"As they passed the rows of houses they saw through the open doors that men were sweeping and dusting and washing dishes, while the women sat around in groups, gossiping and laughing.
"What has happened?" the Scarecrow asked a sad-looking man with a bushy beard, who wore an apron and was wheeling a baby-carriage along the sidewalk.
"Why, we've had a revolution, your Majesty -- as you ought to know very well," replied the man; "and since you went away the women have been running things to suit themselves. I'm glad you have decided to come back and restore order, for doing housework and minding the children is wearing out the strength of every man in the Emerald City."
"Hm!" said the Scarecrow, thoughtfully. "If it is such hard work as you say, how did the women manage it so easily?"
"I really do not know," replied the man, with a deep sigh. "Perhaps the women are made of cast-iron.""
- L. Frank Baum, "The Land of Oz"

Mild, Medium, or Hot - depends on what it is. I usually go hot on salsas and stuff if I'm the only one eating them, medium if I'm accompanied by lightweights, to compromise. But I get the Mild sauce at Taco Bell when I eat there b/c I think it tastes better than the "Fire" or whatever the crap they call the hotter stuff.

Medium.
Medium.
All of the above, because I am a hot beverage junkie.
Tonic, but only if there's gin involved (this probably makes me evil); otherwise, "soda".
Garfield.
Batman.
Apple.
I've never seen any of the Star Wars movies. [insert look of shame here]
If we're talking about Batman, give me Christian Bale. Otherwise, Clooney.
USA! USA!
7-Up (though does it really matter?)
Salsa.
Dog.
Willie!
Jesse James, if only for the fact that he has a folk song about him.
I don't watch pro football.
CBS, with the exception of Lost.
I have antennae and a converter box. *high five*
Safari.
Twitter.
Yes?
of Hippo, though of Canterbury is pretty cool, too.
Commercials (see the previous statement re: pro football).
Basketball (my high school won state championships all four years I was there; I went to Baylor; I go to UT; my family all covets season tickets to the Rockets. the end).
Shephard (enough to know how to spell his name... :p)
None of the above--I use Gmail and archive everything in what may be a futile attempt to eventually use all my alloted storage space. Plus, you never know, you might need it someday.
