1. Who is the hottest movie star?
Figures that the celeb-obsessed Tara would put THIS on a list. Bea Arthur WAS on my list, but she passed away recently, and that would be in poor taste. I don’t have a particular favorite, but some of the actresses I think are attractive include Rachel Wiesz, Keira Knightley, Emilie de Ravin. Hm, not a single American among them. Must be the accents.

2. Apart from your house and your car, what’s the most expensive item you’ve ever bought?
A time machine. It only works once, though. And I wasted it on going back in time to the moment where I was tagged with this meme. In the original time line, I ignored it which led to a chain of events which led to the end of the universe as we know it. I can’t explain why, but needless to say, I HAD to come back and Quantum Leapify this thing and right what went wrong.

3. What’s your most treasured memory?
Becoming a father. Yeah, I know, that’s the expected answer, but it’s true.

4. What was the best gift you ever received as a child?
My stuffed toy dog, Henry. I still have him, though he’s not in good shape these days. He’s better behaved than my cats, though.

5. What’s the biggest mistake you’ve made?
This time I arranged a date with what I thought was a beautiful woman. Turned out to be a guy in drag. You see, I needed a date to bring to my prom, so I did what any other high school kid would do, I called an escort service. All the high end attractive girls were way out of my price range, though. So, I asked what I could get for $25. They said they could give me what they called The Discount Package. Little did I know my date would be a guy! Boy, was my face red. On the upside, he was a good dancer and he did put out.

And that’s the entirely true story of how I met Dave Fowler.

6. 4 words to describe yourself.
Creative, pensive, funny, caring, honest, argumentative. Oh, you said four? You think I’m going to follow your rules just because you made them? Think again, Tara! Wanna make something of it?

7. What was your highlight or lowlight of 2008?
Losing my job. Man, that was awesome!

The actual highlight is not one moment but a collection of them including each time  my son says, “come, daddy” when he asks me to go somewhere with him. Meeting Sean Platt was up there, too.

8. Favourite film?

Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo… Or Magnolia. They’re so similar.

9. Tell me one thing I don’t know about you.

Writer Dad, Dave Fowler and myself are all one person. One incredibly busy person. Okay, the truth is that I am in fact, Hugh Jackman. I like to get away from all that Hollywood stuff, though, and slum it with the other blogger mommies and daddies. I like to think that it keeps me grounded. My PA (personal assistant, for you non celebs) and my butler say I don’t really need to slum it, though, as I’m a pretty grounded guy as is. In addition to being incredibly good looking and incredibly modest.

10. If you were a comic book/strip or cartoon character, who would you be?
Underdog. Just so I can have an excuse to play my theme song whenever I fly through the air or foil capers.

Now, the fun part. I’m gonna pass this on to eight of you lucky readers.

Tracy O’Connor, Patricia, Dan Miranda, Dave Fowler, Mike Goad, Marc, Matthew Dryden, and Kool Aid

Like what you see here? And no, I’m not talking about the naked Hugh Jackman shot. Then tweet it!

In the spirit of Halloween, and yesterday’s discussion on costumes, I’m putting out a call to all readers to show us your childhood Halloween pictures.

Yes, it’s a meme. But it’s a FUN meme (despite what kitty says)!

So dust off your old photo albums or call your parents and ask them to find the cutest or most embarrassing childhood photo of you in a Halloween costume. Once you find it, post it on your blog anytime this month. Once posted, swing by this post add a link to YOUR post in my comments section. On the week of Halloween I’ll post my own pic and a link to all participants’ blog posts. I’ll also post some of the best pics (with your permission of course).

If you don’t have a blog, feel free to contact me and let me know you’re interested and I’ll send you my email address so you can send me your photo(s).

If you don’t have pics of yourself, feel free to post pics of your children or even your pets (particularly cute cats or guinea pigs). The idea is to spread some good Halloweeny fun across the blogosphere.

as always, thanks for reading,

Blogger Dad
