Which B-Movie Badass Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
I'll shine up my old brown shoes, put on a brand new shirt, get home early from work, if you promise to buy me a drink. I love music of all kinds, especially live, and think spending the night in a bar having liquor poured directly into your mouth while a kickass band is playing is the most fun you can have with all your clothes on. I steal jewels by night and write insidious computer software by day. Any money I don't spend on liquor and music goes to equipping my droogs with the latest in stain-resistant action wear.

My Interests

Loud Music, Karaoke, Liquor, Precious Gems, Obscure Pop Culture References, Photosynthesis

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with a sense of humor who can sing along to Cheap Trick AND Interpol. Bonus points if you like to buy shots and can sing the entire Ziggy Stardust album.If you want to send me a friend request, it's S to the t to the ewart.

Music:

Insert rambling list of favorites, omitting one or two that you, the reader, can feel smug about having on your list.If it's played with passion, I can find something probably find something to like about it. If a band can bring it live, I probably want to have their children or at least buy them liquor.

Movies:

The Thin Man series, Musicals (particularly Fred Astaire), Quentin Tarantino movies, The Princess Bride, Manhunter, Strictly Ballroom, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Big Lebowski

Television:

South Park, Simpsons, The Wire, Lost, The Shield, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Rescue Me, The Office

Books:

I used to read over a hundred books a year, mostly science fiction, fantasy, mysteries, the odd John Steinbeck. Now I go to bars and see live music and talk about how I don't have time to read more than a few books a year.

Heroes:

Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison
