4. You are given naming rights for a new High School in your community. What do you name the High School?

5. For the next week, whenever you are inside (including whatever mode/s of transportation), you have to choose between it being 84 degrees or 55 degrees the entire time. Which do you choose?

1. Mashed
2. Land, bare land, somewhere, wherever I can get the most of it
3. Back to the Future
4. Blue Sky High
5. I'm an idiot who can't read and failed another test...

my real answer is 55. Easily.

1) Mashed. Real potatoes with real gravy is the best thing ever.
2) Pay off the house
3) Jurassic Park
4) Get Smart
5) 55. 84 is too hot for Mrs. 99

1) Sweet Potato Fries
2) Get a bunch of stuff done on my house and then replace vehicles for myself, my wife and my daughter.
3) B
4) Bill Self High School
5) 55, I have lots of warm clothes.

1 - mashed (though i woulda chosen sweet potato fries had that been an option)

2 - land somewhere

3 - Jurassic Park

4 - Gutter Memorial High

5 - 55…can always put on a sweatshirt

1. Tater tots.

2. 36 holes at Kiawah Island Ocean Course for me and 7 friends (two 4somes)...should run about $20k-ish all in. All new golf clubs for me $5kish. And a slight used SUV at approximately $75kish. Boy, burned through that money quickly...the smart answer is put it in an investment account for my kids future college tuition, but that's no fun.

3. Jurassic Park. I hope I get eaten by a dinosaur.

4. Bill Self High School

5. 55 degrees. I can bundle up and shed layers when outside.

1. Mashed but I eat fries more often - I think the scarcity ( 1x every 6 weeks? ) of mashed potatoes helps keep it at the top. A good mashed potato on Thanksgiving, around XMas and Easter really amplify this category for me.
2. House reno - if I can just pay a contractor all that money up front
3. Groundhog Day
4. KCrim High
5. Inside? Yea. 55.

1, baked. the classic with butter, sour cream, and chives
2. I am breaking the rules and investing and donating rather than exclusively
"buying."
$10k to my church.
$7k into my daughter's Roth IRA.
$10k to add AC to my house.
$30k for solar panels & storage.
$1k to have the Honda Scooter fixed.
$5k in some fun extras I'd love to have from the hardware store (e.g. rototiller, updated locks on the doors, some power tools I do not really need).
$3,300 to my favorite local candidate's campaign.
$5k to each of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) Association, March of Dimes (premature births), and Trevor Project (suicide prevention for LGTBQ+ youth).
$18.7k to specific, rigorously tested groups that Need additional funds at this point in time to turn out additional Democratic voters in key locations for November. I know two groups who need the money at this point in time, so I would be upping my gifts to them.
3. 9 to 5. Hopefully I would have the opportunity to be around the three stars (Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, and Lily Tomlin).
4. Some important minority from history that does not get enough attention. There is a lot of underground railroad history around here, so maybe something related to that.
5. 55 degrees

1. hash browns
2. pay off the house
3. jurassic park
4. Rydell High
5. 84

1. A, b, c, g depending on the rest of the meal. Sometimes baked potatoes are a wonderful meal on their own.

2. I’ll large size my combo meal at a fast food restaurant. I’ll give the remain $4 to the next homeless person I see.

3. I need to know which makes the most in residual income for those that negotiated such things into their contract, and make sure I do so.

4. Trump High School. Home of the Orangemen.

5. 55.

1. mashed, when Overlander gets back with the goat cheese

2. buy a large Tomashi Jackson painting made with sand from the San Luis Valley

3. This Is Spinal Tap

4. Dolores Huerta High School

5. 55 degrees

Hey, its' not my fault that the closest goat cheese is in Albuquerque

My job requires typing. I might change my answer to 84. 84 is not that uncomfortable. I can have a fan, right?

1. Mashed
2. Buy a Conn Virtuoso Artiste Bass saxophone, a 1967 Pontiac GTO convertible and a Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme
3. Groundhog Day because it is a classic. No restrictions, Holy Grail
4. Wilt Chamberlain Speed Dating Academy
5. 55, because covers and sweaters.

1. Hash Browns (with onions)
2. Hookers and blow. (Duh)
3. Close Encounters (Spielberg and Dryefuss)
4. Gutter's High (Duh) Or Donald J. Trump Memorial High School.
5. 55. Unless I can use a fan at 84 - right Dr.?
