23-Have you been to see any plays in Arkansas? What? Where? When?
Oh yeah, I saw Charlie Brown at the Royal

24-What movie(s) would you like to see on the big screen again?
Raiders of the Lost Ark, Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail, Pink Floyd's The Wall, and Wayne's World (just because I'm in it).

25-How often do you camp and where in Arkansas?
I don't camp so much, but I've been to Greers Ferry and it's purrrrrty.

26-How civilized are you when you camp?
I like RVs way better than tents, I can tell ya that.

27-Should the toilet paper's end be on the wall side or the toilet side?
The toilet paper should be on YOUR end. Other than that, the toilet side.

28-What happened to waterbeds?
Cats killed them.

29-Where do you get gas and what's it cost you to fill'r up?
Sim's BBQ - oh wait - Murphy's and Valero. About $40

30-Where would you go to buy a boat? Already have one?
The classifieds or an uncle. I no have one.

31-Who might you vote for in the presidential election?
Stephen Colbert

32-How will you spend your Ecinomic Stimulus Payment?
(How embarrassing, another typo.) Shoot - I can't use the "buy a tank of gas" joke since I already said that is $40. Pay off the credit card? Umm, go to Disneyland? (By myself?)

33-Would you/did you go to your high school reunion? Why/not?
I went to the 10, the 15 and the 20. I'm just so darn popular, how could I not go?

34-Where do you go to ride a horse? Own any? What's your riding skill level?
I'm with Anita on the 50 cent horse in front of Kmart. I'm not so good at it and the trail guide got mad on me because my horse broke in line.

35-What's your favorite sport to watch?
Little league baseball or soccer. Also NBA, but my tv screen size to living room size ratio is way out of whack.

36-What's your favorite pro team? (Obviously not in Arkansas)
I still like the Mavericks, even though they stink it up in the playoffs every year.

37-How would a pro team do in Arkansas? In what city?
A pro NBA team would do well in LR if they had a better arena parking situation than Alltel. There are plenty of folks around Arkansas who would plunk down on a regular basis to see the stars play. The real question is how to keep from getting stuck with a stoopid name like the Ballhawgers or the Riverdunkers. How 'bout the Diamond Cotton Watermelons?

38-What concert or show do you wish would come to town?
John Mayer, Garth Brooks, Weezer, and magically, Stevie Ray Vaughan and The Ramones.

39-Do you ever shop/buy online?
For gobs o' stuff.

40-What's your favorite water (lake, etc.) in Arkansas?
DeGray and Greers Ferry. I'd like more access and features on the Saline River.

YESSS!! But I'd rather the money go to public schools instead of college scholarships.
42-Is your county dry?

43-Do you wish Huckabee had become a presidential nominee? Do you think he has a chance at
vp?
He seems too happy or goofy or something for the top job. Maybe vp, but he sure has some sucking up to do Lucy.

44-Know any languages besides English?
Alfalfa - a made up language we use in my family. It's similar to pig-latin - I'll reveal nothing else about it.

45-What level of still photographer are you? (not/fun/hobby/pro/ocd)
hobby

pro when I have pro equipment

I helped put up a pre-assembled bathroom cabinet yesterday

50-Car mechanic?
I can pump gas, check oil, jump batteries and change tires. Thassit.

I do like to write. The question is whether folks like what I wrote.

I can make a chipmunk sound with my cheek, whistle through my teeth and pull my finger off.

Nevahhhh!!!
