1) Some weird hippie Indian Shaman freaky Graham Greene looking dood emerges from the forest and bestows upon you a familiar, totem animal, animal sidekick or [Insert Term Here], to emulate you and do your evil bidding. Which would it be? Why?
Carl Sagan, because then he wouldn't be dead anymore. If I have to stick with non-humans, I'll take fleash eating bacteria...the perfect assassin. If I have stick to something boring, I'll take a small monkey, because they have hands and would useful for the widest variety of evil deeds.
2) Which technological breakthrough predicted for the year 2000 that didn't happen did you most want to see: A)Flying Cars, B)Wrist Videophones, C)Houses on the Moon or D) Champagne piped into your living room?
By a process of elimination, C) Houses on the Moon
Flying Cars = Flying rush hour, Bad Bad Bad
Wrist Videophones: as if cell phones aren't bad enough
Champagne? I don't drink, besides my utility bills are high enough as it is
3) Describe your first computer system; and your first Internet experience.
Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I with 4k of RAM. I quickly added a cassette player for offline storage so I didn't have to retype my D & D character generator program from scratch each time. My first Internet experience was through Prodigy. I've mostly blanked it out.
4) A Fairy of Impractical Wishes grants you your not-so-fondest wish: The classic Arcade game of your choice in your living room, complete with an endless supply of tokens. Which one would it be? Why?
If I have to play it, Tiger Heli. If I can just listen to the music, Crater Raider.
5) Said Fairy, on his way out the door after raiding your fridge and drinking out of the carton, offhandedly grants you the ability to bring back one TV show that has been cancelled. Which one? Why?
The Sonny and Cher show, so I could watch Cher recoil in horror from zombie Sonny Bono.
