You know the deal: Leave a comment if you want some questions or have some for me.
1. You are a baseball player. What era are you representing, and why?
Hmm. I'm not that huge a baseball fan, but the '60s always seemed like a cool time to play baseball. Or the '70s, when things were still loose and nobody knew how sports culture was about to change. Plus I'd be hopped up on greenies all the time.
2. You wake up and find yourself in a comic book. You're pretty excited, but then you realize that it's Aquaman. How are you going to spice that shit up?
Aquaman is gangster, son! I am a fucking gold Adonis, and I'll stab you in the heart with my bad-ass trident, yo! He's strong enough to withstand the depths of the deepest ocean. That's STRENGTH, son! And he's king of fucking Atlantis! He controls the seas, yo! I'mma sic a shark on yo' ass! Laugh at me now, fools! I can swim 10,000 feet PER SECOND and swim up Niagara Falls - Michael Phelps ain't got nothin' on me! Even when I lost my hand, and grew long hair and a beard in my "psycho" phase, I just stuck a harpoon on that shit. And I roll deep with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman. Who are your drinkin' buddies, dude? And this is my bitch. Yeah. And she can hold her breath, know what I'm sayin'?
3. Do you root for Harvard/Syracuse athletics?
I root for neither. I am more into pro sports, and I never got into college sports then since I was really poisoned by going to a jock high school. So I was pretty sour on school sports in general and never followed them. They weren't for me. (Though I did mess around with a sprinter and a volleyball player at Harvard. Yowza.) I was at Syracuse during the basketball championship year, so I followed them, and I'll watch them on TV when I get a chance.
4. Do you prefer pre-20th century literature, or 20th century literature?
Hmm. I read a lot of pre-1800 literature, and a decent amount of modern stuff. It's tough to compare. But 20th-century lit has Vonnegut, Orwell, Alan Moore and Frank Miller. So 20th century wins.
5. It's Armageddon, but it's cool: An angel has given you a vehicle to escape with, and you are allowed to take 6 items with you, and one other person. I am sure I can guess who the other person would be, but what would your 6 items be?
A camera, since the things we'd be seeing have to be awesome. A good pair of shades for heaven. Cherry-flavored Rita's water ice. "The Dark Knight Returns" by Frank Miller. An Italian hoagie. And a towel. Always bring a towel.
