Take this Meme and shove it.

A meme thingy stolen from the spousal unit.

How tall are you barefoot?
6' 1", more if I lie down.

Have you ever flown first-class?
Yes, on a business trip years ago. The secretary who booked my flight must have liked me. Nice. Bigger seats, better food, drinks, and in case of a nose first crash I'd be one of the first to die.

One of your favorite books when you were a child?
Define child. I don't remember much of what I read before high school. Then it was The Lord of the Rings. I actually almost cried at the end. After investing so much time in it, it felt like I was saying goodbye to good friends.

A good restaurant in your city?
The spousal unit introduced me to Bertoldi’s Italian trattoria. Awesome food, but a little pricey. All my old favourites are gone or sadly degenerated in quality.

What is your favorite small appliance?
The Amazing Ronco Turnip Twaddler! But seriously, it would have to be the microwave, as I am a lazy cook.

One person that never fails to make you laugh?
Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld books. Read any beyond the first two, and you'll see.

First LP you ever bought?
The soundtrack to The Empire Strikes Back. I was such a little sci-fi nerd!

Do you do push-ups?
No, but I've recently re-started some weight lifting. A bench press is kind of an upside-down pushup, isn't it?

What was one of your favorite games as a child?
Again, define child. I started playing Dungeons & Dragons in grade 9 or so, and have loved the game ever since, though I never got to play as much as I would have liked. (still don't)

When you were twelve years old, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I never really thought about it back then. I was more concerned with my dad and helping him cope with his medical problems.

Your favorite Soup of the Day?
Spousal unit's spicy, bacon-cheeseburger soup. Great stuff. Even better the next day.

Have you ever met someone famous?
Douglas Adams, author of the Hitchhiker's Guide series, at a book signing in university. He had just travelled from Toronto through a nasty blizzard and wasn't in a very talkative mood. However, I was near the front of the line and snagged a couple of autographs before his hand got tired.

Date Of Birth?
See the profile.

From what news source do you receive the bulk of your news?
Daily Show, Colbert Report, Fark, Boing-Boing, Slashdot, CBC Newsworld, CTV Newsnet.

Current worry?
That the new job will fall through.

Current hate?
My ex-boss still has a special, dark, cold, spider-infested place in my heart. I'm sure this will fade to a socially acceptable background level with time.

Favorite place to be?
At home with Spousal-unit and the cats, or out being silly with our friends.

Least favorite place to be?
Any of the various circles of Hell. But I guess that's the point.
Any place playing loud, crappy music.

Do you consider yourself well organized?
Reasonably, when given the time and quiet to concentrate.

Do you believe in an afterlife?
Rationally, no. Deep down gut feeling: I certainly hope so.

Where do you think you will be in 10 Yrs?
In the bustling metropolis of Kincardine, and still working at the ol' atom mill.

Do you burn or tan?
In the sun, I tan. When on fire, I burn.

Are you more optimistic or pessimistic about the future?
Optimistic, mostly.
"The glass is neither half full or half empty, it is simply twice as big as it needs to be."

What did you fear was going to get you at night as a kid?
Nuclear war. Seriously, during the 80's I figured I probably wouldn't live to adulthood.

What’s in your pockets right now?
A magic ring of power....why does it wants to know, precious?

Last thing that made you laugh?
The 8th episode of the Hitchhiker's Guide Radio Series, to which I was just listening.

Worst injury you’ve ever had?
I've never had anything really serious. I guess the nasty scrape down my ribs from the corner of a railing after slipping on ice.

How many TVs do you own?
One. But someday I hope to have a room with fifty or more, so I can watch everything at once.

Best compliment received?
Pass.

What leaves you speechless?
Lack of oxygen.

What is your favorite book?
I can’t choose just one.

Last meal you cooked for the opposite sex?
Hell, I don't remember the last meal I cooked for myself!

What were you doing at 12 midnight last night?
Stalking the streets in search of evildoers to thwart. I'm Batman!
