Hot Seat Answers #56 - HollywoodLeo

A: Why do you put the Toilet Paper on the back of the toilet almost everytime, you know how hard it is to turn around for a fat guy like me, while still sitting on the damn seat to reach for that ****er!!

Before it was just out of habit, now it'll be out of spite.

B. What movie of 2008 you want to see the most?

This changes too much for me to think of one answer.

Right now it's the new Indiana Jones movie.

Of course I'll definitely want to see Saw V when it comes out.

C. if You are able to go to One Home Charger Home Game, and One Charger away Game which ones would they be?

Home game: Colts
Away game: If $$$ isn't a factor, still the Saints game because a trip to England would be cool.

1) You are Johnny Damon and it is December 2004. Despite coming off a World Series victory as a member of the Red Sox and knowing that the Sox are set up to win another in the near future, do you still jump ship and take the most lucrative contract offered by the Yankees?

I'm already a multi millionaire so I'm sticking with the team that has a better shot at the World Series.

Of course, the Yanks were no pushovers at the time either.

2) JFK assassination - Do you believe the lone gunman at the book depository theory or that multiple shooters were involved?

Eh, I don't really know one way or another what really happened, but I'll just say I wouldn't be overly shocked to learn that the conspiracy theories are true.

I do believe there was a 2nd spitter, however

3) Speaking of JFK, what is your opinion of Mrs. Kennedy's second marriage?

The fact that she got married or who she married?

Either way, I'm not all that opinionated on the subject other than that she was single and I wouldn't expect her to refrain from marriage for the rest of her life.

Don't be so modest.

1) When are you moving back to SD? The Pads need you!

Unfortunately, probably never.

As much as I love the Pads my immediate family is all here (Arkansas).

I do intend on making routine trips to San Diego every so often, however, as I did last year.

2) What was your most memorable experience in the US Navy, besides, sailing the seven seas with the Village People?

Rushing back to the ship after 9/11 and being on perpetual duty, and then rushing around South America for our home port change after they determined they didn't need our ship's help in NY.

3) Why are you so gawddammed inflexible in your thought processes? Lighten up dude and try to be less literal. But I do understand.

I'm not inflexible, I'm just strongly opinionated.

I've shown many times in the past to come to an agreement from the other P.O.V. if I'm proven wrong, and I always agree to disagree once it comes to that.

1) What makes Jake Peavy the coolest guy ever? (I know the answer, I just wanna see if you know it too )

His fire and intensity is like no other, his passion for the game, his loyalty to the team that drafted him, and the fact that he owns any batter that steps up to the plate.

Also, this is an added bonus.

2) What's the best/ coolest part about being on an aircraft carrier? The worst?

The best thing for someone who's never been on one would be watching the take offs and landings, but that grows old quickly after you've been on the ship for so long, and then quickly becomes annoying with the noise.

The best thing as compared to other ships in the Navy, is definitely the space and size of the ship. You don't really notice too much that you're out to sea on a ship that big.

Plus famous people come on board them more often. I saw a makeshift Blink 182 concert in the hangar bay during my first deployment. (I guess that can fit under RDR's question as well.)

Also, Conan O'Brien came on the ship.

The worst thing is being stuck in the middle of the ocean for weeks/months on end and seeing nothing but silver everywhere.

3) I think Matt Vasgersian s the best broadcaster in baseball. Do you agree or disagree with me and why?

I definitely agree.

He paints the best picture of the game, knows what he's talking about, knows how to carry a conversation to cover the otherwise dead time. (It's amazing the difference you see/hear in Mark Grant when he's broadcasting with Matt as compared to when he's with Steve Quis) and he's multi-talented, broadcasting for pretty much any sport out there.

I'm happily surprised he's still the Padres announcer.

1. How much time do you usually spend on the computer each day?

Too much.

2. If you could fight one member on these forums who would it be and why?

Dry1313 since I'm going to viciously murder him anyways.

3. If you could go on tour with any rock band who would it be and why?

Disturbed, because they kick ass.

1. After re-watching the Back to the Future trilogy for the millionth time yesterday, it still amazes me how director Robert Zemeckis' vision of the future (2015) from back in 1985 was so off. No flying cars, no 10-second inflatable pizzas, none of that stuff. What is your vision of today's future, say the year 2038?

I don't think it'll be overly "futuristic" only 30 years from now, but I'm sure....or at least hope oil powered cars will be a thing of the past by then.

Virtual Reality gaming systems might be around by then, or maybe around the corner.

2. What is the strangest thing that you have seen happen while working at the U.S. Passport office?

Nothing much really happens there, really. It's a pretty monotonous job.

But some funny names I've seen

Shittalk
Porn
Cowboy Bob
Bootstrap Bill
middle name: All The Mountains of Tibet

I may edit this post if I think of more

3. Have you ever tried to join the Navy SEALs? Do you think you'd have made it? How many pushups and situps can you do in 2 minutes?

Never did try out for the SEALS because I know I wouldn't make it.

The most push ups and sit ups I was able to do in a 2 minute span back then was 67 and 100 respectively (any Navy vet can tell you the significance of those numbers)

But now I probably couldn't do half of that

[HollywoodLeo]

Nobody asked, so I'm going to be nepotistic and pick Mr D next.

I'll post the thread tomorrow

Weren't those the max? Maybe I'm crawling in the dark, but I think I remember my dad saying something close to those were the max they allowed you to do in the test....

[HollywoodLeo]

Weren't those the max? Maybe I'm crawling in the dark, but I think I remember my dad saying something close to those were the max they allowed you to do in the test....

They aren't anymore (they've since raised the standards) but they were for the first 6 years I was in the Navy, yes.

No point in doing more than that.

And, to be quite honest, the max on sit ups dropped exponentially as I grew older.

By the time I was about ready to get out I was lucky to do the minimum of 55-60 in the 2 minutes.

I was still able to do the 67 push ups, though. Even though I kinda cheated on them. (Didn't always go all the way down.)

[Dry1313]

You got what you wanted Dry.

I did.

I really have been waiting for someone to kill me.

score *fist pump* i knew it. Yeah, there's no point in doing more than that lol. I can pretty much go forever on the sit-ups, but 67 pushups, going down all the way or not, is very impressive. Nice job.

He left Boston after the '05 season not after the '04 season.

Added a couple more names to the list in response to DK's 2nd question.
