So I answer this as if Elise left the quiz for me. Or, to put it into interview form, as if Elise was asking me these questions. Since I've met her, I'll be able to answer some of them a little more honestly than if I hadn't met her (this applies to her mother as well, but the flip side of it.) If I've misunderstood, please let me know without the bright colors and big text. My nearsightedness thanks you, but now my brain hurts.
what is your name? Bruce Rose. If you want to know my full name, you'll have to guess. But, in the true spirit of my game, Bruce A. Rose.
what is your quest? I wouldn't call it a quest, but my immediate goal that requires a great journey is to visit all 50 states. Since I'm now at 49, it's time to come up with new goals. Future objective include driving Rte. 66 from Chicago to LA and Rte. 50 from Ocean City, MD, to Sacramento, CA.
what is your favorite kind of hat? beret, but bowlers and fedoras are ok. I also like those old-man-golfing hats, where the top clips to the brim... but I don't think I'll ever wear one.
how would I look in yellow chiffon? You're too tall to wear full yellow, especially if it's a bright or pastel. I'd laugh if I saw you in it... but I'd laugh at almost anyone in chiffon.
do you think I have a nice butt? It's ok... I'm not an ass. man. or anything. :-)
would you rather burn to death or die from dehydration due to excessive diarrhea (thats how she spelled it and honestly I don't know)? Fire. I like fire. I don't think I'd like to die by fire, but I know I don't want to die from dehydration (for any reason.) I'm not looking forward to death, but if those are my only two options, I'd choose fire.
who has tiny nuts? Haven't really been looking, but I'll keep my eyes out, if you'd like. Weirdo. (I really liked Andrea's answer... but I'll answer it as if I didn't have access to her wit.)
what color is puce a shade of? I'd describe puce as a blend of pink and lavender. So, it's a shade of red.
what is my mothers favorite color? Since I haven't met your mother, I can only guess... purple?
finish this statement: "shrimp should never be...." eaten. I'd have said 'eaten for breakfast' or 'at the breakfast table,' but I'm not a fan of shrimp for any other meal either. (I liked Talcott's second answer as well.)
