More Cheddar for the Spreading
Without much intro, I give you this week's Cheddar X, It's Cheesier. I'm tired from honeymooning and sick now too. Hope these questions are fun for you all. Thanks to Chewie for question input.

1. Do you think NJ just passing a law banning people from driving while drowsy will be effective in preventing accidents, or just another law that will fall by the wayside after a few years?
I applaud the effort to safe-isize driving especially because I've had to very recently ask P to drive because I couldn't keep my eyes open. But making a law about being drowsy just seems like a good idea gone wrong, "drowsy" isn't a clinical term, there's no way to measure drowsiness as far as I know and the result of this new law will be just another way to bleed more money out of people.

2. What is the best book that you have ever read? What made it such an excellent book?
The best book? How about the best non-fiction or fiction instead? Or genre book? Books encompass such a tremendous range of knowledge that its too hard to say this one is the best. Especially given that books are of differing importance at different points in one's life. With all that said, I'd have to offer up three books, A Mantis Carol by Laurens van der Post, My Uncle Oswald by Roald Dahl and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter Thompson. And I'll abstain from a lengthy argument for each one but none has anything to do with the others.

3. If you were a multi-billionaire and decided to donate to a charity or good cause, what would they be?
I'd start my own charity dedicated to curing cancer, sending deserving but poor kids to college and removing assmasters like Carrot-top, Rush Limbaugh and Gilbert Gottfried from the public's awareness.

4. What was your best wedding present? If you've not been married before then best birthday present, same for the follow up below.
The most fun one has been the dual ice cream maker that lets us make two different kinds of ice cream at once. But the best present has been the release and ability to spend quality time with P in the absence of the pending wedding and all its myriad frenzies. The unspoken best present has to be the love and devotion of P though.

5. What was the worst?
I don't know about worst. How about those folks that attend the wedding and reception, don't help out and then don't even bother to write a card or anything at all. The worst gift we recieved? That's gotta be the gnarly sneezing and stuffed full of snot cold we picked up somewhere along the way last weekend.

Enjoy that? Then go and get your own Cheddar X, It's Cheesier!
