Five perfectly stupid questions for the lounge

1)Name a book title that ends with a question mark.

2)Were there 78 RPMs in your house when you were a kid? How about 45s?

3)What's the highest elevation you've ever been, excluding in an airplane? (p.s. skyscrapers count!)

4)Given a choice among these states ONLY, where would you live and why:
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Idaho, Arizona.

5) Which would you prefer in terms of health care reform:
Bottomless sundaes, bacon, or broccoli?


my answers:
1)What Color is your Parachute?

2) Yes, and we had a turntable that could play them either one. Sometimes the 45s were played at 78 RPM...

3) 6288 ft.

4)Arizona, for the scenery.

5) Broccoli.

1)Name a book title that ends with a question mark.

Who Moved My Cheese?

2)Were there 78 RPMs in your house when you were a kid? How about 45s?

Yes to both. When I was 3 (1965) I got my first record player for Christmas, it could play 78s, 45s and LPs

3)What's the highest elevation you've ever been, excluding in an airplane? (p.s. skyscrapers count!)

One of the mountains around Park City, UT, but I'm damned if I know the name or elevation, sorry.

4)Given a choice among these states ONLY, where would you live and why:
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Idaho, Arizona.

Pennsylvania, because I lived there until I graduated high school.

5) Which would you prefer in terms of health care reform:
Bottomless sundaes, bacon, or broccoli?

Bacon!

1. Who cut the cheese?

2. Nope. Parents were frugal and did not buy into record collections.

3. Cloud 9.

4. Idaho. Because maybe somebody will buy my services. :evilgrin:

5. Broccoli. Tasty, green, sexy broccoli.

Quo Vadis - does that actually end in a question mark? I can't remember.

45s but no 78s

I have no idea

Pennsylvania because I was born and raised here.

Bottomless sundae

Why? Yes - 6,643 on Clingmans Dome PA because it'd be a sane state to live in and broccoli.

1. What is String Theory? (Polchinski)
2. Yes & yes
3. 14,410 ft. (Mt. Rainier)
4. Idaho (for the natural beauty)
5. Oh, my greasy lover, bacon...

1.) How Did This Happen? (subtitled: Terrorism and The New War) by James F. Hoge Jr. and Gideon Rose.
2.) No. My parents were among the earliest adopters of CDs.
3.) Skyland, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia.
4.) PA is an east coast northern state. It also has Philly, and I can totally handle living in Philly.
5.) Sundaes

1.. Dude, where's My Country? by the incomparable Michael Moore
2. Yes, and I actually still own a few...by Tampa Red and Johnnie Ray among a few others, and as far as 45's, I started buying them in about 1962, and still own hundreds, and even now, occasionally still throw some of the best of em on my turntable and crank it up as loud as apartment living will allow . The first one I ever bought was Alvin's Harmonica, and the first rocknroll one was It Will Stand , by The Showmen, followed soon by Twistin' The Night Away by Sam Cooke, and Dear Lady Twist by Gary U.S. Bonds. (and no, I have no idea how I remember stuff like this). My parents also had some 78's but don't remember any 45's ...
3. pretty sure it's Wheeler Peak near Taos, New Mexico which I climbed in the 70's.....13,167 feet...maybe the single most exhausting thing I've ever done in my life.
4. Arizona, because it's close to and similar to my home in New Mexico . Desert, mountains, spectacular scenery everywhere, But I'd stay in the higher elevations; no Phoenix for me ( played in Scottsdale last summer and was sitting around the pool at midnight after our gig, and it was still 96 degrees) . Maybe Flagstaff even though it gets pretty cold in the winter...pretty cool college town though ( Northern Arizona U.)and close to Grand Canyon.
5. Broccoli all the way. But lots of bacon for republicans.

1.) Who owns information?
2.) Yes, I think so
3.) 14,505 feet, summit of Mt. Whitney
4.) Arizona, Grand Canyon
5.) Broccoli
