I just posted these in the BNer of the day but, in the spirit of getting to know each other better (beyond just a JB level) I thought they might be interesting for all to answer.
These are the questions that James Lipton asks on "Inside The Actors Studio" which he "borrowed" from Bernard Pivot.

What is your favorite word? YES
What is your least favorite word? NO
What turns you on creatively, spiritually, emotionally? In no particular order, my children, great sights in nature, incredible acheivement by my fellow man, music, a breath taking woman, 12 year old scotch
What turns you off? The incredible lack of civility and respect that has taken over this planet. My parents taught me to always respect others and especially their property.
What is your favorite curse word? In all its various forms and in just about in any possible conjuction I use f*ck (to a fault) It is, however, a very versitile word
What sound or noise do you love? Soft loving talk from my Keets, the sound of my wife sleeping after, um....you know what, silence (I'm a Dad I don't hear it very often) Thunder in the distance. A full baseball stadium
What sound/noise do you hate? The phone, farts, my Keets crying. Anger
What profession? I have been and will one day again be a writer
What profession would you not like? Anything involving fecal matter or animal guts. Anything that involves collecting money from people who are really in financial trouble
God says.....?
I have to agree with BB, "your Keets are fine" but there is more.
"You have not ever intentionally hurt anyone"
"Ya done good" "I have tested you, repeatedly and you have passed"
"That'll do Pig, that'll do"
"Parrotheads and Cub fans to the right"
"No this isn't Iowa, thank me (god)"

I'm always looking for a good opportunity to use the "c" word. The "F" word is still my favorite. Just a little bit more universal and easier to apply to situations. The "c" word is nice to throw out there when really appropriate. (I save it for rare occasions). When paired with "face" it really does the trick.
