I don't think ive done that since high school, at least that I can remember and I would actually give my own students grief about missing class when they are sick.
papayahed have you seen the abbott & Costello bit about mustard?
I might have asked something like this before---do you know any cover versions that you like better than the originals?
Pantonic's Little Drummer Boy comes to mind
Is there any fear in your heart when you drive downtown while at home?
Even though those are three of my favorite things I don't remember seeing that bit.Quote:

No, but I take certain cautions re: lightening.
What is your least favourite city? (and why)(oh, and please be politically correct)
Richmond, VA. Our state capitol has a crime rate almost equal to New York City!
Same question
Los Angeles CA, The sky is usually always a lovely murky brown and it is usually hot, and I don't give with the LA crowd, not that I really jive with any crowd.
What is one of your favorite scents?
oh gee dark muse---almost too many to name and there are so many good ones!
but an interesting component to some of mine is the relationship to memories (which is an answer to a trivial pursuit question actually!)
wd-40 often reminds me of working on bikes in an outdoor shop, with new friends while listening to music. strawberry suave and agree shampoo (hard to find) reminds me of high school athletic days. cut grass, football double sessions. wrestling mats and workout sweat smell pretty much the same everywhere and bring lots of memories even as you build new ones.
and oh, old used books!
papayahed, you can find the abbott and Costello mustard bit on youtube really easily...I suspect they did it more than once but the one that's in my mind is from one of their movies.
what are 2-3 of your favorite scenes from all of harry potter?
The Scene: Snape’s mastery of his classroom is epitomised by his contemptuously drawling instruction to “turn to page three hundred and ninety four.” It doesn’t look much written down, but somehow Alan Rickman manages to make it sound like a threat…
Charity Burbage
The Scene: Voldemort’s cruelty is ruthlessly demonstrated by his torture and eventual murder of Hogwarts teacher Charity Burbage at Malfoy Manor. As if to make things worse, her former colleague Snape watches on impassively…
I obtained help with my choices above.
What is your favourite non-fiction book?
Theodore Roosevelt and the Assassin: Madness, Vengeance, And The Campaign Of 1912
Your favorite Marvel Superhero?
tony since you mention him, I thought snape (ultimately) was a great character in the stories and one of my favorite scenes is at the very end when harry tells his young son that he is named after one of the bravest men he ever knew, referring to snape.
and I also love, from the last movie, when harry tells ron and Hermione he has to go to the forest to meet voldemort and they all know he's going to be killed---and Hermione cries and says "i'll go with you!"
oh marvel superhero---that's a toughie. I read the comics and watched the cartoons as a kid but so much of the sentiments towards them are shaped by the current movies and each of them has so many neat qualities.
a strong affinity towards iron man---love the humor and incredible intelligence and the go it alone attitude.
but I have to put the nod for thor and captain America for their ability to lead and foster loyal allegiance. don't know if I could pick between them.
favorite DC superhero?
