I have to ask:
Are you a bad hombre or a nasty woman?

Has anyone ever explained the use of quadratic equations in daily life and why we were forced to learn them in Algebra II?
In light of yesterday’s milepost with the Mustang…
What’s the most mileage you’ve put on a car over its lifetime?
For me, no doubt it’s my 1988 Pontiac 6000 LE wagon that got to 248,000 miles before the odometer quit working three years ago. I bought the car with about 5,400 miles on it, so all the rest are mine. Before that I had a 1974 Jeep Wagoneer that hit 125,000 before I sold it, but it already had over 50,000 miles on it when I bought it.
Swiped from Sirens:
You have a choice between super powers: invisibility or flying. Which do you choose?
For me, no contest: flying.
More like a “fill in the blank.”
Nothing makes me feel older than…
For me, being older than the President of the United States. Oh, and having the friend who originally posted this being born the month I graduated from college.
From Julie (that she says she cribbed from another site):
The CIA used music to torture people. What music would you consider torture?
I listen to classical music all day, and I’ve grown to dislike music from the baroque era with screechy violins. If they are playing instruments with catgut strings, it sounds as if the cats were still attached to them. It sets my teeth on edge.
Apropos of this story from Saturday:
Can you drive a stick shift? If so, who taught you?
Was it anything like what these kids went through?
Via commenter Julie:
In honor of Halloween: What is the scariest book you’ve read or movie you’ve seen?
Me: Darby O’Gill and the Little People. Freaked me out in 1959 and still does, but not for the same reason as it did when I was seven. (Sean Connery singing!?)
We all need a good one now and then.
When was the last time you really laughed out loud?
For me, last Sunday watching a re-run of Modern Family. I’d never seen the show before.
Julie says I have never asked this one:
What’s your favorite song?
For me there are so many that it’s tough to choose, but if pressed, I’d say Nether Lands by Dan Fogelberg. At least that’s the one that popped into my mind when Julie suggested the question.
Goooooooooooooooooal!
Are you watching the World Cup?
Miami, being the cultural melting pot of people from places where soccer is a national obsession and team spirit is strong, is awash with people wearing team colors and cars with national flags flying from antennas in support of their team. Everywhere you go — restaurants, barber shops, any place with cable TV — the games are on, so it’s unavoidable. But I’m not going out of my way to watch it.
Haven’t done this for a while, and with the summer driving season upon us, I’d be interested to know what gas is going for in your part of the world.
This morning I paid $3.59 at the Marathon on the corner of SW 168th Street and Old Cutler Road in suburban Miami. On the way in to the office I saw it going for $3.69 at a station on US 1, and yesterday morning a Chevron in South Miami had regular for $3.95. That station seems to be the highest priced place in town; it is always forty to fifty cents higher than every other station in the vicinity. But there are always cars at the pumps, so it must not bother either the buyer or the seller.
Speaking of driving, I might as well turn this into a Question of the Day, too:
What are you currently driving… if you drive?
Me: a 2007 Mustang convertible, and a 1988 Pontiac 6000 LE Safari station wagon on weekends or to car shows.
I think I’ve asked this before, but it’s been a very long time.
How did you find Bark Bark Woof Woof?
Also, if you’re a lurker — someone who reads the blog but never leaves a comment — please feel free to say hi.
HT to Melissa.
C’mon, you can tell us.
What’s the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you?
Would you like a typewritten list?
HT to Julie.
I think I’ve done this one before but it’s good for a revival.
What’s your home page on your computer?
Gee, take a wild guess.
Check out your the closet…
What is the oldest piece of clothing you own that you still wear?
I have a wool overshirt that I got on my NOLS backpacking expedition in 1974. It still fits, and when it gets chilly here in Florida, it’s nice to wear.
Sweet dreams…
Are you a restless or immobile sleeper? When you get up in the morning, does your bed look like a tornado hit it or barely slept in?
Mostly immobile here. Or so I’m told…
HT to Julie.
Never too early to think about lunch or dinner. Via Julie:
What are your favorite pizza toppings?
Bonus: Thick or thin crust?
Pepperoni/thin here.
From the Faithful Correspondent:
Where do you read?
I do a lot of it here at the computer, but second place is the chair in the living room where I read the Sunday paper and magazines. Third is in bed, but I can only read a page or two before Morpheus takes over. After that is the patio when the weather is nice and the sun isn’t too brutal.
