Ganked from

Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed? My house is 142 years old! What is this "closet" of which you speak?

Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel? No. I try not to "collect" things, even toiletries.

Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out? Sometimes this changes during the course of a night.

Have you ever stolen a street sign before? Before what? I don’t think so.

Do you like to use post-it notes? No. I prefer email.

Do you cut out coupons but then never use them? Yes. Sometimes I go to the Customer Service desk and get the coupon deducted from my receipt after the fact.

Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of a bees? Bears have much bigger brains and it seems much more likely that I could convince him/her to call off the attack.

Do you have freckles? A few. My chinfur has a reddish tint.

Do you always smile for pictures? No. For some US government purposes, any photo with a smile in it gets rejected. Happiness is not allowed!

What is your biggest pet peeve? Why does my pet dog choose to throw up *next* to his puppy pad???

Do you ever count your steps when you walk? Yes. Doesn’t everyone?

Where do you think question 12 went? It’s right here, at the beginning of this line.

And question 13? Why not “OR question 13”? Perhaps “IF and ONLY IF question 13?”

Do you ever dance even if there’s no music playing? No. I do not dance even if there’s no music.

Do you chew your pens and pencils? Not during this millennium.

How many people have you slept with this week? But it’s Sunday, so the week is just beginning! Let’s see, last night it was… Wifey.

What size is your bed? King size, baby! But it’s too large — queen size is better for snuggling.

What is your song of the week? I gave this question a great deal of thought during the last few milliseconds, but in the end I decided not to answer it. You can’t make me!

Is it okay for guys to wear pink? Yes. Symbolism doesn’t really matter that much.

Do you still watch cartoons? Yes, but much less often now that my children are older.

What’s your least favourite movie? Why in the world would I want to produce an answer for this question? That would require reminding myself of something that (by hypothesis) I prefer not to remember.

Where would you bury hidden treasure if you had some? Everyone has some.

What do you drink with dinner? President’s Choice 5-fruit juice. It’s mostly raspberry.

What do you dip a chicken nugget in? I eat them NEKKID!

What is your favourite food? San Fransisco Style Sesame Breadsticks.

What movies could you watch over and over and still love? None. If you watch something over and over, it loses all meaning.

Who is best pony? xolo, as far as I know. Or maybe these guys?

Were you ever a boy/girl scout? No.

Would you ever strip or pose nude in a magazine? Sure! I imagine that this would happen because I was in a horrible accident in which much of my clothing was destroyed, and a photographer just happened to be passing by. Excellent chance of a snarky caption!

When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper? Not all that long ago. I distinctly remember writing to the bank that held the mortgage on my previous house, telling them that I wasn’t going to pay anymore. Later, when that house was sold and they got full payment, they sent me a very nice reply.

Can you change the oil on a car? Probably, but I haven’t tried in 20 years and cars have changed a bit in the meantime.

Ever got a speeding ticket? Yes, but I wasn’t on amphetamines at the time.

Ever ran out of gas? Yes. My gas gauge was unreliable.

Favourite kind of sandwich? One made for me by Wifey, so I don’t have to deal with food prep.

Best thing to eat for breakfast? I don’t eat much for the first few hours after arising.

What is your usual bedtime? Oh, 2-3 am is often nice. I used to stay up until 4-5am when I was at university, but us greymuzzles have to slow down a little.

Are you lazy? I am a professional computer programmer.

When you were a kid, what did you dress up as for Hallowe'en? Different things most years.

What is your Chinese astrological sign? I am not Chinese.

How many languages can you speak? I can mutter some words in quite a few of them, but I generally stick to English.

Do you have any magazine subscriptions? No. I used to subscribe to Science News, until I realized that I had already seen most of the stories on the Internet before the glossy magazine finally arrived.

Which are better, Legos or lincoln logs? Hard to say. Lego bricks stick together better, but I had an easier time coming up with creative shapes for Lincoln logs (all my Lego buildings ended up looking the same).

Are you stubborn? I am a professional computer programmer!

Who is better...Leno or Letterman? I used to prefer Letterman, but now I don’t watch either of them. The Internet is more entertaining!

Are you afraid of heights? No.

Do you sing in the car? Rarely.

Do you sing in the shower? No.

Do you dance in the car? It’s too cramped.

Ever used a gun? Yes, I have used a variety of tools. I think my favourite was the “soldering gun” which was a soldering iron shaped like a very large pistol.

Last time you got a portrait taken by a photographer? Canadian citizenship application.

Do you think musicals are cheesy? I prefer pizza.

Is Christmas stressful? Hanukkah is stressful because of the large number of presents I have to select.

Ever eat a pierogi? Yes.

Favourite type of fruit pie? Blueberry.

Occupations you wanted to be when you were a kid? I am a professional computer programmer — which is much better than anything I imagined as a pup.

Do you believe in ghosts? Yes. They are everywhere, all around us. Nothing to write home about.

Ever have a Deja-vu feeling? Apparently I induce this feeling in others.

Take a vitamin daily? Not every day. I prefer “Pioneer” brand chewable multivitamins, which are made near my undergraduate alma mater in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts.

Wear slippers? Yes. My basement floor is very old concrete that was probably due for replacement decades ago.

Wear a bath robe? No. Baths should be NEKKID.

What do you wear to bed? Jockeys.

First concert? Billy Joel, 1982.

Wal-Mart, Target or Kmart? Wal-Mart. They have the best quality cheap Chinese imports.

Nike or Adidas? I prefer Wal-Mart cheap Chinese imports.

Cheetos Or Fritos? Fritos.

Peanuts or Sunflower seeds? I eat peanuts more often.

Ever heard of the group Tres Bien? Wikipedia says that Quartette Trés Bien was a jazz ensemble in the 1960’s, which became Trio Trés Bien after Percy James left the group. All members of the surviving trio are surnamed ”Thompson”.

Ever taken dance lessons? No, but I studied figure skating from ages 3-6.

Is there a profession you picture your future spouse doing? I do not picture my “future spouse”.

Can you curl your tongue? Somewhat.

Ever won a spelling bee? Maybe some in-school thingy.

Have you ever cried because you were so happy? No.

Own any record albums? No. I used to have some, but my sister took them with her when she moved to Israel.

Own a record player? Yes, but only Wifey’s albums can be played on it (because mine have left the continent).

Regularly burn incense? No. Odours do not need covering up!

Ever been in love? No, I do not think that I will ever step foot in Love, which is a crater on the far side of the Moon. All available rocket technology requires more g’s than I am willing to undergo.

Who would you like to see in concert? Dunno. Concerts are rather loud.

What was the last concert you saw? Billy Joel, 1982. I got my girlfriend, which was all I wanted from the concert-going experience.

Hot tea or cold tea? Whatever.

Tea or coffee? Coca-cola!

Sugar or snickerdoodles? I have teeth issues.

Can you swim well? No.

Can you hold your breath without holding your nose? Yes.

Are you patient? That is how my physician thinks of me.

DJ or band, at a wedding? Just another excuse to spend money on a frivolous extra.

Ever won a contest? Yes. “My” sperm beat all the other sperm in the contest for “my” ovum.

Ever have plastic surgery? No, and I have the scars to prove it!

Which are better black or green olives? Neither. I prefer green peppers (and sometimes onions and mushrooms) on my pizza.

Can you knit or crochet? No. I think I may have done some knitting in junior high “home ec” class, but I don’t remember anything about it.

Best room for a fireplace? The boiler room of a steam locomotive.

Do you want to get married? Not again!

If married, how long have you been married? Parts of three different decades.

Do you like ice cream? Yes.

Do you cry and throw a fit until you get your own way? No. This is an excellent way to get me to *not* do whatever it is that you wanted.

Do you have kids? Yes, but they are not members of the subspecies Capra aegagrus hircus.

Do you want kids? I suppose I’d better, since they already exist!

What’s your favourite colour? Perhaps a somewhat brownish shade of ultraviolet.

Do you miss anyone right now? See question 21.

What would be a good question to ask here? Oh where, oh where, has my little question #100 gone???

Really, this isn't the post I had planned to make today, which was more along the lines of: "Approximately two of you will care that I have given up on finding a local source for a 100µF/450V capacitor and have purchased one from an Ebay seller in Florida."
