OK, here's the deal. I'll be a good sport and answer this, but I'm BREAKING THE CHAIN -- I'm not inflicting this on anyone else. If anyone reads this and wants to answer the questions on your blog -- have at it. Otherwise ...

I don't know if I'm tempting the old chain letter curse -- I could end up like that unfortunate Army major in the Phillippines and end up with monkey demons in my pantry, chemtrails in my skies and a bad case of anal warts -- but what the hell. The Bozo Buck stops here, as a great man said.
