Subject: Fwd: Getting to know You

Okay, here's what you're supposed to do. Copy (not forward) this entire e-mail and paste in onto a new mail that you will send. Change all the answers so they apply to you. Then, send this to a whole bunch of people you know INCLUDING the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you will get a pile of get-to-know e-mails!

You'll learn a lot of little known (and sometimes scary) facts about your friends! Remember to send yours back to the person who sent it to you! READY?

NAME: Vin Tanner

SEX: Male

HOME: An apartment in Purgatorio that has good neighbors. (C'mon, they don't ALL carry guns and switchblades!)

HEIGHT: 5'10" or something

EYES: Blue

HAIR: Light brown, dark blond, whatever.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE TV SHOW? Cable programming sucks.

WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? Yosemite Sam

WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD: Being alone in a group of people.

BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD: Really laughing, with someone who's laughing, too.

THINGS TO DO ON THE WEEKEND: Ride my Harley. Fix my Harley. (Shut up, Chris.) Hang out with you guys. Spend some time with the kids in the neighborhood. Go shoot at the range.

FAVOURITE SOUNDTRACK: I don't know. Maybe the one from "The Long Riders," that Western with all the Keeche and Carradine brothers. Lots of bluegrass type sound.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THOUGHT OF WHEN YOU WOKE UP THIS MORNING? Where's my gun, I want that alarm clock dead.

DO YOU GET MOTION SICKNESS? Not since I was a kid.

ROLLER COASTERS DEADLY OR EXCITING? Exciting! Me and JD will go, while all you old guys lean on your walkers and watch. *g*

PEN OR PENCIL? Whatever's handy.

HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE? Soon as I can reach it.

FAVOURITE FOODS: Preferably cooked. *g*

DO YOU GET ALONG WITH YOUR PARENTS? Mom was the best.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A CRIME? Alright, who's running the background checks here...? LOL!

CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA? Both?

CROUTONS OR BACON BITS? It's food, ain't it?

DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE? Yup.

DO YOU SLEEP WITH STUFFED ANIMALS? This is bribe material, right?

IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY KIND OF PET, WHAT WOULD IT BE? A dog, a hunting or herding breed.

IF YOU COULD BE ANY TYPE OF ANIMAL WHAT WOULD YOU BE? Maybe an eagle. You know, fly high, telescopic vision, death from above. *g*

IF YOU COULD MEET ANYONE DEAD OR ALIVE, WHO WOULD IT BE? Mom> My grandparents.

FAVOURITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK: Whatever somebody else is buying. *g*

WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN? Why is that Jeff Foxworth skit running through my head...?

EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI? I paid for them, didn't I?

GUYS-IF A GIRL ASKED FOR THE SHIRT OFF YOUR BACK, WOULD YOU GIVE IT TO HER? Depends how much I've had to drink. *g*

GIRLS-WOULD YOU EVER ASK A GUY FOR HIS SHIRT?

IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED< WHAT WOULD IT BE? I think I would have liked being a mountain man in the Old West. Is that a job?

IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOUR, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Girl question.

IF YOU COULD HAVE A TATOO, WHAT AND WHERE WOULD IT BE? I already do, and you'd better be beautiful, or I'd better be really drunk before you'll ever find out. *g*

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE? Not so you'd notice.

DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM WEDDING: Never thought about it. Something fun.

WHAT IS ON YOUR WALLS IN YOUR ROOM? Big Harley poster. Big Indian poster. (That's a bike, not a person.) My framed arrowhead collection, which is probably worth about 20 years in prison. *g* That big Southwest watercolor print in a barnwood frame that you fellas got for me. A dreamcatcher that Mary Travis gave me. A Blackfoot peace pipe.

IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL? Dumb question. If it starts out full, then you drink it down half empty. If you only fill it half full to start, then its half full.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SNAPPLE? Anything but that strawberry crap that tastes like cough syrup.

ARE YOU A RIGHTY, LEFTY OR AMBIDEXTROUS? Righty.

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM CAR? A 1962 Harley Davidson FLH Duo Glide, all original!

FAVOURITE SPORT TO WATCH? Pretty much anything but basketball, golf or tennis.

SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU: Buck is a solid and steady friend, and a damned good man to have at your back.

OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU SEND THIS TO, WHO IS THE LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND TO IT? I'd say Ezra. This would be beneath his dignity. *g*
