<st1:State><st1:place>New Jersey</st1:place></st1:State> Questions/ Location<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Dodgerchick <o:p></o:p>

WHY DID YOU MOVE TO CINCY?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
MollyMurphy got a promotion for her job with Procter and Gamble. We figured the time was right to do the move before we setteled down and have kids, etc… We plan on being here about 2 years and then moving on.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
St. Cronin<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Ok: What is the worst thing about Cincinatti?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I would say being away from our family and friends. We really don’t know anyone here except the people Molly works with. I have an 8 year old niece and twin 5 year old nephews. Their father commited suicide on Christmas eve 3 years ago so I have been a father figure to them. It is tough not seeing them on a regular basis, especially since they are getting more interested in sports and activities.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
If I were thinking about moving there, what would you tell me?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Don’t come here if you enjoy nightlife. Everything in the actual city of <st1:City><st1:place>Cincinnati</st1:place></st1:City> closes around <st1:time minute="0" hour="17">5:00 PM</st1:time>.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
<st1:City><st1:place>Logan</st1:place></st1:City><o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
If I remember correctly, you used to be a <st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Jersey</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType>Shore</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> guy. Where exactly are we talking about...Belmar/Pt. Pleasant, <st1:City><st1:place>Seaside</st1:place></st1:City>, LBI...?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I was born and raised in Freehold but eventually moved to <st1:place>Point Pleasant</st1:place> after a winter stay in Belmar. I had a great condo in Point right across from a cool bar called The Ark, about 2 minutes from the boardwalk.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
After I met Molly I ended up in Brick with her until we moved to <st1:City><st1:place>Cincinnati</st1:place></st1:City>.

What were your favorite bars/restaurants to hit where you used to live? How about in the other big shore spots in NJ?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I really used to enjoy going to see cover bands at Jenkinsons. No place has cover bands like the <st1:place>Jersey</st1:place> shore. I also like places with good pizza. Some of my favorites are Pete and <st1:City><st1:place>Elda</st1:place></st1:City>’s, The cabin, Olde Silver Tavern and Federicis.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
As far as bars go I like The Ark, The Irish Pub in <st1:City><st1:place>Atlantic City</st1:place></st1:City> is great, Bar A when it isn’t overcrowded. I love Moores Inn in Freehold. The Chapter House in Howell, and Martells Tiki Bar is a good time.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
As far as other “shore “ spots” I hate <st1:City><st1:place>Seaside</st1:place></st1:City> and everything about it. <st1:City><st1:place>Atlantic City</st1:place></st1:City> is fun if you are going to gamble/drink. I’ve only been to Wildwood a few times, I grew up about 15 minutes from Six Flags so going to the boardwalk for rides was never very interesting. I spent a summer on LBI when we were opening the TGI Fridays in Manahawkin. LBI was a good time, we hung out all summer at this dive bar called The Porthole. The only thing that sucked was the traffic going over the bridge.

What do you miss most about <st1:place>Jersey</st1:place>? Least?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Most is without a doubt my family and friends.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Least is the semi-rut I was in. I was bartending, making good money and enjoying what I was doing which may sound odd that I considered it a rut. Moving allowed me to take a chance and do something different. While I have had mixed results I am happy I was able to break away from my comfort zone.

Do Cincy people give you shit about our state? Do you smack them around because of it?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
<st1:City><st1:place>Cincinnati</st1:place></st1:City> is actually one of the few places I have been that the people don’t give me a hard time about <st1:State><st1:place>New Jersey</st1:place></st1:State>.

How much would you pay for a NJ pizzeria/bagel shop combination within a block of your home in Cincy?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
There are some things you can’t put a price on.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Sabotai<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
what better WaWa or 7-11?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Not even close, WaWa is to 7-11 as Target is to KMart

Are there WaWa's in Cincy?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Sadly no and nothing even like it.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Cartman<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Why do you move so often? Are there any boxes that have gone unpacked through several moves?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I am the kind of person who goes where life takes you. I have moved for job oppritunities or others oppritunities. I have moved back to NJ on several occasions because that is where my family is. There is no doubt I’ll eventually end up there. I’ve moved for a girl and moved to get away from a girl. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I do have one box with all my important papers that hasn’t been unpacked in about 6 years, the original box fell apart before my last move so I had to transfer the contents to a newer box.<o:p></o:p>

MollyMurphy<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Out of all the places you have lived, what is your favorite and why?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Anywhere you are.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
OK, also <st1:place><st1:City>Quakertown</st1:City>, <st1:State>PA.</st1:State></st1:place> I made some of the best friends ever living there. It was also after I had broken up with my first fiancé. In my time there I really grew a lot as a person and learned who I was. I also lived close to Saldana and we were able to spend a lot of time together, most notably being able to be at the hospital the day his first child was born.<o:p></o:p>

Poker Questions<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>

HOW GOOD A POKER PLAYER ARE YOU?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Good enough to win more then I lose but the beauty of poker is that no matter how good you are you can always get better.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Barkeep49<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I'd love for you to describe your evolution as a poker player.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Heh. I actually started sneaking into casinos in <st1:City><st1:place>Atlantic City</st1:place></st1:City> when I was 18 ( 14 years ago). The girl I was dating at the time, her stepfather was a semi- high roller down there. He took me down and taught me how to play limit hold-em. I already knew how to play 7 card stud since we used to play at the lunch table in high school. I knew how to hustle people because our neighbor growing up used to play all the time and she taught me at a young age. The transition to hold-em was natural. I played a lot in AC from 18- 23. When I was 23 I was traveling a lot and used to try and find a casino everywhere I would go. That was pretty cool since I got to play at a lot of different places.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
From 23- 27 I didn’t play to much until online poker took hold. I actually got into online poker pretty early in the craze. I played ALOT early on and lost a lot since I was learning the nuances of no limit.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
After I moved to <st1:City><st1:place>Dallas</st1:place></st1:City> my poker skills really got honed. I knew nobody there and traveled a lot. When I was home I would play from the time I got home from work until about <st1:time minute="0" hour="2">2:00 AM</st1:time>. When I traveled I would play on my laptop in the hotel. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I eventually discovered an underground cardroom in <st1:City><st1:place>Dallas</st1:place></st1:City> ( there are no casino’s in <st1:State><st1:place>Texas</st1:place></st1:State>). It was like something straight out of Rounders. The first time I went they grilled me about if I was a cop, what I did for a living, how I heard about them, etc…. The place was in an industrial office park, they had cameras and you had to get buzzed in, etc… Playing there was a great experience because there were very few fish, I really learned a lot by playing against solid players every night.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Eventually they opened a poker room at Winstar Casino in OK just over the TX border. I used to go there and smash the games. I would “work from home” and go to the casino, stopping at Starbucks on the way, jump on my laptop, answer some emails to make it look like I was working then go to the casino.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
When I moved back to NJ I continued to play a lot online, winning a few big touraments, I would also go to <st1:City><st1:place>Atlantic City</st1:place></st1:City> and win pretty reguraly. When we decided to move to <st1:City><st1:place>Cincinnati</st1:place></st1:City> we made the descion to see if I could make a living from it. So far I would give the experiment a c+, there are a lot of ups and downs. Molly has been very supportive of it which is great.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I am currently looking for other part time emolyment to make up for the swings you encounter since we are saving for a house and paying for a wedding but I still play about 45-50 hours a week between live games and internet.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I have consistent success with 1 and 2 table SNGs. What do I need to do to take this success and do well in a MTT, where I've never really had success?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
The biggest difference between SNG’s and MTT is patience. In a SNG if you double up early you are in a great spot to take more chances and finish in the money. Plus you are generally forced to be more aggressive since the blinds typically go up faster.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
In MTT’s the early pots you win are pretty insignifigant. Lets say there are 500 people registered in the tournament and each person starts with 1500 in chips. That’s 750,000 chips in play. The pots you win early are so small in the grand scheme, even if you double up early the 3000 you have is nothing. I very rarely bluff early in MTT, the risk vs. reward just isn’t there. I play ABC poker until the first break, after that is when you want to take your chances because the blinds are bigger and there is usually antes. As long as you have a decent number of chips later in the tournament and are patient you will double up a few times along the way and put yourself in position to do well. <o:p></o:p>

Why do you do so much better at poker when Molly is out of town?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I really don’t know. I guess it’s because I’m not distracted by her beauty<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>

Path12<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
K-J non suited. What's your play?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Well without much to go on I say fold. The only way I would play this hand is in late position in a unopened pot and always for a raise. This is the kind of hand that gets you in trouble. Unless you flop a straight or 2 pair there are just to many hands that you are vulnerable to such as AK, AJ, or KQ.
<o:p> </o:p>
Another exception would be if you are shortstacked and need to push,<o:p></o:p>

Are there any oft-repeated "words of wisdom" concerning poker that you completely disagree with?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Not really, most of them make sense but there are some clichés that I hate. Everytime someone says “ chip and a chair” I want to rip their faces off.
<o:p> </o:p>
The other one is a lot of pro’s advocate the concept of defending your blinds. To me that is dumb, once that money is in the pot it’s not yours anymore.

<o:p> </o:p>
Are you going to the WSoP? (or have you ever gone?)<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I definantly will at some point. I was supposed to go last year but we got caught up in moving. This year we have the wedding so I may no be able to.

What would it take for you to become a full-time big stakes poker player?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Well obviously I would need the bankroll. I would also need to make sure my family was financially stable enough to handle the swings it would involve<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
MollyMurphy<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
If you could spend a day with one pro poker player, who would it be? Why? and what is the one thing you would want to know most from them?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Probably Doyle Brunson. He must have some crazy stories. It’s hard to put my finger on one thing I would want to know.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Cartman<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
What better: online or live poker?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I prefer to play live. One of my best skills is reading people. The beauty of online is you can play for much cheaper and win more on a much smaller investment.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Do get pissed off when people complain about 'RiverStars' when playing at PokerStars?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Yes. Losing on the river is a part of poker. It seems to happen more online because you see so many more hands than playing live so of course you will see more bad beats.<o:p></o:p>

How much thought goes into GMing a WW game? Is it so easy a girl can do it?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I think anyone with an imagination and mild organizational skills can do it. As long as you have an interesting theme.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Molly has played WW twice and twice she's been a wolf, I don't remember you as anything other than a wolf, coincidence?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Yes, unless it is sexually transmitted<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Barkeep49<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
What has changed in WW games over time that has made the game better? What has changed that has made it worse (and no fair saying that you miss some of the players)?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I think the creation of “small games” has made it better. It has allowed newer players to get into the game while letting the experienced players who have been eliminated to continue to get their fix.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
The thing that has made it worse is sometimes we try to re invent the wheel and it can over complicate the game. It seems at times we try to one up each other when running games. I know some people like the ultra complex games but they aren’t my cup of tea.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
What is the best thing about being an evil person?<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>
What do you think is the key to playing a wolf effectively? Conversely, what do you think the key is to playing a villager effectively?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I think the key to being a successful wolf is leading people to the conclusion you want them to come to while making them think it was their idea in the first place.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I think the key to being a successful villager is surviving each day. I like to try and toe the line so there is some suspiscoun on me. That way the bad guys will not kill me a night, but usually that ends up getting me lynched.<o:p></o:p>

Blade6119<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
So instead ill ask who do you think is the best wolf in FOFC, and who is the best villager?(not in any one game, but overall)<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Not including myself I think hoops is the best wolf because he is so good still acting like a villager.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I think chiefrum is the best villager. He usually has good anaylisis and for some reason usually has a good read on me.<o:p></o:p>

Saldana questions<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
How dissapointing is it that saldana isn't grilling you?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Not terribly, he can be really obnoxious when he puts his mind to it.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>
How did you and Saldana meet?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
12 years ago we were working at the same restaurant. The funny thing was we HATED each other at first. The restaurant had just opened and the two of us had emerged as the top 2 servers if you will so there was a lot of competition between us. One night he was having a party and this girl I wanted to bang was going so I went reluctantly. We ended up putting our differences aside over a heated game of asshole. He has been like my brother ever since and has done more for me then anyone else in my life. I am very honored that he’ll be the best man at my wedding.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I never did bang the girl but I gained a brother so I guess it was worth it.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
And no we’re not gay.<o:p></o:p>

[FONT=Verdana]What are the five most annoying things about saldana?<o:p></o:p>[/FONT]
<o:p> </o:p>
He really doesn’t annoy me much. In the 12 years we have been friends we have only had one big fight and that stemmed from the fact he was being overly competitive so I guess that’s one.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
He sometimes can be inappropriate at the wrong time but always means well.<o:p></o:p>

He licks his fingers and puts them back in potato chip bag<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>

There really isn’t much, I guess the fact that I am struggling to think of any means he isn’t all that annoying.<o:p></o:p>

We went on vacation to <st1:place>Nantucket</st1:place>. There is a beach there called Madakat beach that has some of the most beautiful sunsets ever. Our first night there we went for a sunset walk there and I put the ring in my shoe. IT was funny because when we got to the beach she asked me if I am gonna take off my shoes, I was like, no. We walked about ½ mile and I told her there was a rock in my shoe. I got on my knee and took my shoe off. Took the ring out and proposed. I had this whole speech planned but at the moment I forgot it all and just popped the question. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>
When I moved back to NJ from TX I was working at the Fridays near home. Her and her roommate came in and we started talking. It was my second day back. Her roommate actually liked me first. We got to know each other better through them coming in a couple of times a week. One night they were in and I had just gotten off of work and sat down to have a couple of drinks with them. It turns out she was going to be right by my house the next day so we met for lunch. A few days later a group of us went out and the rest is history.<o:p></o:p>

She is a taskmaster. If I say I am going to do something she will hound me until it’s done. This may not be so annoying except I am a world class procrastinator.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
She is insane about keeping the checkbook in order. If I don’t give her a receipt she hounds me for it. She has gotten better about this though.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
When she picks up after me even though I tell her I will get to it.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
She used to be a hard core work out freak. Since we moved we don’t go to the gym as much and she is to hard on herself about it and has no reason to be.<o:p></o:p>

Watching bowling on TV[I]

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN VEGETARIAN?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Almost 18 years. I pretty much didn’t eat meat after age 14.

WHAT KIND OF VEGETARIAN ARE YOU?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Not a very strict one. I’ll eat dairy products or if something has beef/chicken broth. I have also begun to occasionally eat pepperoni or salami. I was strict for about 10 years but it was never a moral thing, I really could care less about animals.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE SOMEONE LOOKING TO BECOME A VEGETARIAN?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Research meat alternatives and take vitamins.

HOW MANY BEERS DOES IT TAKE FOR YOU TO GET A GOOD BUZZ? DRUNK?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
About 6-8 for a buzz<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
12-15 to get drunk
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
WHAT 2 PEOPLE ON THE BOARD WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE BEERS WITH?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Probably Amdaily and Greyroofoo as long as it’s somewhere there is no internet access. I think it would be fun to watch them get drunk then go insane because they couldn’t post in the <st1:place>Ping</st1:place>: Drunk Guy thread.

DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL WITH ANYONE FAMOUS?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Oddly enough kind of. I went to high school with Eric Neise. He was on the first Real World and later went on to be the host of The Grind. He was a douche bag.

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST FEAR?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Disappointing my family or friends

WHAT ARE YOUR BEST/WORST QUALITIES?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Best: Loyalty. I’ll do anything for my friends.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Worst: I am way to impulsive and not always in a good way. There have been way to many times when I have acted first and thought second.<o:p></o:p>

What FOFCer do you find most annoying?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
You mean other then you? J<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
That’s a tough question. I am pretty laid back by nature so I really don’t get annoyed by people I don’t even know. I guess my cop out answer would be Hell Atlantic, why he hasn’t been banned is beyond me.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>

What is your most prized possession?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
My dad gave me a watch that belonged to my grandfather, I don’t even wear it but it is nice to have a little piece of him.

What better Molly or Murphy?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Molly’s screen name is derived from Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys. I prefer Dropkick Murphys.

How did Ant and I not know about your trip to DFW?<o:p></o:p>

How did you come to enjoy the music that you do?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
My heavy Metal influence comes from my sister and her friends. She is 3 years older then me and when I was younger I looked up to them. They all played in a band and listened to Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, etc… so it was natural for me to fall in line. I also started playing drums when I was 8 and IMO those are some of the best drummers in the world.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I started listening to Irish Punk a while back when a good friend of mine bought me to <st1:City><st1:place>Boston</st1:place></st1:City> to see Dropkick Murphys live on St. Patrick’s day. I was hooked instantly.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
St. Cronin<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Give me your <st1:place>Mount Rushmore</st1:place> of drummers.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
This is a tough one because there are so many worthy choices<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>

Buddy Rich- just amazing what this guy did, years ahead of his time.<o:p></o:p>
Lars Ulrich- the single biggest musical influence for me. Early Mettalica ( pre black album) is awesome. And Justice for All… may be the greatest drumming album of all time.<o:p></o:p>
Neil Pert- Technically amazing, the timing he keeps is superb considering all the tempo changes the band does.<o:p></o:p>
Mike Portny- If you have never listened to Dream Theatre you are missing out, challenges Pert for the title of best technical drummer.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p>
Do you know how I know you're gay?????<o:p></o:p>

When they make a movie about your life, who will play you? Who will play Molly? Who will play saldana? And who will provide the voice reading my posts as you surf the fofc?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I will be played by Ed Norton. Preferable the Ed Norton who was in Rounders. Molly will without a doubt be Amy Smart. She is really sexy and there is a resemblance. Saldana will be played by the aflac duck. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I always hear the voice of Jack Palance when I think of you, the guy who played Curly in City Slickers.<o:p></o:p>

Umm, I dunno, I don’t work with animals.

Is there really a WKRP in <st1:City><st1:place>Cincinnati</st1:place></st1:City>?
Not that I know of but I am a satellite radio guy so it’s possible.<o:p></o:p>

Favorite TV show and movie as a child and favorite TV show and movie now?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Hmm, as a child I was a huge GI Joe fan. My favorite movie was probably Star Wars.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
As an adult my favorite show is probably <st1:City><st1:place>Las Vegas</st1:place></st1:City> although I’ll watch anything with Poker. My favorite movie is Rounders but The Departed gives it a run for its money.<o:p></o:p>

Not at all. Growing up I was actually very edgy. I had hair down to my ass, played drums in a heavy metal band, and got in a lot of fights. I cut school a lot and did a lot of drinking and partying. I have even been in jail. <o:p></o:p>

You don't work for Friday's anymore, right? What do you do these days?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I’ve been playing poker for the last 7 months and bartending sporadically.

If you're ahead of me in the fantasy baseball standings when you come into town, do you agree to buy me as many beers as places ahead of me you are in the standings, rather than just the one you already owe me?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
If it’s Miller Lite I will buy you one for each place ahead of you I am.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
If it’s that fancy queer beer you get one if you are lucky.

Why do you insist on drinking Miller Light in a place that serves decent, nay, FANTASTIC beers?<o:p></o:p>

Because I don’t need to drink a cool looking beer to look cool. Unlike others.<o:p></o:p>

HA!!!<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I have an 85 pound golden retriever named Bernie. He is the best dog ever.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
We also have a cat that we adopted from Saldana since he is allergic. Her name is Newt. She sucks.<o:p></o:p>


[I]What is the thing about you that you like best?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
The fact that I am easy going, not much bothers me or stresses me out.

What is the thing about you that you like least?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I have no sense of urgency.

Eli: still blossoming or big mistake?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Still Blossoming. Just because his last name is Manning doesn’t mean he should have added pressure. It took Peyton 9 years? To win a superbowl. Eli will be just fine.<o:p></o:p>

Jphillips<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Skip this if it's too personal, but as an adoptive parent I'd love to know any advice you might have for me as my daughter gets older. What kinds of feelings might she go through as she gets older? Is there anything I can do to help her come to terms with her adoption?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I admire anyone who adopts. It is one of the most generous thing you can do for someone to give them a better life. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I actually don’t remember when my parents told me I was adopted. It is something I have always known and I feel that is the key. A lot of parents don’t tell their kids they are adopted until they are older for fear of how the child would react. I think it is important to be honest early, that way there isn’t a defining moment in the child’s life when everything changed.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I think the best course of action is let her know you are willing to discuss all the details of her adoption, where she was born, etc… Let her know it isn’t something to be ashamed of.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Some emotions she will go through are feelings of abandonment. There will be a lot of curiosity about heritage, family history, siblings, and medical history.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I never went through any emotional distress stemming my adoption. If you are good parents she will love you for who you are. My parents are just as much my parents as anyone else’s.<o:p></o:p>

How did TGIF's policy of flair fly under the radar for so long, before being brought to light in Office Space?
<!---->
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Just like any other cult their secrets were guarded until someone betrayed them and went public.<o:p></o:p>

[I]How many pages in the TGIF training manual were devoted to flair?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
In the early days more then I care to admit.

Did you ever have to administer a beat down to someone not wearing enough flair?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I delivered many verbal beat downs and one time I was forced to whip someone with their barren suspenders. But it was in <st1:country-region><st1:place>China</st1:place></st1:country-region> so that’s acceptable there.

When you had to train staff at TGIF in foreign countries, did they also have to wear the flair? If so, how did they react?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
They did and in some countries they still do. They loved it! Generally the staff is young and it gave them a chance to express themselves in a way the usually couldn’t. Especially in <st1:country-region><st1:place>China</st1:place></st1:country-region>.<o:p></o:p>

seeing as your profession is one that places an exaggerated emphasis on money (you have to have some to make some, unlike people like me who don’t need any to start my day), if, just hypothetically, you were to break up with the lovely MollyMurphy (i will kill you), what would the value of that relationship be in monetary terms, and if its too difficult to place a value on MM, use a different former fiancée (assuming you have a former fiancée)?
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
There is no monetary value I can put on Molly. She is the best thing to ever happen to me.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I was previously engaged and this brings up a funny point. After me and the ex split up she went crazy. She thought I should compensate her for the time we were together. She actually came up with an itemized bill of expenses I should have to reimburse her for. She then sent the bill to my father ( my parents have some money) and explained to him that he has helped me in the past and she hates to involve him but….
The total amount was 15,000 and she included a self addressed stamped envelope, nice of her to save him the postage. Needless to say he didn’t send it. I actually went to a lawyer etc…. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Thankfully I haven’t heard from her in years. Hopefully she is rotting away with gonorrhea somewhere.

has there ever been anything in your life you were too afraid to actually do? what was it and why were you afraid?<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>
I love sports betting. The worst was a bet on a college basketball game. My team was covering by a point. The ref called a foul in the back court with 1/10 of a second left in a 15 point blow out game. The kid hit 2 free throws and I lost<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
The other was a first half bet with the giants covering by 3. With no time left instead of Kerry Collins taking a knee he threw a screen pass that was picked off and returned for a TD.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
The most embarrassing bet ever was late one Sunday night we were very drunk and placed a bet on a WNBA game. As if that in itself wasn’t bad enough we watched the game on the Oxygen network.<o:p></o:p>

<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
The only thing I know is my mother was in med school when she had me. I really don’t care to know, I think it’s an insult to my parents who have given me everything. The only curiosities I have are my medical history and my heritage.<o:p></o:p>

OK, Molly was returning them and that lady was out of line.

Besides gambling, do you have any other hobbies/interest we aren't aware of?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Sports, playing hockey, reading, music, cooking, video games.

How were you able to convince MollyMurphy to join the forum?
<!---->
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
It was easy. One of her best qualities is she is interested in the things that interest me. She wanted to try werewolf so signed her up.<o:p></o:p>

[I]What is your full birth name?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Brian Joshua Harris

How did you end up becoming involved with Werewolf?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Peregrine bought the game to the board. At the time I was working in an office spent a lot of time on FOFC so I decided it looked fun. I joined and was the first person ever lynched.

Have you ever contemplated digging into your family history to learn more about your past?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Yes but I don’t know how it could change me and that’s a little scary. It is very possible I have siblings out there and that would be really strange. Sometimes not knowing is better.

<o:p> </o:p>
I also played a lot of hockey and baseball and basketball.

When were you born? And where did the birth take place?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
1975 in Freehold NJ

Since you are a vegetarian, do you sometimes get that orange tone to you skin from too many multivitamins?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
That would require me taking multi vitamins.

Do you have piercings in areas that are safe to talk about without making me cringe?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
No. I used to have my ear pierced.

How exactly did you and saldana meet and why aren't there any pictures of this guy?<o:p></o:p>

Very little pop.

Who were some of your friends growing up and did your parents like them? <o:p></o:p>

Are there goals that you are still trying to reach?<o:p></o:p>

I’m a big softy. I look like I am always pissed off but I am actually usually in a good mood.

Have you had any financial challenges in your life that you have overcome?<o:p></o:p>

Thankfully nothing major. There were a few times I was broke and depended on family or friends for help but nothing to the point where I was in a lot of trouble. <o:p></o:p>
