It's time for the Cheddar X! 1. Do you have a pet name for your significant other? If so, how did it come about?
Yup. On my blog she's known as "Lovely Wife", mostly because that's what she is - my lovely wife. In private she's either "Sweetie" or "Sweet Baby", once again because she is. Not that she's a baby, of course, she's a grown woman. But she's my baby in the sense of the 50's motorcycle greaser movie. Or like the famous Butthead line "Uh...Hey, baby".

2. What was your favorite cartoon growing up? What's your favorite cartoon now?
Bugs Bunny. I suffered through things like Tom & Jerry and the Roadrunner. I never met a Hannah-Barbera cartoon that I didn't despise. Now I'd have to say that my favorites are still the old Bugs Bunnies though with three kids I tend to see mostly Sponge Bob and Rugrats with the occasional Rocket Power for good measure.

3. What is your best way to save money?
Not spend it. I'm very good at this. The secret is to not have any cash on you at any time and have your spouse keep the books so you're never certain there is money available for you to actually purchase anything.

4. What was your most frivolous purchase in the last couple of months?
Hmmmm.... I guess that would be some fancy string cheese from Harry's Farmers' Market. I'm pretty low maintenance and just plain don't buy a whole lot of stuff.

5. What word would you like to see banished from use forever?
I was going to say "metrosexual" but I just thought up a funny one liner that I'll have to make use of later and it would be hypocritical of me to say the word should die and then use it myself now, wouldn't it? So I'll go with "Al Franken" instead.

6. What is the strangest thing about someone that has attracted you? (I.e. the way someone walked, the way they chewed, along those lines)
Strange attractors? Hmmm...can't think of any, really. I love Lovely Wife's accent but that's not really strange, it's just an accent. At the time I guess I appreciated the way that Psycho Ex would dive to her knees to suck off any guy who looked at her but that was when I was the guy doing the looking and this particular habit of hers ended up irking me to no end.

7. What was your most memorable New Year's Eve? Why?
This last one, mostly because I don't remember any of the other ones. They all sort of blur together and I can pick out a piece here or a piece there but really they're all just parties.
