Don't forget to leave a link to your journal in the comments. You're welcome to answer the questions here in a comment or to put the answers in an entry on your journal...but the link you leave here gives everyone who plays a chance to visit your journal! (There's nothing wrong with a little self-promotion, so leave the link!) Enjoy!1. Hindsight is always 20/20, of course, but if you could rename your journal like one of those catchy titles you've seen since you started yours, what would the new name be? (Assuming, of course, that you don't already have a catchy title.)
2. Your life turns into an episode of "The Twilight Zone." Which kind of episode would you most like to experience in a real-life adventure?
A) You're in a plane and a gremlin starts ripping up one of the engines in mid-air.
B) You're the last survivor of a nuclear holocaust.
C) You wake up and no one knows who you are.
D) Aliens invade your quiet neighborhood street.
E) You get phone calls from the dead.
3. If you could travel back in time to any decade of the 20th century, (you know, the 1900's?), which decade would you pick and why?
4. Which is your favorite season of the year and why?
5. What is the oldest movie in your home video collection?
6. You find yourself in an unusual modern art museum. The contents are a mix of kinetic sculpture and interactive pieces. Supposedly, it's THE thing to do in town, so you feel the need to go. After walking around for a while, soaking in the art, you suddenly feel the need to "go" in a different way. On your way to the restroom, you spot two ultra-life like figures depicting Adam and Eve in the Garden. They're wearing only fig leaves. No one else is in that part of the room, and there are no cameras. No one will ever know if you peek under any of the fig leaves. So do you peek?
NEXT WEEK: YOUR questions begin coming back to haunt you! If you haven't already submitted the question you'd like to see asked on a future edition of the "Saturday Six," just go to Saturday Six: Episode 6 and leave your answers in the comment section for that week's game.
My answers:
1. I like the phrase, "Maybe it's just me..." and I think it would apply here, but I think my first choice is a saying I make use of from time to time: "It's Always Something." If, by the way, anyone decides to use either one, let me know: I'd like to visit your journal and see whether we agree.
2. I'm a loner, anyway, so there are times when "B" would be redundant. I think "C" would have the most appeal, because you have the chance to start over with everything...at least until right after the last commercial break when all goes back to normal.
3. I think it would be the 1930's. I'd like to see what life was really like in the depression and I'd like to sit in a theater and watch a "Laurel & Hardy" film as it made its debut to see how the crowd reacted to the sight gags. Also, I have a strong curiosity to know what people did when there was no such thing as television. Surely they didn't actually READ?!?
4. I've always been an autumn person. I like the fact that it's not too hot and not too cool. Also, I like the colors as the leaves turn. Symbolically, there's something sort of melancholy about autumn, and as I am quite good at being melancholy, I like that.
5. I knew it would have to be something of Alfred Hitchcock's...it turns out that the oldest one I currenly own is "Murder!" from 1930.
6. Naturally.

1. What is the last board game you played?
2. Did you win?
3. What is the year, make, model and color of your first car?
4. How many near-empty bottles of shampoo are there in your bathroom? (You know...when there's almost none left, but just enough that you hate to throw the bottle away...yet you start a new one before finishing off the old one?)
5. If you HAD to pick one of the following, but ONLY one, would you rather be:
A) Taller
B) Shorter
C) Skinnier
D) Heavier
E) More Muscular
6. Here's a reader's choice question: Name a question you'd like to see asked in a future edition of the "Saturday Six." Depending on how many questions I get, I'll either devote an entire edition to all viewer-conceived questions, or I'll use one per week over a period of time. (Remember: this time, your response should be a question...don't answer it, yet.)
My answers:
1. Trivial Pursuit
2. No, but came in a close second. That blasted sports category!!
3. Burgundy 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass S. I still miss that car!
4. Two, but one is turned upside down in the hopes of getting all that's left out, so hopefully after tomorrow I'll be down to one.
5. C) Skinnier
6. Well I came up with the other 5...this one's all about you!

1. If you were going to marry a millionaire, would you sign a prenuptial agreement if he or she asked you to? If you were the millionaire, would you ask your fiancé, assuming he or she wasn't a millionaire, to sign one?
2. What movie are you most waiting for on DVD?
3. What book have you recently read that you'd most like to see made into a movie?
4. What kind of candy are you? Take the quiz.
5. Last week, Question #5 asked you to list four things you needed to get done last weekend. How many of the four did you actually do before the weekend was over? If you didn't play last week, you get a break with this one.
6. My last post was about a young man who took being a dissatisfied customer to an extreme. What kind of business or store (you don't have to give proper names) made you mad enough that the thought of going ballistic crossed your mind?
My answers:
1. I think I would sign one, but if I did, it would still have to insure that I was provided for...I wouldn't sign it for $1.00!! I'd like to think I would never consider asking someone to sign one for me, but honestly, I think I might.
2. Here's a goofy answer for you: "Foul Play," a 1978 comedy with Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase. That movie is so campy it's almost serious! The scene with Dudley Moore trying to "seduce" Hawn would be worth the price of the DVD.
3. My favorite author is Dean Koontz. One of his recent books, "False Memory," is a book I'd love to see made into a film. (If you haven't read it, I recommend it.)
4. It says: "You're chocolate. You're the old soul type, people feel that they have known you their entire life. Many often open up to you for they view you as thoughtful and trustworthy. Although people trust you, you have a hard time trusting them. You prefer to keep your feelings bottled up inside, or display them very quietly. It is alright to open up every once in a while." Chocolate always works for me!
5. I did laundry...but that's about it. A pathetic one out of four.
6. Oddly enough, I'd have to say it was my cellular phone service which screwed up my bill for three consecutive months and took even longer to get the problem settled.

1. If you could have any cosmetic surgery procedure for free, (and without any risk of complications) would you, and if so, which one would you pick?
2. What happened the last time you didn't leave a tip (or were tempted not to leave one) at a restaurant that made you reach that point? Did you actually leave nothing? (AFTER you have answered the question...yes, AFTER, visit Jeffcomedy's Guide to Tipping. You might find it as eye-opening as I did.)
3. Which would you rather have in office as President:
A) Someone who supported all of your concerns and got every bill you supported passed ...but was unscrupulous and often lied to get where he is.
B) Someone whose political views were nearly the opposite of yours, but who was only able to pass a handful of bills you didn't want passed...but who was completely honest and ethical all the time.
C) Someone who was middle of the road, passed bills that tended to favor compromise more than any one side of the issue, and was usually (but not always) ethical and honest.
4. What was the last movie you saw in a theater, and was it worth the price of admission?
5. List four things you need to do this weekend. Don't be surpised if there's a quiz later.
6. In honor of Mother's Day, what is the last crisis your mom helped you get through?
My answers:
1. Liposuction is very tempting...but I'm not much on pain, so even despite my "spare tire," I'd still pass.
2. My waitress apparently went home for the night in the middle of my meal and never bothered to have someone else check my table. After several minutes with an empty glass, during which other servers walked by without notice, I walked into the kitchen, refilled my own drink, and even this didn't get the message across: no one ever came to my table. There was no tip left that night...and the manager of the restaurant had a telephone call the next day. Of course, this would never have happened if Jeff had been my server for the evening!
3. This question is meant to be tough. It's fairly easy for me because I'm a middle of the road kind of guy, so I'd choose C. I'm curious to know how the more Conservative and Liberal among you answer.
4. "Dreamcatcher;" Barely. (Yeah, I don't get out much!)
5. Do laundry, vacuum living room, gather up all old newspapers and take them to the recycle bin, make a return trip to the treadmill.
6. Moving to my new job in Virginia. She took charge of helping me get my old apartment cleaned and packed up. I'm a packrat, so this was a nightmare beyond words, but she did it.
1. Many people who criticize the media complain that there is too much "bad" news and not enough "good" news. If you had the option of subscribing to a newspaper that had only positive neighborhood stories, would you?
2. In what section of a bookstore are you most likely to be found?
3. What's the most obsessive-compulsive thing you do in a normal day?
4. Name the oldest thing in your refrigerator. If it's not identifiable, give a best guess at what it once was. (And if you have to guess, throwing it away is recommended.)
5. If you could have one of the following powers, which would you choose and why?
A) Freezing time for everyone but yourself
B) Becoming Invisible at will
C) Reading Minds
D) Moving Objects
6. What New Year's resolution have you already broken, just five months into 2004?
My answers:
1. No
2. Horror Fiction
3. I check the door to make sure it's locked...at least three times.
4. A bottle of Dos Equis beer. It was given to my former roommate...hmm...nine years ago?
5. B) Invisibility. Then I'd know everything that was going on without anyone else knowing I did.
6. Making more time to write my novel.
