Favorite food: Tacos, as long as we’re eating on a beach post-surfing
Strangest thing I've ever eaten: Ooh, tough one. Probably those “mayonnaise”-slicked cubes of “tofu” I ate at a Korean restaurant once. I really have no idea what they were, but they were bizarre.
If I won the lottery: I’d work really hard not to be one of those people who win the lottery and then have to declare bankruptcy.
Funniest incident in my life: I tried to jump a Volvo on a mountain bike once. That was pretty funny…
Five things I would need to survive, if left alone on a deserted island: fresh water, food, something sharp, something hot, and David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest.
