Thanks to Anna Żylińska! (I did slightly edit one question, though)

1. Suppose you are a parent (let's suppose because not all of you are already parents). What is the most devastating or scary thing for a parent concerning upbringing?

We have actually just discussed this with my colleagues at work :). The conclusion was: it is hard to name one thing, but certainly the upbringing process is always somewhat harmful - to the parent and... to the child. And if someone was to think of all the hardships, they wouldn't have children for fear of doing some harm to them. This in turn would mean depriving oneself of a wonderful experience and life achievement, so people just forget about scary things and do their best :)

2. What piece of clothing wouldn't you ever wear?

A very mini skirt

3. A cat or a dog? A pedigree or a mongrel?

A cat or a dog. A mongrel, unless some pedigree one was in some danger and needed to be saved.

4. Who is the most intriguing villain you have ever heard of?

Most of them are. Difficult to name one.

5. What 3 movies would you nominate for the Oscar of all times reward (best movie category)?

1. "Frida" by Julie Taymor for inspiration (out of several I chose this one, as most uplifting),
2. "Mighty Aphrodite" - Woody Allen, for the fact that I couldn't stop laughing,
3. "Burned with the Sun" (or whatever the ~English title would be) by Nikita Michalkov, for absolutely everything.

1. The vision of my 14 y.o. daughter getting pregnant at a junior high school orgy.

1. Suppose you are a parent (let's suppose because not all of you are already parents). What is the most devastating or scary thing for a parent concerning upbringing?

Well I am a parent. Nothing creeps me out more than the thought I might survive my own child.

2. What piece of clothing wouldn't you ever wear?

Girly stuff. I own a dress (A dress, one that is), and about two skirts, one of them a part of my business suit.

3. A cat or a dog? A pedigree or a mongrel?

A cat. Any cat except those freaky furless ones.

4. Who is the most intriguing villain you have ever heard of?

Joker. And maybe Vlad Tepes.

5. What 3 movies would you nominate for the Oscar of all times reward (best movie category)?

I would need a top twenty really, but off the top of my head these would be

From Dusk Till Dawn

Snake Eyes (mainly because of both Nicolas Cage and Gary Sinise...)

Thank you, Anna. I'm in a flat mood.
1. Suppose you are a parent (let's suppose because not all of you are already parents). What is the most devastating or scary thing for a parent concerning upbringing?
I'm not a parent yet. I would have the usual scares about any suffering.
2. What piece of clothing wouldn't you ever wear?
Well, let's just say I wear boxers and I'm perfectly satisfied with that.
3. A cat or a dog? A pedigree or a mongrel?
Okay. Here's the thing. Someone asked me why I don't like animals. I do. I love animals and I'm interested in them. But to me an animal in the house might as well be a bat or a zebra. Your dog is the same as if you came over and I had a bat in my coat pocket, and I took it out to let it fly around you. Or a zebra walking around. "Casey! Casey! Get down!" That's what it's like to me. That's what I think when a dog starts jumping on me or slobbering or whatever else. The same as if I had a zebra and it started jumping on you and I was fake indignant about it "Casey! Tsk! Haha he wont stop jumping on people." Our mom lectures me about how they save people's lives in fires, etc. Pfft. They probably started the damn thing, I tell her (without the "damn").:)
4. Who is the most intriguing villain you have ever heard of?
Oh a lot of them. Some of the world's leaders from the past are boring by now. Some of the criminals we've read about are just plain scary.
5. What 3 movies would you nominate for the Oscar of all times
People here always mention Casablanca or Citizen Kane as the best movies of all time. I couldn't choose, and I haven't watched many movies lately.Joj Y. edytował(a) ten post dnia 04.06.10 o godzinie 15:07

So my fourteen-year old daughter has been asked to a party and she says "Dad, I'm off out now" and I look up and she's dressed like a Ukrainian prostitute.
2. What piece of clothing wouldn't you ever wear?
Something with writing on it
3. A cat or a dog? A pedigree or a mongrel?
Is this for stewing or frying?
