What gifts that you received for Christmas this year are already in the trash?
My grandmother got me some uranium because she knows I'm into reactors. I didn't have the heart to tell her she got scammed & it was all depleted.

Have you ever stopped at a cheesy tourist trap "landmark" that turned out to be kinda cool? What was it?
The House on the Rock in Wisconsin was a lot funner than I thought it would be. I happened to visit when there was hardly anyone there, so that helped greatly. There's a huge room with a full size whale statue in the middle. And a suspended triangular room with a window on the floor overlooking treetops. Plus all sorts of other random stuff.

i took a motorcycle class where they also taught us that second one too: focus on where you want to go, not on what you want to avoid.
i hadn't considered it in a broader context until your post, but you're right it works

How would one exit a black hole?
don't fight against gravity by trying to fly directly towards the universe. Instead, fly parallel to the universe until you are out of the black hole's pull, then angle back towards the universe.

How often do you middle finger your TV/Monitor/Phone?
Flipped off my Mac two days ago and texted it to a friend who shares my annoyance with forced updates

I'm sorry it has to be like this
it does feel brutal, but it also feels cathartic. when it's spazzing out and just ignoring everything for 5 seconds...30 seconds...1 minute...2 minutes i start feeling like some angry king :"I WILL NOT BE IGNORED BY THE LIKES IF YOU, MACHINE" and i admit i get some vindictive satisfaction from just murdering it then and there.

A friend of mine really despises Progressive's "Flo" and that Geico Gekko. I'm no fan myself, but he REALLY hates them and says he'll never give those companies any business because of those characters.

What's the worst ad you've ever seen?
there was an old ad with a kid sitting on a dock fishing, eating a bologna sandwich and singing "my bologna has a first name, its o-s-c-a-r. my bologna has a second name its m-a-y-e-r"...
nothing wrong with the commercial except it turned out to be an ear worm that would live in my head FOREVER. my brain trots it out at least once a month for no good reason. usually more.
ive never bought bologna and i'm low key mad at Oscar Mayer so maybe this counts?

What was your oddest job experience?
I worked on the “slime line,” gutting fish in Seldovia Alaska when I was young. One long summer was more than enough for me. Also spent time while i was there “de-byssing” mussels on a raft with my buddies for some side cash. Same as debearding, but the guy called it “de-byssing.”

What are your favorite unconventional decor items?
This fish was hand carved out of a moose antler. I saw it in a store in Anchorage when I was there for a friend's wedding. It was the first original art I ever bought and was pretty expensive at the time.
