[ImIdaho]

2. When you walk past mirrors or large windows, what's the first thing you check in your reflection? The gunt.

3. Which superhero is your least favorite? I'm not really into Aquaman

[Jack]

1. What have you thrown away that you probably could have had repaired?
A 60s Harmony bass amp that matched my bass. It's only virtue was the way it looked.

2. When you walk past mirrors or large windows, what's the first thing you check in your reflection?
A quick once over to see if my hair is fucked up or I have any obvious food stains on my shirt. I'm a total slob but I can never understand why.

3. Which superhero is your least favorite?
Spiderman. His life is a pathetic soap opera. The only superheros I ever liked were the ones drawn by Jack Kirby. In movies? I guess I'm too old for most comics made into movies. I require interesting dialog, not robots throwing cars. Iron Man had some of that.

4. Do you freak out about the little things or the big things?
I don't really freak out but I get depressed by the big things...like the miserable trajectory of my life and the fact that I have to go to work on Fridays.

5. Plans for the weekend?
Freak out about the little things...try to get out and hear a band.

My hair.

3. Which superhero is your least favorite?
Peter Cetera

4. Do you freak out about the little things or the big things?
The little things. Must be the Virgo that I am.

5. Plans for the weekend?
Dinner with girlfriends tonight. Driving up to a B&B in Ogunquit for several days for 3 r's (recreation, romance, and relaxation) early tomorrow morning.

[benhamean]

1. What have you thrown away that you probably could have had repaired?
Nothing. I at least TRY to repair everything before throwing it away. My best triumphant fixer moment was taking the door lock tumbler out of my 72 Riviera, taking it apart, figuring it out, and fixing that fucker with a little piece of metal I snipped off a tin can. I've also 'fixed' 3 Kahler tremolos with paper clips.
If I can't fix them, then I happily throw things away without guilt.

2. When you walk past mirrors or large windows, what's the first thing you check in your reflection?
I'm always amazed at how much white hair I'm getting

Superman

I don't freak. Life is too short.

5. Plans for the weekend?
Tonight- German restaurant with wife and son- topnotch Teutonic Ales in liter steins...
Rest of weekend- drink beer by pool, go to the dump, watch a movie. It hasn't rained here for about a month, so the grass doesn't need mowing

[Mark VI]

all of this is awesome, most of all the not cutting the grass part.

[benhamean]

all of this is awesome, most of all the not cutting the grass part.

I'd happily mow the grass 3 times, if I got to go to Motorhead!

It's actually too damn dry down here- the yard is brown and crunchy...

4. Do you freak out about the little things or the big things?

5. Plans for the weekend?

1. Probably nothing, at least nothing that it would make financial sense to spend the money having repaired (as opposed to buying a new one at a good price).

2. My hair - it doesn't behave very well

3. I have no strong feelings about superheros one way or the other

4. The little things, absolutely

5. Possible movie with friend tonight, work tomorrow, dinner/local fair with friend tomorrow night, not sure Sunday

[woodymq]

1. What have you thrown away that you probably could have had repaired?
I generally try to repair everything that's repairable before throw it out. Then I let it sit around until it's so out of date that there are no more replacement parts. Or I try to fix it myself and f it up so bad that it has to be chucked

2. When you walk past mirrors or large windows, what's the first thing you check in your reflection?
In this order: my posture, my gut, my hair.

3. Which superhero is your least favorite?
The Green Lantern. Why? You put on a ring and it gives you powers. The person wearing it is an afterthought.

4. Do you freak out about the little things or the big things?
big things. Like: "Is the earth still spinning?"

5. Plans for the weekend?
Taking it easy tonight. Installing a new closet system and helping a friend set up for an art show tomorrow. My friend Steve is playing at the Savant Project (1625 Tremont St) on Saturday night.
