THREE KID'S NAMES:
Instead of answering this question, I think it would be far more interesting to relate a conversation on the subject that transpired between myself and [livejournal.com profile] totalvirility and Donna Martin's Boyfriend senior year of college while we were hanging out on the steps of the Student Union. [livejournal.com profile] totalvirility was stoned off his gourd and started screaming that he was going to name his kid Tinky-Winky and give him the middle name Dolsky. NB: [livejournal.com profile] totalvirility's last name rhymes with Dolsky. Then, in another flash of epiphany, he announced that no, in fact he would name his child ! As in !Kung (and for those of you who didn't read Nisa in Anthro 101 or saw The Gods Must Be Crazy, ! is pronounced with a click of the tongue) and the child's middle name would be...and here he clapped his hands once. So the child's presumed name would be ! [clap] Rhymes With Dolsky. This organically evolved into an argument about whether the child in question would be acquitted of patricide (I maintained that it would).

THREE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE:
Again, I really don't think like that, it's like that 12 months question.

THREE WAYS I AM STEREOTYPICALLY A BOY
1. Fondness for knives and guns (and by the way I think it's weird that my friends find my knife collection "cool" yet are disturbed/grossed out by the fact that I like to shoot guns).

3. As far as hard liqour goes I only drink whiskey on the rocks

2. I am afraid of rats
3. I really like pink and sparkly things

2. Gael Garcia Bernal (also see how I am an incompetent starfucker)
3. Owen Wilson

THREE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO TAKE THIS QUIZ NOW:

1. Pnts
2. [livejournal.com profile] apropos
3. [livejournal.com profile] claudelemonde

[On Edit: People should actually have to guess which are the two truths, and which is a lie! So, guess!]
