[serious crayons]

1) Did your folks run you off? No, they tolerated me well into adulthood.

2) Does your job get tiresome? Occasionally sure, but overall I'll have to admit that as jobs go it's pretty pleasant.

3) When it comes to clothes, do you have any resistance? I like clothes, but I'm too stingy to spend huge amounts of money on them.

4) Who do you miss so much you can hardly stand it? My dad, along with a couple of friends I failed to stay in touch with.

5) Is getting together with you like seeing the pope? Not really. I'm usually up for an outing.

6) Have you ever confronted someone for speaking with a slop-bucket mouth? Yes, a number of times, but without much success. Unless you can kick them in the face, they tend not to listen.

7) Have you ever offered to buy a rodeo clown -- or other person you didn't know well -- a drink? Did it work? I haven't really tried it -- too shy.

8 ) As far as you know, is there anything interesting up there in Heaven? I'm not a big believer in Heaven (or, for that matter, Hell).

9) Do you play an instrument? Do you run the sheep off with it, or are you pretty good? I played the piano as a child, but at this point I'd probably run the sheep off.

10) What was your dad right about? Pretty much everything, I realized belatedly.

11) Are you savin for a ranch yourself -- or something else big? I'm not a good saver, so I mainly just hope for the best.

12) Have you fixed up your place real nice? Over the past week or so, yes, but only in hopes of selling it. Before that, no. When I realized my occupation of this place would be temporary, I didn't bother even to unpack some of my paintings.

13) Do you drink coffee, or are you from Texas? Yes, no.

14) Are you pretty good with a can opener -- by which I mean, are you good at getting other people to open up? I like to think so, though it doesn't always work. When it does, I'm enchanted.

15) You been to Mexico? Just for an afternoon, walking across the bridge from El Paso to Juarez (not for the same purpose Jack went there, BTW).

16) Your Uncle Harold is sick, maybe dying. Do you leave your new lover to be at his bedside? Um ... I'm not that close to my uncles.

17) If you were bored on a Saturday night, would you smarten up to go to a church social? I've never been involved in a church.

18) Guard the sheep or eat em? That is, would you break the rules if it seemed important? I have, on a number of  occasions, broken rules I didn't believe in.

19) Could you get by on a couple of high-altitude f*cks a year? Apparently so, but I'd sure rather not.

20) Are you the swearing kind? I do cuss sometimes, but when it comes to swearing in the commitment sense, I think behavior is more important than vows.

I got the hell out of there the second I turned 18.

No. I love clothes. If I really like something, I'll buy it no matter how expensive it is.

4) Who do you miss so much you can hardly stand it?
My Mom. She died in September 2003. I miss her every day.

Probably not. I cuss enough for everybody.

[ednbarby]

1) Did your folks run you off?  In a way.  They insisted I go to college, which was fine by me because I always wanted to go anyway.

2) Does your job get tiresome?  Yes, at times.  But it generally doesn't make my feet hurt or my hair smell like cigarette smoke.

3) When it comes to clothes, do you have any resistance?  Plenty.  Not much of a clothes horse.  Every now and then, though, I've been known to partake in a little Retail Therapy, followed shortly thereafter by Buyer's Remorse.

4) Who do you miss so much you can hardly stand it?  My Mom and my Mother-In-Law.  It really is true that only the good die young.

5) Is getting together with you like seeing the pope?  Kind of.  I'm not much of a church social sort of person and don't do much traveling.

6) Have you ever confronted someone for speaking with a slop-bucket mouth?  I'm usually the one who gets confronted for that.   

7) Have you ever offered to buy a rodeo clown -- or other person you didn't know well -- a drink? Did it work?  Not in order to pick someone up - just being friendly - taking turns buying rounds sort of thing.  And yes, it worked - we both got drunk.

8 ) As far as you know, is there anything interesting up there in Heaven?  As far as I know, there is no Heaven.  But yes, there are plenty of interesting things up in the sky.

13) Do you drink coffee, or are you from Texas?  Yes, and NO.

14) Are you pretty good with a can opener -- by which I mean, are you good at getting other people to open up?  I'm GREAT with a can-opener.  People just seem to want to tell me their life stories.  Guess I'm the sympathetic type.  It takes an industrial-strength one to work on me, though - generally a revelatory movie or some such.

15) You been to Mexico?  Yeah, I been to Mexico.  Is there a problem?  (Cozumel on my honeymoon.)

16) Your Uncle Harold is sick, maybe even dying. Do you leave your new lover to be at his bedside?  Depends on who my new lover is.  If he looks anything like Ennis, HELL no.

17) If you were bored on a Saturday night, would you smarten up to go to a church social?  To be with the Fire and Brimstone crowd?  No, thanks.  I'll stay home and watch old Kojak reruns.

18) Guard the sheep or eat em? That is, would you break the rules if it seemed important?  If the rules were unfair, yes.

19) Could you get by on a couple of high-altitude f*cks a year?  Depends, again, on who I'm f*cking.  Generally, yes.  But if I were desperately in love, no.

6) Have you ever confronted someone for speaking with a slop-bucket mouth? Hell if I knew what slop-bucket means, I´d answer the question...

If you don't know I'll tell you.
Slop is what is fed to pigs. Left over table scaps, rotten milk rancid butter etc. And of course a slop bucket is the receptical that holds the slop. So, if you have a slop bucket mouth, you have a really dirty mouth AKA use a lot of foul language!
