If you woke up one morning and realized you were all-powerful, what is the first thing you would do?

Find some discredited hack to speak to you, in my name, all while misinterpreting my message and instead asking you for money so he can drive a car nicer than yours and live in a house thrice the size of the one in which you dwell.
What challenges stand in the way of your ideal lifestyle? How are you working to overcome them?
Presented by Intel, Sponsors of Tomorrow.
That pesky thing called employment is the biggest barrier. That, and mortgage payments, insurance costs, utility charges, and grocery bills. The need to satisfy those things -- in the form of working -- gets in the way of my ideal lifestyle, which involves drinking beer at noon, while playing with my dog and wife, enjoying our ocean-side view before taking naps and later making gourmet dinners, swimming in said ocean and later sipping heavy glasses of aged whisky while being rubbed down by high-priced escorts draped in skin without pores.
Oh, and watching sports on TV at some point as well.
What is the biggest mistake people make on a first date?
Not checking for the Adam's apple.
What is your favorite classic video arcade game?

Aside from the usuals like Frogger, Asteroids, and Missile Command, I would say I spent most of my time in front of this thing:
This, however, is a very close second. Hard to believe it's been 4 years since I took this photo at Pinball Pete's in Ann Arbor.
I played the shit out of some pinball and tabletop hockey too, but this question is about video games. Tron was always one of my favorites, as was Punch Out, and the classic Atari football game, the one with the glass tabletop and the track balls that were like bowling balls. The players were actually X's and O's, and you had, like, 4 plays from which to select on offense. Loved that fucking game. They had it at Pete's for a long time, as well as the Tempest machine, but on my last visit there in 2008, both of those units were gone.

What one thing, without fail, puts you in a bad mood?
The song in a child's heart. Man, I'm getting tired of that shit.
If you were sent to prison for an undefined amount of time, what would you miss most?
Sponsored by “Inside Guantanamo” on National Geographic Channel. Premieres Sunday at 9P et/pt.
The overlooked freedom I long enjoyed of NOT being forced to take it in the ass under the stairwell. I would miss that greatly. That, and the blueberry scones.
If money didn't matter, what job would you most like to have?
Submitted by Rainbird.
Freelance demolition.
