Boredom and egotism a good match do not make. I wrote this little quiz for Alli to see how much she could get. Thought I'd put it up here too, just to see. And to make it sweeter, the first person with the highest score, I hereby do solemnly swear to buy you one drink of your choice the next time we are in a bar together. No cheating, though, I'm only buying for one, man. And yes, Benito in a bar, not at Circle K. Just email your answers to me at matthewd@gmail.com.

1. In what US city was I born? 1 bonus point if you can name the suburb.
2. Besides the one where I was born, in what other states have I had residence?
3. Name 3 of my ex-girlfriends. 1 bonus point if you include a nickname I had for them (pre- or post- break up, whatever.)
4. I read comic books, everything from mainstream well-known ones like Spider-Man to lesser-known independent ones like _________________. (Fill in the blank)
5. What’s the one chemical, non-cosmetic, non-food smell that I love?
6. How many dogs have I had? 1 bonus point if you can name the dead one.
7. In what city do I teach? 1 bonus point if you can name the school.
8. Who is my favorite Food Network TV personality?
9. What was my nickname for my first car? 1 bonus point if you know the model year.
10. I’m at an open bar and I can order anything I want for free. I have a designated driver, so I’m free to go nuts. Knowing me, what am I most likely to order?

Total of 15 points possible. Again, answers go to matthewd@gmail.com. Good luck! (And please ignore the basic, blatant egotism of this whole thing. Look at it as a chance for a free drink.) Booyashakah.
