3. Here's mine
1. Well, I'm a hetersexual female. If I was going into labor, but something urgent was on TV, I'd keep one eye on labor and one eye on the TV until I couldn't anymore.
2. No. I played that Apple Basic lemonade game, though.
3. Hey, to each his/her own.
4. My first car? No idea. My license? Around the block. My friend got into a nasty accident the next day, and my parents wouldn't let me take the car.
5. I think the format we have now is decent, although there are too damn many NBA championship games.
6. Goldfish.
7. They both ran their courses...
8. Nope.
9. Mustard.
10. I'll stay out of that one.

4. Here are my answers...
1. I cannot answer since I will never have a wife...I'm female. I have never wanted children so even if I get married or whatever labor is something I will not have to worry about.
Speaking hypothetically though, I would not begrudge a RED SOX fan for wanting to see the run that clinches the world series. Even though such a game would probably be taped by such a fan, seeing something like that on tape is not the same as experiencing it the moment it happens. I know because I am a Cubs fan.

2. No, never sold lemonade

3. It doesn't freak me out that Europeans have different hygenic standards than Americans.

4. I think the first place I drove my car once I got my license was Indiana. I wanted to see the Monkees and had no coalition of the (un)willing to drive me. I got my license just so I could go see the Monkees on tour in 1986.

5. YES, YES and YES.

6. Hermit crab is the more lame pet. At least fish will lower your blood pressure so there is a healing aspect to having fish.

7. SEINFELD by a longshot. Never got into Cheers.

8. Never been to a confessional...would not confess my "sins" to a human being who is as flawed as I just by being human. In Judaism confession of "sins" is done communaly anyway. It is part of the Yom Kippur liturgy.

9. Neither...I like my burgers naked!

10. Even though I love the Grateful Dead, I realize that without the Beatles there may have been no Dead. The Beatles paved the way for a lot of musicians.

16. Maybe the Os will pick up some talent in the off-season
the Sox just got Foulke which will round out the bullpen.

Good luck to the Orioles; I'd love to see us beat out the Yanks.

7. my answers....
1. If you were a huge Red Sox fan and they were one out away from winning the world series - and just at that moment your wife, sister, mother, girlfriend, ect - goes into labor; do you:

(a) Stop everything and go help her
Having had 3 children, and gone through hoops all 3 times to be there with my wife, I must say that I'd drop everything.

2. Did you ever sell lemonaide in front of your house as a kid, if so - how much did you charge?
$10 a glass. I only sold one, but it was a quick profit.

3. Worst international sight - a British person's teeth or a French woman with armpit hair?
American Sailors, drunk, argueing with a Chinese cabbie on the best whorehouse in Singapore. Now that's ugly.

4. Where was the first place you drove to once you got your first car?
Work. We only had one car, and my wife kept it 95% of the time.

5. Should all sports have one-game championships like football does, or keep a series format?
Most sports should keep the series format. Football, being physically abusive, should keep the one game championship.

6. What's a lamer pet - a goldfish or a hermit crab?
Goldfish. Hermit crabs are cool, I'm thinking of getting my kids one.

7. What cancelled tv show would you rather have back on the air - Seinfeld or Cheers?
Cheers. At least Cheers was funny. But I would really go for a good MASH sequel.

8. Have you ever stepped in a confessional booth - if you have or haven't - how many sins did/would you confess?
10 or 12. It's been a long time since I was a good Catholic.

9. Better condiment: Ketchup or Mustard?
Ketchup goes with everything. Mustard is better on a few things.

10. Name a band that's better than the Beatles, in your opinion.
The London Symphony Orchestra.

1. I would watch at her bedside

11. Ok, here we go again
1. If you were a huge Red Sox fan and they were one out away from winning the world series - and just at that moment your wife, sister, mother, girlfriend, ect - goes into labor; do you:

(a) Stop everything and go help her
(b) Keep one eye on her and one eye on the tv
(c) Say 'can it wait until the last out' ?

C - definitely

2. Did you ever sell lemonaide in front of your house as a kid, if so - how much did you charge?
No

3. Worst international sight - a British person's teeth or a French woman with armpit hair?
Don't make me beat you for being a sexist pig Rat. *stern look*

4. Where was the first place you drove to once you got your first car?
To the store to pick some stuff up for my mom. That was the deal - I got the car when I wanted it if I always ran errands when asked.

5. Should all sports have one-game championships like football does, or keep a series format?
I like series. They give you a better idea of who is really better.

6. What's a lamer pet - a goldfish or a hermit crab?
Never had a crab so I can't really say if they're lame or not. I loved my goldfishes.

7. What cancelled tv show would you rather have back on the air - Seinfeld or Cheers?
Cheers - I may be the only person in the United States who has never seen an entire episode of Seinfeld.

8. Have you ever stepped in a confessional booth - if you have or haven't - how many sins did/would you confess?
No I have not. I wouldn't confess any of them. Whatever transgressions I commit are between me, my conscience, and the person I did them to - not some priest.

9. Better condiment: Ketchup or Mustard?
I like them both. I didn't really eat much mustard until I went on my diet back in 2002. Now I eat it all the time - it's pretty spiffy, no calories and no fat.

10. Name a band that's better than the Beatles, in your opinion.
Can't do it. The Beatles aren't necessarily my favorite band but overall their entire catalog is hard to beat.

15. Pfft.
1. If you were a huge Red Sox fan and they were one out away from winning the world series - and just at that moment your wife, sister, mother, girlfriend, ect - goes into labor; do you:

(a) Stop everything and go help her
(b) Keep one eye on her and one eye on the tv
(c) Say 'can it wait until the last out' ?

None of the above. If I'm not one of the two immediate parents (and I wouldn't be) then there's nothing I could do for her in terms of her labour anyway. It'll take as long as it takes. Which is moot since I'm not a huge Red Sox Fan, I'm a huge Mariner's fan; and if the Sox are in the World Series the best I can say is I'm glad for them, and I hope they beat the Yankees.

2. Did you ever sell lemonaide in front of your house as a kid, if so - how much did you charge?

I think you mean 'lemonade' Mr.Award-WinningJournalistPants, and no.

3. Worst international sight - a British person's teeth or a French woman with armpit hair?

British person's teeth? You mean like Nigella Lawson, David Beckham, Hugh Grant, Elizabeth Hurley, and Tony Blair? French women's armpit hairs? Have you ever been to France? Most of the women there have better grooming habits than most of the women in downtown New York.

4. Where was the first place you drove to once you got your first car?

My friend L.P.'s house.

5. Should all sports have one-game championships like football does, or keep a series format?

Whatever.

6. What's a lamer pet - a goldfish or a hermit crab?

I think you mean "Which pet is lamer," Mr. Award-WinningJournalistPants. And the lamest pet I'm aware of is a mold named Ira growing on a bathroom ceiling in McCarty Hall.

7. What cancelled tv show would you rather have back on the air - Seinfeld or Cheers?

Sports Night or STNG

8. Have you ever stepped in a confessional booth - if you have or haven't - how many sins did/would you confess?

Of course I have, I'm Catholic. As many as necessary.


9. Better condiment: Ketchup or Mustard?

Salsa.

10. Name a band that's better than the Beatles, in your opinion.

The Who, the Rolling Stones, Yes, Nirvana... heck bunches of 'em.
