Garth Brooks, "Friends In Low Places"

What made you laugh recently?

If you could be exceptionally rich, exceptionally gorgeous, or exceptionally brilliant, which would you choose, and why?

I would choose to be exceptionally rich, because the other two options are goals I might ACTUALLY achieve in my lifetime. Plus, being exceptionally rich can pay for my pursuit of the other two.

"Local Man Arrested For Being Too Pretentious"

What is your favorite purchase made in the last 6 months?

A Bachelor's Degree.

What reality TV show do you think you'd have the best shot of winning, and why?

If there was a reality show were music elitists squared off against each other for the crown of The Greatest Hipster in All The Land, I would win "Mr. Congeniality," as well as "Best Dressed." I would, however, fail at the "Favorite Ironic Musician" competition.

How has clear skin helped you to achieve your goals?

In theatre and in film, you can't get cast as anything but a teenager or a loser or both with bad skin. Therefore, my clear skin has helped me get work in the superficial industry that I am trained to operate in.

What achievement are you most proud of?

Who do you most admire, and why?

What is your must-do adventure of a lifetime?

If you were a superhero, what would be your name and super power?

If you win, how will you celebrate? What will you do with the $500?
