1. Follow-up to a question from Episode 1: If you could spend one day as a member of the opposite sex and a different race, would you stay closer to the places you currently frequent, or would you try to spend your time in a place where more people like your current form would go?

Hmm, I'd probably hang around here. It would be an interesting sociological experiment to see how things look from the viewpoint of someone completely different from me.

2. Follow-up to a question from Episode 4: Of the following three types of presidential candidates, which type would you be most likely to vote for in 2012:
A) Someone who supported all of your concerns and got every bill you supported passed …but was unscrupulous and often lied to get where he is.
B) Someone whose political views were nearly the opposite of yours, who was only able to pass a handful of bills you didn't want passed…but who was completely honest and ethical all the time.
C) Someone who was middle of the road, passed bills that tended to favor compromise more than any one side of the issue, and was usually (but not always) ethical and honest.

I'm almost always on the side of compromise and working together--so long as we're not stupid--and I recognize that people aren't always perfect. Even choice B can't be honest and ethical ALL the time; it's just not humanly possible.

3. Follow-up to a question from Episode 12: You learn that your best friend's spouse is carrying on an affair, and that person realizes that you know the secret. He or she begs for time, promising that he (or she) will reveal all to your best friend. How long are you willing to give the cheater to confess before you will step in and let your friend know yourself?

I'll give him (or her) a ten-minute headstart....

4. Follow-up to a question from Episode 15: If you had to give up one of your five senses, which one would you be most unwilling to live without?

I could probably lose anything but my eyes. Not by choice, of course.
Or, wait, am I supposed to pick "the one" I would give up first? In that case, taste.

5. Follow-up to a question from Episode 27: What would you say is your biggest character strength?

Bluntness. No one in my gene pool bothered to stand in line for tact.

6. Follow-up to a question from Episode 33: Which seasonal or holiday movie do you least look forward to this time of year?

All. Of. Them. I'm not a re-watcher. I can make it through "Scrooged" and some other versions of "A Christmas Carol." That's it.
