Social Distortion and Husker Du were around by 1979 but probably not in a position to have realistically been signed, so I didn't count them.

I know I left a lot out but you said 6.

[TomAz]

I want to know exactly how you were feeling during and after the last drive of the Cardinals/Steelers Superbowl. I remember you were there.

I know this may be difficult still.

Yeah it pretty much sucked. Fucking Aaron Francisco.

exactly feeling: oh. shit. no. TACKLE THAT MOTHERFUCKER GOD DAMN IT

[TomAz]

Tom, you have the power to compel any and or all board members to answer one question truthfully in a public thread in order to avoid being banned. What is your magic question?

"How much would I have to pay you to sleep with Brokendoll?"

[koryp]

Tom, how much would I have to pay you to sleep with Brokendoll?

[TomAz]

"power to compel"

[koryp]

"power to compel"

You know you are thinking of a really witty answer. You don't have to keep that to yourself.

I am totally on board with this thread. I love that I finally get to fight the cyborg. Plus I get to do it with my well hidden dancing skills. I've kept them under wraps for the good of humankind.

[TomAz]

i had originally put down "How much would I have to pay you to sleep with me?" but then I decided that was creepy so I changed it. For the record I mean no disrespect toward Beverly I just like poking a little fun at her. $1000.

[PlayaDelWes]

Wow, that's pretty low. I'm pretty sure we can all conjure that up for ya.

Do you find yourself buying new or used? If you buy used do you ever wonder how much jizz, fecal matter, or dead hooker blood may be on said used item?

[TomAz]

I have never bought used underwear, no.

What one book do you think should be required reading for every student?

What is your favorite smell?

[Courtney]

Why haven't you and your family come to visit Hawaii/me?

[buddy]

tom,

describe your favorite childhood memory.

a quality you feel is important for everyone to have. And why?

and what artist or band has had the most significant impact in music? And why?

[TomAz]

What one book do you think should be required reading for every student?

I assume you mean literature, and by student I assume you mean high schooler. To Kill a Mockingbird still seems like a pretty good choice to me, though maybe it comes across as more dated than when I read it? though you know, maybe something less americentric is what's needed -- One Hundred Years of Solitude would be a good choice for skilled students. Not sure about the rest of them though.

What is your favorite smell?

The desert after it rains.

Why haven't you and your family come to visit Hawaii/me?

Well we've done part of that. Did I know you then?

[MissingPerson]

We did To Kill A Mockingbird in school - about eight years ago - and I don't believe that book has aged a day since it was written.

Proudest memory of the last five years?

[TomAz]

tom,

describe your favorite childhood memory.

- Am I weird? I don't look back on my childhood fondly, but I don't look back on it unfondly either. The romantic notion of 'favorite childhood memory' isn't part of my experience.

So here's my weirdest childhood memory instead. According to my brain's recollection, this actually happened, though of course it did not. When I was about 4, i stood at the top of the stairs, looking down. And I decided I could fly. So I jumped, and tumbled, slowly, slowly, in the air, carefully, over, over, and then landed gently on my feet at the base of the stairs, intact. My 4 year old brain (or rather, my memory of my 4 year old brain) thought 'that was really cool' and shrugged it off and found something else to do.


- I think everyone should be more patient. Myself included. Especially me. There's such an "I WANT IT NOW" mindset in the US (and maybe other cultures). Give me convenience or give me death.

- I'm going to interpret your last question to mean 'rock music' or 'pop music' and not music in general, cuz then we'd have to go back to things like Bach. I don't think any one band has had any more impact on where pop music is today than the Beatles. That's a tired answer, I know, but I cant' think of a better one.

Tom, what's your retirement plan? When did you start thinking about it? How has your plan changed since then?

[koryp]

Tom, give is a your thoughts on Roger Ebert.

[Courtney]

I assume you mean literature, and by student I assume you mean high schooler.

I meant any subject, books of fiction and nonfiction, and I meant a student of any age. Does that change your answer?

The desert after it rains.

I like that smell too.

Well we've done part of that. Did I know you then?

I guess not? Or you just slighted me, in which case I am extremely offended.

Tom, what is the perfect cup size for a woman

[TomAz]

Proudest memory of the last five years?

Several months ago I was named to an important office at work. Now I know that seems boring as hell, and it wasn't really a promotion (no money involved) but it reflects a level of trust and respect from my peers that still makes me .. well it makes me go uhhhhhhh. The fact that I respect, admire, and actually like about 90% of this group makes it all the more significant to me.

I'm also proud of the way my daughters have turned out. They're 19 and 15 now and they're good human beings that I am proud of.

[TomAz]

Tom, what's your retirement plan? When did you start thinking about it? How has your plan changed since then?

I've been saving significantly since I was about 25. Maxing out 401k contributions, and saving on top of that. I should be able to retire before 60 if I want, but more likely I'll keep working until I don't want to anymore.

Or were you asking investment strategy?

[TomAz]

Tom, give is a your thoughts on Roger Ebert.

I don't really have any. With a few important exceptions, movies have interested me less and less over time.

[TomAz]

I meant any subject, books of fiction and nonfiction, and I meant a student of any age. Does that change your answer?

The Cat in the Hat.

[TomAz]

Tom, what is the perfect cup size for a woman

I don't think it's one size fits all. Depends on the rest of the build. It's how the whole package looks that matters.

[Neighborhood Creep]

I'm enjoying Tom's wisdom.
