Sometimes sharp, never flat, always natural...Scott "Botch"

What do you do for a living?
I'm an explosives engineer for Air Force ejection systems, and also serve as an Ammo troop in the Air Force Reserves.

How long have you owned your FZ6?
364 days, tomorrow is our 1-year Anniversary!

What other modes of transport do you have?
A 1991 Toyota pickup with >200,000 miles, an '01 Saab 9-3 convertible, and Rossignol skis.

If you could have any bike what would it be?
Ewan McGregor's 50th Anniversary Triumph Bonneville, with the polished copper tank!

What are your hobbies apart from the bike?
Nature photography, skiing, gourmet cooking, woodworking, part-time musician.

What is the best place you have visited on your travels and why?
Waterton National Park (it's the Canadian half of the U.S.'s Glacier National Park). Scenery is stunning, and the critters are equal citizens and not afraid of humans.

Describe yourself in three words?
Tall, boring, intelligent.

If you could redesign any household (including garage) appliance what would it be and why?
I was gonna say wine-cork removers, but if all winemakers would just switch to twist-tops, all would be well!

Which invention in history would you most like to have come up with?
Post-It™ notes!

If you ruled the world, what is the first thing you would outlaw?
Incumbents.

If you were forced to entertain us all at the Forum Christmas party - what would your talent be?
I'd have to re-form my last band Puddlestone, and make you folks dance yer arses off!

Snow or beach?
SNOW!

Windows or Mac?
MAC!!

F1 or NASCAR?
I don't watch auto racing, but since getting my FZ I've enjoyed watching MotoGP.

Which track or album rocks your boat?
Steely Dan's Aja is the finest album ever made.

What is your favourite film?
I'm not a big movie buff, but the Lord of the Rings series very closely matched what I visualized when I read the books.

Meat or Veg?
I subscribe to the Chinese food pyramid: one handful of meat, two handfuls of veggies, and three handfuls of rice.

What is your favourite beverage?
Kronenbourg, a lager from the Alsace region (which alternates as a part of France or Germany, every 50 years or so). I also love winetastings.

And finally, your number one rule in life?
Nothing matters, and what if it did?

Thanx for sharing Botch! The answer for foods if great!

The wine corks of today aren't so bad though... all synthetic!

You know "Post-It" stickies were invented by a priest?

He tried the idea on his bible and when he dropped it, some scientist saw the little stickies and went, "So THAT'S what I can use my cheap-ass glue for!!"
