Oh, FOURQUE

FbL tagged me. Proving once again that you don't have to be a chick magnet to be a chick-quiz magnet...

*sigh* And what's with the "great curmudgeon" bit--is that like the Great Panjandrum?

4 Jobs You Have Had In Your Life
Okay, you already know about most of the helicopter stuff (but not everything–I’ve gotta save *something* to write about), so I figure you’re asking about things like
1. Bartender. I was only seventeen when I started, so I didn’t drink the mistakes...hey, I was a tall, quiet kid–really...
2. Window washer. Exteriors, three stories and higher. Only fell once and I’ve liked boxwood hedges ever since.
3. HazMat Disposal Compliance Inspector. Translation: I cut open 10% of the bags to insure the stuff within had been properly pretreated by the contractor. Still got my HEPA III gear, somewhere...
4. Apiarist. By the time I was twelve, I'd been stung more often than somebody who answers all those "Dearest Beloved Pay-Pall" phishing spam-o-grams...

4 Movies You Would Watch Over and Over
1. Das Boot. Just to keep Lex happy.
2. Castle Keep. Just to keep John happy.
3. Cross of Iron. Just to keep the grunt grognards happy.
4. True Grit. Got a soft spot for fellow curmudgeons.

4 Places You Have Lived
1. Suffolk County, Long Island. Back when there were more potato farms than housing tracts.
2. Can Tho, in a small country that doesn’t exist anymore. Spent a lifetime there one year.
3. Weatherford, Texas. Mary Martin’s house was right around the corner.
4. Savannah, Georgia. When the *cough* paper mill was *cough* still operational. *cough*

4 TV Shows You Love to Watch (when I watch--which is seldom)
1. Stargate SG-1
2. Red Dwarf (when they dig it out of the archives--which is also seldom. Smegheads...)
3. Wings (well, d-uuhhh)
4. Repeat...

4 Places You Have Been On Vacation
1. N’Awluns.
2. Sub-Parisian France--Burgundy and Cognac. The denizens like us, don’t like the EU, and think Jacques Chirac is France’s Bill Clinton--and they don't like *him*, either. But they’re very fond of anybody who speaks well of Lafayette.
3. Montreal, North Vermont.
4. Cape Canaveral and environs. *No* Disney World. *No* Epcot Center. Just rockets and rocket men.

4 Websites You Visit Daily--in no particular order and not limited to those four.
1. BCR Labs
2. FbL’s house
3. AFSister’s Place
4. Barb’s Hootch
All in self-defense. I hung around here one week and they caught me napping when they launched the SugarButtons Offensive.

4 Favorite Foods
1. Turkey
2. Arroz con pollo
3. Chili (mine)
4. Mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Caveats: coffee’s not a food, it’s an essential nutrient. And pepperoni pizza is a condiment.

4 Places You Would Rather Be Right Now
1. Marana, Arizona--in 1862.
2. Sitting in the Little Texas Tavern in Kings Cross, Sydney--in 1969.
3. The Smithsonian. The Udar-Hazy Exhibit.
4. Heidelburg, sitting in a gasthouse 200 meters from the castle.
