d rather stay here.
Do you like Cheetos?
Yes, in moderation. And then again in moderation. And then…
Can you sing?
No, not a note. Which leads to all kinds of annoyances, as Hollywood has taught the Thais that all Americans burst into song at the drop of a hat. Many’s the time I’m asked to sing a song for a group of people, even in nightclubs! I’m considered a grump when I don’t, but they’d be thankful if they ever heard me.
Do you still live within 100 miles of where you were born?
Nope… about 2,546 miles away.
Do/did you know and get along with both of your biological parents?
Yes, I get along with both of my parents.
Have you ever met a President?
Nope… never seen one IRL either. Though, I think I’ve seen the limo before when the president was being escorted somewhere…
You have choice of any instrument: could you play an entire song, whether simple or not?
Ha. Maybe Mary has a Little Lamb on the piano.
Have you contributed to Wikipedia?
Yes… I’ve added to several articles about Oakley and I think there are one or two Oakley-related stubs on there that I wrote myself.
Have you met anyone famous this year?
Sort of - I argued a case in front of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in January.
Have you ever testified in court?
I had to read someone’s deposition (I think). This was a long time ago, so I don’t remember the exact circumstances, but my boss asked me to go to court and read some statements for a witness who could not be present for some reason. So not really testifying, but on the stand nonetheless.
Ever swallowed something disgusting by mistake? (Bug, tobacco spit, etc.)
Too many bugs to count, when I was on summer camp staff.
Have you ever eaten sharkmeat?
I’ve had shark’s fin soup, if that counts.
Would you take part in a space colonizing mission, if you knew there would be no way to return to Earth for the forseeable future?
If I could bring my wife and kids with me and there was a reasonable likelihood of success, yes.
Do you support the U.S. crewed space program?
