Some of my favorite things:

Favorite color: Blue

Favorite flavor: chocolate

Favorite soft drink: Pepsi, unless I'm in Atlanta, then it's Coke.

Favorite snack food: the original Barnum's animal crackers. Mmmmm, animal crackers.

Favorite pet: Anything that's not a cat.

Favorite dog: Airedale terrier.

Favorite animal that doesn't come when you call it: Lampropeltis Getula Californiae. (California Kingsnake)

Favorite food: seafood; particularly clams, oysters, muscles, shrimp, lobster, King crab legs. Sushi.

Favorite sport: Basketball. team: Blazers originally, but everybody left. Then Houston, but Drexler retired. Then I liked the Knicks...but they sucked. Currently Utah. Love to see them win the title, but only with Malone and Stockton. (Deep down I've always liked the 1989 Pistons. Ssshhhh.)

Favorite pastime: Vi-dee-o po-ka!

Favorite city: ...I want to wake up in the ci-ty that ne-ver sleeps....

Favorite place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there: ...on the board-walk in Atlan-tic Ci-ty....

Favorite place to visit: Any beach, except Santa Monica Beach.

Favorite movie: "Schindlers List"   If you have bypassed this one for any reason, it's your loss, as I doubt that there will ever again be a film produced that is as powerful as this one. If you are afraid of your own emotions, this one will be tough to get through. Regardless, do yourself a favor; watch it without interruption or distraction. 

Favorite artist: Billy Joel, Elton John

Favorite TV shows:

 from the '50's....."Alfred Hitchcock Presents", "Burns and Allen", "Life Of Riley", "Honeymooners", "Jack Benny".

 from the '60's....."Twilight Zone", "Mission Impossible", "Andy Griffith", "Dick Van Dyke", "Bonanza".

 from the '70's....."All In The Family", "Barney Miller", "Mary Tyler Moore", "Bob Newhart", "Candid Camera", "M*A*S*H".

 from the '80's....."Roseanne", "Gary Shandling", "Family Ties", "Cheers", "Night Court", "Nightline".

from the '90's....."Friends", Ally McBeal", "ER", "Real World", "48 Hours", "Politically Incorrect", "Dennis Miller Show", "Chris Rock Show". "Tom Greene Show".  

from 2000......"The Sopranos", Survivor".

from 2001......"Sex and the City", "Six Feet Under", HBO's Project Greenlight", "Curb Your Enthusiasm". (killer year for HBO)

from 2002......I don't know so much about what I like this year, as much as I know what I'm getting sick of: Reality shows. If there was anybody who wasn't aware of how idiotic most people can be, we are ALL now aware, so Enough already!

from 2003......Even more reality shows this year....and I'M SICK ABOUT IT! I don't even know their names anymore. The worst of the worst is "Big Brother". BOR-RING. It seems HBO still has a lock on the best shows around, including "Project Greenlight". Too bad HBO's season length is only about 12 minutes long. P.S. In the interest of being one of the masses: I kinda like "Everybody Loves Raymond". (It is always dangerous to admit you like a #1 show, especially when you constantly allude to the idea that the average person is a dope.)

from 2004......Enough with the reality shows! MOST of them are awful and/or boring. A rare exception to this is "The Apprentice". A footnote: the granddaddy of these type shows, the "Real World", has been dead for years. HBO continues to reign supreme with the best programming on television---and I don't think that's just because they have the green light to say the "f" word. 

from 2005.....The best shows remain on HBO. It's worth mentioning that many of the great shows that aren't on HBO also aren't on the big three networks. Fox News continues to, with the exception of Bill O'Reilly, beat that slanted conservative drum beat. The fact that they say "fair and balanced" makes the idiots among us think they actually are "fair and balanced". I'll never understand how people can so flagrantly apply a double standard to life the was partisans on both sides do. Surely, I digress. The best of the year: "Six Feet Under", "The Apprentice" (Trump, not Martha), "The Comeback", "Breaking Bonaduce", "Real Time with Bill Maher", 

Favorite "60 Minutes" broadcast: the original....uh....Sunday's broadcast.

Favorite "Dateline" broadcast: Hmmmm, Tuesday---no wait...Wednesday.

Favorite fast food joint: White Castle

Favorite department store: I be like'n Macy's. All that tradition, don'tcha know.

Favorite TP: Charmin (1-ply, double roll)

Paper or Plastic? Paper

Pet peeves: Restaurants with big, loud "Happy Birthday" routines; Beanie babies; the attention paid to Paris Hilton (whom I don't think is the least bit attractive).
