If you were a millionaire, how do you suppose your feelings on homelessness would change? I don’t suppose they would change significantly. If i were a millionaire, i would pay off my debts, save a good hunk and give the rest to the world. It would all get recycled somehow. Money isn’t really real anyway. Homelessness may be related to money but it is more of a result of social stratification. Brain aneurysm. We’re all done for. Let’s drink.
When you were 10, what did you want to be when you grew up? Everything and anything. Or an actor. Whichever came first.
Where is the farthest you have been from Louisville? Southeast Asia.
What is your main rule to live by? the rule that is golden.
Do you like roller coasters? hella yes.
If you found $20 in your coat pocket, what would you buy with it? Beer. Delicious snobby beer. Immediately.
When is the last time you used a telephone book? I know not of this witchcraft.
What was your first car? Her name is Fluffy. She was born a poor black child. She can fly, but only when no one is looking.
If you could visit any location in the world, where would you go? Belgium/Nederlands.
What needs to be invented that hasn’t been invented yet? kitten mittens
What is your biggest fear? Besides falling to my death, the ghost of Randy “Macho Man” Savage.
If you were a professional wrestler, what would your gimmick be? going America all over everyone’s asses. Along with the classic Blanka brain-muncher move. i would be a pop-culture reference machine.
On a scale of 1-10, how guilty do you feel when you kill insects? When they are:
- causing no harm: 9
- causing harm as a defense mechanism: 9
- in attack mode: 2
If someone was making a movie of your life, who would play you? the love-child of Meatwad and Master Shake
What was your best birthday present? Power Rangers Bday party at Discovery Zone.
What is the meaning of life? Cheese.

Years ago when I lived in Clifton my roommate and I frequented HBC-Frankfort quite often. One time a barista who waited on us quite frequently took our order. She asked for my name, but said she remembered my roommate’s. We sat down and waited for our drinks. I got mine and sat back down. The barista then called out, “Pam, your drink is ready.” When no one claimed it, she repeated it. Again, no one claimed the drink. The barista then looked at my roommate and said, “Pam, you’re drink is ready!” Now, my roommate’s name is nowhere close to sounding like Pam. So, I have no idea where the name Pam came from. We all had a good laugh about it! Now, the HBC-Douglass Loop is my HBC home base. Being only two blocks away from you guys is quite dangerous in the best sense of the word. Love you guys! You’re awesome!
