The time the glazed christmas ham made the trains run on time is my favorite, but I'll save that story for another day.

Why do I like Eric Clapton in Cream, but not when he went solo?

I'm starting to like juice less and less as I become older, its too sweet. One of the few I can still get into is Apricot nectar, but thats hard to find in the US if you want it to taste good. Thats why every Thursday morning I pack my duffel bag with a sweater and a matching hotdog, and catch the bus to Lisbon. The rest of the week I just drink tea, like any upstanding citizen.

As long as you like Derek and the Dominos, you're cool.

I'm 19, in the United Kingdom and study Literature. My name is Simon, but on the Internet I have previously gone by the name of 'Gonzo' and occasionally 'Captain Gonzo'. I still love the muppets, but I realised it was time to grow up and stop hiding behind the lovable big-nosed stuntman.

Obviously I like games and became aware of this site through Mixnmojo. I still dig the old adventure games the most and enjoy finding new underground creations in that genre, but I get excited about new stuff too, and play all kinds of different games. Psychonauts and Sid Meier's updated Pirates! are probably my most anticipated games of this year. Recently I've been getting retro and playing with the Sega GENS emulator, the old Megadrive (or Genesis if you're American) games are fun to go back to.

I'm also big on films (Spielberg, Leone, old Coen Bros., Tarantino, animation) , TV (favourite show ever = Futurama), and comics (which I also sometimes try to make). As a Literature student, sometimes reading lots of novels can seem like a 'bus driver's holiday' if you know that phrase, but I enjoy stuff like Pratchett from time to time.

Ah, an Irishman.

How is the good old Emerald Isle today, eh??? My great great grandmother was from Ireland. Well, she was from the UK, but it's all the same. Especially with the Euro Tunnel connecting them up now.

I hear you guys have alcohol made of potatoes? That's cool.

Hey, here is an interesting fact about Ireland: Ireland is the only Catholic Country in Europe. Well, except for the France, technically. Which is actually Godless.

It must be weird speaking gealic all day. Your English is pretty good for a second language. Are all your TV programmes in Irish too? Haha, and your video games! How bizarre to play Grim Fandango in Irish! Would they have an Irish Accent, or put on a Mexican one? Would they speak Irish with a Mexican Accent? Is that even possible?

No, seriously. They ferment the potato skins or something. I don't know how they do it, but they do make alcohol from potatoes.

And it's illegal, because the tribe leader wants them to drink Guinness.

Seriously.

That is how you make home-made vodka. You just distill a whole shitload of junk left over after dinner.

Perhaps you know not wot of you deal!

Yeah. Too bad you don't have a summer in Ireland. Ha ha!

Hey, did you hear about that murder on the news? The one in Piltown, Kilkenny? That was me. I mean, uh, that was right outside my house.

The one I used to live in before I lived in San Francisco, obviously.
