hiding out with Elvis and Jimmy Hoffa

From Childress:
First car you owned? A 1992 Ford F150

Favourite Author? Don't really have one favorite.
Last book you read? Can't remember the last book I read cover to cover. Probably the third lord of the rings.

Last gig you went to? Zac Brown Band
Favourite band? Hard to pick just one. It changes about weekly. I like a lot of 90s rock.

Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie? Jolie, no question.

Favorite chocolate? Snickers

Best steak you ate was at? Cork and Cleaver in Evansville, IN

Favorite Stone Temple Pilots song? Big Empty

Top 5 Clint Eastwood movies? never seen one besides Gran Turismo

Are you stronger than Keith Bulluck? Yes

Ever had a phantom dump?
That rare moment when you drop a duece and turn around to see nothing there. You wipe your butt and there's nothing there either.

Nope


Ever done drugs? Have tried one or two puffs of pot, and tried one xanax, neither did anything for me.

Ever been arrested? Nope.

 

zero. Never had a full on fight. I was always a lot bigger than other kids and school, plus didn't start stuff.

 

Kathy Bates.

 

Gunny:

1. Ever been overseas?Yep, went to London, Paris, Assisi, Rome, Pisa, Florence back in 2008 or 2009.

2. Best Holiday? Vacation in american english? To Italy or london, I also like San Diego a lot for the weather.
Best Holiday as we call it: Christmas

3. Dream job? Professional musician outside of my city

4. Current job? By day, I do drug testing for rock miners and other professions (aka pee collector or pee man) on nights and weekends I play guitar and sing at bars, and also DJ weddings. The latter two are much more fun.

5. What would you do with 1 million dollars?
Spend about 20 grand on a recording studio or something, save a lot of it. I honestly don't like having "fancy things." If I had a nice guitar or car or house, I'd have to constantly worry about them. I hate living like that. I'll keep my ford focus and my regular house.

6. What other sports/teams do you follow? Nashville Predators, but even last season I hardly followed the Titans. Don't know why, but just wasn't too into it or football in general.

7. How would you feel being named Sexiest Man in the World? Surprised.

8. Do you think I should be a mod? Yes.

 

no

 

you answered that Kathy Bates/Jack question way too certain.


What car would you own (realistic) if you had your choice tomorrow?

By realistic I mean... not a Bugatti Veyron, Maybach, etc.

 

Nicholson never turned my crank.


If I had a choice, I'm not a big car guy,
but I love the look of one of my friend's dad's 50s or 60s mustang or corvette. Can't remember what it is. It's either a baby blue or like a surf green. It is awesome. I like the pastel colored old 50s and 60s cars. I would pick something like that.

YES. this:

 

THAT is a '56 or '57 Corvette. My dream vintage car also. They moved to the double headlights after that, which I hated.

 

Favourite breed of dog?

Should Arnie have stayed retired?

An item on your Bucket list?
What happened with the job at the tv station?

 

[QUOTE=Childress79:Favourite breed of dog? I had 2 greyhounds. They both died within the past 2 years after good long lives. that's my favorite breed. Also like huskies.

Should Arnie have stayed retired? I love Arnold. I feel like by the late 90s, the best years were behind him. I think there are still roles for him. But not as a buff robot. If I had to vote about him playing another Terminator or staying retired, I'd say stay retired. He looked silly in T3.

An item on your Bucket list? I really don't have one. I need to, though.

What happened with the job at the tv station? I worked there from 2007 to 2009. I had a blast there. It was a good college job. Once minimum wage went up in 2009 I think it was, I was making not significantly more than that. After 2 years there, I knew it wasn't a career that was going anywhere, and I had already switched majors. So I decided to leave, and make more money somewhere else. I ended up coming back for a month or so in 2010 at my boss' request to fill in for someone who was having a baby.

The station has since been bought out and merged with a local competitor, and a lot of people lost jobs because of that. Glad I didn't stick around. And a lot of Camera operators are being replaced by robots anyway. It was a fun time, got to meet some great people there. local TV news is just a dying thing, overall. Not as bad as newspapers, but still a fading business.
