[MickeyLee]

*dusts off the interrogation chair. screws in a fresh bulb*

Ladies, Gentlemen and the Gender Variant i am very pleased to announce the return of the much missed, ever beloved Spotlight Threads.

Mr Nicenycdick has been kind enough to offer up his brain to picking for our entertainment.

the rules.
1. for the next 24 hours you can ask him anything you'd like to know. he can answer in all seriousness or he can bullshit his way through to play it for laughs.

2. after 24 hours he'll pass on the hot seat to the next victim/participant.

3. Mr/Ms in the spotlight it's your job is to find a someone willing to sweat it out under the spotlight's glow. it's mannerly to PM the person first to make sure they are willing and available.

i think that's it. so enough ramble. Mr Nicenycdick the floor is yours. let the questions begin.

ml.

[nicenycdick]

Great choice, ML! Both in re-starting the spotlight and choosing NND. =o)


1. What is your greatest pleasure?
Writing a song...cooking a great meal...entertaining...holding a baby...walking a new city...a slow handjob. There are so many!

2. Do you have a favorite quote?
No...should I work on that?

3. A lazy, rainy day spent cuddling in bed or a day of surfing and sunning at the beach?
If I had to choose from just those two, it would be a lazy, rainy day spent cuddling in bed. I am not a beach person.

4. If you could invite 5 people over to dinner for a night of good food and conversation - who would choose?
Einstein, Da Vinci, Genghis Khan, Julius Ceasar, Thomas Jefferson

5. Do you have a hero? If yes, why that person?
Wow...a hero! I've never thought about that. Hmmm...a single mother in the Bronx, working all her life and sending her 3 kids to college? Every immigrant who has left everything behind to build a better life for his family? Why? I admire those unsung heroes who overcome personal challenges and create a better world. Nobody sees them, nobody applauds them...they just keeping doing it day after day, year after year.

6. In the 70s, what was your hairstyle - winged, fro'd, permed, or other? :biggrin:
Damn it! You just had to ask this questions! I had a 'fro. Yes, that's right, an Italian kid from Brooklyn with an afro. Go ahead...laugh.

7. Did you ever visit Times Square back when it was seedy and full of sex shops?
Yes, I did. Enough said.

8. Perfect or Perfectly Flawed?
Oh, absolutely: Perfectly Flawed! Who can trust perfection?

9. Have you ever read a book that challenged your perceptions or changed your life?
Yes. Ha Ha...write your question better next time.

 

[D_Fiona_Farvel]

:biggrin: Please name the book, and tell how it changed your life and/or challenged your perceptions? Is that better?

1970s: Acid, Thai Stick or Quaaludes?

Did writing fact patterns give you a migraine?

Is the saying, "If you can't find something to live for, you best find something to die for", true?

What is sexy?

Michelle Obama or Jilly Biden - which would you hit?

Do you speak any languages other than English?

What is your favorite piece of art?

Can I have your recipe for "gravy" with bragiole?

Is the fact that I called the above "gravy and bragiole" indicative that I, as a Black woman, have dated too many Italians? :08:

 

[nicenycdick]

:biggrin: Please name the book, and tell how it changed your life and/or challenged your perceptions? Is that better?

Two Books:
The first is Guns, Germs & Steel, by Jared Diamond. I used to believe that Europeans conquered the world solely due to advanced technology. Diamond posits that the East/West geographical orientation of primative societies across Euro-Asia facilitated trade and the spread of technology. This is in contrast to the North/South geography of the Americas and Africa. This, of course, simplifies the book, but it did change my understanding of how culture and societies develop and why the world is the way it is now.

The other book is Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension, by Dr. Michio Kaku, the co-creator of string field theory. It proposes a new way of seeing (or not seeing, as the case may be) the world and its basic construction. Can it really work this way?

1970s: Acid, Thai Stick or Quaaludes?
Weed...only.

Did writing fact patterns give you a migraine?
No...the process plays to my need for creative logic in life.

Is the saying, "If you can't find something to live for, you best find something to die for", true?
Absolutely...for what other reasons are we here?

What is sexy?
An enthusiastic woman.

Michelle Obama or Jilly Biden - which would you hit?
Michelle Obama...I am not fond of blonde.

Do you speak any languages other than English?
Some Italian and Spanish...enough French to order dinner in Paris...enough Russian to find the train...enough Turkish to feel welcome.

What is your favorite piece of art?
The Prisoners, by Michaelangelo. These scultures are mounted in L'Accademia in Florence, Italy and depict bodies seemingly breaking free from the stone. They fascinate me.

Can I have your recipe for "gravy" with bragiole?
Yes.
Bracciole: Flatten a 1lb thinly sliced round steak cut to the desired size (you can make one large Bracciole or many smaller ones). Seperately sautee a half pound each of ground beef and Italian sausage meat (casing removed) in a skillet until browned. Remove from heat and pour into a large bowl. Mix in a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, three tablespoons of bread crumb, two tablespoons of grated parmagian cheese, a teaspoon of dried oregano and about 10 finely chopped fresh basil leaves. The mixture should be moist enough to spread without being runny (adjust by adding olive oil or breadcrumb as needed). Spread on a layer of the mixture on the flattened steak, roll into a tube and tie up with cooking twine. Brown on all sides in a large skillet in a little olive oil. The Sauce (my family doesn't call it "gravy"): brown three chopped cloves of garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil on low-medium flame. After a minute, add a diced onion and sautee until clear. Place the Bracciole in the pot and add three large cans of San Marzano tomotoes (a/k/a Italian Plum), a tablespoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of ground pepper and a tablespoon each of dried oregano and basil. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fork tender.

Is the fact that I called the above "gravy and bragiole" indicative that I, as a Black woman, have dated too many Italians? :08:

Well...it means that you dated a lot of Italians who probably trace their roots to Naples. My family is Sicilian and we always called it "sauce".

 

[nicenycdick]

"Is the fact that I called the above "gravy and bragiole" indicative that I, as a Black woman, have dated too many Italians?"

You can never date too many Italians...

1. you write music in your head, what instruments do you play?
Guitar, Bass, Piano

2. you are a well travel person, was the travel business or pleasure or both?
Both, but mostly pleasure.

3. what are fact patterns and why are you writing them?
What I assumed Sweet Ass was referring to was the Statement of Facts required in legal briefs (this not only informs the Court of the facts involved, but if done correctly, sets up the logic steps for the legal argument you are about to make). She is aware that I practiced law for many years and she has an interest in such things.

4. are you hard-core nyc italian or more old worldy italian?

Old-worldly, even though I am from Brooklyn. For instance, I have been outside the borough of Brooklyn, cook more northern Italian food than southern, have a passing knowledge of ancient history, have friends that are black, gay and Jewish (not all in one...how many burdens can one man carry!) and think men and women are equals. Oh...and I can write a complete sentence.

5. what's the grossest thing you ever ate?
Hmmm...bulls testicles...shrimp heads...McDonald's Fish Sandwich.

6. how do you feel about redheads?
Intrigued

7. peter pan or captain hook?
Captain Hook, without a doubt!

8. best way to get around the city: feet, bike, cab, private vehicle or public transportation?
Feet...there is just too much to see and feel to seperate yourself in a vehicle.

9. pancakes or french toast? coffee or tea?
French Toast and Coffee.

10. did ya have fun the spotlight?
I did! I did!

11. what do you miss about NYC from 25-30 years ago?
Being 20 years old...and the music clubs in the Village.

 

[nudeyorker]

When I had my spotlight I learned a few things about myself and a few other members.
What if anything have you learned in the spotlight?
Have you enjoyed it?
Is there anything about yourself you would like to share that you have not been questioned about?
