\*\* 1) Basic ice cream flavor (Vanilla, Chocolate or Strawberry)\*\* Vanilla. \*\* 2) “Exotic” ice cream flavor (all the rest)\*\* Mint, preferably without chocolate. \*\* 3) Snack food\*\* Grapes, with a nice big glass of water. **4) Soft drink (and by the way, is it pop, soda, coke, or something else)** Coke. If I don’t call it by name, it’s a “soda” or a “caffeine supplement”. **5) TV News program or channel (if you watch the 24-hour places)** I don’t generally watch them–I get most of my news on the net. When I do, I usually skip around, trying to get a balanced view and all available details. **6) Car** DeLorean. **7) Team Sport** Huh? What is this “sport” thing you speak of? 😉 **8) Individual Sport** I suppose martial arts fits here, although I don’t really regard MA as a sport. How 'bout a LARP that involves lots of sword-fighting? \*\* 9) National Park\*\* Yosemite. **10)Your Choice of category (make up your own)** Favorite game: Dungeons & Dragons ---

\*\* 1) Basic ice cream flavor (Vanilla, Chocolate or Strawberry)\*\* Vanilla. \*\* 2) “Exotic” ice cream flavor (all the rest)\*\* Cherry or pistachio. \*\* 3) Snack food\*\* Cooler Ranch Doritos or roasted sunflower seeds. **4) Soft drink (and by the way, is it pop, soda, coke, or something else)** It used to be all Coke to me since I’m Southern but I try to call it soda instead. I don’t really have a true favorite… it’s tied between Coke, Mountain Dew, Dr Pepper, and a Mexican Sangria soda called Sangrel or something similar. **5) TV News program or channel (if you watch the 24-hour places)** I don’t watch the news… most of my knowledge of current events (which is sadly pretty limited) comes from the SDMB and another message board I frequent. **6) Car** SUVs, I guess. Go ahead and pit me. **7) Team Sport** I hate sports. I like watching pro wrestling and the Olympics when they’re on but otherwise, I’d rather yank my fingernails out with rusty pliers than watch baseball or football. **8) Individual Sport** See above. \*\* 9) National Park\*\* None, really. I guess the Smokey Mountains since I live about thirty miles from the Appalachains. **10)Your Choice of category (make up your own)** Favorite TV Show: Star Treks TNG, DS9, and Enterprise. ---
