Did I really beat Tamara to the question? Wowser...
1. Love Actually.
2. Mint chocolate chip, although a place by us has strawberry chocolate chip that is to die for.
3. Irish Spring.
4. Red Sox - started following them in 86 and just kept on going.
5. Non-abrasive. I suppose that Quilted Northen.
6. ee Cummings, for the only reason that he's TCMH's favorite. I don't do poetry.
7. Alcohol and video games, unless I'm actually sick and then it's Nyquil and video games.
8. While I like falling asleep spooning, I sleep better on my side.
9. A toss up. Sweet - plain M&Ms - savory, potato chips (usually salt and vinegar.)

Movie to watch over and over? Groundhog Day, obviously. Really Casablanca and Animal House and Two for the Road and When Harry Met Sally..., too.

Ice cream flavor? Believe it or not, as a kid it was vanilla, but in htose those we didn't have as many choices. Now I'll go with a variation of coconut almond fudge, or ColdStone's Germanchökolätekäke®.

Bath soap? You're kidding, right Punky? I'm a guy. I don't take baths. And I don't care about what soap I use, as long as it doesn't reek of perfume. Any Dial will do.

Baseball team? Easy. I've been following the NY Yankees for 50 years!

Toilet paper? Usually use Scott's at home.

Poet? Anyone but T.S. Eliot or Gerard Manley Hopkins. No, seriously, I'm not a poetry reader.

Favorite method of self medicating? Smoke this and call me in the morning.

Sleeping position? I've changed over the years from a stomach sleeper to a side/back sleeper.

Snack food? I'm easy. Used to eat potato chips (Wise, then Utz) or pretzels (the fat, salty Dutch kind) or cheese doodles (puffed) but don't much anymore. I guess I'd go with the Utz.

favorite toilet paper - scotts.

favorite poet - andrew dice clay.

favorite method of self medicating - working out, going to the beach, sleeping, cigars, or alcohol. pick one. or all.

favorite sleeping position - on my right side - its the only side i havent broken anything on (yet), so it doesnt hurt to sleep on that side.

favorite snack food - lays kettle cooked sea salt and vinegar chips or cheddar cheese goldfish.

1. Groundhog Day. But it does get repetitive!

2. coconut.

3. Any liquid deodorant soap will do. I do not like bar soap at all.

4. Pirates/Cubs.

5. Charmin Ultra in the Beyond Enormous roll size. But I am attracted to this new toilet paper that has pictures of a yellow lab puppy printed on it.

6. Hmm. Never been much of a poetry fan. Haiku is cool, though.

7. Lemon Martinis, of course!

8. Right side. Eventually I'll be all deformed on that side from years of sleeping that way.

9. Chocolate.

Note to Jeff: Wise potato chips!! Wow! I grew up eating those things in Pittsburgh as a kid. Was always fascinated by the color range on those greasy, misshapen things. Each chip totally naturally included black, brown, yellow and, everybody's favorite, green.

Utz is good, too but not weird-looking enough. Ate those when we lived between Baltimore & D.C.

The Midwest has no interesting potato chips.

Movie: Garden State, Groundhog Day, Princess Bride, Better Off Dead and When Harry Met Sally.

Ice cream: Coconut with hot fudge on top.

Soap: Dove sensitive skin.

Baseball Team: Don't have one.

Toilet Paper: Charmin Ultra

Poet: Shel Silverstein :)

Self Medicating: In my 20s, it used to be sex, alcohol or food ... these days it is sleep, music or movies.

Sleeping Position: My favorite is on my stomach with one arm under the pillow and one leg bent ... but that is not so great for my back ... so now it is on my side or on my back, depending on how tired I am.

Favorite snack food: Doritos or Sun Chips.

Punky, I believe we should seriously take a look at getting you back on your old medications.

Punky,

I'd completely forgotten about Better Off Dead. I LOOOOOOOOVE that movie. It was my first introduction to John Cusack. MMMMMMM.

Side note: I was recently hanging out with a friend of mine from high school who mentioned that during her time in Hollywood (as a script reader) she'd dated John Cusack. I literally levitated off her couch, ended up on the floor and crawled across the room to her, saying, "You've lived my dream! Can I touch you?"

Punky,

No. But I now know two women who have known/worked with him. I'm sure that means we're meant to be together. It's a Sign.

I think so, Sally ... I really do. And I will say as much when I am on the stand in a court of law defending you. :) ;) :)

Thanks, Punky. It's good to know I'll have someone in my corner.

(psssst. where should I send the money?)

You guys are totally nuts.

Been on vacation (nice, thanks), so I'm playhing catch up.

1. Favorite movie to watch over and over? It's very telling that every movie mentioned above is one I can watch over and over again. I do have Gosford Park, Better Off Dead and M.P. and the H.G. among others, on my iPod, so they're with me all the time. I can also watch the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice over and over again. In fact, several Colin Firth movies top my list.

Favorite ice cream flavor? Mmmm, vanilla is always good. Just about any Ben & Jerry's flavor will satisfy my craving (4 servings per container my ass).

Favorite brand of bath soap? Dial for showering, Bath & Body Works for liquid hand soaps.

Favorite baseball team?

Favorite brand of toilet paper? Ugh. Embarassed to admit I actually have a preference for Kleenex brands, inlcuding but not limited to toilet paper, wet wipes and paper towels.

Favorite poet? Robert Frost.

Favorite method of self medicating? Triple Antibiotic annointment.

Favorite sleeping position? I like Punky's . . . on my stomach, one arm under the pillow and one leg slightly hitched up.

Favorite snack food? McDonald's double cheeseburger. There's no way that thing is a meal or entree. Sun chips are good, especially the new gardnet salsa.
