Does Robot chicken count? If so then that. The show just cracks me up. I think seeing so many of the 80's toys I'm familiar with may be part of it as well.

What did you want to be when you were 5 or 6 years old?

I think back then I just knew I didn't want to have a real job. Probably it was a detective or adventurer. By age 11 it was comic book writer, which is still my dream job (now its kind of tied into comic book publisher).
APBM,
What was the first job you ever had and was there anything you hated about it specifically?

Gas Station Attendant, old days. Changing oil, windows... Still my favorite job ever though at the time I didn't actually have bills to pay. The only thing I didn't like on the job, was a new guy from the neighborhood we all knew was a bad egg but the manager apparently didn't. Ripped us off left and right, knowing he'd only have to kick back half to balance the shift. Took the manager two weeks to get the hint.

Back to Olympics for those that would actually go, what sport would you most want to see in person?

Probably figure skating. It's just incredible to watch them move.

The best one was either the one when I actually had a date [i]or[i/] the one when someone asked me what the red paisleys on the tie I was wearing were and I said "dead valentines!".
APBM,
What holiday can you not stand?

I usually love all holidays with one notable exception: I cannot stand New Year's Eve! Its the absolute worst of the worst! I have all these friends who haven't learned their lesson: super high expectations that its going to be the best night ever--and its almost always a let down. I've always said as long as I'm with some good friends then its a good night but yet so many others seem to want so much more. And then there are the people without a signficant other who get all depressed. Super-crowded bars. Outrageous prices to get in anywhere? People dressing like its the Oscars but acting like its Mardi Gras. It *could* be awesome, but usually sucks.
But beginning this past NYE, my wife was pregnant and I'll have a baby for the next one so now I have the ultimate excuse to never have to go out for New Year's Eve again! Yay!
APBM,
What is your favorite day of the week not counting Friday-Sunday?

I enjoy Wednesdays, for the symmetry. I always like realizing the point at which, during working hours, I pass the half way point between hours worked and hours to work in the week.
APBM,
Along those same lines... favorite month of the year?

June. My birthday month. (mr_cleome's, too) And I love early summer, especially now that I'm not stuck in school for such a big part of it anymore.
Aging Provides Bounteous Memories
Do you love rushing out to catch that first big summer blockbuster, or do you prefer waiting for the at-home viewing option?

At-home viewing, I suppose. I'm too broke to go out to movies, and I never rent. The only movies I enjoy are really old ones on TMC. I guess that means I wait a really long time.
APBM,
If you had to/could go back to school, what would you study?
