1. Hoo-ha ! Those damn (the yum yums) have taken over your place of residence, and surrounding areas ? What will you do ?! Put on a sheet and go outside and start hollering at the house with them.

2. Why do you like doing these weekly surveys ? easier than push-ups in the laundry room.

3. Would you ever like to have something of yours published (book, film, whatever) ? yes, but only after i'm gone...some day i will be found...inside the walls of houses i remodel, anonymous, of course...although some of those early floppy discs might have had a name on them, alas. :(

4. How much money would you accept to shave all your hair off and be bald for a year (or, if already bald, wear an afro wig for a year) ? one dollar should make it a legal contract. if every member on the board pays up, i'll have enough to get that new truck! brand spanking new! let's get to it!

5. Would you rather be blind for a day OR deaf for a week OR unable to taste for two weeks? blind...i don't think i appreciate my eye-sight enough.

6. What is the longest consecutive time you have gone without eating ? right around 24 hours more than once not in a row

7. When was the last time you said the f-word ? honestly?...probably thursday...a helper dipped the swab (mop) into the five-gallon paint bucket...instead of the five-gallon water bucket...i believe i waxed poetic about buckets and such, snapped, in other words. i've since recovered.

8. When was the first time you said the f-word ? dunno if i said it...although i am sure i did...but back around '68, summer we're talking here...everything's cool or should be, maybe i'm out in the yard, getting ready to play Cowboys & Indians, six-shooter on my hip, feather in my war bonnet...and ma calls from the basement door. come here. my blood ran cold. the tone of her voice left no doubt that i was in trouble, serious trouble. the smart thing to have done would be to light out for the Territories, forget about a lunch. there was a drum playing in the background, snare...and a big bass drum hitting on each footfall...into the basement i go. what's this! (mr fung) my pen and pencil holder, little plastic thing with a zipper? the school year that just ended, at some point, i had written the fabled words on the back in blue ink. no hearts. no smiley faces. just the plain and unvarnished truth. i tasted soap...Dial, if it matters, was made to stand at the sink there by the door and scrub. the words did not come out. since then i've been careful. honestly, there was a time i didn't use foul language...for such a long time that when i uttered something vulgar, my friends and co-workers took a step back. the f-word has its applications.

9. Have you ever had a very pleasant recurring dream ? no, i'm somewhat fickle, and the cast of characters seems to change, although they have all been intense.

10. Can't be fooked to do another question, just do number one again, alright ? drop to the ground, extend arms and legs, and hope for a belly rub.

11. Joking. When you think of the infinite size and complexity of the universe, what emotions or thoughts pop into your head ? i kinda doubt anyone will notice me do this...:cry_002:

1. Hoo-ha ! Those damn candidates have taken over your place of residence, and surrounding areas ? What will you do ?! Shut down the TV, cancel newspaper subscription, don't answer any calls from those not on my contacts list. Hunker down, it is going to get ugly.

2. Why do you like doing these weekly surveys ? Why do I like this forum? Want to talk with others who have similar interests.

3. Would you ever like to have something of yours published (book, film, whatever) ? Yes.

4. How much money would you accept to shave all your hair off and be bald for a year (or, if already bald, wear an afro wig for a year) ? You mean you would pay me? Wow, I'm flabbergasted. Honored. speechless.

5. Would you rather be blind for a day OR deaf for a week OR unable to taste for two weeks? Blind for a day. I lived in China for years, that was similar to being deaf, don't ever want to try that again.

6. What is the longest consecutive time you have gone without eating ? Don't know the longest. I have been fasting a lot this summer, 48 hours was the longest, but 24 hours has become a weekly theme. I had some stomach ulcer and the doctor prescribed medicine with horrible long term side effects saying I'd take this for the rest of my life. I thought, forget that. I fasted, when the heartburn hit I drank water to wash the acid out of my stomach. A month later my stomach is cured, I don't get heart burn anymore. Basically gave my digestive system a rest.

7. When was the last time you said the f-word ? Probably a week ago, I was driving cross country from NY to St. Louis, must have had an issue with some driver at some point.

8. When was the first time you said the f-word ? I was probably in my 30s. My first wife pushed me over the edge, I have been more vulgar and crass ever since.

9. Have you ever had a very pleasant recurring dream ? Yes, I can fly.

10. Can't be fooked to do another question, just do number one again, alright ? What?? OK, hey this is an infinite loop! Doesn't anyone check these things for glitches first? How do I get out of this? Yaah!

11. Joking. When you think of the infinite size and complexity of the universe, what emotions or thoughts pop into your head ? This was all for me? Man, either God has an incredible sense of humor or else He has made a very big mistake. I'll hope for the first even though that could be worse. I'm gonna spend eternity with a guy a sense of humor like this? Still better than Him realizing He has made a mistake after a millennium or two into eternity (that could be awkward).

I noticed you said something about UNIX - I found this fish at the car wash recently - it was one of those magnetic things you attach to the back of your vehicle:
Linux-fish.jpg

Do you know what it means?

Like Kurben said, Linux is an operating system very similar to UNIX. Both Linux and UNIX are much more secure and stable than Windows. They are mostly used for server side applications like database servers, web servers and etc. Chances are, stephenking.com is hosted on a Linux web server. Should be fairly easy to find out.
