Wow, it’s been a while since one of these.
To wit…
1. What was the first swear word you learned? (You can, of course choose to censor your answer.)
There’s only one way to answer this:
Fuck this court. Fuck Jim Lahey. Fuck Randy. Fuck those two idiot cops right there. Fuck suit dummies; as a matter of fact fuck legal aid. Fuck Danny and Terry’s Buffalo Chicken Wings. Fuck all the old wood in here. Fuck the moon, fuck corn on the cob, fuck squirrels. Fuck me, fuck you, fuck everything!
My mom always thought I was a demon child, though she agrees I got better.
2. If you could have a functioning version of any comic book character’s accessory or vehicle, which would you choose and why?
Wow, this is a tough question. I could go really Brodie Bruce here. Obviously Batman has loads of cool gadgets. However, all the gadgetry subconsciously reminds me of the blasphemous renditions of the Batman television series from the 60’s. As a teen, it made for better savory fare than Thundercats, but come the 1989 Burton film, ONLY the darker version mattered to me. I preferred nerve over techno-crap.
For all other mainstream comic book heroes, they generally have some special ability (to which the Batman does not, he is truly human). As such, in general, I do find most accessories redundant. And aside from the obvious choice of the Batmobile, not other vehicles strike me.
But I thought. What else is there. In going to ‘independent’ comics, I do lead to Angloman. And this gives me the first of two real responses. The billingual shield. Very ironic, as no stop signs in Quebec have the English half of the shield. It must be an import from Ottawa or New Brunswick. And it does STOP everything.
Going to more mainstream, I would have to pick Wolverine’s adamantium skeleton and claws. It’s about the only add-on that fits a character with mutant (or any special) power. It would definitely add to your punch in a fight. Though I’d have to make friends with Magneto right fast.
3. What is your least favorite exercise?
Well, I’d have to go back to ski team for this one, but I’d have to say burpees. A few of us on the team played armoured rugby, and modified an ascending and descending pyramid excersise utilizing burpees. I didn’t mind the aerobic element of the exercise, but the additional damage to my knee, considering I also trained for mogul skiing, it did one hell of a job on my knees. Owww.
4. Can you keep a secret?
What secret?
SPECIAL BONUS QUESTION: What is my middle name? ([MCF] probably won’t answer this one, but it will be fun to see what people say…)
It’s in your title. Cloaked. Though in the ‘real’ world, seeing as you keep yourself right private, who knows. But if my experience with middle names is accurate, it would be something you’d probably cringe at. And if I’m not mistaken, you have an Italian background, so maybe something traditionally Italian like Guisseppe.
That is all.
