Oh, that’s easy. Bathing in the milk of virgins while dozens of young asses frolic around my naked body. Wait. There’s something not quite right about that. Genuine answer? (and it’s a shocker) Retiring to the bathroom for one of those half-hour sabbaticals with a good book and a beer. ---

I like to wear women’s clothes. ---

I love Dharma & Greg. I’m happy it’s going into syndication. My entire Andrew Lloyd Webber CD collection probably comes into this category. ---

I watch Beverly Hills 90210 ever afternoon after work. It comes on at 4:00 and again at 5:00 so I only get to watch the one at 5:00 but on the weekends it’s on at 9:00 a.m and 10:00 a.m. and I get to watch both!! CagneyFan, I too am a Brady Bunch buff! We should have a quiz off or something because I’ve probably seen every episode 10 times, even the cheesy movies they made. And what about the Brady Brides!! ---

I read old Hardy Boys books–but only the ones prior to the late 1950’s rewrites. I especially enjoy rereading the ship-sinking sequence at the beginning of The Hidden Harbor Mystery (1935). Too bad the book is so racist after that. ---

I also have my own coloring books and crayons. (I’ve even gone back to the store and bought extra copies of a coloring book I liked.) I like to read TSR fantasy novels and sometimes science-fiction novels. They are hidden in a shelf in my closet, while the other, more respectable sounding titles I’ve read (I, Claudius, The Iliad, The Odyssey, Cosmos, Beowulf, To Kill a Mockinfbird, various biographies) are in the bookshelf in the living room for everyone to see as soon as they enter. Ed Wood movies and a six pack of MGD. Those crack me up (the movies I mean, I’m not sitting around laughing at beer bottles, that’s just weird.) ---

I like Real World, Road Rules, and the Real World/Road Rules Challenge, and I also have a crush on at least one member from every cast. I like Archie comics. I like “Rock and Roll High School,” and I have seen “Rock and Roll High School Forever” probably about five times. I go to Barnes and Noble at least four times a week, and have special ordered three books because I have a mad crush on a guy who works there. ---

I forgot before . . . I don’t know if this counts, since most of the people I know in real life know this about me, but I _ **love** _ Looney Tunes and the Cartoon Network and I collect comic books, Spider-Man and Deadpool being my current favorites. (I’m one of the rare few whose mother did _not_ throw away his childhood comic collection, and some of the ones I have are worth over $100 now.) ---

> [@](#): > > \*\* > I watch _The Real World_ and other cheesy TV shows. > \*\* I too am a _ **Real World** _ junkie…and _ **Road Rules** _, to a lesser extent. I was watching the _ **RW** _ casting special the other night, and my mother called me long distance…here is a rough approximation of that conversation… mother: “Hey, I haven’t heard from you in a week, so I was just calling to see if you’re alive.” me: “Oh, I’m fine…is this just a random check up??? Cause I’m watching the _ **Real World** _…I’ll call you later.” mother: “Well your sister is coming into town and…” me: (interrupting) “Yeah, that’s great, I gotta go…I’ll call you back…love you, bye” mother: “But, I want to tell you…” me: (interrupting again) “Sorry, I’m missing the _ **Real World** _, gotta go, bye” [hangs up] Now, I’m not usually such a bad offspring…but COME ON…it’s the _ **Real World Casting Special** _!!! Okay, I’m ashamed of myself now. ---

Cheesesteaks. I know they’re heart attacks on a roll, but I can’t resist 'em. I can’t wait to get one. * * * Cheesesteak free for 3 months, 17 days, 12 hours, 47 minutes ---

Since when are colouring books and crayons a guilty pleasure? I need to go out and pick up a few more. Last one I bought was a Pocahontas one. I also love those trace books and the invisible ink ones. Whats so bad about them? If they are guilty pleasures well well thats just crazy. I would then include such things as… [ul][li]Bubbles. C’mon you know you love em[/li] [li]Singing silly songs. Like Great Green Gobs of Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts. You know you want to sing it.[/li] [li]Building Lego cities to just destroy them with your plastic dinosaurs.[/li] [li]Going to the candy store and buying a whole ton of penny candy. or Lik-m-Aid’s (with the sticks and flavoured sugar)[/li] [li]Wading in the fountains. (where you are allowed to wade not where the police will arrest you if you do ;)) I love Olympic Plaza. Its such fun to run around in the water.[/li] [li]Romance Novels I concur it is best to sit and read them with come chocolate and pop.[/li] [li]Playing with some toys in a bubble bath.[/ul][/li] Yah… 🙂 There we go. ---
