Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Another Person Below Me

a history teacher or a historian. I loved (and still do) history.

APBM:

Data or Spock? and why?

Data, I think, because he was the Spock of my generation, and I got to experience his adventures fresh rather than thru repeats.

Antarctic Penguins? Beats ME!
Star Trek or Star Wars? And why?

I'm a little burned out on both right now, actually, but have generally been a fan of both. I have never seen a reason to have to choose one over the other.

Arkansas Person Buying Memphis,
Why?

Because.

Anthony Purchased Blueberry Muffins,
Who's on first?

Nick Johnson

APBM:
When was the last time you read a comic book that was more than 20 years old?

Does Archive editions count? I just finished reading the Mad Archive. Great stuff. Superduperman, Melvin of the Apes, Teddy & the Pirates, and a great Blackhawks parody.

APBM:

please share a memory with us.

I remember MoMA.

...visiting the Museum of Modern Art in NYC, that is. It was nirvana to see such an amazing collection of masterpieces.

APBM,
same question

I remember once when I was in kindergarten. I was home for lunch (I had the morning session of kindergarten) and eating 3 turkey sandwiches while watching Kimba the White Lion. I thought that I was a big kid now because I was eating 3 sandwiches.

APBM,

What was your favorite show as a kid?

Reruns of the Adam West Batman show!

APBM,
Did you ever like the Batman show?

Yep. But then I got hooked on General Hospital, which was on at the same time after school, so the Batman and I parted ways.

APBM
What was your first job like?

Horrible. It was on a vegtable farm. The job itself was ok, I like to grow things but the guy I worked for was a real idiot, and that made the job quite distasteful.

Always Pat Benetar Music:
What is your current job like?

I'm the Customer Service Manager at a grocery store. It has its ups and downs. The very worst part is selling lottery tickets! Chronic habitual RUDE gamblers....ugh!

Also, Pablo Buys Pork,
What's your favorite cult TV series ever?

Trailer Park Boys.....its like a documentery of my early life

APBM:
What's your favorite comic book series?

The Legion of SuperHeroes is the only comic I've ever read regularly.

Apologetic Platinum Blonde Manhandler:
What's one of your biggest pet peeves?

When I am walking on the sidewalk or on some stairs. For the other direction a couple walking side-by-side approaches. There is only room for two on the sidewalk/stairs. But the couple does not go to single file as we pass each other. Instead we all have to squeeze pass each other.

APBM,

Has a stranger ever surprized you in a pleasant way? Tell us about it.

When I was in grad school, I'd ride my bike about 35 miles in the mountains every afternoon (hmmm, one wonders why I never got that dissertation finished). One day I had a crash that bent my front wheel beyond what I could repair on the road. I was about 15 miles from town and on a rural road with very few houses. I carried my bike on my back for about 5 miles or so, and then the rain started and the sky blackened and the lightning came and then hail. I think I saw a tornado with a little girl from Kansas in it. A guy in a pickup truck passed me, then stopped, backed up and asked me if I'd like a ride. He drove me to the bike shop in Blacksburg, waited while I took my bike in, and then drove me home.
The storm was still going on. I invited him in to my apartment for a beer. We talked for a while, the weather cleared and he left. I never saw him again.

APBM:
Have you ever come to someone's rescue?

Saw someone get assaulted once outside a club and chased the attacker off. I guess that counts.

APBM:
Comic shop, or mail order, and why?

Comic Book Shop because it's where all the really cool kids hang out.

Which of the following have you bought:
a 45 rpm record, an LP, an 8-track tape, a cassette tape, a reel-to-reel tape, a music CD, a music download?

An LP, cassette tape, & a music CD.

I have had 45 rpm records but those were hand downs and not ones I bought myself. And my brother had an 8 track player.

APBM,

Do you prefer the cold of winter or the heat of summer? and why?

Winters Cold. I've always loved cold weather. Also, winter's just a more civilized season. No cars blasting music that is only cool to the person blasting it. No people wearing skimpy clothing when they shouldn't be. No funky body odors being shared with everyone within a ten foot radius. And of course Christmas, the one time of year when Joy and Goodwill are all but mandated.

APBM,

Same question.

Summer Heat. I grew up near the Gulf Coast, where 100 degrees Fahrenheit was a warm spring day.

I can ride my bike to work without the burden of 5 pounds of winter clothing and lighting. I like wearing skimpy clothing, whether I should be or not.

One man's funky body odor is another man's irresistible pheromone.

No Christmas -- any expressions of joy and goodwill are spontaneous and sincere.

Washington, DC doesn't winter particularly well.

APBM,

Has this thread run its course or is there life in it yet?

There's always life in it when you can pull Vee back into a thread!

APBM:

Favorite TV show from when you were a kid?

Hogan's Heroes. Nazis are so funny - to a kid.

APBM,

What was the first occupation you want to be when you grew up and did you become it?

I wanted to be a Firefighter....never became one though.
