No, we donut have that particular day in the UK.

I did have two Sainsbury's Oatmeal and Raisin Cookies however.


Do you like Sundays?

It's okay, I guess. In essence, every day's a Sunday to me since I don't work or go to school or do whatever normal people do. However, since our temple only has services on Sundays, I suppose it's a special day in that context.

Do you give blood?

did it once. that's one BIG needle and i don't like needles. now i can't anyway due to being on chronic antibiotic therapy.

did you ever have a garage or yard sale?

I helped my parents with a garage sale once. Those garage sale customers starting showing up 6 am for a garage sale that started at 8am. .

How do you jam out to your funky tunes? (itunes, spotify, cd's, record player, opera singer you have locked in a cage etc...)

God, you're making me feel ancient by referring to spotify and itunes, both of which I know nothing about. Anyway, these days I listen to music either via Youtube or watching (and listening to) recordings I've made from the TV on an HDD player or on recordable dvds.


Have you ever had a letter published in a newspaper or magazine?

Spotify is definitely something I'd recommend giving a look in to. It lets you listen to pretty much any song you want for free. You can build playlists and they give you recommendation based on what you listen to.

I have not anything published in a magazine.

When was last time you laughed til you cried?

Would you believe there were only 4 times in my entire life I laughed like that? The last time was back in 1999 or so. It was during a monologue Steve Harvey was doing on HBO.

What's the last movie you saw?

I remember in 1989 describing to some people how a work colleague of mine had bet £1000 on a twelve year old horse in a race at Beverley (a track in East Yorkshire). Half way through doing so, I was overwhelmed by laughter as the absurdity of such a crazy action struck me, and was unable to finish the story, despite several attempts. (reply to tinky2's question)

The last movie I saw was Holiday Camp, a black and white film from 1947 starring Hazel Court, Jack Warner and Jimmy Hanley.


Have you ever gone back to revisit any of your former schools?

i went back to my high school to apologize to my physics teacher for saying that his course was fun but i learned nothing, because when i took the first term of college physics, i already knew everything.

what was your favorite subject in school.

English. Not literature, per se, but the technique of writing.

Do you take medication for anxiety or depression?

No, but I do take prescriptions to control my epilepsy.

Name three languages you want to learn.

Tamil, Farsi and Swedish (I do know some but I'd like to be really fluent because of my avatar).

Could you 'cut it' as a standup comedian?

Absolutely not..

Would you do well as a fiction writer?

Comedian? No way. Nine out of 10 of my jokes bomb, the others are funny, but an audience wouldn't sit through all the bad ones A fiction writer? Maybe, if I can get some of that fiction creativity back from when I was a kid.

How about a this or that. Would you rather be a comedian or a fiction writer, if you had to pick one?

I'd rather write fiction as, I have a good imagination.

Do you think there will ever be a time where someone ex actually creates a cure for autism and how would your react to news of this?

I doubt it. Too many variations, too many factors to create a "cure." They'd first have to figure out exactly what they're curing, anyway. You can't "cure" a way of thinking, but maybe "cure" a condition, like hypersensitivity or something.

If you could actually cure any disease/condition, what would it be?
