ABCs of Matt: Because I'm Bored at Work. Hat tip to Illinois' own Liz Elsen for doing it first. And as always, blank survey follows below:

A - Available: to change diapers for a small fee.
A - Age: Under 1 but over 100.
A - Annoyance: The long wait between seasons of LOST.

B - Braces: Never had them.
B - Birthday: Never had them.

D - Drinks: Dr. Pepper.

E - Easiest Person to talk to: Luke and Anya
E - Envy: Sounds like the name of a perfume.

F - Favorite Color: Dark green.
F - Food: Thanksgiving meal.
F - Foreign slang: Not sure if this counts but there used to be a rumor in the Marines that its a sign of disrespect when a Japanese person gives you a backwards peace sign. Supposedly, it's like giving the middle finger to Americans and is supposed to reference the two times the atomic bomb was dropped on their country. Like most of the shit you hear in the Marines, you get to spend the rest of your life wondering if that was true or not.
