No, but I would be glad to try it.

Have you ever eaten in an Afghan restaurant?

 

[HallKogan]

No. But I’ve eaten with an Afghan on my couch.

Have you ever eaten shark?

 

[alwayslaughing]

I have never eaten shark. I'm not so sure it's legal in the states, or at least not easy to find.
Have you ever seen a shark up close?

 

[milagros317]

No, never, I am happy to report.

Have you ever seen a live whale?

 

[HallKogan]

Yes. I saw Shamu at Sea World when I was a kid.

Have you ever been to a zoo?

 

[milagros317]

Yes, the Bronx Zoo, several times.

What is your favorite exhibit at the zoo?

 

[HallKogan]

Tigers, my favorite animal. And polar bears are a close second.

What do you prefer on women... boots, sneakers, flats, or heels?

 

[alwayslaughing]

Depends on context, but for me - sneakers.

Have you ever worn suspenders?

 

[milagros317]

No, never.

Have you ever worn a tuxedo?

 

[alwayslaughing]

No, not a proper one, though I've worn a cummerbund and bow tie, and a tuxedo shirt on separate occasions.

Were you ever in scouts of any variety? (Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, etc.)

 

[milagros317]

Yes, both Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts.

Do you do any winter sports (such as skiing or sledding)?

 

[alwayslaughing]

I never have before, unless you count snow football (which I only did the one time) and street hockey (which I only ever played in the fall).

Which are better - The Mets or the Yanks? (Or The Giants or the Jets if you're more into football).

 

[milagros317]

The Yankees are much better, both this year and in history.

Is there any sports team that you truly hate?

 

[alwayslaughing]

I suppose not really. I don't follow sports a lot, apart from soccer from time to time (and mostly international at that).

If you could be an athlete for a day, what sport would you play/participate in?

 

[milagros317]

Baseball.

Did you attend a baseball game in 2019?

 

[alwayslaughing]

I did not. I think it's been a few years actually. I did attend a concert at a baseball stadium though.

When was the last time you swung a baseball bat?

 

[milagros317]

1993. It was a game used bat that I had just bought at Dodger Stadium.

When was the last time that you played soccer?

 

[alwayslaughing]

Oh gosh. Probably 2007 or so? Something like that.

If you watched the World Cup, which team would you support?

 

[milagros317]

When the U.S. is in the World Cup, then I support it.
When not, then I don't have strong rooting feelings for any team.

Have you ever attended a women's beach volleyball match in person?
(Attached photo is from a professional women's beach volleyball tournament that was held here in Manhattan this summer.)

 

[alwayslaughing]

I've never attended one before, but I think it was a mistake not to have. 🙂

Have you visited a resort?

 

[milagros317]

Yes, both here in the US and in the Caribbean.

[alwayslaughing]

No, I have not, thankfully.

Have you seen a whale?

 

[milagros317]

Yes, only once.

Have you ever found a conch shell?

 

[alwayslaughing]

No, I don't think I've found one - I haven't spent much time in the areas where they are supposed to be.

Have you ever found a live clam?

 

[milagros317]

No, I have not.

Do you like to eat clams or oysters?
