MCF is quizzin' us again:

1) What do you think will be the most popular Halloween costumes this year?
I'd imagine that there'll be tons of Joker costumes and Harvey Dent constumes out there this year.

With two new polarizing, high-profile politicians on the national scene, I'd bet that there'll be lots of people dressed as them. The Obama masks I've seen on the net look awful; that one I linked to looks more like OJ than Obama. And even though I didn't see any commercial costumes based on Sarah Palin's distinctive look when I searched the net just now, I'd expect to see a ton of homemade Palin costumes.

The fake Sasquatch news story from this August might cause an increase in the number of bigfoot costumes out there this year.

Personally, though, I don't think that any of these costumes can top the princess/wrestler look.

2) Do you recall the first time you received an e-mail, and what it was?
I don't even recall the first e-mail I read today.

3) What would be your ideal life after retirement?
I don't expect to ever retire. I just hope that my death occurs at home or in a medical environment and not at work.

But if I did retire, I'd like to spend my free days sitting on the porch, sipping a cold one and yelling at the damn kids to keep off my lawn.

4) Who are your three favorite recurring commercial characters?
I'd have a hard time picking three "favorites," I'm largely indifferent to TV advertising. But...

Joe Isuzu is probably the greatest ever.

The Burger King makes me laugh and creeps me out that the same time.

The odd series of 7-Up commercials featuring Orlando Jones was fairly funny.

And the "I'm a mac, I'm a PC" commercials are pretty good, especially the ones that make fun of the nightmarish hell that is Vista:

I've always knocked Macs in the past, like many PC devotees might do. But ever since the beginning of Vista's dark reign I've kinda wished I was a Mac guy.


SPECIAL BONUS QUESTION: Who made Blake black and why?
I'd guess that Blade is black simply because the character's creators envisioned him that way.

You misspelled Blade, by the way, but it looks like a simple typo. Just never let it happen again.

I will be RIDICULOUSLY impressed by anyone that gets the obscure Blake reference. :)

Got some good Halloween ideas from your answer too. I don't think I could pull off a Palin costume though...

We are going through serious David Leisure withdrawal. Is Izuzu even still around? Too lazy to Google right now...
