This next installment of the 500 Question series is a set of questions written by me for good friend Kayla Laursen.  Kayla and I of course go back to 2002 when I met her at Valleyfair.  Nowadays, she'd quite smitten with Vincent Arp while working at Buffalo Wild Wings in Chanhassen (where I get nice discounts on my breaks!)

2. How long before you get your own apartment?  Well actually,  it has been discussed within the recent months.  Just in the saving process for now.  Any donations welcome!

3. Which friends of yours would you most want to set me up with?  Debbie.  She’s a real nice girl from my school.  I could see it.

6. How many days a week do you wake up and dread getting out of bed?  Once every 4 months.

7. Do you have a really bad neighbor?  There are actually too many stories to name,  but I will say that the cops frequent my neighborhood.  Anything from drug deals to domestic assaults,  we’ve had it all.

48. Do you think anyone else could have played the role of Mr. Belding?  I don’t think SBTB would have been lucky if they followed in “Full House’s”  footsteps and recast the main character after the pilot episode was filmed.  They got it right the first time.  Dennis Haskins,  way to go!

49. Have you ever eaten snow?  Every time there is a fresh snowfall.  Yum.

50. Has The Simpsons lost its edge?  I just found out that they signed up for Seasons 18 and 19!  I think it is a funny show,  but there is a rare chance I will sit down to watch an episode.  I used to all of the time,  what does that tell you?

460. Jason?  We will be watching him in a sequined blue spandex ensemble,  soaring high above the crowd,  doing multiple flips and twists,  as he flies from trapeze to trapeze in the Ringling Brother’s Circus.

461.

464. Do you think I should keep having new, more obscure featured friends, or start over and do “featured friends revisited?”  If you had a friends revisited,  you could put a “before and after”  picture next to their update.  I don’t think it would bomb,  yet maybe you should wait about 5 years,  you’ll have more interesting reports.

465. How did you come up with your e-mail address ID of ziggybuddy?  First of all,  I called everybody “buddy”  in 5th grade and Ziggy happened to be my favorite comic at the time.  I put the two together and it just happened to work.

472. If Jason and I got the 912 North Egan tattoos, would you consider taking one of the words and we’d all three have them?  Well,  I couldn’t get “Egan”  because it is the last name of a boy that was in my 7th grade English class.  I wouldn’t want to get “North”  because then people would think I was in a gang.  I guess I would be stuck with “912”  and I would consider having that tattooed on the inside of my left wrist.

473. You’re the coach of the Timberwolves.  What do you say to them before the biggest game of the season?  “Think like Dunkin Donuts and dunk some balls!”

474. Would Nick have had a good time at Brothers dancing with us and Walshie?  Of course.  I would have kept on pushing him into Kimz Webb and we all know he would have liked that.

483. Tell us about your vandalism behind 569 with Kimz Webb.  It was actually with Amy Adelmann.  There was a new rule the year before that no one could write their names with permanent marker on the walls and they also painted over all the previous names with black paint.  Amy and I thought it would be a good idea to write our names over the paint with chalk.  An hour or so later I get a call from Ron over the radio asking me to meet him in the warehouse.  I’m assuming to be getting the inventory sheets and I get back there and I see an extrememly angered Ron asking me “What the he*l is that?”  and points to our names.  Before I could answer,  he started in again with “You need to wipe all that sh*t off the walls right now and I never want to see anything like that on there again!”  and stormed off.  All I had to do was walk over to the wall and take my hand to the words and wipe.  No big deal.

488. Which Family Matters character would you most like to have be a real person?  Waldo.

489. If Full House was real, what would Danny Tanner be doing right now?  He would just have gotten home from work on “Wake Up,  San Francisco”  and started dinner in a crock pot.  He would then be waxing the kitchen floor and arranging couch cushions in the living room.  And for him every day is laundry day,  so he would also have a load in the wash.

490. If there was 10 seconds to play in a basketball game and your team was losing by 6, would you keep fouling or just let the clock run out?  I would actually just toss the ball from where I was standing and make a money shot after the buzzer went off,  cause I’m just that good at basketball.

491. How many days a year do you clean your room from top to bottom?  0.  I do clean every so often,  but never do I have the time to clean from top to bottom.

492. Did you ever get a chance to see Kirby Puckett play in person?  At least twice.  Once,  when I was a baby in a carrier and another when I was 4 with pigtails and was bouncing in the stands loving “Rallying the Twins.”

493. What is a naughty remark you made to a bus driver?  When I yelled at my first grade bus driver from the very back of the bus to “Hurry up and get me home!”  because I didn’t like the boring bus ride.

494. If a local school bus agreed to pick you up and take you to work every day with all the kids on it, would you accept?  I would love to.  Not waste my own gas?  Heck yes!

495. Would you ever put sugar in someone’s gas tank?  No,  but I would maybe consider what the Nielsen Twins did.  Put tennis balls in the muffler in an attempted move to blow up a car.  Oh how that makes me laugh every time.  They were such sweet girls.

496. Would you ever put windshield wiper fluid in someone’s coffee as a funny practical joke?  No,  but maybe some exlax.

497. If you could play matchmaker with Patrick, who would some of the nominee be?  Oh definitely Clarissa from my acting class.  She is so cute and nice.  Just an all around sweet girl.  If he’s interested,  let me know.  She’s got brown hair…

498. Is the Loch Ness Monster an old wives’ tale?  No,  she’s swimming around out there somewhere I’m sure.

499. Do you want me to keep asking questions till 1000?  Actually,  I thought about asking you that many,  just to see what you’d do.

500. What was your favorite question?  The one about my vandalism.  I laughed while typing.
