Ten Things About Me You Might Already Know If You've Paid Attention To ANY of My Previous Posts:
1. I was an extra in the crowd scene at the very end of the '76 "King Kong" remake.
2. Joe Bob Briggs is a close personal friend of mine.
3. I'm featured in the short documentary "Exit: The Last Jersey Drive-In," about the closing of the last drive-in theater in NJ in Sept. 1991.
4. I published my own sci-fi/horror/fantasy film fanzine, "Let It Bleed," from 1994-97.
5. I attended the second performance of the infamous Broadway flop "Carrie: The Musical," which closed after three performances.
6. I'm notorious for my vocal impersonations of Sam Kinison, Lou Costello, Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice, and The Emperor from "Star Wars."
7. Whenever my adrenaline spikes, I've been know to exhibit amazing strength. Therefore, I've never struck anyone other than in self-defense. The last time this happened, I hospitalized three people who tried to mug me.
8. I have an extensive swordcane collection.
9. My favorite flavor is chocolate. Especially dark chocolate.
10. I've tasted human blood that wasn't my own. Hey, it was the '70s!

Wow, very impressive!  I love Joe Bob Briggs....I remember watching MonsterVision on TNT when I was a youngin.  That was the last hosted horror movie show that was available in my area.

1. I'm a stockbroker.

2, I like ancient history. I'm particularly fond of the Roman Empire and often wonder whether the world would be a better place today had it endured and slowly expanded for another 1000 years.

3. I don't drink, smoke or take drugs. That's not because I'm such a goody-goody. It's because I'm determined to rebel from the norm. It's just another way I alienate myself from society. I guess I just want to feel smugly superior to "everybody else".

4. I don't just dabble. I'm a hardcore collector. DC and other comics, sport and non-sport cards, premium coins, model kits, slot car kits, board games, lunch boxes, sparkle paint sets, milk and pop bottles, etc, etc.

5. I'm fit. I'm a compulsive stair climber and walker. But I love muscle cars, drag racing, stock car racing and slot car racing too.

6. I like a lot of "bad" foods - pizza, fried chicken, hamburgers, corn dogs, BBQ ribs, steak and lobster with drawn butter, fish & chips, breaded shrimp, kugelis, perogies, grilled cheese sandwiches, BLT sandwiches, Lucky Charms, Count Chocula, Trix, Sugar Frosted Flakes, potato chips, Vachon Passion Flakies, chocolate bars, milkshakes, Coke, bubble gum, etc, etc. But remember, I'm still fit!

7. I'm a big fan of Lithuanian basketball, the London Knights, the Western Mustangs, the Edmonton Eskimos and the Chicago Blackhawks, and to a lesser extent, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, Oakland Athletics, Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Mets, New York Jets and the Oakland Raiders. I'm a hated enemy of the Montreal Canadiens, New York Yankees, San Francisco 49ers and the New England Patriots.

8. I love both travelling by train and would like to build an outdoor garden railroad some day.

9. Not only do I like cats, I really like foxes and all members of the weasel family as well.

10. I'm a stereophile with a wonderful sound system. I'm still addicted to vinyl and treasure my high end turntable. My favourite bands include the Rolling Stones, Doors, Animals, Cream, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Who, Kinks, Blondie and garage rock and blues rock in general.

In the Rocky Mountains, Wasatch range, Utah

1. I'm a huge fan of the adults-only cartoon series "Drawn Together."

I won the bubble gum in 1996 so yeah I don't have it anymore but will send a box of rocks that probably have the same consistency if you need some chewing to do.

1. As an elective course in college, I took a class in Anti-Terrorism, taught by a retired CIA operative.
2. I went to a critic's screening in NYC for "Godzilla 1985," and the only other critic there was the NY Daily News' The Phantom of the Movies.
3. At a college critics' screening of "Starman," John Carpenter told me he made the car in "Christine" inherently evil instead of haunted by its former owner, because he didn't want to shoot any scenes of a rotted corpse behind the steering wheel after making "The Fog."
4. At a college critics' screening of "Gung Ho," director Ron Howard told me he wants to make a really scary horror movie one day, but he's afraid he'll screw it up.
5. I still don't understand most of what went on in "Videodrome."
6. The neighborhood I grew up in was a Mafia haven, and is written about in the non-fiction true-crime book "To Drop a Dime."
7. I remember when movies longer than 2 1/2 hours had intermissions. The last one I saw in a theater was Roman Polanski's "Tess."
8. I wrote a six-part series on the Universal Monsters for "Horror Biz" magazine.
9. My mother started collecting Tinker Bell toys at the age of 77.
10. This will be the last list I do in this thread.
