GRUB-OLOGY
* What is your salad dressing of choice?
Hail Caesar! Extra anchovy.

* What is your favorite sit down restaurant?
Groovy little café in West End of Brisbane called the Jazzy Cat.

* What food could you eat every day for two weeks and not get sick of?
Home made pizza or maybe corn on the cob w~butter

A dodgy out of focus photograph that I took out the window of a bus in Paris back in ’95 at the Moulin Rouge at night (attached).

Bouncing silver word ‘borysSNORC’

Too many to count

Hideous yellow popcorn machine that looks like a dopey yellow dinosaur – tragic gift number 156.

Tiny feet 😉 and my best friend once told me that my long blonde hair was ‘my one true beauty, without which I would be ugly’. We were 7 but I have never forgotten…
* Are you right handed or left handed?
Right.
* Do you like your smile?
Sure, though I don’t tend to smile a lot…..

Not really.

MISC-OLOGY

DARE-OLOGY
For this last section, if you would do it for less or more money, indicate how much.
* Would you walk naked for a half mile down a public street for $100,000?
Yes.
* Would you kiss a member of the same sex for $100?
Yes. Hell (shrug) I’ve done it for free.
* Would you have sex with a member of the same sex for $10,000?
Ditto previous answer
* Would you allow one of your little fingers to be cut off for $200,000?
Yes, but only the pinky on my right hand… never liked it very much.
* Would you never blog again for $50,000?
By all means. You can pay me to not do something I currently don’t do.
* Would you pose naked in a magazine for $250,000?
Sure, so long as I had some input into the final layout and they didn’t want me to answer those banal questions they put to chicks in magazines.
.
* Would you drink an entire bottle of hot sauce for $1000?
No. But maybe for about $10,000.
* Would you, without fear of punishment, take a human life for $1,000,000?
Is that US dollars? Probably would depending on the method required and whether or not they were in anyway connected to me. Does that make me morally flexible or morally bankrupt?
* Would you shave your head and get your entire body waxed for $5,000?
My hair is waist length, and I would want a lot more than $5,000, but only because it is my one true beauty you understand (refer above). Other than that, I am not particularly hirsute, so wax away!
* Would you give up watching television for a year for $25,000?
Haven’t watched TV for a couple of years now, but have an extensive DVD collection.
