Twelve Question Challenge

@shadowspub threw this at me. Haven't figured out how to make it "Catweasel style" yet, but it's early days. If all else fails I can claim it's different because I did it straight for once.

Okay, definitely Catweasel style. Instead of breaking the rules I've created rules and a tag. Who'd a thunk?

1. What 3 meals would you have before heading to the International Space Station?

The first meal would have to be selected by @sultnpapper. His choice of the best barbeque and sides from all the bbq restaurants he knows. Of course, it would have to be from Texas, the poor lad doesn't get out much. I'm okay with that; Texas bbq is almost the best. And copious iced tea. The second meal would be from @theweaselswife's and my favourite Thai diner. I'm not sure of the dishes, we've not been there in a while, but there will be copious Thai iced tea. Finally prime rib, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, asparagus, green salad, and ambrosia. There is only one cook in the world who can do that justice. Fortunately, she loves to cook. And I love to eat. It's (okay, I've said it before, but it's still true,) a match made in heaven. And iced tea. Copious.

2. What section of the newspaper would you be?

I think I would have to be the classifieds. That's where you will find all manner of weird and wonderful things on offer. There's the woman whose boyfriend said: "Either the dog goes or I go." The advertiser doesn't mind which, so take your pick. Then there's the man who is selling his two weeks old Harley at his wife's insistence. "Apparently do what the f*** you like doesn't mean what I thought it did."

3. If you were immortal, what age would you choose to stop ageing at and why?

35 to 40. I would want to still be about 155 to 160 pounds.

4. What sport would you compete in, if you were in the Olympics?

Ha!!! Team sport? Not a cat in hell's chance. Athletics? Replace cat with snowball. In fact, anything that requires the least bit of exertion is out. I'm a pretty good shot, but you have to lie down, kneel, stand up. What did I say about exertion? If there is anything left I'm sure it would bore the pants off me. I don't believe they allow pantsless feline mustelids in the Olympics, so no, I'm not doing this one.

5. If you had to go back in time to live the rest of your life where/when would you go?

The 1880s right here in New Mexico. Plenty of opportunities for someone with the right skills to find a niche. Or the Renaissance. Same reason. Who knows, maybe DaVinci filled out this same questionnaire.

6. If time and money were no barrier what would you create?

A faster than light drive. I'm sure I could come up with something more immediately beneficial, but for now I have fixated on FTL.

7. Have you ever completed anything on your bucket list?

I live in the mountains. Thank you sweetheart. That was my bucket list.

8. What would be the most surprising scientific discovery imaginable?

Teleportation. Most things we need, like a cure for cancer, are coming. It's just a matter of getting the greedy bastards out of the way. Teleportation, as far as I know, has no way forward.

9. Are you a good witch or a bad witch?

I am totally untrained, therefore I am a bad at it witch.

10. If you had to teach a class on one thing, what would you teach?

I took a class in grades 7 and 8 called Industrial Arts. We learned carpentry, lathe work, welding, a little bit of auto mechanics, all sorts of things to do with your hands. Things that would help you think and then act your way out of a problem. Things to do when you are bored. That is what I would teach.

11. Which band/artist – dead or alive would play at your funeral?

Gary Moore and Django Reinhardt on guitar, Miles Davis on trumpet, Charles Mingus on bass, John Coltrane and Charlie Parker on saxophone, Johann Sebastian Bach on keyboards, Chico Hamilton on drums, and Cleo Laine, Meatloaf, and Francine Reed on vocals. The ultimate supergroup.

Hmm. I just noticed that the vocalists are all alive, the rest are not. Not important, except that the singers will be easier to provide transport for.

12. What book or movie read/seen recently would you recommend and why?

An oldish movie, but definitely a good one, is "As Good As it Gets." That is the film in which Jack Nicholson pays Helen Hunt the ultimate compliment, the one no man will ever top. If that's not enough to get you watching, Ms Hunt has a very fine pair under her wet t-shirt.

I nominate the following victims:
@sultnpapper
@theweaselswife
@bigtom13
All three will, I am sure, produce very interesting posts if I can beat them into submission.

Here are the questions:

1. What 3 meals would you have before heading to the International Space Station?
2. What section of the newspaper would you be?
3. If you were immortal, what age would you choose to stop ageing at and why?
4. What sport would you compete in, if you were in the Olympics?
5. If you had to go back in time to live the rest of your life where/when would you go?
6. If time and money were no barrier what would you create?
7. Have you ever completed anything on your bucket list?
8. What would be the most surprising scientific discovery imaginable?
9. Are you a good witch or a bad witch?
10. If you had to teach a class on one thing, what would you teach?
11. Which band/artist – dead or alive would play at your funeral?
12. What book or movie read/seen recently would you recommend and why?

And here are the rules set by Catweasel (edited):

1. Answer each of the 12 questions.
2. Nominate 3 or more victims.
3. Acknowledge (this rule does that) the originator of these questions, @hobotang. His is the best introduceyourself post I have read, possibly better than mine.
4. Include the questions.
5. Include the rules.
6. Tag your post with #twelvequestions

Trust me, I'm a doctor.
