-Profession: Information Attendant
-Favorite Jay-Z song: Big Pimpin'
-Is there a dignified beauty of having every car in its place in a parking lot?: Absolutely! Some people park cock-eyed and that gets me angry. No one will park next to them and then it throws off everything. I tell people who have a problem not to take their parking frustration out on me.
-A kyle is a Scottish term for a straight--a narrow, typically navigable waterway that connects two larger bodies of water. How would you traverse one?: Either with a six-foot inflatable alligator raft or a refrigerator door, Tom Hanks Castaway style.
-After what period of time in the booth will you lose your marbles and become permanently unable to interact in society again?: Yesterday? Probably another eight months for me. Please check back.
