Er, sorry what I said a couple of weeks ago about Canadians. I was just kidding!
What did you want to be when you grew up? a Pharmascist.
And now you're working with liquor? I work as the Inventory Manager for Beers, Coolers, Kosher & Asian wines for the largest single liqour purchaser in the world. I get to taste the product at least once a week & I actually have cases of product in my office. This summer will be my first summer in charge of beer and I'm desperatly trying to work ahead so I can be a full participant at HT.
Well, I'm glad that you've got your priorities in order. Recapping Big Brother is an ugly job, but someone has to do it!
What were mealtimes like for you as a child? Pretty calm. We were generally all home and the meals were always very waspish. Ham, Roast beef, pork chops. Our idea of Ethnic was Spagetti. Discusions were always about very cerebral.
You and I recently had a discussion about the the word "ethnic". You really think that the U.S. is less ethnic than Canada? Yes. Until you have been here you can't really know. In the US you have primarily two main ethnic groups, African Americans & Hispanics. Here that is not the case. We are much more diverse. More nationalities more languages and much more open and visible.
Did you ever like any of your school photos? No. I looked like a girl. Still do.Then I got acne.
You've got nice skin now, do you have a special regimen? Not really. Mild cleanser and then Aveno skin brightning that Albacore turned me on to. But really, my skin is still bad, just not as bad as it used to be.
What was your first date like? It was a group date and we went to an intelectual movie. It was Chinese & that's all I remember.
Were you shy? Very. I still am in a 'date like ' setting. Women are still a complete mystery to me.
That's part of our appeal!
What is in your vegetable bin? Carrots
What color is your car? Silver.
Do you drive much? I live in the burbs, I drive everywhere. Even to the store across the street.
Are you having a good hair day? Allways.
You do have really nice hair!
Mike, I recently heard you say that some people would consider you a "girly man". Is this because you are obsessed with grooming? I am obsessed with the way I look. It's a teenage years thing. Had bad acne, now not as bad, so making up for it. Last week I found a few grey hairs, so this week a trip to the stylist is in order to cover it up. Now I seem to be obsessed with staying in shape as well. I am so close to having a six-pack it's not funny.
What is your favorite cologne? Nautica Competition.
What is your middle name? Eric
What type of books do you like to read? Mysteries
Did you watch Scooby Doo as a kid? Not really. I found it kind of silly. Though it cracks me up that Cassey Kesem is the voice of Shaggy
What is your favorite type of cookie? Chocolate Chip
Mine too! Maybe Canadians aren't so bad after all!
