ME, Alphabetically

This is going around and I figured I might as well fill it out…

  • Available/Single?  Single but not available.
  • Best Friend?  Sergio Aragonés, unless you count the lady who's the reason I'm not available.
  • Cake or Pie?  I now eat neither but when I did, I wasn't wild about pies except for throwing.
  • Drink of Choice?  Water. Gave up everything else ten years ago and don't miss it in the slightest.
  • Essential Item You Use Everyday?  You could take away several of my body parts but don't take away my computer.
  • Favorite Color?  Orange, especially a pure one that doesn't skew towards brown or contain excessive red or yellow.
  • Gummy Bears or Worms?  Never had either but aren't they pretty much the same thing the second you start chewing?
  • Hometown?  Los Angeles, California. Always has been, always will be.
  • Indulgence?  I do just about everything I wanna.
  • January or February?  No big preference.  I don't like rain so of those two rainy months, I'll pick the one that's shorter.
  • Kids and Their Names?  No kids that I know of.  That's why I can do just about everything I wanna.
  • Life is Incomplete Without?  Breathing.  (Go ahead.  Disagree with that.  I dare you.)
  • Marriage Date?  Sometime in the future…maybe. That's been my answer for about half a century now.
  • Number of Siblings?  None.  My parents figured that if you achieve perfection the first time out, there's no reason to keep trying.
  • Oranges or Apples?  I eat neither these days but when I did, I liked eating apples more than I liked eating oranges but I've always liked orange flavor more than apple flavor.
  • Phobias/Fears?  Trump in 2020.
  • Quote You Like?  "Never attribute to deviousness that which can be explained by incompetence."
  • Reason to Smile?  Two reasons: Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.
  • Season?  Summer because it doesn't rain much, that's when Comic-Con is and I can go in my pool, swim a few laps one afternoon and fulfill my exercise quota for the year.
  • Tag Three or Four People?  Socrates, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Vivian Vance and Yosemite Sam.  You didn't say they had to be alive, real or readers of this blog.
  • Unknown Fact About Me?  Once in a showroom at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, I was introduced from the stage by David Copperfield and he had me stand up in the audience so the people could applaud me and not one person did.
  • Vegetable You Don't Like?  Any of the ones I'm allergic to because I don't like convulsions and having to go to an Emergency Room.  You wouldn't enjoy that a whole lot either.
  • Worst Habit?  It's a toss-up between starting a new sentence before I've finished a thought and oh, by the way, the vegetable that's really bad for me is asparagus.
  • X-Rays You've Had?  You don't really want to know that.  You're just asking that because you needed an "X" question.
  • Your Favorite Food?  Roast Turkey cooked by someone who doesn't think they can improve plain Roast Turkey with a lot of unnecessary spices, especially the four that Simon & Garfunkel used to sing about.
  • Zodiac Sign?  I'm a Pisces…the sign that's way too smart to believe in Astrology.
