Did you enjoy university? What was your favorite class?

I loved it. The Classic department actually had their own mummy and I got to be in the room when they were unwrapping it. I also took a senior level class that taught the history of the Roman Empire just by the coinage. You can tell alot from the gold or silver level in a coin. I found all that kind of stuff fascinating. I wrote a really good paper at a lower level course and the proff asked me to join his advanced class. He was in his 80s, the dictionary definition of a Univercity Professor and he would talk to me about Roman history and government. Sent me on the search for books that lived in the bowels of the library system. I loved it all. I miss it actually. Good Question.

You're imprisoned on an asteroid for the rest of your natural life. Beyond the usual supplies to sustain you, you are allowed five movies to entertain you in your isolation.

Which ones would you pick?

Legends Of The Fall
Dr. Strangelove
Golden Voyage Of Sinbad
Mask of Zorro
Donnie Darko

Youre allowed to emigrate to just one country. Where do you go and why?

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...

The border of Austria and Switzerland. In fact I want those orphans from the Sound of Music to run by my house singing everyday. I love Saltzberg and Vienna. Austria, old world Canada.

I meant all the best things about Canada with old world European charm.

If you don't have your Masters, you should go back. Maybe get a Phd. I loved university too. I didn't finish, but it was wonderful.

Belle said...

I forgot to tell you, I went to university when I was 45. There is an advantage to going when you are older. I planned to be an archivist. I love ancient history too. If I hadn't had a family I would have become an archaeologist. It sounds like you would enjoy that also. Go dig us some ruins, Kal.

But but...they are always haunted, those ruins. I've seen enough Scooby Doo episodes to know that.

If you could have any superpower, but just for one hour, which would you want, and what would you do with it?

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...

Time travel. I wouldn't mess up the timestream too much. Just gather up some toys and talk to a few people.

If you could have an afternoon with one author, alive or dead, who would it be and why?

Sebastian Black said...

What's your favorite hat you've ever worn?

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...

Sara - Stan Lee, the creator of Spider-Man and so many other great comic book characters. He never tires of telling the stories from the old days and he still has the twinkle in his eye.

Sebastian - Wendy's used to have their workers wear these pimp hats and one night I grabbed one off the head of the guy at the drive thru window. That was a sweet lid.
