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.

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!"

lame glenn. vapid doesn't disappear after listening to some cds.

Blissful ignorance. And Super Nintendo. Mega Man X might be the greatest game ever; I miss playing that obsessively for months at a time.
How did you find out santa claus wasn't real? (spoiler alert!)
Don't remember how old I was, but it was Christmas Night and I was putting together a toy race car track with my dad that I received earlier in the day when he decided to tell me. I was young enough to handle it like an entire wuss, in which I ran upstairs sobbing telling my mom, all the while my brother was laughing. The family stereotype couldn't have been more perfect: dad taking the tough job of breaking the news, mom consoling me, older brother laughing.
When was the last time you were nervous?
The last time I was legitimately nervous to the point where I had butterflies and my stomach was turning was probably my interview about 6 months ago. I suppose there's been some other smaller stuff in between, but that's what sticks out the most in recent memory.
Most embarrassing album you ever bought?
I don't know if I technically bought it or if it was free from one of those catalogs, but whatever Savage Garden CD had the "I wanna stand with you on a mountain" song. When I was in 5th grade I legitimately liked that song for whatever reason, and then I found out the girl I had a crush on liked it as well, so obviously in my 10 year old mind that meant that we were soul mates.
Is your handwriting neat or messy?
In between. Probably closer to neat.
3 favorite smells?
Outside on a crisp fall day, freshly made banana bread, and the Mango flavor of Naked Juice, which coincidentally is the greatest tasting thing on Earth.
3 favorite weird/uncommon scents?
Cigar/pipe smoke, fresh tennis ball can, is laundry detergent a weird scent?

one time me and cks saw the otter at the san diego zoo. it was real cute. till it showed us it's wenis and then i was kind of traumatized.

Here are my thoughts: I know Tom's initial question said something about my days on the deserted island being plentiful, but I can't imagine it exactly being an ideal situation to build a serious personal/romantic relationship with someone. While I feel like I've had relationships/gone on dates with/etc. with girls who are a little out of my league looks-wise thanks to me being a somewhat nice and smart person, I'll probably never have the opportunity to hook up with a ridiculously attractive girl, so why not on a desert island when there's no future. Although with my track record of talking to cute girls I'm meeting for the first time I'd probably come up with something like "So uh, do you come here often?" Maybe I should switch to the smart/cool/physically unattractive girl.
2011 NLCS. My favorite professional sports team losing to my least favorite professional sports team. It's also how the series went: Brewers winning game 1, but then losing 2 and 3 (complete with dumbsh*t Ron Roenicke starting Mark Kotsay in centerfield!) Knowing Randy Wolf was going to be pitching Game 4 in STL I had accepted the fact it wasn't happening. But the Brewers then win Game 4 and suddenly it's tied, Greinke on the mound in Game 5, and coming back to Milwaukee for 6 and 7 (if necessary.) Of course Greinke then doesn't pitch well, it's 3-2 Cards heading back to Milwaukee and the Cards pound Marcum in the first inning effectively ending the game before it started. But wait, the Brewers come back with 4 of their own in the first two innings, they're only down 5-4, they're in this! Just kidding the Cardinals would get like 7 more runs the rest of the way. I hate baseball. Close second and third: Packers vs. Eagles Divisional Round 2003 aka 4th and 26 game, and 2007 NFC Championship game Packers vs. Giants. Both had some solid vintage Favre moments.
best sports fanhood memory?
Packers over Steelers Super Bowl 45. Runner-ups would be Wisconsin's run to the Final Four in 2000 as an 8 seed playing an ungodly boring brand of basketball, and the Brewers 2008 season; specifically the last few games of the year, culminating with Braun's go ahead home run in the 8th against the Cubs on the last day followed up by the Marlins officially knocking out the Mets like 20 minutes later thus handing the Brewers the Wild Card.
related: top 5 sporting event/games you've been to (could be magnitude of game, could be events that transpired.)
1. Ron Dayne breaking the all time NCAA rushing record in the last regular season game of 1999 in which Wisconsin demolished Iowa and sealed their second consecutive Rose Bowl berth. 2. 2011 NLDS Game 1. First time going to a Brewers playoff game, and it was an awesome pitching match-up between Gallardo and Ian Kennedy. All around fantastic atmosphere. 3. Wisconsin vs. Richmond in the first round of the 2004 NCAA Tournament in Milwaukee. Wisconsin was a legitimate top 6 or 7 team in the country and got boned with a 6 seed because they were playing at "home" the first two rounds. Wisconsin was down double digits early and came storming back. I'd never and still have never been to a basketball game that was more electric. Of course then they had to play #3 seed Pittsburgh in the next round, which should've been an Elite 8 game, and lost in a close/tough game. 4. Final regular season game of 1998 season when Wisconsin beat Penn State to clinch a Rose Bowl berth. I remember walking out of the stadium with the Penn State team bus driving past and everyone chanting "Alamo Bowl", although in retrospect Jerry Sandusky was very likely on that bus which just creeps me the Quack out. 5. Can't really think of anything that stacks up with the top 4, so I'll just say random baseball games: Cubs vs. Braves in like '05ish at Wrigley. The Braves hit 8 home runs AND Aramis Ramirez missed an easy popup that bounced off his head. I was also at a White Sox-Royals game in '08 in which the White Sox hit four consecutive home runs, so that was pretty neat to see.
5 CD's. Now what they'd be is an extremely difficult question to answer.
What are the 5 CDs?
Beatles-Abbey Road Bon Iver-For Emma, Forever Ago Explosions in the Sky-Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever Arcade Fire-Funeral Talking Heads-Talking Heads 77
The only one I feel good about is Abbey Road. I could probably think of about 40 other albums to slot in #2-5 (those aren't in order btw.)
Never had a Bagel Bite, so I guess Pizza Rolls by default.
My freshman year in the dorms my hall had Pizza Rolls at the front desk every Thursday night, something like 10 for $1. I can't tell you how many times I drunkenly scalded my tongue.
Talking Heads '77. Although maybe not as much as I thought cause Rolling Stone does have it at 290 on their top 500 list. Obviously Psycho Killer is great, but Tentative Decisions and Uh-Oh Love Comes to Town are two of my favorite TH songs.
When politics comes up at work. I have to bite my tongue often cause I think talking politics at work is even dumber than doing so on Facebook. I'm sure I could come up with something better but this is a good recent example.
I do and I'm quite honored. Just have to get out a big report this morning. Plus, as some of you may be aware, I can be, erm, verbose - so I'm trying to mentally trim some of my answers before posting.
