When do you intend to fix this?
Bonnaroo next year via my free ticket I'll win in the NFL Pick'Em Contest.
Also: Are you a morning or night person? Favorite pet of all time? (Please post pics if you have them) What is your favorite time of day/night? Next concert you will attend? Favorite snack food? Preferred footwear? How many pillows are on your bed? Is your bed currently made? (be honest) Do you follow the news regularly? If so, where do you find it?
-Night for sure. I had a job at the airport in college where I had to be up by 12:15 PM every day and would have to set an alarm. -My brother was extremely allergic to cats and dogs so I never had either growing up. All I really remember are a couple goldfish which I don't count. -Evening. -Beach House tomorrow night! -Oreos -I wear flip flops constantly in the summer but that's mostly out of laziness. I really like a good, comfortable pair of tennis shoes. -Three -Not at all -For the most part. NPR, Politico, Huffington Post (yeah, I know) Milwaukee's local paper.
Or questionsssss:
Text or call? Pen or Pencil? Shower at night or in the morning? Candles or incense? Big spoon or little spoon? I'm like 6'4 or something so little spoon is kind of awkward.

What would you do if you won the lottery?
I'd say immediately quit my job and never work again, but anytime I have a week day off where I'm not doing anything I realize how boring it is because everyone else is busy with work/school. Really though, I'd probably quit my job and get involved volunteering with a really cool organization or something to take up part of my time, and then spend a sh*tton of time traveling.
What talents do you have?
I can move my pinky toe independent of my other toes. And the fact that that's the first thing that popped into my head probably shows you my real talents.
What is your favorite holiday? Why?
Summer cookout holidays. Halloween's a close second though. Both because you never really have any obligations to do anything other than hang out with friends and pretty much do whatever.
What source(s) do you get your news from?
NPR, Politico, Huffington Post, Milwaukee's local stuff, NY Times before the whole pay-for subscription online.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
Coincidentally enough I recently found something from Kindergarten that said I wanted to be a teacher. Unrealistically though it was playing for the Brewers/Bucks/Badgers/Packers simultaneously while also being an astronaut.
What's your favorite fast food chain?
I had Five Guys for the first time about a month ago and thought it was really delicious for fast food.
If you were famous would you want a statue or a building named after you?
Absolutely. "Oh the public library? Just walk two blocks south, take a left at the glennron building, and it'll be on your right."
Have you ever cried at a film? Which one?
Forest Gump is an obvious choice, and the last 20ish seconds of that Into the Wild clip kills me every time.
-what is your favorite scifi tv show? -where would you want to move if money is no object? -what language would you want to know if you could snap your fingers and just know it? -when was a time you showed huge self restraint? -what was the last pair of shoes you bought? -what would you change your name to if you had to/could? -when you were little did you ever play in a cardboard box and pretend it was something else? -space is cool right?

What is your guiltiest pleasure? Favorite possession? How do you eat your oreos? And are they double-stuffed? Favorite inforoo emoticon? If you could change any of the inforoo bad-word filtered words, which would it be? And to what? Favorite Star Wars movie?

-what is your favorite scifi tv show?
I used to watch Quantum Leap as a kid when my mom would watch the reruns. To be honest that's really the only sci fi show I've seen consistently.
-where would you want to move if money is no object?
Pacific Northwest.
-what language would you want to know if you could snap your fingers and just know it?
Practicality-wise, Spanish. I've also always thought it would be cool to know an African language just because so many of them are vastly different from English.
when was a time you showed huge self restraint?
Oh man we're getting to some deep questions. That's actually a really good one, I'll have to get back to you.
-what was the last pair of shoes you bought?
Knock-off boat shoes.
-what would you change your name to if you had to/could?
Apparently my parents were close to naming me Kevin, I would've been cool with that I guess. I don't really mind my name so I've never really thought about it.
-when you were little did you ever play in a cardboard box and pretend it was something else?
I don't think cardboard boxes, but we used to make pillow forts like no other.

What is your guiltiest pleasure?
Awful movies. And not even like awful in a funny way; just really bad movies. I got into a habit one year of college of waking up hungover on a Saturday morning, turning on the T.V. at like 11:00 am and getting stuck watching some garbage cable movie. I mean stuff like Swimfan. And it always started the same way, where I'd watch the first half, realize what I was doing, and then think "Ah f*ck it, I've made it this far" and watch the rest. And then realize I wasted a good afternoon.
Favorite possession?
Man I don't even know, I'm not a material possessions kind of person at all. I don't even own a T.V. right now. I guess my iPod, just cause I use it constantly in the car/around my apartment/running etc.
How do you eat your oreos? And are they double-stuffed?
Generally the normal way and dip in milk, but every once in a while I'll open face it. Definitely not doubled-stuffed.
Favorite inforoo emoticon?
If you could change any of the inforoo bad-word filtered words, which would it be? And to what?
Fleshy banana just sounds weird to me. Maybe change it to something like Glenn Beck to pair with Ann Coulter (btw best word filter ever.) Although Glenn Beck hasn't even been relevant for like two years now.

When did you last dress up for halloween? What was your costume? Favorite halloween costume growing up? Will you be dressing up this year? Favorite halloween candy/treat? Least favorite halloween candy/treat?
If you could attend 5 music festivals in 2013, which would you hit? How do you feel about fried cheese curds?
Probably a place called Wolski's. It's sort of one of those "Neighborhood" bars but it's just a couple blocks off a pretty popular/trendy area for younger people, so the clientele is a pretty nice mix and doesn't have the young and douchey college student or somewhat creepy single old dudes who sit at the bar for 6 hours a day without saying a word. There isn't really much special about their beer selection or anything like that, but it's one of those atmosphere places I guess. They also have English dartboards which is pretty cool. They also generally play good music, and always play albums in their entirety, which makes me think of one of my favorite Onion "headlines" from this year:
I can't even really say I have a favorite restaurant. I just moved into the actual city from the suburbs (like 25 minutes away) so even though I've lived in the area my entire life sans college, there's so much I haven't gotten to experience.

When did you last dress up for halloween? What was your costume?
Last year. A couple of friends and I went as the Lonely Island. To be honest I wasn't big into the idea but didn't really have anything else to go as, and it actually turned out pretty well and was a ton of fun.
Favorite halloween costume growing up?
I sadly can't remember too many of my costumes. I know pretty much every kid who grew up in the late 80's/early 90's did this, but me, my brother and our two friends went as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when I was like 5. I think I was Donatello?
Will you be dressing up this year?
I would be but I'll be out of town for work. First time since probably high school I won't be celebrating. Lame.
Favorite halloween candy/treat?
Does it have to be Halloween related? Anything Reece's related I'm pretty much addicted to.
Least favorite halloween candy/treat?
Candy corn is absolutely f*cking awful. I don't know how people eat it, yet every year growing up my grandma would put out Candy Corn that may or may not have been stale (who can tell?) in her living room and we'd pretty much have to eat it because it would be "rude" otherwise.
If you could attend 5 music festivals in 2013, which would you hit?
SXSW, Coachella, Sasquatch (mostly because of the area), ACL, Moogfest.
How do you feel about fried cheese curds?
Delicious. I forget they're not common elsewhere, and whenever you meet someone not from Wisconsin they're all wtf is this.
-power rangers or transformers? -night or morning person? -what kind of group of people scares you (like old people or something haha)? -if you could have any job in the world, money and skill no object, what would it be? -what is the scariest animal? -have you ever ridden a horse? -barefoot or shoes?

-Power Rangers easily. I think I'm a little too young for Transformers. -Night, although that's slowly changing. Like I'm finding if I'm not doing anything on a weekend night I'll go to bed before midnight, which hasn't really happened since I was probably in grade school. Boo growing up. -Old people can definitely creep me out, but it isn't anything like Dee from It's Always Sunny. Not really sure if this is a group per se...but young suburbanites? It's funny cause I was just on Facebook and I saw pictures of this couple I went to high school with. They're my age (so 24-25), already married with two kids, house, etc. etc. I'm not really sure what it is but people like that just creep me the hell out. And I know it's not really fair of me because they are good people, just with different philosophies on life and growing up and all that. But man, I just think there are so many of us from our generation that are going to live into our 80's+, that what's the point of settling down before you even get out of your mid-20's, you know? Probably just me being immature but something about it just seems off. -Bullpen catcher for an MLB team. Get to travel with an MLB team for 6 months, but without too much responsibility. I think it would be fascinating to be able to sit in the bullpen/dugout/clubhouse for a couple games. -For animals that I've actually encountered, bats freak me the f out. I've seen way too many in sh*tty college houses I lived in. If they're outside I'm fine, though. Otherwise I can't imagine anything scarier than:
-Never ridden a horse, really don't have any desire too. I see no way that'd be comfortable, man or woman. -Barefoot. If I'm around someone new and I have my shoes/socks off, I'd say it's about a 90% chance I'll get a comment on my freakishly long alien toes.
You are stranded on a deserted island for the rest of your days, which will be plentiful.
Would you rather your only companion be a woman who is a)smart, into all kinds of music, but really unattractive or b)vapid, not into music but really, really hot?
Would you rather have a)5 books of any title or b)5 CDs (with a CD player) of any title?
Would you rather a)only eat coconuts or b)only eat raw fish?
Would you rather get a message in a bottle that contained a)baseball box scores or b)music reviews of albums you will never hear?

The second, and then I’ll have her listen to my 5 chosen CD’s (spoiler alert for later question) and she’ll change her tune about not being into music.
Would you rather have a)5 books of any title or b)5 CDs (with a CD player) of any title?
5 CD's. Now what they'd be is an extremely difficult question to answer.
Would you rather a)only eat coconuts or b)only eat raw fish?
Coconuts. I'm not a seafood fan.
Would you rather get a message in a bottle that contained a)baseball box scores or b)music reviews of albums you will never hear?
Possibly my favorite question so far, but one of the easiest answers. While it'd be cool to know something like "Oh, I guess Arcade Fire started going down hill in 2019", I'd absolutely HAVE to know if the Brewers won a World Series in my lifetime. Or ever for that matter. The Packers Super Bowl win over the Steelers two years ago is one of the three or four greatest moments of my life, and I'm a bigger Brewers/baseball fan than I am a Packers/football fan.
Pancakes or waffles is definitely the question of the day
Also favorite color? If you could be reincarnated as any animal what would it be? Any person you'd like to be reincarnated as in any time?
Waffles, but that's mostly by default. I don't like the texture/consistency of pancakes.
DOES NOBODY READ MY ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS. If I had to pick, I'd say blue.
I'd be an otter. The last time I went to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago I spent at least half an hour watching the River Otters. They always seem so happy and are just fascinating to observe.
Probably someone like Andrew Carnegie. To be that insanely rich while being so philanthropic is just awesome to me. One of my favorite quotes (which admittedly I had to look up again) from anyone is his "Man must have no idol and the amassing of wealth is one of the worst species of idolatry! No idol is more debasing than the worship of money!"
