[HollyGolightly]

1. If you could go back in time and attempt to change one event in history, what would it be, and what would you do to change it?
Oh, that's tough. We learned in 11/22/63 that it may not change anything for the good. I'd start with - never enslave anyone ever - go way back to the Israelites even, never run Native Americans off their land, so many things to change, less cars - more mass transit. I can't pick.

Not sure if I'd intervene or not, but I'd like to be able to stop and start the event several times so I could view it from different locations in Dealy Plaza.

HollyGolightly, Well, with me tagging along.

[80sFan]

Of course!

 

[skimom2]

1. If you could go back in time and attempt to change one event in history, what would it be, and what would you do to change it?
Nothing. I've read enough speculative fiction to know that never works out the way you want it to. Better to learn something and not repeat.

2. What do you think happens to you after you pass on?
I think you reap what you sow. Good or bad (or nothing), you chose it.

3. Those crazy politicians enacted prohibition again, but exempted one type of alcohol. What is it and what brand?
Wine. I'm partial to zinfandels, not too cheap and tannic.

4. Where do you want the next King Kon to be?
Hm. Have to think about that one. FL seems like the logical choice.

5. An asteroid is about to slam into earth in 48 hours, wiping out all life, and Bruce Willis isn't available. What do you do in your final hours?
Spend them with my family.

6. And to continue, you go to a restaurant renounced for making your most enjoyable meal. The meal is free... What would it be?
Steak, rare. Sautéed mushrooms. Tortellini with red sauce. Asparagus. Salad of mixed young greens, simply dressed. Creme brûlée. Zin and water with the meal, coffee with the dessert.

7. They've been dropping like flies as of late. What musical person or group would you want to see in concert, with back stage pass, before it's too late?
AC/DC. They only tour every five years, and in five years Brian Johnson will be 72--not likely they'll tour again. Rumor is that when he's ready to hang up his mic, the band is finished. Really hoping they swing by near here on this year's tour.

8. What appliance in you home or apartment would you like to replace?
Hm. All seem to be working fine right now (now watch me have cursed myself & everything start breaking down--lol).

9. What's the favorite hobby you have, or what hobby would you like to take up?
Reading. Not being able to do that would make me very sad. I love walking, too. Can't think of anything I want to try right now.

10. Aspirin, Acetaminophen, or Ibuprofen?
IB. I get way more body aches than head aches, and IB works better on those for me. I don't even keep acetaminophen in the house on the regular.

 

[Pucker]

1. If you could go back in time and attempt to change one event in history, what would it be, and what would you do to change it?

I'd go back to 1988 and keep my brothers off the Nashua River on May 20. Consequences be damned. It wouldn't be hard to do. I'm the one who put them there, after all.

2. What do you think happens to you after you pass on?

Nothing I'll know about. If I do have a soul or some kind of essence that survives this existence, I don't expect anything I would recognize as me to be aware of it.

3. Those crazy politicians enacted prohibition again, but exempted one type of alcohol. What is it and what brand?

I'm not nearly as thirsty as I used to be, but it might not be too bad to be able to have a beer once in a while. How about Watney's Red Barrel. That way I could hear the Travel Agency sketch in my head every time I popped a top. That would be alright.

4. Where do you want the next King Kon to be?

You guys? All together in one place? In real life?

Somewhere far away. Sao Paolo.

5. An asteroid is about to slam into earth in 48 hours, wiping out all life, and Bruce Willis isn't available. What do you do in your final hours?

The smart thing would be to get Robert Duvall, but I wouldn't do that. I'd get up high somewhere and take a long look around ... and I would sing.

6. And to continue, you go to a restaurant renowned for making your most enjoyable meal. The meal is free... What would it be?

It wouldn't be a meal. It would just be a bowl of soup. French onion. And French bread, too ... with real cream butter. And two glasses of wine. One for me. And another one ... for us.

7. They've been dropping like flies as of late. What musical person or group would you want to see in concert, with back stage pass, before it's too late?

I've always wanted to hang out with Graham Parker. That would be cool.

8. What appliance in you home or apartment would you like to replace?

Let me preface this by saying it is roughly 10 degrees below zero right now where I live, with life-threatening wind chills. That said ... I need a new air conditioner.

9. What's the favorite hobby you have, or what hobby would you like to take up?

Well ... my favorite hobby is in the process of becoming a job (again), so I guess I'll need a new one. Something active. I think I'd like to take up archery again. That's relaxing, and who knows? It might be useful.

10. Aspirin, Acetaminophen, or Ibuprofen?

In the best of all possible worlds, none of these ... but when absolutely necessary, plain old aspirin is just fine, thank you.

 

[Blake]

1. If you could go back in time and attempt to change one event in history, what would it be, and what would you do to change it?
I don't know, if you pick just one, what's the point. You could say that when God created life he/her should have removed all evil, but then how would you know what's good? Maybe Hitler was born a female.

2. What do you think happens to you after you pass on?
Depends. I think there is another dimension or plane. Maybe heaven, hell, and the void. I personally believe there's an afterlife.

3. Those crazy politicians enacted prohibition again, but exempted one type of alcohol. What is it and what brand?
Ouzo. Ouzo and Coke.

Salt Lake City

7. They've been dropping like flies as of late. What musical person or group would you want to see in concert, with back stage pass, before it's too late?
I don't think they're the type, but I like the band the Cure. Robert Smith's the man. David Bowie | THE CURE
Is this photo of all your favorite musicians hanging out together the greatest photo of all time? | Consequence of Sound


8. What appliance in you home or apartment would you like to replace?
I hate mobile/cell phones. If I had unlimited power I would disintegrate everyone of them.

9. What's the favorite hobby you have, or what hobby would you like to take up?
I used to make models. Model aircraft, space ships, ships. I started getting serious making the wooden ships and made the Endeavour about three years ago but haven't done anymore like that on even though I've got a French Schooner "La Toulonnaise" (1833) sitting in an unopened box.

10. Aspirin, Acetaminophen, or Ibuprofen?
Aspirin
