If you could only eat ONE cereal for the rest of your life, which one would you pick?

That's just a mean question.

If you had one day to spend $100,000 - and you had to spend it totally selfishly - what would you buy?

Hmm. Probably pay off my student loan in one fell swoop. I'd still owe like $10K after that but at least I could pay it off even more slowly.

Or it'd be a down payment for a house.

Or I'd spend it on a new car.

Or I'd create a family trust and put half of it in the bank ... under the mattress.

Should we just be handing over the car keys when kids turn 16? Why or why not?

What are you, high?

Film & TV writers are on strike, which means everything except reality TV could halt production.  Do you support the strike?  Are any of your favorite shows in jeopardy?

Of course I support the strike. Studios get millions of dollars in revenue and only give a tiny fraction to writers (the creatives who, quite frankly, create shows, movies, etc.) Why wouldn't you want to share the wealth and keep your people happy and productive?

No favorite shows in jeopardy- they're already cancelled. :P Maybe PUshing Daisies but I can wait for DVD.

What do you have, what do you need and what do you want?

I have some new stuff I bought yesterday.
I need more time before the semester starts.
I want to be able to buy a house in LA.

You have $100 to spend online in the next hour.  How are you going to spend it?

I think I can reserve a couple of bowling lanes online, yes? Ok maybe not.
Well then, I think I'd order some coconut-macadamia nut tea and pineapple black tea.
And then I'll just loan the rest through Kiva.org.

I bet I have a bunch more but these are my red flags.

What modern book do you think will be read in high school by the next generation of kids? 
Submitted by Tom.

In high school? Harry Potter. :p Yeah yeah I give high schoolers zero faith.
 
I think Howard Zinn's The People's History of the United States should make it on the list.

During my soph year, my English teacher was a first-year and she spent the fucking semester on Julius Caesar. I thought, there's got to be something wrong here. My friends in other English classes are reading a book a month. WTF? (No, I wasn't in remedial English, thank you.) I wish I had the ovaries to criticize her to her face. At that point, I think I had two marks in my school record for... confrontations...

I love that the system deletes your school record once you turn 18. Niiiiice.

Which band or artist which is no longer performing or alive would you have loved to have seen?

Well, I was en route to the Roxy to buy tickets when I heard on the radio that THAT DOG broke up.
