No--not there when we bought the house, way down the list of potential improvements.
Have you seen a movie in a movie theater in the last 90 days?
Printable View
I have not. Last two days there has been a dense fog warning in my area, but I've been under the weather, so I opted not to go to the office until later both days.
Have you written with a fountain pen in the last year? (I have, it's part of my rotation of changing between pencils, ballpoint pens-cheap and expensive, gel pens, and fountain pens. It's weird, but it motivates me work-wise.)
No- use a pencil most days.
Do any of you have step kids? What's the relationship like?
I have no biological children, God looked at me and said, "that gene pool needs some chlorine", but my kids are just that; my kids.
That is the only healthy way it should be- they have a father, but they also have a Pap.
Favorite, non-adult beverage?
Yes? No? Maybe.....(yikes...thinking back to those words issued by Rebecca DeMornay in.....nevermind. Man, that was a great movie, but not because of the story lines.)
I'm going to assume that Pappy's question is,
"Do you have a favorite non-adult beverage?"
My answer would be, "Yes, coffee." I would say water, but I enjoy coffee more than I enjoy water, although I drink ten tons more water than I do coffee. So I guess you could argue that my "yes" should be for water instead.
I could have said "yes," and then chosen something sweet to drink, but I don't drink soft drinks anymore (I don't have anything against it, and if I'm thirsty enough, I'll drink a coca-cola or whatever).
I'll stick with Pappy's general line here--
Do you prefer Coca-Cola over Pepsi-Cola?
RC - but type II has pretty much brought that to a halt, so Coke Zero.
Last time, if ever, you went frog gigging?
Close to 30 years ago was the last time I went wading for frogs. My FIL was a Louisiana "wannabe' cajun and he got me hooked on the sport. We used to go twice every weekend during the season.
Do you hate going to visit the dentist?
No. Most people do. I used to. I now have a dentist I really like, and it seems technology has caught up where they don't do so many things that irritate me. Plus they give me nitrous oxide when I walk in the door, so that helps.
Just kidding on the laughing gas. But I've reached the point in my life where I like going as a "tune-up," to keep things in good order that I used to take for granted, like my teeth.
Have you printed a photo you have taken with your camera (or phone) recently? (I find I take tons of photos, but almost never print anymore.)
Yes, usually not too traumatic, but still not fun.
Have you ever woke up in bed naked next to a transvestite prostitute? (Figured I'd go big for my first question)
I do here and there to show a client, but not often.
Have you ever been arrested or even just placed in the cruiser? Hoping someone has a funny version of this question, where they got busted for protesting in the 60s or mistaken identity or something. If you're a three time felon posting from FOlsom I'd probably prefer you not let it out here. :)
Yes--I was placed in a cruiser and driven to the police station when I was 17. I was at a camp-out party where there was a bunch of drinking. About 2 am (because lots of good things happen after 2 am) a girl decided she wanted to go home. I knew I was drunk and shouldn't drive, but somehow I let myself get talked into getting in the car with another girl who was equally too drunk to drive. So here are 3 drunk high school kids riding in a car through downtown Flatwoods, Kentucky at 2:15 am.
Of course, a cop pulled us over, took us back to the police station and did the worst thing he could do: he called our parents. If he had given me the choice of staying in jail that night and releasing me the next morning or calling my parents, I definitely would've chosen jail.
None of us were ever charged, including the driver, which is how it was done back in 1980 I guess, but I doubt the driver would've gotten off that easy now. Maybe in a small town. (BTW, the driver is now a doctor and professor at a medical school, so the cop calling her parents and not charging her was a great break.)
So, next question:
Have you ever used a smoker?
Used one< heck I built one. I used a 250 gallon propane tank, a salvaged 2 wheel trailer, stainless steel conveyor chain, and some steel to build the firebox. I can smoke 12 whole turkeys or 22 boston butts at a time. I love it and so do friends and neighbors.
Do you snow ski?
That's hard core, Dan! I bought an entry-level electric smoker a few years ago but never did a whole lot with it: smoked about 1 butt/summer, some ABTs, etc. I like smoked anything but Mrs. BEvans does not and when we became empty-nesters I couldn't see doing it for just me. 1 of those things I might try to work with again someday.
No, not a big fan of smoked foods. Only get a taste for that stuff once or twice a year. Otherwise, nope.
When was the last time you swam, snorkeled, or scuba dived in the ocean?
I'll answer both.
No.
Everybody in my family has, except me. It's not a big deal with us, and every time I could have, there was some obstacle keeping me from it. Maybe someday.
Yes, I've snorkeled in the ocean. Most recently, if you count the Gulf of Mexico, in the last couple of years. Otherwise, heck. Maybe 20+ years ago in the Cayman Islands with the stingrays and such. That was a blast.
I have never been diving. Another, "one day" thing. (Edit - I missed the swim part. If Gulf of Mexico counts, a couple of months ago).
Have you eaten a warehouse store sandwich recently? (asked the guy sitting at Costco eating their turkey provolone sandwich, surprisingly good).
No, but I do love the Costco hotdogs!!
Will you be attending the San Francisco Folsom Street Fair this weekend? Attachment 6806Attachment 6807
No. There are things that can be seen that do not warrant viewing
Do you have newspapers delivered to your home?
Yes. But only 2 or 3 days a week. Maybe Wednesday, Friday and Sunday? I don't remember. The Birmingham News no longer prints daily, but we may not even get it as often as they publish.
I rarely read it. But it's enjoyable when I do. I like reading it in hand as opposed to a computer or phone screen, where most of my reading occurs.
Did you or your child play varsity high school sports?
On a dare, as opposed to just enjoying it as a hobby?
No, I have never streaked on a dare.
(I answered the question precisely.) Hey, I want to hear your story behind the question when you get a chance.
In the meantime, next question--
Have you ever lost a hat on a roller coaster or other amusement park ride?
No.
I threw in the 'dare' part as a plausible excuse for anyone who would need it. I ran to the mailbox and back for $10 once on a dare (it was dark---good excuse?) Another time I ran about 70 yards both ways (dark again but the distance made it much more daring. I was about 15 then) it was a mutual dare. I want to hear the reason behind your question.
Ever randomly walk up to a girl and kiss her in the middle of her conversation with another guy. (not in any way related to the last question)
No. They used to do that to me.
Ever wondered how big a "yay" is when someone says "Its about yay big"?
Yes. Will not try to name them, but my lovely wife is addicted to Christmas movies and during November and December I am subjected to a constant diet of those movies, sometimes 3 or 4 times.
Do you like your neighbors?
Yes, the Lord blessed me with two awesome, Christian neighbors, Kenny & Tammy and their two daughters have been a blessing to us. Oh, by the way Kenny is a Baptist preacher, I can't get away from them.:sign0157:
When was the last time you had squirrels, biscuits and gravy for breakfast?
Have I ever had squirrel, biscuits and gravy for breakfast?
Yes, once when I was in college. Went hunting with a buddy of mine and that's what they had for breakfast.
Have you ever had a sickening, nauseating, helplessness, viciously angry to the point you want to wreck a hotel you're staying in feeling after a Kentucky football game?
Damn right, tonight.
When was the last time you longed for the days of Coach Jerry Claiborne and the Wide Tackle Six?
Nope, no trip for me this weekend.
Can you see may stars from your backyard at night?
Many times. And pecan, too.
Have you ever lost your wallet, or had it stolen?
( my favorite snack, and sometimes meal, is chicken grape salad scooped with Wheat Thin crackers)
(BTW, D, I followed up on your request earlier in this thread)
No, at least as far as I can remember. For some time now I've kept my wallet in my front pants pocket which is deeper and far more likely to notice if there's an attempt to lift it and very, very seldom do I carry cash.
Did you ever pop wheelies on a bike with a banana seat and butterfly handle bars?
Every day! Mine had the thing on the back end that would keep you from falling off.
Ever spent Christmas Eve in a seedy hotel in Charlotte because the airport was fogged in?
No, I don't ever remember staying in a hotel around the Christmas holidays.
Do you own any Adidas sports gear.... shoes, sweats, t's etc?
