Bother, beaten to the answer again, oh well, I'll have some cheese, lettuce, tomato and a dollop of good enlish mustard on mine please.

PBM, fave book quote?

I was a good student - a fact that I tried to keep hidden.

PBM, who was the first adult you had a crush on, when you were a teenager?

Elton John.

Don't laugh, he wasn't out then or I don't think so anyway.

I think it was the outfits really

PBM, same Q

Ricky Nelson, but I wasn't quite a teenager. I think I was about 11 or 12.

PBM, most embarassing moment when making out in a car. (If you didn't have one, then one you heard about).

Being caught by my parents who applauded when we noticed them...my parents were very fun and wacky!

PBM, same question

My cousin took me to a movie when I was 14, a drive-in movie. Unbeknownst (or at least unbespoken) to our parents, she picked up her boyfriend and his brother who was about my age. While they (cousin and boyfriend) were making out in the front seat, we were both getting aroused in the back seat and constantly on the verge of hysterical giggling. We headed out to the concession stand. The girl who sold the popcorn and cokes commented on the wet stains we each had in our pants. It's a wonder I ever had sex, ate popcorn, or saw another movie in my life.

PBM, ever get walked in on while engaging in an act of auto-erotic stimulation?

No but I did walk on people who were engaged in an act of auto-erotic stimulation...

A friend of mine was staying at our place in Seattle for a few days... I went to the gym and when I came back, it was obvious that he didn't expect anyone. he was sprawled in the middle of the lounge and I arrived.... ermm... Just at the right moment (or is that at the wrong one?).

The great thing about this is that two years later, I can still blackmail him... Does that make me a sadist?

I'll tell you when you've crossed the line into sadism, Pariscub.

So, umm, it's getting warm in here...PBM, do you have a window office?

Yes, I have a bay window in my office and the windows open.

PBM, what was your favorite toy as a kid?

when I was a little kid I had a stuffed monkey which I thought was great. Unfortunetly the best way to play with the monkey was to swing him around by the arms (It's what monkeys do) anyway the stiching always went under the arms so he spent most of his time in mums sewin basket and I was always in trouble when she would finally fix him and he was back in there two hours later.

PBM Would you rather be a vampire a werewolf or some other monster?

I used to think vampire, despite my aversion to blood. But then I read St. Peter's Wolf by Michael Cadnum. He had a totally different take on the werewolf (the killing was only at the beginning when a new werewolf was confused). The way he described the freedom to run through the wilderness, the strength and the pure joy of physicality, really made it appealling. That with the fact that you wouldn't always be a monster (only during the full moon) makes it preferable.

PBM, should Anne Rice stop now?

I haven't really read much Anne Rice, but I do know she's prolific generally. I'd think that if some significant portion of her following thinks she's starting to run out of original ideas, then she should probably stop (or at least start writing about wholly different topics).

PBM, have you ever had a crush on an author without ever having seen a photo of him/her? If so, who?

I'm afraid not. However, someone I know had this crush on Louise Cooper (incredible author of the fantastic Time Master trilogy), who happens to be a friend of mine.
I think she was really surprised when she saw the picture of Louise, who looked like a British version of Joan Baez.

PBM, what's the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to you in an elevator?

Once I was going to the 5th floor, but I got off the elevator on the 4th floor instead. Man, was that humiliating.

There is another story, of course, but involves a bicycle shorts wardrobe failure and an elevator with a front and back door, but I imagine you're all weary of stories of my publicly exposed @ss.

PBM, you must either walk 200 feet ( app. 61 m ) arcoss a narrow, exposed I-beam on the 40th floor of a Manhattan skysraper construction project or crawl 200 feet through a dark tunnel barely wider than your shoulders. Which do you pick?

the dark tunnel


PBM, It's like that Star Trek episode where the people go back into the past to escape destruction of their planet. So which era of Earth history would you want to live in?

The Roman times... Sounded like a good place to be as long as you had some money... Saunas, baths, central heating... they had all the comfort you wanted...

And the games, the games!

PMB Do you like gladiator movies?

They're right up there with Jean Claude Van Damme movies.

PBM, Charleton Heston or Kirk Douglas?

Kirk. Seems more manly to me.

PBM, You can have dinner with any historical figure. Who'd you pick?

Definitely not Idi Amin. How about Oscar Wilde.

PBM, same question.

Either Jesus Christ or Dave Cockrum, probably Cockrum, I suspect J.C. would be a no-show.

PBM, for one day, you have the ability covertly to control someone else's words and actions. Of whom do you take control and what do you have that person do?

Tricky one... I guess I'd take over Bin Laden and that I'd make him surrender.

PBM Have you ever been to Scotland?

No when I lived in the Uk I kept meaning to but never did. I met some really nice people who lived in St Andrews when I was in Northern Africa who invited me to visit them there but ZI didn't but I regret it now.

If you could see any politian naked who would you pick?

Jim McGreevey
He's sexy in a cute, preppy, buttoned-down, bureaucratic sort of way -- lots of repressed energy to unleash.

PBM, Sex, alcohol, LegionWorld. You must give up one for six months -- which one?

Easy - alcohol.

PBM - do you think flag burning should be a crime?
