Aye or Nay?

Sure, if you don't have a problem eating twelve muffins to yourself (which I don't) and I really haven't been able to buy good banana bread in this town, so it has to be made.

Academia?

Of the eccentric, over-educated, bucolic sort, sure. Of the neurotic hyper-competitive narcissistic sort-- I think we've all had enough of that at this point.

Long sideburns?

Haha, not on me.

Alternative facial hair?

Mustache and goatee count?

Colored hair such as blue or green?

aye, but only on rare/special occasions, not as a perpetual fashion statement.

the blending of musical genres and expression? (like traditional country being infiltrated by pop and rock, or rock being played by orchestras).

It all depends. Afro-Cuban jazz, yeah! Rockabilly, if you're buying the beer, sure. But orchestral rock songs? Not at these prices.

Life cereal?

totally aye (but my goodness talk about prices!), and I have a good friend named mike too! (although he was never a "mikey")

low sugar "plain" cereals like total, cheerios, rice krispies, corn flakes, etc, eaten without sugar, or fruit, or anything else to sweeten it up?

ugh, aye (I say this in a semi -enthusiastic voice - but I prefer to fit for my sports!)

the paintings of edward hopper?

Cornflakes have their own weird charm without sugar. So do Grape Nuts, although you've got to be in the mood for a chew. But Cheerios are awful plain and not much better with sugar. Wonder why babies like them so much. It probably has something to do with brain size.

Aye to Hopper.

Driving barefoot?

Aye.

Going barefoot for weeks at a time?

All summer if I could, but alas, not practical.

Undershirts?

Well definitely if it's hot, they absorb whatever mild sweat you produce and definitely if it's cold as an extra layer, so aye.

Robbing a library which nobody ever uses and only exists for students in residency (of which there are about two at any time) despite being publicly funded and after the librarian was all *****y at you when you asked for a card?

Naw. It's bound to be on Gutenberg for free.

Buying a used bicycle at a great price even though you suspect that the seller stole it?

Nay. Receiving stolen property carries jail time.

Tempted to shoplift?

Nah, whatever it is, I'm sure I don't need it that bad.

Turning stuff you find I to a lost and found?
