50

Authoring and selling a travel guidebook on the internet; accounting (my wife's business); computer consultant.

>7. Gender? Male.

> Survivor questions

>9. List the contestant(s) from
>SurvivorII that you admire the
>most?

Rodger as a person. Tina as a public manipulator - she played just like Rich, except she lied and betrayed, yet she's convinced everyone she didn't play like Rich and was loyal. Colby for his all-round skills, until that bonehead play at the end.

>10. Now the one(s) you
>admire the least?

Jerri - in various post-show appearances, she proved that her image was indeed accurate, not just editing. Lis - getting by on lots of looks and childishness and no brains.

>11. If you were to
>make the show, what would
>your strategy be?

Decide if I have a chance. If not, get kicked out quickly and enjoy six weeks all expenses paid in a luxury resort. If I do have a chance, lay low, play dumb and don't be a threat. Be a follower, not a leader and stay on the strongest bandwagon. Then pull a fast one at the end. Of course, with the strategy exposed to the competitors, what good is it now?

>12. Cite an example where
>you have been ruthless?

Never in real life. Always in games, within the rules.

>13. What special skill(s) would
>you bring to your tribe?

World travel has made me highly adaptable and accepting of local conditions. Although I've lived in the same city all my life, I'm almost instantly at home anywhere and everywhere. Even after months of travel, I've never felt homesick.

Too embarrased to tell you.

Yeah, back around age 3 or 4. Actually kinda nice at first.

>16. Favorite Food?

Crab; any shellfish; almost anything I've cooked myself.

>17. Poster on the board

Don't know. I read messages for content and pay no attention to who posted them.

Easy: Animal House.

>19. Favorite book?

I can read almost anything and enjoy it.

>20. Would you sleep with
>Shakes the clown for a

My wife would not approve. Neither would I. Shakes would definitely not approve.

>21. List five items you
>would like to bring as
>a luxury item?

Any books;
crossword puzzles;
my subscriptions to National Geographic, Discover, Fortune; playing cards;
if you show me where the electrical plugs are, a CD player with my Beethoven and Led Zeppelin CDs.
