Only if it's cold outside!

APBM,

Same query.

Yes. I like clothes. Silk feels good. So does soft cotton.

Another Potentially Bilious Male,

Could you live without a car?

I have done so in the past. It was easiest when I lived in Boston. I don't particularly like driving. I wish it were possible for me now; unfortunately, Houston does not have the kind of public transportation that enables on to live car-free easily.

What was your first trip on an airplane: How old were you and where did you go?

Oh, glad I got this one! First trip was to Oklahoma City, and I was 23. Yup, I had never been on an airplane before 23 and my first trip was for work. Now I travel (on a plane) no fewer than 12-15 times a year with at least 6 trips to Oklahoma City a year. I actually love to travel, even for work, and don't mind flying at all (prefer it to driving that's for sure).

APBM,

Have you ever been on a train, and if so to where, and if not, would you want to and where to?

I've been on a train a number of times, in several countries. I've been on a train in the US (up and down the East Coast), the UK (London to various destinations; England to Scotland), and Japan (Tokyo to various destinations). I generally like train travel, and wouldn't mind doing a cross-country train trip sometime.

APBM,
Have you ever fallen in love with a co-worker, and if so, did you confess your feelings to him/her?

If not love, something pretty close. But this wasn't a coworker at what I'd call a 'real job', but rather a job I was doing while still in college/early Grad School on the side. I was a bouncer at a bar part-time on weekends and she was a bartender/waitress. It was a fling and it was great. Definitely more than just a quick thing. But certainly not love. We admitted to each other we had feelings but the timing was such that both of us had some pretty complicted relationship issues at the time (re: in the middle of some messy stuff), so it didn't work out. For the best, as years later, we're still friends.

APBM,

Have you ever had a fling with a co-worker (re: not as extreme as love)?

No co-worker flings (too complicated) but one guy who seemed interested invited me to supper - to meet his wife.

A Pretty Bad Memory,

Did you ever get bounced from a bar?

No, although I might have come pretty close at the piano bar in San Diego, when I was going on about having Superboy-Prime punch off a certain somebody's head.

APBM,

Have you ever finished a meal at a restaurant, and then realized you didn't have your wallet/purse/any money at all on you?

No, thankfully, but I did have the embarrassment to have a credit card declined a few years ago because it was maxxed out from business expenses. Luckily I was with friends and had another credit card with me. Still, pretty embarrassing!

APBM,

Have you ever finished a meal at a restaurant and been so dissapointed by the service and the food that you considered not paying?

No, but I have been so dissatisfied with the service I have not left a tip. Oh and one time, no one came after we were seated that we left before ordering. And wonderful American Express moment there Cobie.

APBM,

Which is you favorite season and why?

Autumn - its always been my favorite, and a lot of it reminds me of going back to school (I loved High School, especially my junior and senior year) and going back to college (I also loved college). There's a sense of 'newness' going on, of things changing, of things are about to get really fun but who knows how it will happen. I also love the Autumn in New England, where the change in seasons is ever apparent, and I like the shift to Fall sports, such as college football and even the NFL in recent years because I enjoy the Sunday craziness and going out to the bar for Monday Night football. And I also love the oncoming onslaught of holidays/events, especially Halloween and Thanksgiving. And there's a ton of other reasons too. I like the increasingly brisk nature of the season, which makes me sleep better than any other season (where its still not too cold like winter).

APBM,

Same question, if you don't mind...

Autumn also, because the weather is perfect, not too hot, not too cold, no icy roads and I don't mind rain. The bugs are gone. The tourists are gone (they're not so bad, but they put a lot of pressure on inadequate infrastructure). The garden is finished, except for clean-up, and there's lots of hope that things will be better next year. We get the wood stove going, which I love. And, yes, excellent sleeping weather.

APBM,

Are you worried about the CERN Accelerator creating a black hole that will destroy the Earth on September 10th?

No. I am more worried about the Sun going nova in 5 billion years and obliterating the Earth.


APBM,

Do you think there is intelligent life on other planets?

If there's none here, why anywhere else?

Aye Pie Basting Man,

What do you think was STU was doing during his long time away?

I have no doubt it was spent discovering the secrets of the universe, drinking mind-eraser shots and hoping to find out where Judd has imprisoned Pam.

APBM,

Where do you think Loser Lad is these days?

I suppose he's still in Buffalo working ungodly hours.

Another Po' Boy's Muthah,

Why haven't we heard from EDE in so long?

Not sure exactly but I suspect it has to do with grad school / teaching courses and beginning of a semester / publishing his thesis? Its hard to comprehend what keeps the brillant, hat-wearing one busy, so we can only to his return.

APBM,

Now what about Frio?

Frio is the alt character of our beloved Caliente. She has cold based powers. That's about all I know about Frio.

APBM,

What was your first favorite TV show when you were a little kid?

I think it was the old Adam West Batman show. I still love it!

Are People Better than Martians?

Do/did you like that old Batman show?

Not really, but I don't mind it. It was definitely way before my time, but I remember thinking it was so cool that Batman was on TV whenever I saw reruns.

APBM,

Did you absolutely love the Batman: The Animated Series cartoon, and if not, why the heck not?

I did. My oddest memory of the show is that of Aunt Harriet, bound and blindfolded, hanging over an open fire. Bizarre!

APBM,
Who was your favorite villain from the Batman show?

Edited:
I didn't really love the animated series; I guess I was in a "not appreciating cartoons" phase when it was popular!

APBM,
Have you ever had a crush on Batgirl?

Edit: No crush on Batgirl, but I thouoght she was so cool. Also my favorite villian was King Tut

Well I don't "absolutely" love it. I do think it was very well done and the original opening captures everything about the BAtman.

APBM,


What did you think of the more recent "The Batman" cartoon?

Didn't bother to watch it, because I'm probably going what Stu went through back then in the 'not appreciating cartoons' phase if they're not part of Adult Swim or Family Guy.

APBM,

What's your favorite current cartoon?

<edit: was answer to Batgirl question>

Oh gods, YES! Her (Yvonne Craig), Catwoman (Julie Newmar) and Princess Leia!

Current favorite cartoon? Probably "Family Guy".

APBM,

Did anyone catch my (very) obtuse reference to the old Batman show in "Inane Five Word Posts"?

Only now that you mentioned it.

APBM,

Do you have siblings and are they older, younger, or both in relation to you?
