Q. What career would your parents have chosen for you?

Q. Have you ever tanked onstage?
A. Many times, worst three (1) I did a private gig for the Texas Parent Teacher's Association. I followed a one-hour presentation on the future of school board politics, and performed in the front of a conference room of 12 people, fluorescent lights and all. I did about 20 minutes (or was it an hour?). It turns out it was miserable for them as well: the group asked for their money back. (2)I was booked for a show in San Antonio only later to find out that it was Latino Comedy Night. I stepped on stage and someone yelled "You're white!" And, its true I am. I bombed magnificently. Ever heard the sound of 1500 people not laughing? Deafening. (3)I did a private gig for a sorority at the University of Texas. No one listened at all. Suffice it to say that they had about as much interest in my comedy as they did their chastity.

Q. Everyone's a geek in some way. What kind of a geek are you?

Q. What song is trapped inside your brain right now?
