WEIRDEST THING YOU’VE EVER EATEN
One day the Japanese owner of a local sushi restaurant presented me with a plate-sized, grilled fish head. Noticing my shocked expression, he stated, “It’s a delicacy and honor to be served a fish head.” Not wanting to offend, I picked at it with my chopsticks – it wasn’t bad. In fact, it was quite tasty! Until he came back and scolded, “You left the best part!” He grabbed my chopsticks pried the eyeball out and as my jaw fell open, popped it into my mouth. He only uttered one word – “chew”. So maybe fish eyeball is actually the weirdest food I have eaten. At least it was cooked.

WOULD YOU RATHER TALK LIKE YODA OR BREATHE LIKE DARTH VADER?
I have seasonal allergies so on some mornings I feel like I already sound like Darth Vader. I’m a huge fan of Tom Kane, the current voice of Yoda in The Clone Wars, and I got to meet him at Dragon Con last year. If I talked like Yoda, I would probably get to meet George Lucas and travel around meeting other Star Wars fans. Talking like Yoda might make it hard to get a date, however. It’s a good thing I’m already married.
