1. What is your favorite food and where is your favorite place to obtain said food?
Chicken burrito from Gordo’s. They steam a slab of cheese on the tortilla before piling all sorts of yummy goodness. I hate all other burritos. The first friend I made when I moved to the Bay Area took me to Gordo’s and I’ve been hooked ever since.
2. Describe the worst date you ever had (and when we had drinks in Vegas that wasn’t a date, so that doesn’t count).
The disgruntled postal worker who was an avid (live) Yanni fan. I wrote about it here. I knew it wouldn’t work out immediately but I need to work on an exit strategy. I should have gotten up when he mentioned the reverse discrimination he experienced from an African American superior in the army. He was pretty douchy, so I imagine he would get shit from anyone, regardless of race. What I didn’t explain in my post was that I got so skeeved out when he told me about his co-worker showering with road kill that I downed an entire beer. When I left the bar I drove half a block to Trader Joe’s, did some shopping and sobered up in my car before driving home.
3. Who are you supporting for President in 2008?
Obama.
4. Being a former Mormon, do you watch the HBO show Big Love?
I sure do. I think it’s a fabulous portrayal of a whole bunch of shit that Mormonism created. I love how the main stream church pretends that they have nothing to do with the polygamist sects. When in reality, the crazy plygs are living a lot closer to the crazy bullshit Joseph Smith pulled out of his ass. (Dum, dum, dum.)
I had a high school Sunday school teacher explain polygamy was necessary because there were more women than men.It was all in the name of protecting of women and children. Though polygamy is no longer practiced here (on earth), it is a vital part of the Mormon afterlife. I was the only kid who blew a gasket in Sunday school. What a bunch of non-questioning douchebags. It’s because of a-holes like them that we ended up with stupid fucking Bush TWICE.
To cheer ourselves up, my friend and I watch Dexter after Big Love. J.S. really fucked up a lot of lives because he couldn’t keep his dick in check. The abuse women and children suffer due to plural marriage really gets me going. (As if you couldn’t tell.)
5. How long do you have to be dating a guy before he can get away with farting in your presence?
I don’t know that there’s a time limit on this. The greater question is: when I can fart (gasp!) in front of him? I know I’m in love when I’m comfortable enough to break it down in front of a new boyfriend…which means it’s probably time to break up and move on to the next guy.
Thanks for playing along, Pants. Swell answers!
LOL, I loved the last one
Those burritos sound amazing. For me, it’s always about having enough cheese on a burrito. Now I have to re-think my dinner menu for tonight.
I’ve been with my husband 10 years and he still won’t fart in front of me. Which on some level is kind of cute. When it slips out, it just cracks me the hell up.
…that Yanni man was a very, very bad date.
I need to try the burrito but I have to get it without beans and rice. I don’t care much for beans or rice.
sushi has a good deal of rice. I just had some this weekend. jury is still out.
i used to be right with you on the big farting question. now, as I am in my 40th year — it doesn’t worry me so much.
i figure, farts happen. …of course not with me. i do not pass wind.
it is true.
yournamehere,
You’re welcome!
Michelle,
Thanks!
Curly Glamour Girlie,
They are incredible. Thinking about it makes me want to get one!
matty,
He sure was a very, very bad date.
I’m sure they’d still be great without the beans and rice.
I used to live with a mysterious friend who never pooped or farted. It was rather strange.
i love that last answer, especially the last line. because ain’t that the truth…
I think question one and question five are intricately related.
I’m sorry about the crazy underwear people.
miss kendra,
It sure is.
Übermilf,
Hell, they’re practically the same question!
I’m sorry about the crazy underwear people too. I watched a couple of Big Love episodes last night with another recovering Mormon…it doesn’t take long for us to start rolling our eyes and yelling.
I knew there was a reason I loved you Pants. We watch Big Love religiously and appreciate your answer to this.
Have you guys seen the “extra” Big Love bits they’ve been showing? There were some pro-polygamy interviewed…it made Sonja (my friend from WA) and I steaming mad. I had previously been directed to Tapestry Against Polygamy, by my sister, in some polygamy research for the rape crisis center. The founder, who escaped from polygamy, helps others escape too.

I gots to check out that site Pants. That’s some crazy shit to champion.
I like the large contingent of Veronica Mars cast members in Big Love.
Man, I wish I had HBO! I’ve seen stuff about that Big Love show and have been intrigued.
I like it that you feel passionately about the J.S. subject. Because it is a scary thing. And I can only imagine what it was like growing up with those kinds of teachings. I think it shows a lot of character that you questioned things in Sunday school. But then, I’m a heathen so….
And OMG! I have heard about Gordo’s!! My brother-in-law lives outside of San Fran (in Santa Rosa)…and if (when) we decide to finally go visit him, he said he’s going to take us there.
Just found your blog through Sofi’s blog and I’m loving it so far! Can’t believe you’re moving to Utah but we definitely DO need more of your type here!
I miss Gordo’s too. I used to go to the one on Solano when I got off work. Then the one on College ave when my kids were born.
