- What were some of your scariest vehicular experiences, either behind the wheel or as a passenger?
The frost after the Blizzard of ’96 left the roads in a treacherous condition. I was driving in my old 71 Benz (dubbed Ugly) up towards Cypress Avenue in Brooklyn. Anyone who knows the area would tell you that it’s dark, hilly and just not safe to drive in treacherous weather conditions. Driving along I noticed a sheen on the ground and realized (with no small horror) that the road was covered in ice. Apparently the oncoming realized the same but where I had the presence of mind not to touch the brakes, they slammed theirs on. It’s headlights blinded me as the oncoming vehicle careened toward me. In my rearview I saw the guy behind me slam on his brakes—and I sweated, prayed, and coasted past the vehicles (the on comer just missing me) as they slammed into each other and the road-rail. I patted Ugly. I think the snow hit again at one point leaving Ugly buried until May 97. - Are you going anywhere fun this Summer, and does Summer even mean the same to you as it did when you were younger?
Yes, though my definition of fun consists of a laptop and hard thinking. As for my family we’re planning traditional fun for November when it’s not as hot and people are swamped in life. Does anything mean the same now that we’re older? - What was your favorite childhood toy, and how did it influence you over the course of your life?
Jetfire/Skyfire. He made me appreciate that cool designs can be properly ripped off and implemented. - Speaking of childhoods, since I cast a Thundercats movie, Rey cast a Dungeons & Dragons movie, and Wendy made a comment about casting Atlas Shrugged, now it’s your turn. Choose a cartoon, novel or other favorite work of fiction that’s never been made into a movie, and tell us who you’d like to see star in it. If you’re among those who’ve done this exercise before, of course you can do it again with something different.
The Thrawn Trilogy. Christian Bale as Grand Admiral Thrawn. Catherine Zeta Jones as Mara Jade (hair dyed dark red of course). Everyone else is the same. - What
wasis your favorite pizza topping?at A, B, and C respectively?
Plain; the true measure for the proper taste of a slice. - If you could know one thing about MCF that you didn’t, what would it be?
Has he killed again.
This is in response to the Mysterious Cloaked Figure’s Attempt at Traffic.

You mean he’s killed before.
And plain cheese pizza is always good.
I miss Ugly; I loved that car. And I don’t know why you automatically assume four Italian guys on a weekend road trip are disposing of another body. I think I am offended, yes, I think I am.
“attempt at traffic”
lol
Um…”a body”, not “another body”…”A body”.
I gotta go.
Rey, are you going to be blogging again anytime soon? Not that I’m a nag or anything.
LOL! Sorry about that. I was being a HUGE bum this week with blogs and stuff, at points wondering what am I doing with myself. But, that has been amended. :)
