Robin Williams! I can't say exactly why except that he just cracks me up! I love watching him in interviews.
Who is yours?
I loved Phil Hartmann - he was just so versatile in terms of playing so many funny, funny characters. Also liked Chris Farley - such a lovable guy - I can't believe they're both dead.
I like Chris Rock a lot - he just says whatever the hell he thinks - really tells it like it is. I also like John Stewart - for the same reason - although he's a little more subtle.
Do you know, there are only two tv shows I miss watching - used to watch reruns of Saturday Night live everyday and the John Stewart show everynight, and just laugh my ass off.
Is there a tv show you just can't live without?
1469439-
We used to laugh at him quite a lot.Now I know why.
1469450-
Loads.Benny Hill,Tommy Cooper,Charlie Drake,
Chubby Brown,Arthur Askey,Gordon Brown,Harold Wilson,Jimmy Edwards-oh loads.A lot of bit parters too.
Do Americans like any of those?
What do the numbers refer to?
The only name I recognize is Benny Hill. But I also think John Cleese is hysterically funny - in a really understated British way- I like almost all the work he's done.
What did you do today?
The usual.Nothing worth typing up.Watching the Test Match is hardly doing something.That's the idea.It's a euphemism for lying down.
Did you do anything interesting?
Want to give me some sympathy?
Here's six buckets full.If that's not enough let me know and I'll hire a 20 ton tipper wagon.
I won't catch it will I?
Not likely I don't think.
Are you phobic about germs?
Not really.I sympathise with them a bit.That lovely green one they show hiding under the rims being doused with the efficient extermination agent in the squirter always brings a lump to my throat.
Does it not yours?
No, can't say that it ever has.
What other things bring lumps to your throat - besides germs?
The ending of 'Dancer in the Dark.' Lordy, that movie got to me.
I ask about Reese's b/c I have a mate living in London that I want to surprise with a care package. She loves them. I didn't want to ask her for fear of giving away the surprise, and I didn't turn up clear info when I googled. I left a post in the a2k food section, but I figured I'd put the question out here as well.
Thanks for telling me. . . I know my friend will appreciate it.
What was your favorite sweet growing up? I always liked tootsie roll lolipops.
I liked gobstoppers.They used to last ages and ages.
Do you know what they are where you live?
Yes, but I call them jawbreakers.
I liked anything chocolate - peanut butter cups are good - butterscotch hard candies-and fireballs - you know they're like jawbreakers that are flavored with that really red hot cinnamony flavoring.
Do you still indulge in a lot of the activities/experiences that you did when you were a kid?
If you mean like goofing off all over the place yes I do like it.Unfortunately due to factors beyond my control I don't have as much time now as I did then for goofing off.If I had been the fourth son of a Duke I could probably have goofed off forever and finished up in goofer off heaven.
Did you ever just goof it off all week?
We played a lot of hide and seek as children, so I guess
sometimes I do that today as well
I still like chocolates more than anything else....
Any other favorite foods?
I still color in coloring books. I actually think that I indulge in that more now than when I was a kid. It's really relaxing. I also read kid's books occasionally (Harry Potter) and watch animated movies from Pixar and the like. And I still fight with my brothers now and then. :wink:
I love Stoffer's Mac and Cheese, but I only have it once in a while.
Jeepers shazz.What are we supposed to do now.
There's no question to answer.It's a good job these games are easy to start up.
Why didn't you ask a question?
I was preoccupied with answering; my bad.
Let's see. Why don't we just continue with the food theme? Are you a good cook, and if so, what's your specialty?
Well, no one has died from my cooking (yet), so I guess
it must be okay. My specialty? Reservations!
You seem very young, so I guess you're not cooking
yet. Am I right?
Uh. . .well. How young is 'young'?
