Of course they will be great. I'll be the one coming up with them.
1. If you had the power to enforce, change, or remove 1 law (state or federal) what would it be?
I would make enforce stricter campaign finance laws in the US.
2. If you got lost in the woods and it was dark, what would you do?
Turn on my flashlight.
3. What do you dislike most about yourself?
Hygene issues I had/have no control over.
4. Have you ever given a speech? Where, when and about what?
I've been in Toastmasters for years. I also did some acting in college and high school. I've given many presentations in grad school.
5. What’s your favorite cartoon or comic book character?
Batman
6. What is on your refrigerator door?
Don't remember. I think a Papa John's magnet.
7. Can you curl your tongue?
Yes!
8. Have you ever accidentally injured someone? What happened?
We used to play tackle football in middle school during recess. I also played flag football at that time. It was dangerous because we were allowed to hit whoever didn't have the ball. I'm pretty sure I injured other kids.
9. What’s cooler: Dinosaurs or Dragons?
Dinosaurs. They were real.
10. Do you or have you ever had a “piggy”/ coin bank? What did it look like?
No. I keep change in a super large drink cup from Carls Jr.

Actually not. I saw the first two. Jurassic Park and Lost World, but havent seen the third.
Whistles. 'Three days ago I saw a rig that'd haul that tanker. If you want to go anywhere, you talk to me.'
Poor Tony. Don't you like Tony.
Cartoon
Cartoons, I got mixed up with comics, even though Captain Scarlett and the Mysterons is more puppets.
Cartoons: Popeye; Roger Ramjet; The old Marvel Cartoons (Tony Stark man of Steel, he's the coolest... Dolted by Gamma Rays, turns into the Hulk, isn't he lovable, ever loving Hulk); Casper; Rocky and Bullwickle; Wacky Races; Looney tunes; Batfink; Top cat ( How do cats keep fit? They do puss-ups. Ha-ha-ha); etc. Not many Australian made.

SUNDAY SURVEY: May 31, 2015
1. If you had the power to enforce, change, or remove 1 law (state or federal) what would it be?
Well, you didn't say "institute," so there goes my possible action against reality shows and the constant attention pimping.
I'd make minor traffic infractions an administrative cost thing rather than a minor crime thing, automate traffic enforcement a lot more with cameras and automatic radar, and put more cops in real public protection and crime investigation roles.
Either that, or get government out of marriage.
2. If you got lost in the woods and it was dark, what would you do?
Pull out my phone if I needed a light. Use the moon and any stars I could see to map to the nearest estimate of habitation. If I came across a water source, follow it down. Either all that, or just crash for the night and get going in the morning.
3. What do you dislike most about yourself?
What I see in the mirror.
4. Have you ever given a speech? Where, when and about what?
Too many to count. I present a lot on ethics.
5. What’s your favorite cartoon or comic book character?
Favorite cartoon, The Far Side. Favorite comic book character... uhh.... DC, The Flash; Marvel, Spiderman.
6. What is on your refrigerator door?
A couple handles.
7. Can you curl your tongue?
Like 70% of the population, yes. (A tiny percentage can curl it down instead of up, but I can't do that.)
8. Have you ever accidentally injured someone? What happened?
Yes. Spilled the motorcycle with a passenger.
9. What’s cooler: Dinosaurs or Dragons?
Dinosaurs, for reasons already stated: They actually existed.
10. Do you or have you ever had a “piggy”/ coin bank? What did it look like?[/QUOTE]
I do, and I did. When I was young, my parents got me one with neat little mechanisms that took the coins down paths and stacked them. Now I have a milk bottle. When it's mostly full, I cash it in for $150-200 and start again.

Are you related to John Rambo, Grandpa?

It is because of your answer to the question, 'What would you do if you got lost in the woods.' I think you said you'd follow a creek, navigate by the stars, smell the wind, eat wild berries, use your Bowie knife to cut young saplings to make a teepee.Not quite getting the reference......
Excuse me GNTLGNT, was it you who posted the picture of Stephen King holding a fish-bowl. If it was, do you know what thread it was?...oh, you HAVE been within a block of my house huh?...

2. If you got lost in the woods and it was dark, what would you do? Oh god, lol, since I have the survival skills of, like, a poodle, I would probably stay put until it's light out.
3. What do you dislike most about yourself? That I worry/think/over-analyze too much.
4. Have you ever given a speech? Where, when and about what? I probably did at a school event--can't remember LOL.

1. What is something note-worthy about your hometown?
Can't think of anything about my hometown, but the town I live in now was famous for gangsters
All the trains came through here, and gangsters had plenty of molls, floozies, and speakeasies to enjoy on their stopover between Chicago and LA.
2. Have you read Finders Keepers yet? If so, how do you like it?
I liked it... but it's qualified. I'll post that one in the proper spoiler thread
3. Do you sleep with the sheets tucked or untucked?
Have to be tucked at the bottom. Tucked or untucked at the side, my leg never ventures out--no need to take chances with the cold, white hand that might creep out from under the bed.
4. What is your favorite thing about yourself?
I'm not afraid to look silly. Physically... maybe my eyes. Or my Fred Flintstone feet--they make me laugh.
5. Name one thing you would hate to lose.
My ability to think and reason.
6. If you could been in an already-established musical group, which one would it be? Why?
They did fine without me
7. Do you ever have recurring dream(s)? If so, what is it/are they?
My family was military, and I was very shy. Ever time we moved, I had the same dream: a guy in a military uniform with lots of ribbons announcing that, "(whatever rank my dad was at the time and his name) and his entire family died yesterday when..." then the scene washes to different members of my family running in terror from various monsters. We all get killed in various ways. I hd that dream every single time we moved until I got married. Maybe that's why 'Salem's Lot has stayed with me for so long. Remember what Mark thought after Danny visited him? "Death? That was when the monsters got you."
8. Who is your oldest living relative? How old is he or she?
My great aunt. She's 97.
9. Strangest injury you've ever had?
Destroyed my ankle by jumping off a roof and onto a (thin) piece of foam rubber. Or when my dad accidentally stepped on my foot with combat boots one morning--that still pains me on occasion. Or maybe when I was arguing with my brother, yanked open the freezer door, and a carton of ice fell out & broke my toe vertically (bottom to tip). OH! Or when I had chicken pox INSIDE my knee--swelled up like a grapefruit, the doc took pics for a book he was writing. My knee sounds like popcorn popping, still. Compound fracture of the leg (bone sticking out) while playing soccer? Yep. I'm danger mouse.
10. Would you rather go way back in time and meet your ancestors or go far in the future and meet your great-great-great grandchildren?
Future. The one thing that pisses me off about dying (I'm not afraid of death at all) is that I won't know what happens next!
