Housepets!

Ice hockey

Favorite soup?

Chicken soup. But I only eat the pasta and the liquid itself. I'm a very finicky eater, so chicken soup is also pretty much the only soup I'm willing to eat.

Favourite ice cream flavor?

Chocolate.

Pretty generic but I’m a picky eater so that’s pretty much the only flavor I’ll ever eat

Favorite book from the 1900s? Yes, anytime during the 20th century

Lots, but, "Startide Rising" by David Brin, probably beats out all the others. I love how in-depth it gets about the dolphin characters' culture and thinking, without ever seeming to slow the plot down.

Favourite James Bond movie?

Goldfinger.

Favorite Disney?

Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Favorite required reading from school?

The Great Gatsby. Had to read it a month ago for a high school literature class I’m taking and it was really good- makes you wonder what else Fitzgerald could’ve written if he hadn’t died (relatively) young.

Favorite book in general?

It's a tie between One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez and The Baron's Sons by Mór Jókai. Both were required to read in school and I really enjoyed them. The latter one is disliked by most students because of the length and the detailed descriptions and storytelling that Jókai used in his works.

Favorite movie that is considered to be bad by most people?

Hard to choose, but I'm gonna go with two here: Alone In The Dark (Uwe Boll) and Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

Favorite movie that you feel is overlooked?

Steve Martin's 1992 movie, Leap of Faith.

favorite salad dressing?

Honey Mustard or Thousand Island

Favorite non-alcoholic hot drink?

Coffee. I drink too much of it - old army habit.

Favorite classical musician?

Well when I went to the Prague philharmonic a few years ago, the conductor there was literally leaping all over the stage, you could really tell how much he loved the music that was being played. He wasn't playing any instrument, but I still think he was the standout performer of any classical performance I've seen. Such infectious enthusiasm.
....if you also want to know my favourite classical composer, that would probably be Tchaikovsky or Bach. The Nutcracker Suite is some of my favourite Christmas music.

The Eagles or Lynyrd Skynyrd

Pecan Pie

Favorite winter Olympic Sport (so far, at least)?

Ice hockey, overall.

Favorite pie?

Tourtiere with any kind of gravy
Or pumpkin pie with whipped cream if it's a dessert

Favourite bagel?

Dunkin' Donuts everything seed with veggie cream cheese. But no more than three a year at my age. Toooooooo many calories in one meal.

Favorite pasta sauce?

Fra Diavolo or Olio y Aglio

Favorite sandwich? (The food not the HP characters)

Mayo, Bologna, Cheese, and Horseraddish mustard sandwich

Favorite Oreo cookie?

Just the regular ones.

Because they’re one of the few I’ve actually tried.

Favorite song from a genre you don’t listen to much?

"North Country" by Bobby Dylan. Never was a fan but I like this one, a classic "hey-turn-the-radio-up" for me.

Well, it's "President's Day" here in the USA. Favorite obscure President? (Any Martin Van Buren fans out there? Chester Allen Arthur?)

Gerald Ford, I guess he isn’t too obscure, because some people are still alive who were when he was president.
