1. You tell someone that you "really like the blue ones." To what are you referring, and who are you talking to?
M&Ms or balls.
those are the only things I can think of that I particularly like when they're blue.
definitely not jeans (I don't own any blue ones) or popsicles (I only like green and orange).
2. The world is flooding, and you can take three authors on your little raft to replenish the world's supply of great literature, using their own works. Who do you take with you?
since it didn't say "living or dead", I'll assume only living authors are an option.
so, rather than picking the three living writers whose work I like best or whose work I think *is* best (which is a different thing from what I like), I'm going to work with the question's premise and pick three living writers whose work I feel would shape the direction of our new civilization in the direction I would most want.
and, keeping in mind that this is off the top of my head and that I'm excluding people I know, those would probably be: ursula leguin (to create our new culture's mythology, gender roles and social mores), thomas pynchon (to create and oversee our postal service), and david foster wallace (to be our court historian). or maybe leonard cohen instead of DFW.
3. What is your favorite dish involving chicken. If you do not eat chicken, subsititute chicken with spinach.
to eat: KFC extra crispy, shamefully enough
to watch: the Volcano Hen (a dish at my favorite thai restaurant). it's a flaming chicken in a giant champagne glass. not exactly delicious, but not bad for a novelty food.
4. You're in a dirty, stinky alley. It's quiet, except for the distant sounds of traffic. You look at your hands, and there's blood on them! Why?
henry kissinger just ejaculated it at me out of his fingertips.
5. Clowns: Satan's minions or comedic dolts?
I'm going to go with "neither" on this one. I think they serve a valuable psychosocial purpose, providing apotropaic release of pity and fear for boys and girls of all ages. oh yeah, and balloon animals.
on the other hand, I find the phrase "clown college" utterly dreadful. it's one of three phrases (the other two being "tantric sex" and any variation on "politically correct") that make me virtually incapable of ever taking the speaker seriously again.

1. Do you still have those vinyl pants in which Jeremy M. could see his future?
no, I upgraded to leather and gave the vinyl to my friend doug. he particularly enjoys farting in them because you can feel the vibrations all over. (perhaps that allows him to see the future too)
2. What did he see, anyway?
I know what's in jeremy's future, but he swore me to secrecy. I'll simply say that he very recently made a very big decision.
3. Are you still involved at processing.net?
nope, but as far as I know they're still hanging in there. I think the rise of other credit card processing options like paypal probably has hurt them a bit, but being a very small shop with some special niche offerings, they've probably weathered it a lot better than some of their competitors and will probably end up ahead of the game in the long run.
4. Will you eventually make it to Cambodia?
not right away. I'm settled back in seattle until at least October.
but probably one of these days. how soon depends in part on what direction civil liberties take over the next year or two.
5. Ever since i laced you up for "Midsummer Night's Dream" at HOTT.BOB, have you considered getting your very own corset?
yes, I've thought about it often. not only as a fetish item, but also to improve my posture and keep me from looking so damned fat. but in order to get a good one, I'm going to need to get it custom made, and I have had higher budgetary priorities.
it's on my list of "things I don't particularly need but would like to have", but about two-thirds of the way down: somewhere after cable internet connection, banjo, and PhD in classics...somewhere before sailboat, infared night vision goggles, and pet duck.

in order to get a good one, I'm going to need to get [a corset] custom made
One Wilde Knight, despite the silly name, treated me well. I'm sure you know, but you get what you pay for. I have a vintage Maidenform corset that was off-the-rack, and it just doesn't fit right (recent weight loss not a factor).
