1.You are condemned to Hell and forced to listen to three songs you hate for eternity. What are the songs?
The shortest song ever recorded, according to the Guinness Book of Records, is "You Suffer" by Napalm Death, which clocks in at just 1.316 seconds long. A few others like that would be tolerable.
2.What mythical of fictional character do you wish actually existed?
V from
V for Vendetta or Number 6 from The
Prisoner. Someone to stir things up. I'd also happily join
The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas.
3.What is the oldest piece of furniture in your house?
My 1908 Underwood Series 4 typewriter isn't necessarily "furniture," so I'd have to say that my locally-produced Kittinger terrestrial globe is my oldest furniture piece. Manufactured in 1931, Model 48F9. The globe was made by the renowned British globe maker W. & A.K. Johnston, and likely imported by A.J. Nystrom, Chicago. It's handsomely seated upon a hand-crafted 36" English Georgian style American Walnut stand with a carved acanthus leaf base and scrolling legs made in Buffalo, NY.
The globe is a lovely complement to my vintage decor and fits beautifully beside my French doors and antique Philco console radio and 78 player. The Philco console was found at the curb on trash day and all the tubes fired right up when I plugged it in. It's amazing what some people will throw away.
4. How do you think other people see you (in the real world, not here)?
I was stopped by a stranger at the office a while back who said, "OH! YOU'RE THE FASHION GUY!" And I often get asked for photos at local festivals and record shows. I'm a bit notorious and my reputation evidently precedes me.
5. If you only had one question, What would you ask your future self thirty years from now?
I'd really want to know if I'll ever be able to retire. I'd hate to have to work right to my grave.
6. Have you ever broken a bone? If so, which one(s)?
I've not. I used to cycle the canal every night as a young man, but my athletic days are behind me so I'm pretty safe.
