One of the best admissions in this thread ever.

I was an early bloomer with no guidance.

[Still-ill]

The origination of the term

[weeklymix]

I laughed at the definition.

[stinkbutt]

Did you laugh because it is accurate?

Drink of choice?

Did you really read Aquaman? What other "lame comics" did you read?

- No my initial thought was the mermaids posting about their save the walrus cause or whatever.

- Gin & tonic or a top shelf gin with soda.

- Yep and just Aquaman for a little while. I had a marine biology tick when I was a kid. Aquaman was around the height of my fascination. I still have some issues in a closet somewhere.

do you pee in the shower?

who is your favorite character from Willow?

[Gribbz]

"Ooh, I'm really scared. No! Don't! There's a- a peck here with an acorn pointed at me!"

[lickety_spit]

hahah

my mom called me "peck" after that movie.

...bitch.

[weeklymix]

I pee everywhere.

Jeez, Willow. It's been forever but probably Madmartigan just because it's Val Kilmer. The comic relief duo wasn't bad... Rool and something I don't know.

[fiopadp7791]

Play any sports?

Favorite sports teams college or pro?

[weeklymix]

- In high school I ran track and played golf. Also there was this tradition where "funny" junior and senior guys tried out to essentially be the cheerleaders' escorts. It was supposed to be similar to the UTexas Wranglers or something (the guys that take care of the actual Longhorn mascot). We'd basically get horribly wasted and badger the cheerleaders on the bus / at the game. Everybody expected us to be wasted and faculty damn near encouraged it. My first year was that program's last.

Favorite Sports Teams:
NBA: San Antonio Spurs
NFL: Pittsburgh Steelers
College Football: Oregon Ducks
College Basketball: Villanova Wildcats / Oregon Ducks

I'd be lying to say I had much of an interest in any other sport.

That's a really good question.

[weeklymix]

What is the worst nightmare you've ever had?

Favorite food(s)?

- My worst nightmares are typically ones that seem to manifest themselves later on in waking life or nightmares based on actual past events. The lucidity and déjà vu feeling is just too creepy. I don't think I've ever had a monster-under-my-bed dream.
- Favorite foods: Fried okra, banana cream pie from Hoover's in Austin, most sushi, grits, puffy tacos, eggs in any form, Sriracha sauce.

What's up with the Oregon football program teeming with miscreants?

- They don't steal, they need that stuff.

How do you prefer listening to music? Describe in terms of the setting, equipment, special items required (like a specific cocktail), and guest list.

- Bombay & soda, laptop so I can pretend I'm being productive while listening to music, big Sony headphones, no guests, and I really like listening to full albums. If I'm angry I've been known to blast albums in my car and drive aimlessly for hours.

[weeklymix]

also, you're a famous celebrity who is on a high-speed car chase with the cops. why are you famous and why are they chasing you?

- Alright, not trying to bullshit you guys on this at all. The original "one that got away" is my current girlfriend. First time I met her she was 12, I was 14. We had a really bizarre connection. I was a teacher's helper or whatever as an 8th grader for her class. She became a cheerleader in high school, I was the wasted older guy yelling at the cheerleaders or whatever and we always sat together going to football games, etc. I always saw her at parties, we always flirted, nothing ever happened. I went to college in Oregon for 3 years. While I was home for the Summer of '09 we went out to dinner for my mom's birthday. She happens to be a waitress at the restaurant. She's my brother's age so I asked him if she was dating anybody. He said no but he had also lost her number. I didn't find this out until after we had left the restaurant and didn't want to embarrass her at work for running back in there to ask. Having missed the opportunity yet again and feeling kind of dejected I headed to the bar later that night. I ran into one of her coworkers and after basically professing my love for this girl told me that she was texting the girl right now. I said "ask her if I can have her number." Her coworker showed me the text that said "YES!!!!" We went out two nights later and have been together since. Eventually I found out she had always had a thing for me and was just too shy to speak up. Also that night at her restaurant was her first night on the job. So... 8 years of constantly getting away and we're finally dating.

- I'm a failed prop comic who successfully starred in one slapstick comedy film and is noted for my outbursts on several VH1 reality shows. My maroon PT Cruiser is screaming down I-35 from Austin to San Antonio, TX. I'm obviously headed there to kill my mother. The police had scheduled a drug raid on my beat up condo but my buddy from high school is a cop and tipped me off to get the hell out of Dodge. I'm going to kill my mother because I feel like my problems and failures in life can be entirely blamed on her. It's also way easier for my state of mind. Hitting the spike strips I swerve off into the grassy embankment. I reach for the first prop I ever used to get famous, a child's water pistol. I rip it off the commemorative plaque I had made to honor my successes. I come out pointing it and screaming for the pigs to die. I die in a hail of lead clutching something so fake, yet so very real.

[justinaqui]

Good answer. I agree that it has to be full albums. The goddamn "iPod Generation" needs to get off my lawn.

[Monklish]

Full albums suck. People like you are a pain in the ass to drive anywhere with.

[chairmenmeow47]

*puts on freud face*

you've mentioned your mother a few times. can you please explain her crazyness in full detail?

ha ha ha, i loved on our road trip across country pants when you said you wanted to listen to a full album and selected abbey road, only to HAVE to listen to hear comes the sun

[justinaqui]

I can make an exception for an expertly crafted mix, especially for a driving situation. What I can't make an exception for is picking out the new number one hit single and playing it on repeat for an hour.

Sorry for the interruption and for not being clear.

[weeklymix]

*puts on freud face*

Any ill feelings essentially boils down to her projecting her instability on me at a young age resulting in years of the wrong person seeing shrinks. A good example might be one time she just began opening and slamming my bedroom door repeatedly while screaming a single solid note. It broke up the note kind of like talking into a slow desk fan. She lasted for the longest I've heard anybody scream. Broken plates, etc. She still hasn't seen a shrink regularly but unfortunately was diagnosed with a variety of other health problems so she has calmed down quite a bit since then. We're very much alike and I don't blame any of my shortcomings on her.

[chairmenmeow47]

is your mom ace ventura?

[weeklymix]

She loves animals more than humans. She cried for months when her dog died yet shows her eagerness for her mother's death.
