| 1. Are you the PJ Thompson who posts to … ? | ||
|
The PJ Thompsons I Am The one at pj-thompson.com, the one on LJ (but not LJWorld.com), the one on Dreamwidth, the pj_thompson on Twitter, one of the ones on Amazon in the U.S., the one on RT Book Reviews. I also occasionally post comments as NotThatPJ on some sites. And that’s about it. Watch this space for updates—but don’t hold your breath. PJ Thompsons I Am Not The one on Facebook, the one on MySpace, the one on YouTube, the one at pjthompson.com, the one at LinkedIn, the one on Twitter (although I am the pj_thompson on Twitter), the one on Helium, the writer in medical journals, the one on Yahoo Answers, the basketball player, the ones on TravelPod or Epinions, the Chiropodist, the condominium specialist, the one on Creative Commons…the list is fairly endless. Can’t seem to spit in any direction without hitting a PJ Thompson. We are an army. We are mighty. |

| 2. What's the deal with "Today's Mystery"? | ||
| I love mysteries of all sorts. I love collecting them and puzzling over them. I propose to post an irregular series of mysteries this year (2011). I propose it, but we’ll see if I can accomplish anything like that. Life has proven to be unpredictable in past months, so any promise I make will have to be rather half-baked. Some of these mysteries will be historical, some will be fantastical, others will be more mundane; some may have happened to me or people I know, and some may exist in that land between fact and fiction. I will leave it to you to decide which is which. | ||
| 3. What's up with the "Journey Around My Room" deal? | ||
| Inspired by Xavier de Maistre's book of the same name, I will be journeying around my sitting room/writing room as the mood strikes me and reflecting on the larger life meanings of the things I find there. The things themselves are not important—they are just objects—but hopefully those remembrances and reflections will be of interest. Another irregular series that I will probably keep up with . . . irregularly. | ||
| 4. Which is your favorite Beatle? | ||
| When I was ten, it was Paul. When I was thirteen, it was George. Now that I'm a bit older, it's John. Ringo never had a shot, poor boy. | ||
| 5. What's in those sealed files that earned you the label of Danger Gal? | ||
|
Well, there was that spot of bother just after the war when it looked like Chiang Kai Shek might actually beat back the rebels led by Mao. He did have the alliance with the aliens from Zeta Reticuli, after all. They're such nasty bastards, though. The Zeta Reticulans, that is. (Although the Maoists weren't exactly milk maids.) The ZR's just couldn't be allowed such deep inroads into the governance of Good Ol' Planet Earth. Much worse than the Red Menace, I assure you.
The rest, I'm afraid, is still classified under penalty of death. One sometimes has to choose between two less than optimal outcomes. That's the way it works in the shadow government. The masses have no idea how hard it is working for the Trilateral Commission, or the sacrifices we have to make so they can continue in their illusions...But I digress. |

| 6. If you had to attempt to throw a ball over a landmark building, what building would you pick? | ||
| This place, definitely: Movie Palace | ||
| 7. What was the craziest thing you ever did? | ||
| Jumping into the mosh pit at a Dead Kennedys concert in the early 80s. I can't remember if it was during "Holiday in Cambodia" or "Kill the Poor," but I do remember that it was right after Jello Biafra announced to the audience, "Somebody out there can spit far." | ||
| 8. (Question redacted) | ||
| The answer is, "Not in that order." | ||
| 9. Mac or PC? | ||
| Definitely Mac. | ||
| 10. What's with the monks in fedoras? | ||
| That's between me and my web designer, but you may want to hover your cursor over their disembodied heads. | ||
