"Deal me in and I'll pick my cards up off the floor. I'll see my lucky coin and raise a pack of lies"

So, I take this vile of poison, and commit myself to my own survey.

the Devil's survey

Which of your parents is the smartest? pa, i see him less and he talks less, he has far less opporunity to look bad.

Who is your least attractive friend? Mike Pratt, but I'll be damned if it seems to matter.

Who was your best sexual partner? Connie Renae, because i had so much passion for her.

Who was your worst sexual partner? ack, well with one girl I didn't perform at all well. It was argued that no sex occured, and that is sort of a group dynamic thing. So, Lauren.

Which of your friends would you have replace you in your marriage if you were to perish? Alex or Josh, as they are both in committed relationships, and seem to do well at them.

Which of your friends would you like to replace in their marriage if they were to perish? I must confess, Josh will be married soon. So, really this is a choice between replacing Sonya, Josh or Alex. I suppose Josh, as I thought Laura was cute forever ago when I saw her wearing the promotional Xavier's School for the Gifted shirt so long ago. I have a thing for redheads. Am I to be skinned?

A one sentence description of the worst lie you've ever told: I was in elementary school, and told Kevin Pfeiffer that I was a extradimensional super hero named Electrobe. I am quite certain it was a lie.

If you were to wed one of your friends' siblings who would it be? Bryn Conley, such a cool family to get added to, and Bryn is the smartest of my friends' siblings that I can think of.

If you were to have sex with one of your friends' siblings who would it be? Likely Bryn Conley, as she is an athlete, and Matt would be less apt to get all riled up about such a thing compared to Josh if I did things with his sister, Kim.

Have you ever flirted with the bad one so your friend could get the good one? I don't hunt in pairs enough, but I could see that happening.

If you had to sever ties with two friends, which ones would you pick? Jnel (as she has likely done so to me already) and I'll be damned if I haven't pretty much severed all ties with anyone I needed to... that looks like a cop out.

Who in your life brings the lies out of you? I do try to live lie free, I tend towards momentary lies. I imagine if I lie to anyone it is me. Those lies might get to others, when I think them true.

Ever had a relationship, and liked a sibling of the person more than the person you were with? yes, Jessica's little sister was nicer than Jessica, and cool in many of the same ways.

If there was a mentally deficient person that was a dead ringer for the celebrity that you found most attractive, would you have sex with them for that reason alone? For that reason alone, no, if I could slide in a second reason for rationalization, probably.

Have you ever intentionally defamed a friend to better your chances with a love/sex interest? 10% intentionality tops. Bryan and I (although mostly kidding) were quite good at pursuing (half-heartedly) the same girl at the same time, with no defamation.

Which of your friends would you least like contributing to the gene pool? Historic, perhaps Dan Pouw. I don't know, we all grow up...

If you could take over the life of another person, whose would it be? Andrew Lack, president of Sony Music. The things I would do.

If I could arrange the previous question, at not cost to you, would you take it? no, my life has more potential (remember what you'd leave behind)

Two people you know that would be a good couple, but don't know it: Ashley Webb and Ashley Lindeman's brother. or. Jeremiah Miles and Sarah Chaar. or. Max and Nina. or. Sarah's friend Rachel and Matt.

~Today went well. Thanks one and all for your parts.
