Hooking up electrical things to other electrical things...
a smooth cup of café Americano...

Well, I'd like to meet people who are NICE to me.
AS FOR THE FAMOUS ONES: Gary Rydstrom (sound designer), Ewan McGregor (Stand aside, he's British), Damon Albarn (rock genius), Scrooge McDuck (entrepreneur), Drew Barrymore (clever producer girl), Edgar Hansen (king crab fisherman and deck boss of the Northwestern on Deadliest Catch), Steven Hawking (thinker from outside the box) and Wyle E Coyote (super genius).
You scored as Millennium Falcon (Star Wars). The world around you is at war. Fortunately you know how to handle that with the greatest of ease. You are one of the best at what you do and no one needs to tell you that. Now if only the droids could be quiet for five seconds.

MORE:
Marching bands in parades make me cry with joy.
Almost anything with a Harpsichord.
Banjos have also traditionally made me feel happy.
Like John Lennon, I prefer to say "mouth organ" rather than "harmonica," just to freak people out.
Crickets write the saddest country love songs, and they do it all with their hind legs.
Donovan is just about the coolest singer there ever was.
Damon Albarn is a rock star.
Best concert I ever saw was Blur at Wiltern - Summer 2003
Like Bob Hope said, movies are "my bread and butter."
...as for being a fan:
The Pink Panther (1963) I wish I had a picture to post of when the princess, played by the marvelously gruffly italian-accented Claudia Cardinale, gets smashed on David Niven's champagne whilst lounging on a tiger rug before the fireplace, for that is my favorite scene, but oh well. You'll just have to imagine, remember, or rent it.

I have a lame reputation for reading technical manuals (that's me work).

Also Kermit the Frog because he worked hard, believed the 'show must go on,' loved all his weird friends and drank a lot of coffee. Coffee is not to be underestimated as a major contribution towards his tolerance of those first 3 parts.
You Are Scooter
Brainy and knowledgable, you are the perfect sidekick.
You're always willing to lend a helping hand.
In any big event or party, you're the one who keeps things going.
"15 seconds to showtime!"
The Muppet Personality Test
...my big brother Jimmy , in an evil, soon-to-rule-the-world kind of way.
You may learn his horrible story at www.spectacularspectacular.com
Not to forget, also Mom & Tom, the 'sane' ones.
And my cousin Katie, with her husband Stefan and their little Anneke, for making me want to also jump the pond and turn into a European.
(here's me and anneke on the metro in belgium!)
I am also highly indebted to the genius who invented a way to can Boddingtons with that lovely little explosive pellet for all us thirsty rebels with a dislike for the usual US domestic swill.
Thank you for playing!
