Guidelines for interviewing:

I guess I'll start this off with a rather easy question, though it may take a while to figure out the answer.

1. What is your favorite food? Why?

Like every 9 year old, it was once Pizza, but like any red blooded American who will eventually die of a heart attack, Im goign to go with a nice Medium Well burger with all the fixings, except mayo cause its poison. Why? Thats tough, I guess it brings little patriotic tear to my eye everytime I get one, and the waitress chick who brings it out...not too hard on the eyes none either

Well, tough question cause I could name quite a few but I dont want to leave anyone out, so Ill go with a few.

Ching, Putter, and when Smithy is around, I like learning from him because his sarcasm and wit is second to none

I dont think I pulled that joke off, sorry Mentor

1. I can say 6 feet without blowing up a lie detector machine

2. Nope..unless you meant to ask Are you up for Italian? In which case, of course

3. 3 brothers

4. Thats a tough one, so many odds ones, had a recent one where the guy from No Country For Old Men was after us. My mom was not taking it at all seriously, and I was like you know this guy is coming to kill us, and then we fled somewhere but it gets hazy. Also the dream where I ran into the Grim Reaper on some eeire swamp in the woods, or that incredibly sinister truck driver I saw on the corner of my block..makes sense right

5. Depends on the weekend, some I dont do a whole lot, most others, just out with friends, some of us have a sort of circuit for UFC fight pay per views. I dont know, like I said sometimes Im out sometimes Im not haha

Hey Spider Dan, I have a few questions for you:

1. What is your most favorite time of the day/night? Why?

2. Do you like to shop?

3. Do you like to cook? If so, what is your specialty, if not, why not?

4. What is your favorite fruit?

5. A long solitary walk or a rock concert, which is your favorite pastime?

1. Thats tricky, definitly not the day, cause..you know..work and all. If Im heading to the gym and got the energy sometimes that is the best time. If Im taking a day off, Id say as soon as I get home. If its a tough day, when I finally get home from the gym..so it all depends haha

2. No...no I dont haha

3. Actually I have spurts of cooking and then spurts of not cooking. Actually got a Chicken recipe a friend gave me that's pretty easy to make. People eat it they think Im a good cook for some reason, I mean how hard is it to set the oven to bake?! When I dont cook its usually because I havent gone grocery shopping in a while. Getting home at 8-9 on gym days makes it tough to really care about cooking so I hit the WAWA (convenice store in the Philly Area) and pick up a sandwich or something until Ive had enough of that and go on a cooking cycle haha.

4. Another one thats difficult to say. I dont really know for sure, Ill give you a few, Strawberry, Kiwi, Grapefruit (at least when I was younger) Mango........and some people here will know what I mean when I say Passion Fruit

5. Believe it or not Ive never been to a concert...seriously...or a long solitary walk, though I have done long solitary runs, while listening to my rock music...so.....Im hoping something profound was said there...no?!

1. Of course, the spotlight is where I shine (OMG someone write that line down)

2. Well this all depends. I assume Wiid is the censored version of Putter's favorite plant. To know how much could be chucked, we of course need to know which Chuck you meant in your question. For arguments sake, we will assume Chuck Liddell, a former UFC champion. However, you have based this on a seemingly incrongrouous conditional statement relating to a Wood Chucke....You know what this is painful...I dont know, 6 pounds?

3. Thanksgiving, like all children it was once Christmas but I think TG sort of takes over once you hit the 15-20 range, at least for a few of the people Ive talked about it with. Santa stops bringing you presents so Christmas kind of slides downhill about then. Meanwhile, TG has football, food, and two days off from work so its a pretty sweet package. Plus TG with me is just with my immeadeate family (6 of us) so no real headaches to deal with there

So it begins.

1. Biggest mood killer.
2. The whole sneaking food into a movie theatre issue: where do you stand? (I reserve the right to report your answer.)
3. Right here, right now, which would you rather: beef, pork, or chicken?
4. On average, how many times a month do you get Chinese take-away?
5. Three of these five questions involve food, somehow. That probably annoys me more than you. Next topic. The beach or the mountains?

1. Mood killer...hmmmmm....i dont know how to articulate it, not that we all dont have an arrogant/prideful side, but when people start feeling all self-important...Its tough to explain what I mean, I mean Im guilty of it to, but none of us are that important, just calm down with the attitude haha

2. I havent been to a movie since I am Legend like 4 years ago, but I read some article (probably on cracked a week ago that dealt with your question...seriously cracked is a fountain of wisdom) I learned that theatres make almost all of their profit off of snacks so it is an interesting dilemna. Before I would have said, yo bro sneak that stuff in, but now I dont know...ask me again in about 23 days

3. Chicken, almost always Chicken, know any good chicken joints

4. twice, when the office orders it for lunch..I go with the Sweet and Sour Chicken

5. The "man" in me wants to automatically say mountain. I think part of the reason is that beach calls forth the idea of boardwalks, summer houses, and Sea Isle City Bar flies haha. I cant ski, I cant hunt, so I guess as much as my instincts tell me to say it, I have to say Beach. Besides, there is something undeniably alluring mysterious, and romantic about the ocean at night time. Its actually quite something

1. What kind of life do you lead? (I realize this is an overly-generalized question with many possible paths to get you to your answer)

First of all whats with all these questions, when I signed up for this I was under the impression people were just gonna tell me how aweseom I was.....Softball...a word please

1. Its tough to say, Im just gonna copy and paste my answer to Debs question

Thats a tough one, so many odds ones, had a recent one where the guy from No Country For Old Men was after us. My mom was not taking it at all seriously, and I was like you know this guy is coming to kill us, and then we fled somewhere but it gets hazy. Also the dream where I ran into the Grim Reaper on some eeire swamp in the woods, or that incredibly sinister truck driver I saw on the corner of my block..makes sense right

2. I would have to think long and hard on that to give a truly accurate answer and that seems like a silly thing to think about unless Im prepping for a job interview

. I recall being extremely proud after my last race freshman year of college, part I did really well , part adrenaline enduced euphoria. There are probly better answers than that, but IT IS WHAT IT IS

3. This answer tends to change, when I was a kid it was orange...for...some reason.....
I feel like blue is the cliche answer, but I have to go with blue. It's the only color that seems to be "vital" as in its the one color that if you dont have something is missing. Like a sports game for instance, it always seems better when there is a blue team involved

but anyway, like you asked. 1. BLUE 2. RED 3. ORANGE

I suppose I'll go with the all-time classic:

1) If you knew today was your last day on Earth (how depressing D: ), how would you spend it and why?
