Did you ever had a pet that you didn't quite like?
I had a snake and turtle as pets when I was a kid. Both like to bite my fingers. Didn't keep them long. A turtle bite is far worse then a snake bite.
What's your favorite TV show?
Right now, probably The Last Ship. The one I remember most as a favorite was The Monkees when it was first on. Once a week I'd sit in front of the TV with my dad's monster reel to reel recorder to get the two songs they played each episode.

Would you shush someone if they were being loud in a movie theater?
Oh yeah, if I go to a movie it is to see and hear the movie, not some idiot. That is probably why the last movie I voluntarily went to was when
Needful Things when it came out (not counting taking the kids when they were young to see some movies).
Do you have a music artist you enjoy listening to, but are afraid to admit?
