Here's my Cheddar X for this week. Some decent questions from Tiffany's Blown Fuse and some from me too. Before we get to it, I'd just like to say that the Friday Five has died, the Friday Five is dead, LONG LIVE THE CHEDDAR X!
1. Desert island scenario: 3 belongings.
My big swiss army knife, survival manual and lots and lots of sunscreen.
2. If you didn't have the name you have, what name would you like to have?
I write under a couple of different pseudonyms to maintain my plausible deniability defense but if I had a different name I'd like to go with Sebastian or Scott.
3. What's the craziest thing you ever did while drunk and/or high?
Just one? Um okay, Mom? Skip this part because you are not gonna wanna know. I promise.
Are you gone?
You better be gone.
The craziest and easily the dumbest thing I've done while drunk was as a teenager in high school we'd make the drunkest one of the bunch drive and then we'd race on the wrong side of the road all the way back into town.
Told you you didn't want to know, Mom.
4. What movie is your favorite "guilty pleasure"? (You could watch it over and over but are embarrassed to admit it).
I don't know about guilty pleasure but I can watch Breakfast at Tiffany's any time. Same thing for L.A. Confidential. Cheesy bad movie? Any of the Evil Dead series is good watching.
And then a couple more from me.
5. When was the last time you ate more than you should have because the food was so good? What were you eating?
The other night we had stuffed salmon from CostCo with artichokes, salad and garlic bread. It was awesome and both P and I were too stuffed by the end and we didn't finish it all because we fell into simultaneous food comas.
6. How many rechargable items do you have?
At least ten and probably closer to fifteen. Rechargables just work better for my lifestyle. Buying batteries all the time is a serious drag and not especially environmentally responsible, ya know? Yeah, kind of a stupid question, I know.
7. Will the rising costs of gas affect your driving habits? Or, is the cost of gas rising out of control where you live?
I'll ride my motorcycle as often as possible as our gas prices have spiked, no lie, twenty eight cents in two days. I laugh alot more when I'm out riding because I know the fools in their oversized Escalades and Excursions are dropping like eighty or ninety bucks at a time to fill up their gas guzzling wanker wagons. I'd support a gas guzzler tax but it ain't gonna happen since our governor drives a Hummer.
I do enjoy the smug superiority of getting 40 miles a gallon when I generally run somewhere in the neighborhood of 80 miles an hour. What do people get in those huge SUVs?
And By The Way
Not related to the Cheddar X at all but I have now learned the fate of a full third of Nande's litter. Last night, when I was shopping at Nob Hill, I mentioned to the guy ringing things up for me that I needed plastic bags as I had a puppy. Turns out he took home one of the Bear brothers (the ones who were well over 30 pounds at ten weeks. His new name is Coda, he's doing well, is huge, still bites a bit and will sleep in his space until 4 am when he comes and gets on the bed which makes his wife move to the couch.
I'm looking forward to getting together with all the pups again sometime soon. I know Nande will just be beside herself with excitement. My only fear is that she'll pick up some bad habits from them but she's pretty solid on most of her stuff. Its the jumping up that's gotta get attended to.
And here's a fresh pic of the girl pup. Nande funky closeup. More to come, of course!
