About this Lincoln Trudeau character
You've probably gotten at least one of these emails before: it asks for lots and lots of things about you and you're supposed to fill it out and send it to friends so they can learn more about you. Well, this is my responses to one I got in Oct. 2001 and I thought I'd put this on my site for those who want to know more about me. Here's the complete email below:
JUST FOR FUN! Read the last person's responses, change all the answers so
that they apply to you. Then send this to a whole bunch of people you know!
INCLUDING the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you will learn
a lot of little known facts about your friends. Remember to send yours back
to the person who sent it to you.
1. What time is it? 7:39pm
2. Name as it appears on your birth certificate: Lincoln Trudeau
3. Nickname: linc, lincy and the rest are...private.
4. Parent's names? Ernestine Lynn Vallee, Rene Ernest Trudeau (see the "Ernest" connection...creepy. Or is it?)
5. Number of candles that appeared on your last birthday cake? 26 (in Oct. 2001)
6. Date that you regularly blow them out: Sept. 2. Until I get Alzheimers. Then I'll ask a cake store to deliver me a cake every day so every day will be my birthday. I can't wait. But I'll age at an astronomic rate. Uh-oh. That rhymed. I'm doomed for sure.
7. Height: 6'2"
8. Eye color: blue...apparently. Some say greyish or greenish sometimes. There's a red spot in my right eye (in the whitish part). Apparently, that's nothing to worry about. If the red spot grows hair, then I'll get worried.
9. Hair color: light brown
10. Piercings: No. Although once a friend stabbed me in the arm with a pen. He and I don't talk much now.
12. How much do you love your job: We're just friends.
13. Birthplace: North York, ON
14. Hometown: Scarborough and Pickering
15. Current residence: Ajax, ON
16. Been in love? Yep. Twice. It can be great...or it can make you kill people. Hopefully I don't get the second kind. I hate jail and death. Both suck.
17. Favourite Place you have been: I'm not sure I should tell...oh, you mean physical location, like a city or a type of structure or theme park? In that case...British Columbia
18. What is your favorite childrens book? Bartholomew and the Oobleck (Dr. Seuss)
19. Top or bottom? That sounds too kinky a question to answer in the company of friends. Oh wait. This isn't some dominatrix question thingee is it? Oh man. Now matters are worse (Yoda said that once. And now he's dead).
20. Ever loved somebody so much it made you cry?? Yes
21. Ever been in a car wreck?? Not a wreck but it was one hell of a crash anyway.
22. Type of vehicle you drive? My girlfriend's Geo Metro -- the metallic green "jellybean". It's easy to park and also really small...I think if I got in a crash with a motorcycle or a pedestrian carrying more than a dozen donuts, we'd lose.
23. Favourite Salad Dressings: Italian, Caesar
24. Favorite Number: 7 (James Bond connection...perhaps other connections too but the Bond one will do nicely)
25. Quote from a song: "You talkin' loud but you ain't sayin' nothin'" (sampled at the start of the Fugees song, "The Score", also paraphrased from Chuck D of Public Enemy in a Public Enemy song "Hazy Shade of Criminal"...may have been said before that too)
26. Favorite Holiday: Give Lincoln Lots of Money Day (man, that's a day I NEVER forget!)
27. Favorite Foods: shrimp, veggie dogs/burgers, pasta primavera
28. Favorite day of the week: Saturday
29. Favorite song at the moment: Massive Attack "Angel", Geto Boys "Still", Iommi and Philip Anselmo "Time is Mine"
30. Favorite TV Show: Simpsons (OZ is a close second) -- CLICK HERE TO SEE MY SIMPSONS QUOTES PAGE (ONE OF THE MORE THOROUGH COLLECTIONS OF SIMPSONS QUOTES YOU'LL FIND ON THE NET) . I also like Friends, CSI, CSI: Miami, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel (some of these have been updated since October 2001).
31. Fav fruit: strawberries
32. Least favorite thing: kidney stones (I imagine they don't taste good either)
33. Favorite Sport to watch: hockey
34. Fast Food place: does Subway count? Well it does now.
35. When was your last hospital visit: July '01 -- could barely stand from apparent food poisoning and needed two hip injections (demerol and buscapan -- sp?)
36. Favorite drink: Margaritas and Caesars
37. Favorite Beer: NoBeer (ah, that sweet lack of beer taste)
38. How many kids? ZERO
39. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? If I'm alive and uncrippled, the rest is all details
40. Person you got this e-mail from? Gina
41. Which single store would you choose to Max your credit card? Any store that sells guns. Then I can rob another store and pay off the guns I just bought on credit. Oh wait. I shouldn't tell people about this. Hmmm...um...pretend I said "The Gap". That sounds like a normal answer.
42. What words or phrases do you overuse? That's ridiculous.
43. Most annoying thing is: Nitpicky bastards who should move to Nitpicky Island and starve to death because none of the food will ever be good enough for them anyway. Take that! Now there's a reality TV show I'd actually watch.
44. Best thing: Love, friendship and really good luck
45. Name the person/s that you are friends with that lives the farthest
away? Lanna (she's actually my cousin) -- at any given time she'll be in Australia, India, Mexico, Japan or somewhere else that's fun, exciting and distant. Sometimes she's even here!
46. Bedtime thought: Bedtime (ie being in being) or sleeptime (ie actually going to sleep)? There's a world of difference. Well sleeptime thought is, "Umm...bleh...sleep...good...bleh" or similar incoherent nonsense. My bedtime thought is, "Well if I'm here to sleep, I'll have my usual sleeptime thoughts. Otherwise..." Actually in fairness to you, the reader, I won't complete that thought. Things could get ugly.
47. Who will respond to this fastest? Oh goody! A guessing game! Um...um...oh this sucks. Let's play strip poker instead. And I'll cheat.
48. Who is the person who is least likely to respond? Gina (why would she fill out two of these? What kind of question is this anyway?)
...Here's a few things I tacked on from a similar list-email I got a little
while ago...
WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?
Some self-help book, a book on method acting and a book by George Carlin (in no particular order)
WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSEPAD?
My mouse (wah hah!)
FAVORITE GAME
Roll The Dice And Give Lincoln Ten Thousand Times The Amount Rolled (man, that game rules. But no-one ever wants to play). Okay, I'll mention real games. Favourite PC video games are Half-Life (and Counter-Strike and Team Fortress Classic online, where I've wasted many hours of my life), Return to Castle Wolfenstein (arguably the original Wolfenstein 3D was the first first-person shooter to really get the genre going...from Wolfenstein came Doom, Quake, etc. -- these were all made by id Software -- and later on came the aforementioned Half-Life plus two of the three N64 games I mention below...oh yeah, back to Return to Castle Wolfenstein -- it is a fantastic game also and has enemies that are very smart, even smarter than those in Half-Life, which is no small feat), Grim Fandango (the best adventure game I've played -- one of the few with great voice acting also), Mastermind (simple yet lots of fun) and Pharaoh. For Nintendo 64 (which I still occasionally play) I like Perfect Dark, Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Goldeneye. My favourite board games are Monopoly, Life, Risk and Clue. There, now THAT was thorough. Since October 2001, other favourite video games have been Grand Theft Auto 3, Max Payne (both for PC) and Halo and Buffy for Xbox.
FAVORITE MAGAZINE
Rolling Stone I guess. I'm not a big magazine person. For online magazines, there's ZENtertainment, Backwire and IGN.
FAVORITE SMELL?
Cinnamon
FAVORITE SOUND?
Orgasmic delight (my G-rated favourite sound is the sound a million bucks makes when it lands in my bank account)
WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD
Hurting people who are close to me
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU FIRST WAKE UP IN THE MORNING?
Morning? WAKE UP? Me? Hahahahahahahha! Sorry. Um-hum. HAHAHAHAHAHH! (well I would get up early for acting or some other entertainment industry-related thingee but for a REGULAR JOB? HAHAHAHHA!)
ROLLER COASTER, SCARY OR EXCITING?
Exciting.
HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE?
Until Call Display shows who it is. Then I decide whether to answer, not answer or go to the person's house and burn it to the ground (or, if I'm really spiteful, to burn the house while sitting on a nearby rooftop with a sniper rifle to pick off anyone who makes it out intact)
WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN LIFE?
Love, friends and not being known as a serial killer
STORMS - COOL OR SCARY?
Good unless I'm strapped to a weathervane with an iron pot bolted to my head. Then they kinda suck.
WHAT TYPE WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?
First car I drove was...actually I think it was a Lincoln. My dad's. Some people find this funny.
IF YOU COULD MEET ONE PERSON, DEAD OR ALIVE, WHO WOULD IT BE?
A billionaire who is racked with guilt, has no next of kin, is heavily drugged, is about to finish the final revision to his will and about to die. I walk up and say, "Son?" and he says "Daddy!" and I'd say, "Yep, it's Daddy Linc." And he'd say, "I'll leave all my money to you!" and then he dies. And I get it all. Wah-hah.
WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN?
Virgo
DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI?
If they're steamed or covered with cheese, yes.
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED WHAT WOULD IT BE?
My job would be to continue to pump blood into my own body. I would let my heart do all the work and get paid by the beat so every time I got mad or stressed, I'd get paid overtime. And the best part is, the only way I could get fired for lack of productivity is if I was dead and nothing would matter to me at that point.
IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU PICK?
I'd dye it invisible and see what I look like bald. And then I'd run screaming into the night. Unless it was daytime. Then I'd wait till dark and THEN run screaming into the night.
IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL?
Half full. So I refill it because half full glasses piss me off.
FAVORITE MOVIES:
DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT KEYS
I guess. When I was lasted tested I did 87 wpm so I guess I must be doing something right.
WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED?
The floor. The bed is flat against the floor. Hmm...well that question didn't result in any cool answers, now did it?
ONE THING YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE ABOUT YOURSELF:
Not too much. I'd like to be the same me but with a lot more money. Not necessarily insanely rich, but it'd be good to have enough money to not have to worry about money again.
NAME A PLACE YOU WOULD MOST LIKE TO VISIT:
The Valley of Endless Money. Or, failing that, Australia.
NAME A SECRET FROM YOUR PAST:
Once I killed Al Capone...oh wait, that was syphillis that killed him I think. Well that was an embarrassing mistake. A secret from my past eh? Hmmm...oh wait, the question said NAME a secret from my past. It didn't say to describe it. I shall name my secret "Linc's Magical Delightful Secret Unavailable To The General Public Except Possibly Upon Request" That will do.
