100 Things About Me (26-50)
26. I think all presidential elections should be decided via reality television. Set up three or four candidates, throw in a few wild cards from the civilian population and have them run through some kind of Amazing race meets Survivor meets Trivial Pursuit scenario. Set up a couple 900 numbers for voting and whoever "survives" wins the presidency. As an added bonus, all proceeds from voting could go to charity, paying off the national debt, etc. It couldn't be any worse than the current system.
27. There are two practical jokes I've orchestrated that have lasted over five years.
28. I think the world would be a lot more interesting if everyone had cartoon eyes. Not the giant anime peepers that serve as little more than wank material for pedophiles in training, but old school Looney Tunes scientifically impossible eyeballs. How great would it be to see someone's eyes shoot out three feet from their sockets every time they heard something shocking?
29. I've never had a migraine and thus have no point of reference when people complain about them.
30. I'm not the most sympathetic person you'll ever meet.
31. I've been wearing the same pair of earrings for a decade now...I think it's time to get a new pair.
32. I've visited 29 out of the 50 states, most of them by driving which is the only way to travel. Who wants to hang out in airports?
33. I've seen Prince twice in concert, which is approximately 3000 times less than I would like.
34. I volunteer. I'm no where near close to doing it regularly, but I'm making progress.
35. I'd really like to learn/understand physics. If teachers in high school and college would have pitched physics as a cheap alternative to LSD, I may have paid more attention in math class.
37. I hate clowns.
38. I have more than one website. 1) ButchandSundance.com - this was more or less an experiment to see if I could tackle writing something like straight history. It's a subject I'm obsessed with. 2) HappyDeathInc.com - this one started out as my personal site and morphed over the years into an 800 page monster. More or less a shrine to pop culture, there's WWII propaganda posters, vintage bowling ads, circus posters (an odd choice given my fear of clowns), and a lot more stashed in the archives. 3) EdibleFoods.com - this site won't be up for a couple more months, but I always loved the name and a couple years ago it became free so I snatched it up. 4) maze1971.com - the page your on right now. Since Happy Death outgrew me, this site has become the new digs. There's one more site coming, but I'm not quite done with it yet.
39. Anyone with more than one webpage has to be a total nerd.
40. I believe in ghosts.
41. The two strangest places I've ever had sex would have to the glass elevator at the Anchorage International Airport and during a sold out showing of Wild at Heart.
42. I love the smell of coffee but hate the taste. The first time I had a sip, I wound up dry heaving for three hours.
43. While I can no longer tell them apart, I hate the smell of butterscotch and French Vanilla. The two scents, along with a couple others, have all merged into the same sickly sweet smell and nothing can make me nauseous quicker. Kahlua falls into this category which completely bums me out as I used to love White Russians, but now can't stand to be anywhere near them.
44. Airports remind me of hospitals. They both smell weird, I never know anyone there and I always get lost.
45. I believe the best revenge is simply letting people live their own lives. It's not the fastest route, but it's usually the most effective.
46. I think everyone should go sledding in the mountains surrounding Lake Tahoe at least once before they die. It's amazing.
47. I've seen Spearhead in concert 11 times in three states.
48. I love cows. And they're pretty tasty too.
49. I once had a missing persons report filed on me in three states by MTV. I was hanging out in Atlantic City at the time.
50. I never get sick - the flu, colds, none of the stuff anyone else gets on a regular basis - the worst thing I'll suffer is a particularly nasty hangover. But every four years or so I wind up in the emergency room for something crazy no one's ever heard of - weird stomach viruses that jack up your temperature to 104 degrees, bizarre stuff.
