Thirty Days Of Dougie III – Day 12: Long Ass Survey Tyme
December 3, 2013

So this is Day 12 of the “Thirty Days” and I’m taking the easy way out by doing a survey. But I’m trying to play catch-up and when I finish this, I will be caught up so don’t be a hater. And besides, this is one that I’ve never done before (as near as I can remember) so you may learn something new about me? And if you want to indulge and do this survey too, even better. Just please tag me in it so I can read your answers. It’s long (fifty questions) and most of the answers require more than a word or two so I guess I’d better get started if I’m going to just do it. So let’s do this…

What was your favorite food when you were a child? Loved hot dogs, chicken, ketchup and squash. No that’s not a typo. Loved the stuff so much as a child, I started to turn yellow. Can’t stand it now though. Go figure.

What’s the #1 most played song on your iPod? I don’t have an iPod so I can’t really answer that. My most played songs from YouTube are “Outlaw You” by Shooter Jennings, “Same Love” by Macklemore and anything I can find by Alice Cooper or Johnny Cash.

What is one of your favorite quotes? “I’m not even supposed to be here today”, by Dante in the movie “Clerks”.

If you could throw any kind of party, what would it be like and what would it be for? I’d like to one day have a “reunion party” for all of us that used to hang around and party at Showtime Pizza, The Mans, Wakana’s and St. Andrews. Essentially it would be a “Stoney Crew Reunion” of the coolest, most awesome (and craziest) people I’ve ever had as part of my life. And I would also include my Wilmington friends, the “Montclair Maffia” folks (you know who you are) and my Dairy Mart family too. And of course, my current friends and family. It would be a cook-out / party for the ages…

If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to? Vincent or Vince..

If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would you meet? My “Big Six” for this are Alice Cooper, Harley Race, James Dean, Sal Mineo, Richard Nixon and Edgar Allen Poe.

What’s the best/worst gift you’ve ever given/received? I don’t know really. The worst I’ve ever received was a coupon for a free quart of egg nog (really). The best was a car from my dad (my first car – a 1978 Toyota Corolla).
