What story from your wild-and-crazy youth would nobody believe about you today?

Heh, These QotDs are great.  Here are some truths that you'd never believe I actually did

1) Sang a capella in front of a bunch of people "The Rose" originally by Bette Midler

2) Allegedly stole a couple cars, but allegedly put them back.

3) I was the head baker at my boarding school and I loved my giant Hobart mixing machine

4) I've done a 3 day solo in the southeastern desert of Oregon

5) I've built and slept in a snowcave

6) I've actually snowshoed

What was the most embarrassing hobby you've ever had?

Heh, funny one.  I don't know if I would call it a hobby, but when I was the ripe age of 15 and the year was 1985, I was known to be really handy with a sewing machine to peg jeans.  Wow, I can't belive I'm posting this.

What is (or would be) your DJ name?

JPeasy, I've also been known to be called PStein when some thought incorrectly that I was Jewish, but still had a funny ring to it. 

If you came with a warning label, what would it say?

Yikes!  Who's picking the QotD and how the hell do they know to ask such good questions?

Props to Ben T for a painfully good answer to the best breakup song QotD.

As if that question wasn't tough enough, now comes another question aimed right at me and my current wonderful situation.

My warning label would be "Warning, Shock Label Attached"  "Keep upright, level and free from jarring forces"

What's on your Top 5 video games list?
Submitted by mileena.

I learned about this QotD from Sippey's blog and I also enjoyed his answer for number 1.  Mike doesn't know it yet, but I've done exhaustive research on MAME cabinets and authentic spinner controls for games like tempest, arkanoid, etc.  What Mike also doesn't  know is that I have 37 DVDs full of ROMs and such and that yes, Tempest was one of the sole games that drove me in so deep into the MAME/ROM/Emulator world.

Now for my own answers:

1) Guitar Hero II - Already played this, and I can't wait for my own copy.

1.5) Guitar Hero II Wireless Flying Vee guitar with 'feather frets' baby.

2) Grand Turismo Mobile for PSP

3) Project Gotham 1, 2, and 3.  I guess that's 3 games.  I never bought an Xbox or Xbox360, but I've always wanted to play these.

4) Command and Conquer 3 - One of the best games ever made.  They take their time, but every new installment in that series always pushes gaming in general forward.

5) Unreal Tournament 2007 - Again, purely for gameplay value.  Not the must stunning visual masterpiece one can have with a video game, but the pace is great, and different play modes make this game something I'm wanting..
