Have you ever won anything at a carnival, arcade or midway game?
Yup. I won one of those ring-tossing games at Great America in NorCal sometime last year. Toss a plastic ring around a glass bottle. Got it on my very last ring.
Misty wanted a giant monkey. So I got her a giant monkey. We named it "smalls". hahah

Yeah. I'm guilty of texting in the car. But my eyes are on the road at all times. What makes the state think that I'm among the x% of people who DON'T know how to drive?
What happened to the motion that texting while on the phone was considered a "side-offense" in addition to whatever moving violation you were being accused of at the time?
I've always been one of the people who considered themselves someone who KNOWS what they're doing when they're driving. I'm VERY proficient in texting in the car while not looking at my phone (THIS is why predictive text is awesome), and back when I owned a Sidekick, I was pretty good at typing on that, too. I haven't been involved in an accident while texting. Why? Because if it's important, then I'll text back when I'm at a stoplight/stop sign/parking spot/whatever. It's not worth risking my life just to respond "i'm good. how about you?"
So now, because of the idiocy and carelessness of other people with their cellphones on the road, I have to curb my sense of logic altogether and refrain from even picking up my phone when driving down the road. Can't say I didn't see this coming, but I don't really think that the sane people in this state have to pay for other people's shortcomings.
Ah well. I drive stick-shift, anyway. Holding the phone and the shifter in one hand was kinda cumbersome at times. =P
What are your Major League Baseball playoff predictions?
I expect it to be fast and painless. Football season is happening. Who the heck cares about Baseball?! =P
Do professional athletes make too much money, or do they deserve every penny? Why?
I think professional athletes should make money on a per-achievement basis. Score a touchdown? Get a bigger check. Hit a home run, get a bonus. Don't do anything productive for the team, don't get paid. Simple. It'll promote actual efforts of athleticism and avoid turning egotistical pricks into primadonnas. Dudes get paid way too much to sit on a bench at times. That could be money going to my paycheck. fkthat.
What's the greatest video game console on the market? Do you own it or is it on your wish list?
Dreamcast. Put your damn hands down. This isn't open for discussion. The only arcade-perfect version of Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Capcom vs. SNK 2, and THE BEST shoot-em-ups (Ikaruga, Border Down, Trizeal) ever? Yeah. Put your damn hands down. =P
Anyone want a Yahoo! Mash invite? Post here or send a private message with an email address. Worrrrrrrrd.
What was the best football highlight of the past week?
There is no best highlight of the past week in football. I'm currently 0-2 in my Yahoo fantasy league, and I'm 1-1 in my NFL.com league. I don't have ANYONE worth noting in either of my rosters, because they all SUCK now. Stupid Drew Brees and Maurice Jones-Drew. You guys aren't getting me points like you did last year! I hate you! =P
What game are you really good at?
You could probably school me in just about any other competitive game out there. But when it comes to Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Tekken Tag, and Tekken 5? Might as well give up before you start. hahah
What would you attempt to do if you knew you could never fail?
Submitted by BeckyPink.
Try to talk to people that have a problem with me. As it is now, I fail because they won't even give the time of day to recognize who I am or once was in their life.
It's great to have a degree, that brings you to your future read more
