Damn you, Paul!  Damn you to Hell!! 

Or, if you don't believe in the fire and brimstone thing, then Windsor instead.

1: Black and White or Colour; how do you prefer your movies?

A colourised black & white film is an atrocity to my senses. Well, my visual senses.  Sense.  Seeing Ebeneezer Scrooge cavorting in technicolour on whatever American broadcaster is spewing it forth on Christmas eve gives me a hint o' the humbug.  So I don't watch it.

Speaking to the broader question then, I prefer my movies in their original, unaltered state.

Han shot first.

2: What is the one single subject that bores you to near-death?

I have never been brought near to death by any one single subject. I ensure that all of my subjects are under the direct control of their regional governors.  Also, there are garrisons of troops stationed strategically throughout the galaxy to keep the yoke of tyranny firm upon the shoulders of all those who may, in their heart of hearts, wish to bore me to death.

3: MP3s, CDs, Tapes or Records: what is your favourite medium for prerecorded music?

By process of elimination: CDs.

4: You are handed one first class trip plane ticket to anywhere in the world and ten million dollars cash. All of this is yours provided that you leave and not tell anyone where you are going ... Ever. This includes family, friends, everyone. Would you take the money and ticket and run?

No.  I would take the money and ticket and get on the plane.  I'd get there a lot faster.  I've run 38 kilometres at a single go, but it took me a hella long time compared to how quickly a plane can travel that same distance. 

Well OK, semantics aside, I'll stick with the first word of this reply only.

5: Seriously, what do you consider the world's most pressing issue now?

Like, this instant?  My wife's due date being just over a week away.  Combine this with the fact that she's sore, achy, tired, stricken with a wicked ass head cold and she can't take any cold medication or any pain killer stronger than regular "eye-see-the-minivan".

'Pressing' is a goddam euphemism.

6: How would you rectify the world's most pressing issue?

By doing whatever the hell she asks me to.  RIGHT NOW.

7: You are given the chance to go back and change one thing in your life; what would that be?

I wouldn't have gone to the cottage by the lake that one summer in Ontario.

8: You are given the chance to go back and change one event in world history, what would that be?

"Look, I said don't eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.  And what do you do?  You eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.  In hindsight, I probably should have put up a fence or something, so, my bad.  Just don't do it again, m'kay?  I might start to get a little smitey and Gabe's been itchin' to use that big ass flaming sword of his."

9: A night at the opera, or a night at the Grand Ole' Opry -- Which do you choose?

That depends.  Are Bugs and Elmer going to be performing The Barber of Seville?

10: What is the one great unsolved crime of all time you'd like to solve?

I want the name of the single individual responsible for cancelling Firefly.  Ass.

11: One famous author can come to dinner with you. Who would that be, and what would you serve for the meal?

William Shakespeare.
We'd each have two double quarter pounders from McDonald's.
Do the math.  It makes sense.

12: You discover that John Lennon was right, that there is no hell below us, and above us there is only sky -- what's the first immoral thing you might do to celebrate this fact?

Take the ten million dollars that I didn't spend in question #4 and do two chicks at the same time.

Seriously...who did cancel Firefly?!?

I want a piece of his ass when you're finished!! >:|

[Linda]

Uh, Simon, I'm embarrased as hell to tell you this but I'm a "tag virgin" but very willing to comply... please hold my hand and help me through this... Please, be gentle ;-)
Your answers were awesome.

[Jenn]

Absolutely brilliant. I wish that my subjects were as well controlled as yours, damn it.

Good luck to the Mrs, by the way. I'm exceedingly excited for her...Mary wasn't born long enough ago that I have completely forgotten the misery of the last few weeks of pregnancy.

Answer # 8 is perfect!

BTW ... How's the "foetus" coming along? In case you haven't seen yet, CBB's has arrived (you apparently lost the race!):

Dang it, Simon. I'll do it. I'll probably post it along with my pic of the week on Friday. We'll see.

Loved 10 (Firefly freakin' rules) and 11 (a pound of flesh -- beautiful!)

somehow answer #12 makes me a tad anxious in relation to answers #5 and 6. have you thought this through?

[Mark]

Kaaaaahhhhnnnnnnn!!!

[Simon]

Marian,

I fervently believe in a god of some sort or other, so wrote the reply to #12 with that firmly in mind. The inherent silliness of the question was responded to in kind.

Hugs and kisses,
Simon

[marian]

ahh, a brave and faithful man. hugs and kisses to you too, simon.

[Paul]

Windsor? I think you may have just converted me right there, Simon. The thought of eternal damnation on a lake of fire seems somehow pleasant compared to the thought of Windsor.

Heh.
