Answer these personal questions with help from the Random Article button on Wikipedia!
1. What do you fear?
Bishop Andrew Brennan of Richmond. He died on my birthday, 26 years before I was born, in the same state where I was born. I think he haunts me.
2. What would you take with you to a desert island?
“Fear Itself,” the short-lived 2008 TV show. I figure 13 episodes of cult horror will simply scare me right off the island.
3. What would you like as a wedding present?
A London Naval Conference. I’d have lots of sailors, including “one of the finest and most attractive and butchest fighting forces in the world,” stand as witnesses to my marriage. And wait’ll you see the after party.
4. What do you worship?
Hinduism in Mexico. No, I don’t practice it; I worship it. You just hear about it and know it’s one awesome cultural fusion. And one of the Hare Krishna Centres is a restaurant – they must incorporate Mexican and Indian foods for extreme spices in their worship. Now that’s transcendental!
5. What is your secret obsession?
The Center for Research of Private Economy at Zhejiang University. How can a center by that name operate under a communist regime? I’m determined to find out.
6. What will you dream about tonight?
Ante Jazić, Canadian soccer player. Mmm, Ante… but it won’t be that kind of dream!
7. What would you buy, if you could afford it?
Esnouveaux, a commune. Nice, unsuspecting place to get a foot in the door for changing the cultural face of France.
8. What would you write a book about?
The First Collier Ministry. Americans don’t know jack about Australian history, so this is a start. I’ll tart it up for sale purposes, of course.
9. What do you collect?
Lawrence Vickers. Well, memorabilia related to him, anyway. There are better Cleveland Browns, but none who’ve had to live with a surname so close to Michael Vick’s. If he gets jinxed into a scandal of his own, these items will be prized rarities in decades to come.
10. What do you associate your favorite memory with?
The Static Jacks. Their rendition of “Fire on the Bridge and in the Tunnel Below” was playing when I hit the, well, jackpot in Reno.
11. What's the most useless thing you know?
UnRAR. It’s bad enough that both GNA and RARLAB released versions under the same name, but who on Earth really needs a command line application to extract archives in a non-documented file format?
12. What's your favorite topic of conversation?
Kerben, Kyrgyzstan. The whole Tulip Revolution started there, folks, and this is very recent history.
13. With what will you be working in your future profession?
The Northern Lakes Conference of Indiana. In the wake of Dennis Hopper’s death, I’ve been inspired by Hoosiers to coach high school basketball in that state. Guess I’ll have to play the sport first, tho.
14. What always makes you laugh?
Philippe Heberlé, Olympic gold-winning shooter. When people who think Frenchmen are inept cowards see what this guy can do with an air rifle, their expressions are priceless.
15. What always makes you cry?
Ellen Alfsen. Until last year, she was a deputy representative for the Norwegian Parliament. She will be sorely missed in that capacity, at least by loyal Christian Democrats. Wait – what do you mean “Christian Democrat” means something different in Norway?
16. What was the first thing you saw when you woke up?
“I Understand (Just How You Feel)” by Pat Best. See, my radio alarm clock goes another step by writing out the lyrics in front of me.
17. What do you have in your pocket?
John Wills Martin. Wikipedia is uncertain what happened to him after 1843, but I know the Anglo-Dutch justice for the peace is still alive, albeit very old. And very cramped.
18. What could you be replaced with so that nobody would even notice?
The Dutch stream known as the Gender. You know how some people pride themselves on being like rivers? Well, I’m a bit diminutive for that. And my job is basically to drain a friggin’ swamp.
19. What were your first words?
“Kholmsky District.” Already I was into tricky pronunciations.
20. What will you be buried with?
The Confederate Heartland Offensive. You’ve heard of burying the hatchet? Try burying an entire series of maneuvers and battles. I’ll be a posthumous peacemaker, baby.
21. What do you keep hidden in the drawer of your nightstand?
Bristol House. Residents of Lima, New York, won’t miss a historic home that size, will they?
22. What do you love most in the world?
The Nacophorini. Sorry, sis, but I have the opposite feeling about moths from yours, especially this taxonomic tribe.
23. What would you write a hit song about?
Gamma1 Caeli. A double star with a name of that rhythm and a “Celidh” sort of ending surely lends itself to romantic metaphor.
24. What can you see outside your window right now?
Bill Adama. Oh, snap, the Galactica is right outside my house! The series finale was even screwier than I thought!
25. What are you really?
Call me Batteux. I’m related to Albert the footballer and Charles the philosopher. Now you understand my interest in improving France’s honor.
