Pointlessly Modified Bridgekeeper
1. What is the best name you ever gave a pet?
Laszlo - named after Lazlo Hollyfeld (the character in Real Genius, not the band) for those of you that are just tuning in. I actually took the spelling from Laszlo Kovacs whose name I noticed in many an 80s movie credit roll. Cool name.
2. What is your quest?
Uummm....seriously?? Chocolate.
3. What is your favorite roman numeral?
That's easy. IV of course.
Okaaaay, your turn.............GO!!

Banjo and Fiddle! Two tail lacking cats we found outside our apartment yeeeeeeeaaaars ago. We kept them for about a week before giving them to a friend who quickly re-named them Aries and Lillith. :(
Quest: Solid beer
Roman numeral: No doubt VII. 7 is the raddest number ever. I love playing the drums in 7. Whenever a song is boring me I change the time to 7. Listen to "Tethered" on "Leap." That's me in the beginning screaming SEVEN at the top of my lungs. :) Craig Biggio's number is 7 (along w/ my son's baseball number last season). 7 = rad.

More Trivia! Yay!!!!!!! I didn't know that was you and I didn't know you were saying "Seven!" at the beginning of Tethered. And if I recall correctly, it is number 7 on the CD!!!
I can't wait to run right out to the car and listen to Leap today. I'd listen here at work, but my speakers suck, plus if they were any good, coworkers would probably have me lynched....or should I say "sacked"?? ::snort::
So are you saying that your favorite roman numeral is the same as your favorite....um, regular numeral? My favorite regular numeral is 7. But not for any of the same reasons you like it. It has just always been my favorite number.

Yes, if you read the credits on Leap it says: Nuje Blattel - drums, percusson, Rhodes, Hammond B3, kazoo, hand owl, VOCALS.
More trivia. I have the Rhodes and Hammond credit because it is all me on "Two Words: Sound". Like I've said about that song before, you can tell it isn't Ian playing, there's no melody and there's no, uh...good...

(1.) My pets' legal names tend to be on the non-distinctive side while I save the other creative possibilities for their weekly nicknames. The current nickname for the dog is Bootsy Collins. This is a "Best Of" nickname that I'm recycling from a couple of years ago because I feel like it. This should not be interpreted as any kind of commentary about the real Mr. Collins.
(2.) Underwear and Mission furniture.
(3.) Either MCMXLVI or III, but III really only looks good in a serif font.
I await a response which involves many, many exclamation points.
PS: "Regular" = Cardinal

Holy crap! (there's one) You ARE the Queen of Snark.
But, but, but, you just acquired more underwear...I thought you were in your happy place! (there's two)
Yes, "cardinal" was the word I meant to use but didn't care enough to conjure up. I knew that all of the non-snarky commentors wouldn't mind.
I have an idea - why don't you take your roman numeral three and all the rest of your exclamation points (here -> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and make some Mission furniture of your own! (and one more to grow on)

VII : 7 :: Roman : Arabic
1st : 1 :: ordinal : cardinal
I don't mean to be a snoot - really, I don't.
