Biking, hockey, football, baseball, softball, movies, music, sex, beer, Guinness, beer, the finest single-malt scotch whiskey(there can be only one, highlander!), bowling, darts, pool, pinball, board games, and poker. The people who impress me are the ones who tell me a long, rambling story that ends with "and that's how I got [fill in the blank] tattoed on my ass."
People I can joke with endlessly who'll have a sense of humor about it. People who are Amish. People who don't watch Friends. People who drink. People who smoke. People who stay out too late. People who get up too early. People who can have an intelligent conversation while bowling and drinking simultaneously. Lesbians who want to rub my bald head. People who can appreciate a man in a kilt. Good people. Bad people. People who will entertain me.

Simpsons, the Young Ones, Simpsons, er, and the Simpsons. Did I mention the Simpsons?
I read an absurd amount of Kurt Vonnegut books, frequently reading each one several times. My all time favorite is Slapstick. I read Douglas Adams the same way. I tend to like things that are in English, but that hasn't stopped me from trying other things as well.
Johnny Cash, John Lennon, Herb Brooks, Joe Strummer, Mark Sandman, Wendell Young, Kirby Puckett, and my dad. How could I forget LEEROY JENKINS!
