Tossup between Q-Bert and Centipede, but I think Q-Bert would have to take it. It was silly, but required skill, and even when I lost (as I always did), it was fun and made me laugh.
Favorite pinball game?
I rarely ever played pinball, but ISTR the Buckaroo Banzai one was OK.
MF touristy spot?
Manhattan, but it’s where I was born and lived until I was eight (and lived again in my 20s and again in my 30s). Anyway, it has a way of actually seeming quaint and old-fashioned to me, because it reminds me of being a little kid.
MF place you ever lived. By lived, let’s say, you actually had a mailing address there.
Raleigh NC - good balance of all cultures, light crime activity, educational hub, tolerable traffic
favorite place to people watch
Battery park in Manhattan.
Favorite brand of soap.
Zote, Mexican bar soap made for cold water laundry, perfect for shave shower shampoo.
Favorite sedentary non-computer game.
Dominoes. A great way to kill time while listening to music without actually having to make conversation.
Favorite 90’s video game
Dragon Warrior I-IV for the original NES.
Favorite non-car mode of transportation.
I assume I would really rather enjoy a private jet experience…
Favorite weather conditions
Oh, 65-to-70 degrees, a mild breeze and partly cloudy.
Favorite pizza toppings?
Green peppers, which is funny, because I don’t like them much anywhere else.
Favorite TV lawyer.
Hyperchicken…or maybe Lionel Hutz. It’s a toss up.
Favorite real lawyer
William Kunstler.
Favorite real doctor.
My cousin Cassie. My cousin Bruce is a close second.
Favorite cousin.
Sally. She was fun and crazy, Last time I saw here was in about 1954.
Favorite Indian Chief.
Tamanend. A peace loving chief. A cult rose around him. He was called St. Tammany.
Favorite unusual clock.
What was that one that wound itself via atmospheric pressure variations? Atmos? Anyway, my wife’s dad had one. It seemed cool.
Favorite movie theater technological gimmick/brand name
Reclining seats at AMC. With cupholders. I don’t know if they are officially Barcaloungers, but they are electric, so you can vary the degree of the recline, and a footstool comes up. They certainly are as comfortable and indulgent as Barcaloungers.
Favorite thing to buy at the snack counter at the movies (pretend they aren’t atrociously expensive, and you aren’t not buying things on principle; what would you buy?)
Raisinettes. Before I got dentures it was Jordan almonds.
Favorite incarnation of Doctor Who?
Hmmm, I’ll say a tie between Tom Baker, David Tennant and Matt Smith, with Peters Davidson and Capaldi and Patrick Traughton close seconds.
Favorite Doctor Who companion?
