I met Denise when I was living in Salamanca. She was a great drinker and we’ve kept in touch a fair bit over the years. I always liked her.
I remember one night at the Chupateria after 5 or 6 shots of absinthe she asked me the oddest question, which is one reason I’ll always remember her: “Elliott, I’m really boring. How can I be cool?”
Anyway, she forwarded me this email and I decided to answer the questions:
Hey guys, Okay, here’s what you’re supposed to do…..and try not to be LAME and spoil the fun! COPY (not forward) this entire e-mail and paste it into a new e-mail that you can send. Change all of the answers so that 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 learn a lot of little known facts about your friends. Remember to send it back to the person who sent it to you.

I had no idea that you could juggle…
I liked this one. Learned some new things about you.
Porsche??? What happened to the Vector?
Also, I think a donor card is that little heart on your driver’s license that lets them start cutting you open and mailing your organs all over the country when you are about to die. Are livers supposed to look like raisins?
