What do you most hate sharing with other people?
The last of some snack.
If it's a meal, then I'm probably full, hence, no prob - take what you want. If it's a big bag of peanut M&Ms, and I'm on my last handful, then, yeah, I'll share, but I'll secretly hate you for it...for a little while at least.
The worst is when (1) I'm enjoying something really tasty, (2) I already know there isn't going to be enough to satisfy me, and I'd be reluctant to share some when it's all there, (3) the person who finally asks for some has been sitting there since I started, (4) and only asks when I'm my last bite or two.
This is a reflection of the fact that most people's biggest fear is that they won't have enough.
Music-wise, what was the first 45, single or download you bought?
Submitted by Paddy Melt Wagon.
This is going to date me, but what the heck, it was a 45 and it was "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper. Great song.
Would you go on vacation by yourself, and if so where would you go?
Submitted by Sean & Stefan.
I would go to Dublin, Ireland. I have been there before and the people are so friendly and it is very relaxing to visit! Plus, they speak English.

What was your worst hairstyle decision ever?
Parting my hair down the middle. Give me a break -- it was the '80s! Yes, it looked funny but at the time, I thought it was cool.
Since then, I've shaved my head, twice (first time by accident and the second on purpose) and, though it's a close call, I still believe the parting my hair in the middle was worse.
What set you apart from the rest of the kids at school?
Submitted by jks.
The fact that I was actually born in the same town as the school. No, it wasn't some fancy-schmancy boarding school; just plain old public school...but outside a military base. Everybody else was born somewhere else and moved there. I work for the military now, and same as when I was a kid, the response I get when people find out where I was born is "You were born in Sierra Vista?!?!"
How many TVs do you have in your house?
Zero. I never watch live TV. I have a projector & a satellite dish. I use my computer to receive the satellite signal and record it onto my hard drive and then I watch it later, via the projector.
I do have 3 computers, though, that are networked, and can all watch the shows that my computer records, so you could say that I have 3 TVs, in a sense, but not really.
How well does your name Google? Who are you up against? (Celebrities, etc.)
Submitted by Matt Blank.
Well, my last name, "Klepzig," Googles me as the 6th one down, and it's actually my blog on Vox, which is cool! If I Google with my first name, "Michael Klepzig," the first two results are posts that I've written for Slate & Techdirt, and the third is actually "7 Posts tagged "vox hunt"" and includes one Vox Hunt where I Google my name and captured the images and included them in the post. So the more I include "Mike Klepzig" and "Michael Klepzig" the more it seems to boost my ratings. Did I mention "Mike Klepzig" and "Michael Klepzig"?
I actually don't have much competition on the "Michael Klepzig" front, but on the "Klepzig" front, there's a Roland Klepzig & Co. LLP, Chartered Accountants and Registered Auditors, as well as K

What are you going to do with your tax return?
Submitted by KB.
I'm going to make a copy and put it in my records.
"Uh, is he serious?" is what some people are thinking...
