Name: Anakin McFly. That’s not my real name. I’m not telling you my real name.

 

Occupation(s): Student, and webmaster of Keanu site whoaisnotme.net.

 

1. Ghostbusters 1 or 2? Can’t remember 2, so I’ll go with 1.

2. What is your drink of choice? Ice lemon tea, which I drink far too much of.

3. What album/songs are you listening to right now? Nothing. Silence is golden.

4. What is your favorite episode of Seinfeld/Friends?  Don’t watch Seinfield, and most of Friends is awesome. It’s like picking children…

5. What do you wish you were doing right now? Having a working PHP comments script for my site. Still working out bugs in the newly-created user login system, so a working comments script is still far away… 

6. What are you doing right now [besides answering these questions]? Pondering the amount of undone homework I have left to do.

7. What country will you never visit? Never say never.

8. Nickname you wish you had? I occasionally regret not going with one of my original screename choices of Anakin Neo McFly. Back then in my foolish youth I thought it was sci-fi geek overkill, but IT IS NOT.

9. Who is your favorite superhero (actual or imagined)? Chuck Norris. …No, not really. I’m only saying that because no one else is coming to mind.

10. What is your favourite Keanu Reeves Movie? The awesome that is The Matrix. I pretend Reloaded does not exist.

11. Who is the oldest celebrity you would sleep with? I don’t do sleeping with people. Unless no sex is involved, whereupon I’ll go with anyone who doesn’t snore too loudly.

12. Which ‘Saved by the Bell’ character did you most resemble in high school? Haven’t watched that.

13. Name someone who needs to be told something about themself? Isis, Keanu’s official stalker. Someone needs to let her know that she is the crazy one, not us.

14. Who is your favorite New Yorker? I don’t know many New Yorkers…

15. What is your favorite way to curse someone/something awful? Zark you.

16. What is the most embarrassing song on your ‘Get Psyched’ playlist? ‘Embarrassing’ is a subjective term. I have songs from ‘Bill & Ted’s Excellent Musical’ gotten off billandted.org, but they are most triumphant and not at all embarrassing.

17. Which celebrity do you hate for no reason? Orlando Bloom.

18. Amy Adams vs. Isla Fischer? Amy Adams, because I don’t know who Isla Fischer is.
19. What would you do with a snuggie? Had to look that up, and… whoa. I learnt something new today. I would wear it, I guess.

20. Any Questions? Yeah, but I already know the answer. It’s the question I don’t know. ‘What is six times seven?’ seems far too simple to be right.

Name: Sean Patrick Liam Reynolds

Occupation(s): Digital Marketer Extraordinaire, Keeper of the really good “Lisa in High School” stories.

1. Ghostbusters 1 or 2? Tough choice, as you really can’t go wrong with Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts. But I of course have to go with the groundbreaking original.

2. What is your drink of choice? Stoli O & 7, though it can change at a moment’s notice. Really, I just choose to drink.

3. What album/songs are you listening to right now? Some crappy thing on iTunes Radio – why can’t I get a decent radio station on here?!

4. What is your favorite episode of Seinfeld/Friends? I hated Seinfeld. I saw them all, but hated them. For Friends – absolutely The One With the Prom Video. To the point that I actually yelled at my 11 year-old cousin when she shut off the tv right before the kiss. I hate kids.

5. What do you wish you were doing right now? Eating something – I’m starving.

6. What are you doing right now [besides answering these questions]? I’m about to paint! It’s only been a year and a half, shut up.

7. What country will you never visit? I really do try to stay open-minded, but I don’t think I have much use for Lithuania. Just sayin’.

8. Nickname you wish you had? I actually picked one up about a year and a half ago that I quite enjoyed. ;-)

9. Who is your favorite superhero (actual or imagined)? Ooooooh – POWER GIRL. So she has all of Superman’s powers, but she’s blonde, buxom and sassy!! Seriously – you don’t even know the awesomeness. Did I mention her costume has a keyhole right over the bosom?

10. What is your favourite Keanu Reeves Movie? Something’s Gotta Give. I freakin’ love that movie.

11. Who is the oldest celebrity you would sleep with? Hugh Jackman. I don’t care if he’s old(ish).

12. Which ‘Saved by the Bell’ character did you most resemble in high school? I’m completely Jessie Spano. Tall, loud, only semi-popular but with an odd amount of plaid in my wardrobe.

13. Name someone who needs to be told something about themself? Anyone who thinks throwing on deoderant is “enough.” It’s a tightly packed city, people – if you don’t shower, WE’LL KNOW.

14. Who is your favorite New Yorker? Me. Duh.

15. What is your favorite way to curse someone/something awful? I wasn’t even aware that I do this, but apparently I have this thing where I’m sickeningly cooperative and pleasant on the phone, and then hang it up and declare “Douchebag!” And I’m told it’s only endearing the first few times. Not the first 248.

16. What is the most embarrassing song on your ‘Get Psyched’ playlist? Ummmm. Well. There MAY or MAY NOT be a song from the “Ice Princess” soundtrack on there…

17. Which celebrity do you hate for no reason? Vince Vaughn. Really just don’t understand the appeal at all.

18. Amy Adams vs. Isla Fischer? I did love Confessions of a Shopaholic, but I have to go with Amy Adams. I just feel like she’s the real deal. Plus I just re-watched The Wedding Date, and she played a really good selfish half-sister in that.

19. What would you do with a snuggie? I want to say snuggle, but Lori ruined it that time she made me think of snuggie-inspired sexual positions.

20. Any Questions? How are you all so awesome?

4. What is your favorite episode of Seinfeld/Friends? As I hated Seinfeld, I’ll go with Friends. I think my favorite episode would be the one where Ross gets stuck in his leather pants in the bathroom of some chick he’s dating and has Joey on the phone trying to help him get out of them.

Name: Andrew
Occupation(s): Government Computer Geek (and text re-formatter)

  1. Ghostbusters 1 or 2?
    The first. While the second one did have its merits (like seeing the NYPL covered in slime), the first left me traumatized and terrified of dark places for several years. So naturally it gets my vote.
  2. What is your drink of choice?
    Stella Artois. It’s widely available here in the USA and it’s much better than L’Urine d’États-Unis.
  3. What album/songs are you listening to right now?
    Massive Attack, Rabbit In The Moon, Thievery Corporation, Lemon Jelly
  4. What is your favorite episode of either Seinfeld or Friends?
    I fail at TV pop culture questions. I’ve seen plenty of episodes of both, but for some reason the only one which comes to mind is the one where one of the male Friends has a turkey on his head. As shows go they’re both pretty generic and boring.
  5. What do you wish you were doing right now?
    Either travelling around the world or riding the motorcycle I want to buy along delightfully scenic and twisty roadways.
  6. What are you doing right now [besides answering these questions]?
    Tweaking some software I’ve been writing, dealing with tons of e-mail, and I just ate a packet of Oreo crisps.
  7. What country will you never visit?
    There isn’t any particular country I refuse to go to, but at the moment I’d be hesitant about quite a few places on the African continent – mostly for worry about safety.
  8. Nickname you wish you had?
    I’ve had a few nicknames I wish I didn’t have, but perhaps I’m unimaginative, because nothing really comes to mind.
  9. Who is your favorite superhero (actual or imagined)?
    Yoda. As a secondary answer, The Invisible Man.
  10. What is your favorite Keanu Reeves movie?
    The Matrix. Of course. That movie was so good that even Keanu couldn’t break it.
  11. Who is the oldest celebrity you would sleep with?
    Vanessa Redgrave. Or Christopher Lee, but only if he talks to me like he’s Saruman.
  12. Which ‘Saved by the Bell’ character did you most resemble in high school?
    Screech. Mostly because of the hair.
  13. Name someone who needs to be told something about themselves.
    Andrew. He loves hearing people talk about him.
  14. Who is your favorite New Yorker?
    My mom.
  15. What is your favorite way to curse someone or say something awful about them?
    My personal growth lately has helped me say lots of bad things about people while still making it sound good. So when I say, “there’s a lot of opportunity for improvement”, I’m really saying they’re dumb as doorknobs. If you buy me a Stella Artois or six, the worst, and I mean the worst thing I can ever call someone is “a fucking cunt”. It’s a very rare term. Lately I’ve been thinking about how it might need to be used a little more.
  16. What is the most embarrassing song on your ‘Get Psyched’ playlist?
    Pretty much everything musically that I listen to makes me happy, but I don’t know if I have a playlist which takes me over the top. I supposed you want to read some really embarrassing answer, like Madonna’s Like A Virgin or Taylor Dayne’s Tell It To My Heart but I’ll just have to let you down.
  17. Which celebrity do you hate most for no reason?
    I think a lot of celebrities have significant opportunities for improvement. There isn’t one in particular that stands out as being extra doorknob-ish, but there are a few who stand out in the opposite way (i.e., are awe-inspiring).
  18. Please describe the difference between Amy Adams and Isla Fisher.
    That’s funny, I thought they were just pen names of the same doorknob.
  19. What would you do with a Snuggie?
    Set it on fire, of course.
  20. Any questions?
    Will we get a bonus edition on the twentieth Twenty Questions Tuesday?

Name: Jian “no middle name” Sun

Occupation(s): Communications Manager by day, mysterious New Yorker by night.

 

1. Ghostbusters 1 or 2? I enjoyed both movies – I think I saw the second one in the theater and was enamored by a floating translucent Slimer. I also watched the show on Saturday morning cartoons, which was awesome cause they had far more elaborate ghosts than in the movies. But, if I had to pick only one, I’d have to pick the first one cause I remember that one very clearly and have probably seen it more times. I need to rewatch both of them – marathon anyone?

2. What is your drink of choice? Non-Alcoholic: I love carbonated water – tonics, club soda, and flavored seltzers alike. Beer: I love Snakebites and Honey Brown, but my current staple is Heineken Light. Hard Liquor: Much like Madonna, I have had a deep committed relationship to the English Gin, but deep down, I always go back to my first latin love – tequila.

3. What album/songs are you listening to right now? I am Queen of the Shuffle cause I never know what I’m in the mood for – I just dl’ed some Raconteurs, Van Morrison, the new Franz Ferdinand, and I’m loving the new rapper Kid Cudi – Day N’ Nite.

4. What is your favorite episode of either Seinfeld or Friends? That is really a hard one – both shows are so iconic. I’ll just share the first two that popped into my mind. Seinfeld: I think it was a chicken shop that had a ridiculous neon sign outside of Kramer’s window. Jerry switches apartments and starts acting like Kramer. George has that huge hat that we still make fun of to this day. Friends: The trivia episode where the girls lose their apt because they don’t know what Chanandler Bong does for a living. It’s funny cause they don’t know what he does and they’re his friends, but also cause the writers don’t care enough to tell us either.

5. What do you wish you were doing right now? I wish I was in a different country – preferably a warmer one at the moment – eating great food and interacting with the natives in a positive way.

6. What are you doing right now [besides answering these questions]? Procrastinating on writing copy for a CD presentation and writing out info for a Webinar on our crappy economy. Also, I am drinking a V8.

7. What country will you never visit? Probably somewhere war torn where I might get blown up at any minute – pick a country in the Middle East.

8. Nickname you wish you had? HOVA? J to the Izzay – definitely

9. Who is your favorite super-hero (actual or imagined)? Batman – he is one sexy MF. He’s also a regular guy. That’s way hotter than being a radioactive mutant.

10. What is your favorite Keanu Reeves movie? There is almost no way for me to answer this question. I’ll mention 3 staples of mine. The Gift – because he was amazing and the movie was awesome. Speed – that’s where we met and I found out what love really is. My Own Private Idaho – cause watching him with River Phoenix makes me extremely happy and devastatingly sad all at once.

11. Who is the oldest celebrity you would sleep with? I’m not sure it’s Anthony Bourdain anymore – I may just want to be his BFF. The alternate is Bryan Adams – I’ll let you know after I see the concert. But, I have to say the new oldest is: Hugh Laurie! He is 6 months older than BA.

12. Which ‘Saved by the Bell’ character did you most resemble in high school? I’d have to say, a cross between Slater and Screech – I was sort of a jock/nerd, but I was not retarded and did not have a curly fro. My hair was like Kelly Kapowski’s?

13. Name someone who needs to be told something about themselves. I think a lot of people need to be told something – if it’s me, please let me know! In terms of celebrities, I’d have to go with Heidi and Spencer. Can they just kill themselves already?

14. Who is your favorite New Yorker? Anthony Bourdain! Thanks for Les Halles – awesome mussels!

15. What is your favorite way to curse someone or say something awful about them? I usually tell them something truthful about themselves and they think it’s a joke. But, it’s not. Sorry. Not really.

16. What is the most embarrassing song on your ‘Get Psyched’ playlist? Probably something from Beyonce or Kelly Clarkson – Single Ladies and Kelly Clarkson singing about some nonexistent relationship she probably didn’t have. Sorry, that was me being truthful again.

17. Which celebrity do you hate most for no reason? I don’t hate anyone for no reason, but I guess the closest person is Chris Martin and I hate him because he’s a pretentious tool.

18. Please describe the difference between Amy Adams and Isla Fisher. Amy Adams sings and Isla Fisher is British – if they kept their mouths shut or Isla Fisher starts singing, we’re screwed.

19. What would you do with a Snuggie? Give it to someone who doesn’t mind wearing a glorified Mumu.

20. Any questions? Why did it take 8 years to get that poor excuse for a human being out of office?

16. What is the most embarrassing song on your ‘Get Psyched’ playlist? None of them are embarrassing, but somewhere in between the Come Baby Come song from Centerstage (you call that Salsa?) and Livin’ la vida loca I feel like people might think I’m crazy or a gay man.

17. Which celebrity do you hate most for no reason? Gary Sinise

18. Please describe the difference between Amy Adams and Isla Fisher. One is a shopaholic and the other slept with debra messing’s fiancé and caused that relationship to end and then married the fiance’s best friend. Duh.

Name: Natalia

Occupation(s): stay at home actress/global studies tutor

1. Ghostbusters 1 or 2? Loved both, always have always will….. but….. gotta say Ghostbusters 2. Bill Murray was on top form. His timing was awesome.

2. What is your drink of choice? Amaretto Sour. I like sweet things.

3. What album/songs are you listening to right now? Who Killed Amanda Palmer by Amanda Palmer. I love her. I want to be her friend. She seems so fucking anti celebrity and into the artistry. Shes not the best singer in the world I even think she knows that but her lyrics are just downright awesome. She sings like she speaks which is what I do, I mean yeah she goes into prose and symbolism like any poet/lyricist does but she doesn’t go so out there that you have no idea what shes talking about. My favorite songs from that album are Guitar Hero, Oasis, and The Astronaut.

4. What is your favorite episode of either Seinfeld or Friends? I never watched Seinfeld. I couldn’t get into it. Friends I never watched religiously but its been in syndication for so long I know I most likely have seen every episode by now. My favorite episode of Friends is the episode that Ross gets married and Rachel goes to stop it, changes her mind, and he accidentally says her name. Not because of the whole Ross and Rachel thing. I just thought Phoebe was really funny. I also love that Chandler and Monica got together. That was my pairing that I cheered for. Phoebe chasing Rachel out the door and failing “Yeah like I can chase you, Im carrying a litter!”.

5. What do you wish you were doing right now? Sleeping. God I hate insomnia sometimes.

6. What are you doing right now [besides answering these questions]? Listening to my itunes (right now its Stay from Shakespeare’s Sister), uploading albums to sendspace and mediafire, chatting with a guy from the uk. Hes not hot but hey its good to make new friends.

7. What country will you never visit? Most likely any war torn nation.

8. Nickname you wish you had? My Queen….. what? …stop laughing…. *givesyouallthefinger*

9. Who is your favorite superhero (actual or imagined)? I will forever be a wonder woman fan. When I was little I thought I could become her so when I got picked on in kindergarden I remember telling everyone to watch out cuz I was gonna beat them up, i would take out my ponytail and then spin around…. and nothing happened…. one of the many times i realized what was real and what was fake on tv.

10. What is your favorite Keanu Reeves movie? Point Break. OMG that scene on the beach with Lori Petty??? “umm Im really late….im mean, Im reeeally late” I wish I was her in that one moment!! I loved him in Much Ado About Nothing not only because it is in fact my most favorite play by Shakespeare but cuz he played the bad guy and I was so happy to see him play a douche. It was awesome he did a good job.

11. Who is the oldest celebrity you would sleep with? Alan Rickman. Kenneth Brannagh, they are in their 50s. .

12. Which ‘Saved by the Bell’ character did you most resemble in high school? I was fat all my life, I guess I had Jesse Spano hair cuz its naturally curly but if you are talking personality wise. I was and will always be the Screech in any group of friends.

13. Name someone who needs to be told something about themselves. Everyone needs to be told something about themselves at least once in their lives its how we grow..

14. Who is your favorite New Yorker? Moby. I just like that hes always around. No joke I run into that guy at least 4 to 5 times a year Hes either hanging with his peeps at the Blue Man Group Theater, in Union Square, Thompson Square, and he is just chillin’ he loves the city and he is always just being a guy in the city never a celebrity its cool beans. ( i cant believe I said, cool beans).

15. What is your favorite way to curse someone or say something awful about them? Well as someone who deals with classes filled with bitch ass and punk ass high school kids, i find the best way to insult them is to poke fun at their intelligence or lack thereof and make it very clear that they are impressing no one. In fact, that is the one i use a lot and it really makes them feel like shit “You are UNIMPRESSIVE! No one is laughing at your joke they are laughing at YOU cuz you are acting pathetic!”

16. What is the most embarrassing song on your ‘Get Psyched’ playlist? I dont have a get psyched list but if I did it would be a rather large one and it would have a plethora of ridiculous songs on there. Off the top of my head, Rock Me Amadeus from Falco but heck Im not embarrassed by that at all.

17. Which celebrity do you hate most for no reason? OMG there are too many I feel terrible about it too cuz they just rub me the wrong way and people like them. I can not stand Leo Dicaprio. The only movie I loved him in was Whats Eating Gilbert Grape and he played someone with mental issues I think that says alot. I can’t tolerate Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie but I have valid reasons why. I dont like Courtney Cox or Jennifer Aniston. Mathew Maconaughey bugs me. See this list can go on forever.

18. Please describe the difference between Amy Adams and Isla Fisher. Amy Adams is a broadway potential actress who lucked out with a big screen career and Isla Fisher is an annoying actress who is just lucky enough to have a great sense of humor if she married Borat. She got my respect for that. Both have equal amounts of lame talent to me though. .

19. What would you do with a Snuggie? Give it to my mom. Sorry I really respect you guys for loving the Snuggie Im sure its great, I just think I would be annoyed by the thing..

20. Any questions? If the moon were made of cheese, wouldya eat it? I know I would!

Name: Lisa

Occupation(s): picker, grinner, lover, sinner and very unwilling 29 year old

 

1.       Ghostbusters 1 or 2?

It should be noted, that Rachel used to agree with me that 2 was superior, but she has since been worn down by the opposition. 2 has yanush and vigo. and a dancing toaster that loves Motown. And better jokes. and the titanic finally arrives. better late than never.

 

2.       What is your drink of choice?

If I’m watching sports, seeing a concert, hanging out with myself, ted, Chicago, eating barbeque, or am at a pub, i choose beer (abita, yeungling, spaten). At middle of the road establishments, and while seeing comedy shows or dinner theatre, I choose gin & tonics, which it turns out I love. At Acme bar and grill, I choose Lynchburg lemonades. During the summer months (and year round at Rapture) I choose mojitos. At brunch I choose mimosa’s. At restaurants and while blogging or watching gossip girl, I choose wine. At specialty establishments, I choose gin fizz’s or the equally awesome Ramos Fizz. You are all cordially invited to choose gin in 2009.

 

3.       What album/songs are you listening to right now?

Since no one listened to me about seeing the musical ‘passing strange’ you should at least get the soundtrack. I want everyone to know that the beastie boys have remastered the classic album ‘paul’s boutique’ for the 20th anniversary of its release. This album is legen-dary.

 

4.       What is your favorite episode of either Seinfeld or Friends?

The holiday armadillo episode of friends is one of those things that 7 years later, Rachel can still use to make me laugh and forget why I was just yelling.

 

5.       What do you wish you were doing right now?

I wish I was drinking a mojito because then it would either be summer or I would be at Rapture. I also wish I was celebrating my 27th birthday.

 

6.       What are you doing right now [besides answering these questions]?

i’m getting ready to go to work. by the time you read this, i’m probably there and wishing i was home with my snuggie. or i’m home and dreading going back to work. or it’s a week from now because you don’t read this too often. whenever you read this, i’m probably wondering if it’s really better in the bahamas. not that i’m psychic or anything, i just wonder that a lot.

 

7.       What country will you never visit?

Australia. I could never adjust to such a huge time difference.

 

8.        Nickname you wish you had?

Bam.

 

9.       Who is your favorite superhero (actual or imagined)?

Wolverine encompasses all that is right with superhero’s: hotness, physical prowess, and wolf like coolness. Actually, I change my answer to Hugh Jackman. He sings dances acts and is hot. Quadruple threat superhero!

 

10.   What is your favorite Keanu Reeves movie?

I would have to say Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, because that is when I first fell in love with Keanu. And it’s just awesome. They play battleship with death!!!

 

11.   Who is the oldest celebrity you would sleep with?

Shrug. Maybe Adam Horovitz from the beastie boys.

 

12.   Which ‘Saved by the Bell’ character did you most resemble in high school?

Probably Tori. I always felt like a motorcycle jacket wearer in a 80 degrees and sunny world.

 

13.   Name someone who needs to be told something about themself.

There’s this woman in park slope who is always begging for hot dogs on the street. If you don’t give her one, she yells at you and questions your nocturnal habits. She has crazy eyes.

 

14.   Who is your favorite New Yorker?

the beastie boys. And Jackie kennedy. The guy who owns my bodega is pretty cool even though he always wants to put bacon on my egg sandwich.

 

15.   What is your favorite way to curse someone/something awful?

I like calling someone a crapweasel or an assclown. But I’ve found that nothing you can say is as effective as throwing a book.

 

16.   What is the most embarrassing song on your ‘Get Psyched’ playlist?

Probably ‘Dirrrty’ by xtina Aguilera. Its embarrassing because it’s not current, grammatically dumb, and an insult to redman.

 

17.   Which celebrity do you hate most for no reason?

Amanda Peet. She doesn’t do anything wrong. I just hate her.

 

18.   Amy Adams vs. Isla Fischer

Trick question: there is no difference.

 

19.   What would you do with a Snuggie?

with my snuggie, I do all the things I’m too emotionally unavailable to do with people.

 

20.   Any questions?

why is rachel so nice to me? why is my grammar so bad? why do i have to turn 29? why god why?
