Equivalent of girl scouts, basically, though younger.

1. Do you prefer to go on a bracing hike or sit in front of the telly/computer?
Bracing hike, please (although for outdoor activity I prefer playing a sport, like tennis).

2. What's your favourite font? (Yes I know I'm getting desperate)
I like Georgia. Although at work my go-to for client update docs is Palatino body text with Franklin Gothic Demi headings.

3. What was your favourite stuffed animal when you were a child?
A stuffed duck with a rubber face and teddy-bearish body (received from my father for Easter when I was 2), imaginatively named Duckie.

4. If you could rid the world of one species, what would it be and why?
Rats. Mortally afraid of them. If I see them on subway tracks or in Central Park or anywhere, I become nauseated. There seem to be lots more of them around since the pandemic.

5. What was the first radio station you listened to?
WNEW-FM (102.7)

6. Spiders: kill, ignore or release?
Always killed them, sorry to say; but in recent years I’ve resolved to capture and release them. We only get very small spiders in the apartment. I take them outside to feed on the terrace plants.

Mine was named "Blue Teddybear"
And as you can imagine, it was a blue teddy bear.

But in a casual situation I'd call him Blue

I guess kiddo minds work similarly

You were on a first-name basis, then.

I like these stuffed animal answers. Who'd guess MB was this warm & fuzzy?

What's a casual situation with a stuffed animal? Not a black tie event? A time when you're both trying to wind the relationship down without hurting each other? Relaxing at home instead of chilling at the office? Now I have a vision of a bear in a three-piece suit typing at one of those partitioned-off desks, with a picture of you pinned to the board.

I lost interest in stuffed animals when I realized they weren't useful for masturbation.

1. Do you prefer to go on a bracing hike or sit in front of the telly/computer?

Hiking is brilliant, I don't do nearly enough of it. New Zealand has so many amazing trails and walking tracks.

2. What's your favourite font? (Yes I know I'm getting desperate)

Bellico by Seventh Imperium - it's pretty.

3. What was your favourite stuffed animal when you were a child?

Sammy the snake, I lost my first one so it had to be replaced. Something about a soft snake you could wrap around you is so comforting.

4. If you could rid the world of one species, what would it be and why?

Flies and Wasps

5. What was the first radio station you listened to?

MoreFM - I used to ring them all the time and won lots of prizes.

6. Spiders: kill, ignore or release?


Burn mother farkers...burn. I'm only kidding. I appreciate their existence and know they keep away the white tail spiders.
