40 Questions

Kevin did it, so I too will answer 40 questions of varying interests. Now, by question 30, you probably will start wondering when it will end, but if not, give your answers in the comments.

1. What time is it: 11:36 a.m.
2. Name as it appears on birth certificate: Timothy Ryan Butler.
3. Nicknames: No “true” nicknames. Just call me Tim.
4. Piercing: None — I avoid pain and things like needles that bring pain.
5. What is the most recent movie you've seen in the theatre? The Incredibles
6. Eye color: Blueish.
7. Place of birth: St. Charles, Missouri
8. Favorite foods: Potatoes, pizza and other things that insure I'll never become an Atkins-ite.
9. Ever been to Africa: No, and I don't have a desire to, other than perhaps to see Egypt.
10. Ever been toilet papering: No.
11. Love someone so much it made you cry: Yes.
12. Been in a car accident: Yes, but (thankfully, thus far) not when I was driving.
13. Croutons or bacon bits: Bacon bits, unless they are really good croutons.
14 Favorite day of the week? Friday — the only day of the week I don't have to worry about getting up at a given time the next morning. This past week I enjoyed reading the Da Vinci Code until about 1:30 A.M., something I can't do on other days.
15. Favorite restaurants: Lewis & Clark's (St. Charles), Faraci's Pizza (Manchester), Wooden Nickel (Branson), Devil's Pool at Big Cedar (Ridgedale [Branson area]), Red Lobster, Hen House (Bourbon).
16. Favorite flower: Star gazer lilies, irises…
17. Favorite sport to watch: None, but if I must pick, I guess baseball. Unless I can just say “Winter Olympics.”
18. Favorite drink: Water (followed by coffee and iced tea).
19. Favorite ice cream: Freshly made. Chocolate, real vanilla bean, blackberry and the like are all good. My favorite ice cream treat is a chocolate ice cream soda, however.
21. Favorite fast food restaurant: There is only one possibility for such an obvious question… White Castle.
22. Color of bedroom carpeting? Green
23. How many times did you fail your driving test? None.
24. Before this one, from whom did you get your last email? My mother.
25. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card: I wouldn't purposely max out my credit card just to max it out (I have used the full credit of it once, but only because I simply prefer the security of buying with a credit card and then paying for that over using a check, should the transaction go wrong). But, back to the question… probably CompUSA.
27. Bedtime: Between 11:30 P.M. and 12:30 P.M., typically.
28. Who will respond to this e-mail the quickest: N/A
29. Who is the person you sent this to that is least likely to respond: N/A
30. Who are you most curious about their responses to this questionnaire: Sure, if anyone else responds, I'll be interested to see that.
31. Favorite TV shows: I'm a classic TV kind of guy: I Love Lucy, The Beverly Hillbillies, I Dream of Jeannie, Dick van Dyke Show, etc.
32. Last person you went to dinner with: family.
33. Ford or Chevy: Neither, but probably Ford. If I had to buy an American car, it would presently be a Chrysler product, however. Otherwise, I'd go with a Toyota or VW.
34. What are you listening to right now? Savior by Steven Curtis Chapman. Getting ready to listen to a dramatic recording of Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God by Jonathan Edwards. Update: I am now listening to the sermon.
35. What is your favorite color: Green.
36. Lake, Ocean or river: Lake.
38. Time you finished this e-mail: 11:59 a.m.
39. Which came first God or Evolution? God is by definition the First Cause, the uncaused causer, the Ultimate, so how could anything else come first? Microevolution would obviously come after life; macroevolution, even if it was proven, would also come after the Ultimate Reality. A supreme being that came in to being through something else would be contingent, and therefore not supreme.
40. How many people are you sending this e-mail to? No one. Zero. Nada. Zip.
