I try not to.
10. California grape pickers are on strike and organizing a boycott. The store only has California grapes and you really want some. Do you buy them?
Probably. It would depend on the merits of the strike I guess. Although I probably wouldn’t be well enough educated to make a good judgement.
1. C stands for _______.
A: Carolina – the shaggy donkey.
2. What did you want to be when you grew up?
A: Let’s see, when I was 5, I wanted to be an “army man”. Good choice moving on from there….in high school I wanted to be an engineer, but my high school guidance counselor said there was no future in that. Good thing I had a hard time listening to authority….
3. What was your favorite toy as a child?
A: That would be Nipper, a giant stuffed animal mimicking the RCA dalmatian with the tilted head.
4. What clique were you in, in high-school?
A: The “smart” jocks. Totally consumed by sports but not the hard core jock clique that thought (if they were even capable of “thought”) sports was everything. Our very small clique cared about sports, reading, music and girls and was very non-exclusive.
5. Do you prefer escargot or caviar?
A: Probably caviar if eaten as an accessory to something else, like a seven layer smoked salmon, caviar and cream cheese sandwich. If you have to eat them by themselves, probably a reluctant vote for escargot.
6. The last thing you burned while attempting to cook?
A: Chicken on a very hot grill.
7. What is your sinful snacking weakness?
A: Brownies, especially when topped with peanut butter frosting and chocolate ganache. Bad, bad, bad.
8. When someone gets your answering machine/voicemail, what do they hear?
A: “This is Larry Turnbaugh of …I’m either away from my desk or on the phone. If you leave your name, number and a brief message, I’ll get back to you as soon as I can”.
9. Do you ramble when you leave a phone message?
A: Usually I’m pretty good…I’ve heard enough rambling messages on MY voicemail to learn that first give name, number and a brief message, THEN ramble….that way the other person can hit as soon as they hit the “yadda yadda yadda”.
10. California grape pickers are on strike and organizing a boycott. The store only has California grapes and you really want some. Do you buy them?
A: I didn’t know they were on strike! For that particular strike, I don’t think it hits home with impact….I probably buy grapes if I really want them.
1. C stands for _______.
Chocolate
2. What did you want to be when you grew up?
A dancer
3. What was your favorite toy as a child?
My Jackie-O Barbie, I guess – or maybe my play bake set that had mini-boxes of cakes, cookies, pancakes, etc. and tasted like crap so I’d feed it to my brother (who loved everything, btw).
4. What clique were you in, in high-school?
I didn’t do cliques
The anti-clique clique
5. Do you prefer escargot or caviar?
Not wild about either but will eat both given the opportunity
6. The last thing you burned while attempting to cook?
Eggs (on an electric range)
7. What is your sinful snacking weakness?
Not a big snacker. Are nuts and cheese sinful?
8. When someone gets your answering machine/voicemail, what do they hear?
See Telgator’s response, above.
9. Do you ramble when you leave a phone message?
Nope
10. California grape pickers are on strike and organizing a boycott. The store only has California grapes and you really want some. Do you buy them?
Yep
I never filled this out…. Whoopsie!
1. C stands for _______.
Coffee!!!
2. What did you want to be when you grew up?
A ballerina until they told me I’d never be a prima because of my amazonian figure. Assholes.
3. What was your favorite toy as a child?
A big stuffed horse named Horsey. Yeah. I was wicked creative in naming my stuffed animals.
4. What clique were you in, in high-school?
The apathetic clique? I had my close group of 5 ladies, but we were all pretty different. Kinda punk rock, not “drinking in Little Stevie’s instead of going to school” punk rock. I tried to not play into the “who’s cooler than who” social scenes.
5. Do you prefer escargot or caviar?
Escargot baby! with lots of butter and garlic… yumm.
6. The last thing you burned while attempting to cook?
Probably toast. I’m always either burning or undercooking stuff in the toaster oven.
7. What is your sinful snacking weakness?
I usually snack pretty healthy, but i have a weak spot for anything that I can put peanut buter on or veggies slathered in as much Marie’s blue cheese dressing as possible.
8. When someone gets your answering machine/voicemail, what do they hear?
When i got a new phone plan last year I think recorded a semi-boring, semi professional sounding message just saying who i am, and asking people to leave a message. Before that I had one for a long time that said something insane like “Yo, what up bros, gimme yo digets.” 4 years after i recorded it, it was pretty embarrassing that everyone who called me, including people like my grandmother, had to hear that stupid message.
9. Do you ramble when you leave a phone message?
Occasionally, but I try not to…
10. California grape pickers are on strike and organizing a boycott. The store only has California grapes and you really want some. Do you buy them?
If i was REALLy craving them, I’d probably get them anyways.
