All about me. Run! Run!
Someone posted a quiz at Hatrack to find out more about each of the members. I figure anyone asking for that deserves what they get, so here's my responses.
Name? Chris Bridges
Age? As old as the mayfly and as young as the hills, but I still get carded.
Height? Some.
Weight? 10 stone. Big stones.

Any Pets? Legion.
If So What Are They? Freaking annoying.

Best Love Quote? I can't narrow it down past three:
"It is as absurd to say that a man can't love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music."
– Honore de Balzac
"Love is like a snowmobile flying over the frozen tundra that suddenly flips, pinning you underneath. At night the ice weasles come."
– Matt Groening
Hammer: Oh, I'm not myself tonight. I don't know who I am. One false move and I'm yours. I love you. I love you anyhow.
Mrs. Potter: I don't think you'd love me if I were poor.
Hammer: I might, but I'd keep my mouth shut.
Groucho Marx and Margaret Dumont

Do Drugs? Sure! Tylenol, Advil, caffeine, Sudafed, crank, and chocolate… but only socially.
Skinny Dip? I don't think "skinny" would begin to describe it.
Greatest Fear? Well, my biggest fear, like many people, is accidentally disemboweling myself with a Q-tip. But my greatest fear is being hunted down across four states by all the members of Congress and a marching band so they can string me up naked and cold in front of the Museum of Modern Art in New York so that the Million Mother March can all pass by and mock me. Not very likely, but you have to admit, it's great.
Chocolate or Vanilla? By Supreme Court order, I am not allowed to prefer one over the other.

Saddest Dream? That poor rabbit. He's never going to get the Trix, is he?
Dream You Most Wish Would Come True? While I have hopes for my dream of world peace, my dream of brotherhood and understanding between all peoples, races, and nationalities, I think I'd have to go with the one about the breasts.
Think You're Attractive? Very! I attract lint, dust, wrinkles, and, for some reason, antelopes.
Shoplifted? Yes, if by "shoplifted" you mean "cunningly crafted an intricate scheme using dogs, explosives, and advanced laser technology to heist untold riches without leaving a trace." That poor 7-11 never saw it coming.
Been Caught "Doing Something"? Pretty much constantly. Otherwise I'd be, you know, dead.
Like Thunderstorms? Not romantically, but I guess they're all right.
Favorite Shoes? My 27 1/2 W clown college specials, perfect for linedancing and stock car driving.
Favorite Quote?
"I don't think I'm gay. I don't think I'm straight. I just think I'm slutty. Where's my parade?"
