This was originally an answer for Abin's question, but it fits Kent's as well.
Gefilte fish! I am quite possibly the only Gentile I know who loves it!
APBM,
Which holiday do you enjoy the most?

through most of the 90s, it always seemed like I was travelling somewhere interesting and different for the 4th of July (Seattle, California, Alaska, the Jersey shore... even Luxembourg)... but that stopped.
I dunno... it varies year-to-year, actually.

1. Yammering endlessly about fandoms they know perfectly well I either don't care about or can't stand.
2. Recycling the same pop culture catch phrase du jour more than twice in a single day. (Bonus points awarded for trendy racial/ethnic/sexist slurs that they think make them "cutting edge" instead of just unimaginative jerkfaces.)
3. Smoking indoors. When it's my damn house.
Arrgh. Plotz. Bah. Merde.
Same question.

1. Casting celebrity voices in cartoons instead of seasoned voice actors. (Strange choice, I know, but I just read in the Gym'll forum that Michael Madsen is voicing Kilowog in the Green Lantern animated movie, and I'm angry.)
2. Addressing me like you think you're smarter than me.
3. Rushing into the elevator before I've gotten out.
APBM,
What are your three favorite articles of clothing?
posted
A pair of well worn briefs (guys and frustrated wives know what I mean).
superman jammy tops, gift.
Extremely thick hided suade jacket I picked up in Bolivia with a zipper flap over the zipper and flip up collar that prevents ANY wind from getting in. Could probably stop a bullet.
APBM
Fun question, let's do it again.

A pair of gray cotton shorts I've had for years (got 'em on now!). No holes, just real comfy.
Any of my superhero T's.
A red and black jacket I can't seem to find a replacement for. My daughter told me if I bought a new one, she wouldn't know me.
Argyles, Pullovers, Belts, Moccasins.
Same Question.

A Lucky (brand) linen blazer with military detailing. I cleaned out my closets about a two years ago and donated a bunch of stuff to Goodwill. I figured I'd worn the blazer enough and it was time to let it go, but now I miss it. It was so very easy to dress up or down and it fit so well.

Do you enjoy clothes shopping?

No. A thousand times no. Women's clothes are always sized and designed by career sadists. Not to mention that in general, they're badly-crafted and hideously overpriced. (This is true whether you're skinny or fat.) My favorite place to shop is Goodwill, where I can rummage in the Men's Dept. without anyone giving me the fisheye. Even then, I get nervous and twitchy if I have to spend more than an hour or two in the place.
Always Purchasing Black Material
What's the dumbest fashion trend you ever participated in?

I'm note sure I've ever participated in one.
The closest might be the neo-retro-hippy bit in the late 80s; but even that was limited to tie-dyes, long hair and John Lennon glasses.

Honestly, I don't think that I've got one. I treat past eras like a buffet bar, where I pick at the varied aesthetics and so forth, without ever really filling up on any one thing. The sad truth is that, grouch though I am, I feel perfectly at home in the era I'm in. It's impossible to imagine myself in any previous era.
Art Politics Baseball Music
If somebody really could tell you something important about your future that would definitely come to pass/could not be changed, would you want to know, or not?

Probably not. The "Something Important" part is why. But if it was some random or funny tidbit, I'd definitely want to know!
APBM,
Whether you like the sport or not: you're stuck having to play an all day long baseball game in a beautiful day with people you like to be around. You must pick a position to go play for 9 whole innings. What position do you pick?
