Favorite food?

Ten favorite movies?

When did you get into Magic cards and who/how did you get involved?

Are we (America) going into a depression?

Where do you see the future of America's economy and general state heading and what could be done, in your opinion, to better it?

Only the best,
Jesse

What is the origin of your handle? It makes me think of pancakes.

Sorry for the quintuple post here... but here goes.

-King crab legs with a dish of melted butter that has a pinch of salt and garlic powder in it… I will eat 47 pounds of this in one setting if there were to be that much of it! =)

-RIGHT NOW-ISH: Godfather 1, 2; Goodfellas; Pulp Fiction; The Stoned Age; Rocky Horror Picture Show; Terminator 2; Loose Change; Mallrats; Exit Through the Gift Shop; BONUS = Party Monster (both the doc and the ficticious movie)

-I believe it was around 1997 (I was age 13) when I got into MTG from having watch my friends play it/talk about it for about 2 years. They kept badgering me to buy some cards so I could play and trade. I went to the local shop and bought a 4th Starter and a pack of Weatherlight. I got a Balance and a Maraxus of Keld, both of which were promptly ripped off of me by my friend Dave. As for me getting anyone else involved, just my wife who plays with me like once every couple years… no one listens to me when I suggest something. Heh.

-We’ve already created an orchestrated one. Our Government is like a Mafia.

-I truly believe it’s just a game of the shadow governments. They play the world like a convoluted chessboard and they shall “lead” us wherever they will.

- AN Mountain

- Colorless (or Non-basic Land =)

-The Snake Basket pre-con theme decks I bought for mad-cheap that were loaded with the Sensei’s Top =)

-Casual, havin’ some drinks, music playin’, good fun-loving tabletop MTG played at my house or yours!

-I think they should do way more “loot” promotions. They should do like sports cards did and add seriously valuable, old cards in packs all the time! I bet they would sell tons more boosters that way. I could get into this and talk your ear off about this and other ideas for hours…

- It has nothing to do with pancakes =) Actually, it was the name of a sort of clubhouse that my best friend had at his house growing up and in high-school. We named it that because of a quote from the movie “KIDS” where this party-animal guy says “It’s a flop house, yo!” about his apartment. So longer story short, we partied there like all the time and it was sort of this lawless place out in the country where random people would congregate and… party. We had some seriously wild times there! We called it the Flop Haüs. So yeah… that’s basically it. It was definitely a super-crazy cool/fun place to be! The whole inside was covered in marker/spray-paint artwork and we had power and a loud stereo up there…. Plenty of other cool stuff too =) Such a bohemian place to be, it was just awesome!

- Let go of petty anger and live by the Karma rule.

- I crashed my wife’s newish car when I was drunk. 5-6 years ago. I never drink and drive now. I almost ruined my marriage and killed myself at the same time. It was the stupidest thing I’ve ever done and there’s a lot more to the story, but I learned from that incident IMMENSELY!

- It’s a dream of mine to be able to make a living by owning a restaurant. I live in a small little town that could use a good one and I would work my arse off to have an awesome place. My wife has worked in that industry before (for quite a while) so her and I have tons of ideas and ambition. We’ve seen up-close the unraveling of several prominent places and understand what they did wrong.

- Less idiots like Joz and more of Coolio =)

- Finding things that people lose or can’t remember where they are… My wife will ask me where something is and I’m like “It’s in the hall linen closet underneath the 2 green pillowcases and between the two cardboard thingies on the second-to top shelf, on the right side.”

- “Genre” is too broad when it comes to music. -Sort of like asking your fave type of woman…. Down to the personality, etc. I like the whole sphere of music and this could really turn into a full-fledged diatribe here! I’m big into music and I really like something that’s introspective and really makes a person think. Not disposable pop garbage of any genre. So, I’m gonna go cheese ball and be mad generic here and just opt-out with “ROCK”.

- I’m just going to say “The Doors” have been very influential to me. I true fave would probably take me 4 days to think of!

- The cow! They bring me beef jerky and many other tasty meats as well as a plethora of fine dairy products!

- FAST! So I don’t have to taste the Nasty Nate-ness of it!

- Scrambled, fried, hard-boiled w/e . Just not with embryonic ooze cruising over top of it. (Sunny side up).

- I always seem to look at the clock when it’s 11:11 so I just started making a wish each time. I see it all the time! It’s uncanny! Have noticed this phenomenon for years, so I guess that’s like a superstition.

- Always throwin’ the scissors. I think this is in reaction to an impulse. Where I work people are constantly giving the log-distance “2-finger wave” to each other.

- Marty only tells lies!
Mucus on toilet lids =(
Mama offering Texas love!
Maybe Ozzy told Lars?
Maniac orangutans taming lions !?
Maybe Ortiz, Tito Loses?

Do you think Tito has a shot against Rashad?

Do you look back on the UFC 50 - 55 and just look in awe how stacked those fight cards were?

If you could describe the "unstoppable force meets an immovable object" would you use Bigfoot silva's chin or Tito's head?

If none of these questions make sense i feel sorry about the tito reference you used earlier. lol

Backup question.
If there was any one era you could live in(medieval, rennaisance, ice age) what would you pick. Also have to pick where.

edit, forgot half a question and it didn't make sense. silly booze and motl combo

- No, I think/hope Tito gets crushed! I love Tito when he gets crushed and shuts his runny mouth!

- Actually... I started watching UFC when my dad got it on PPV back in the early 90's. We all got into it with UFC 3 ! We then watched the first 2 and then proceeded to watch the next like 3-5 of them then I did not pick it back up until UFC 80 or 81! I thought it just went into oblivion before I was re-introduced by a few co-workers.

So I really cannot comment on the cards you're talking about, bro =(

- Bigfoot by a mile! ... or maybe Emanual Yarbrough =)

- Summer of '99 back in the Flop Haüs =)

Or... more crazily, 1960's California.

EDIT: THANKS GUYS I HAD FUN!

Hope you guys got to know me at least a tiny bit better =)
