[KrazieDog]

1. Share one food item that best describes the last year of your life.
Cotton Candy. It's been fricking sweeeeet!

2. What one item in the kitchen best describes you and your personality?
Oven. It's always warm and inviting, and will turn out delectable outcomes most of the time, but if your fuck with it in undesirable ways, you'll get burned.

3. What’s your favorite concert you’ve ever attended?
Creed. In a nightclub. There are a couple reasons why which I'll tell you some time.

4. What cartoon character best describes you?
Bugs Bunny. Crazy and crafty, although I'm sure Lyz will say Shrek. Either is fine by me.

5. If you could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would it be?
Possibly Scotland or Ireland.

6. Complete the statement “I recommend…”
Getting to know people one on one, before passing judgment. It's easy to label, but you might just be pleasantly surprised.

7. If you knew could you try anything and not fail (and money was no object), what dream would you attempt?
Set up even further programs for St Jude's Children's Hospital, reaching even more children, and supporting their families in their times of travels and stays to and from the hospital, for treatments and care. Providing a source of income while they can't work due to such.

8. What super-power would you most like to have, and why?
Indestructible or flying. Either would be cool as hell.

9. If you had $5 million to spend in 5 days, but couldn’t spend any of it on yourself or your family, what would you do with it?
Take care of friends that could really use it. Pay off their mortgages and bills, schooling, and provide for their kid's futures. Or buy a piece of land here, and build houses for some people close to me and name it TK Millennium Estates.

1. Share one food item that best describes the last year of your life. (example: “frozen pizza” because I did a 180-degree turn this year, or “cinnamon roll” because it had lots of twists and turns but overall was pretty sweet)

1. Share one food item that best describes the last year of your life. (example: “frozen pizza” because I did a 180-degree turn this year, or “cinnamon roll” because it had lots of twists and turns but overall was pretty sweet)

There's no food that could describe the last year of my life. What's the most complicated, fascinating, frustrating and exhilarating food known to humanity? That.


2. What one item in the kitchen best describes you and your personality?

Garlic press, because I love to coax the essence out of things.


3. What’s your favorite concert you’ve ever attended?

The second Lollapalooza: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Ice Cube, Soundgarden, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Lush and Pearl Jam. And on the second stage, the Jim Rose Sadism and Masochism Sideshow and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones (Best live band ever.)

The concert was held outdoors in the summer, and at the start of the sideshow, Jim Rose said to the huge, densely packed crowd, "This is a very disturbing show, and it's very hot out. When people start passing out just stick your hand in the air and point down at them, and the EMT's will come in and get them." Me and my friend ended up finding a great place to sit up on a wall where we could see over the crowd, and didn't have to stand in the middle of the sweating mass.

The sideshow was freaky and intense... I'm going to spare you a vivid description of what took place, because it will gross people out, but to finish the story, there was a guy whose act was piercing himself in really painful looking ways. For his finale, he pierced his own eye from side to side with a needle. And a flood of hands suddenly shot up, all at once, throughout the crowd.


4. What cartoon character best describes you?

I don't have an answer to this one.


5. If you could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would it be?

Dubai: I want to live on those man-made islands they built.

http://dubaibeachfurnishedapartments.com/the-palm-dubai_small.jpg

By the way, the arabic writing surrounding the palms says:
Take wisdom from the wise
It takes a man of vision to write on water
Not everyone who rides a horse is a jockey
Great men rise to greater challenges

Obviously the prince of Dubai thinks pretty highly of himself :cool:


6. Complete the statement “I recommend…” (it can be a show, movie, book, restaurant, website, activity, etc.)

I recommend that everyone read the book The Art of Happiness, by the Dalai Lama. It changed my life and transformed the way I see myself and other people.


7. If you knew could you try anything and not fail (and money was no object), what dream would you attempt?

I would build in the real world what the TMF is on the Internet.


8. What super-power would you most like to have, and why?

The power to read minds, because I need to know everything about everyone.


9. If you had $5 million to spend in 5 days, but couldn’t spend any of it on yourself or your family, what would you do with it?

I'd spend it on my friends, making their dreams come true.

[bballa4life60]

I'm just going to answer that last question, if that is okay.

If I had $5 million dollars to spend in 5 days on something absolutely crazy, I would take three helicopters and hover them over Texas Stadium. I would spend the remaining money on bouncy balls (I'm guessing approximately 3-4 million since they're cheap).

I would then simultaneously drop all of the bouncy balls through the opening in the roof on the night of a sold out game, with the stadium full of Cowboy fans, just as the Cowboys were taking the field.

I would use bouncy balls because I wouldn't want anyone to get seriously hurt and/or killed, but it would be fun to read in the paper the next day about the number of concussions received by players, coaches, and fans. And if I'm REALLY lucky, the skybox class would shatter and about 700 of these balls would head straight for Jerry Jones' head.

Again, I wouldn't want to seriously hurt or kill the old man, just maybe knock some sense into his head that we're sick of the Cowboys being the half-way-house for the NFL.
