RPG fans are familiar with The Le Games' line of quirky products and even quirkier advertising banners. So we decided to pin down The Le and get his list of random facts. Here is what he had to say:
1. I love the first Ashlee Simpson CD. It rocks and is "musically good". It has a very Joan Jett feel to it. I find myself singing along to the songs while I am driving home in my car. There's lots of good angst in there, and the voice is deliciously whiny. Man she was so hot before the operation...
2. My wife is crazy, but I still love her no matter how unreasonable she gets. Sometimes I think about buying a small counting-device, and pressing it each time she flies off the handle. I could track daily counter-totals on a graph and call it "The Crazy Wife Chart". That would be cool. I could start a website: www.MyCrazyWifeAngerChart.com or something like that. My favorite so far: I was cooking dinner last year on multiple burners. I removed the pan and turned off the burner as each pan was completed. I was cooking on the last burner when my wife comes in and puts her hand on the other burner that was turned off (+1 counter). She burned her hand, cried, hit me, then declared, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME IT WAS HOT?!?!"... (+1 counter)...
3. Sometimes I sing in the car, imagining myself on American Idol. Other times I imagine myself as a judge with a bad British accent -- "That's Rubbish!"
4. I met Debbie Gibson at a mall in Pittsburgh about 10 years ago when she was on tour. This was after she hit it big, fell from grace, and came off of a run as Rizzo on the touring play, Grease. I was so excited -- I got her to autograph a vinyl copy of her first album cover and I even got a picture of myself shaking her hand. I went ahead and blew it up to poster size. I think I have it in my attic somewhere. Yeah, that's my brush with celebrity. Hmmm, maybe I should frame it!
5. My third cat, Sophia, died last fall of cancer. She was some four years old when we adopted her (her mom/owner was in a nursing home and died shortly before we got her), and we had her for about a year before it all happened. From diagnosis to death took some two months, and it is the easily the worst period in my entire life so far. I have never experienced a loss of life this close to me before, and the sadness still persists to this day. I still remember how scraggily she was at the end. The only comfort I have is the thought that she is in heaven with her mom now.
6. My friend from my college years, Steve, was on the Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. He used me as his "Phone a Friend" and I got him the correct answer for a cool $50,000. All told he walked away with double that amount, but I am very happy to have been a part of that. Thank God for my googling skillz.
7. There are times I think about It's A Wonderful Life and think about all the things that wouldn't have happened if I were not born... my friend Tom would not be married today, my friend Mike would not be married to my co-worker Kay, there would be no HeroClix tournaments in the Akron area, Leslie would probably be living with her parents with lung cancer from all the second hand smoke, Angie (and Sophia) would be adopted by someone else, my friend Cynthia might not be married with children in Philadelphia, Steve would have depended on someone else for Who Wants to be a Millionaire who probably isn't as a good as me, Shaun would still be in Kent, D&D classes would suck, and all the people who know me wouldn't be as happy in life anymore.
8. I used to be a big comic book reader -- I would spend some $20-$30 per week on comic books. Sometimes I imagine myself with web shooters or telekinetic powers (I still do). However, in recent years I have come to conclude that I would make a lousy superhero because I am terrified of heights.
9. I hate David Letterman's Top Ten Lists. I think they are incredibly lame. It always starts out good with #10, has another couple good ones around #6 and #4, but the rest is just RUBBISH (in my worse British accent).
10. I think the majority of married couples out there are terrible with their money, and it causes rifts in their relationships. The #1 problem I see: married couples split the bills 50/50. That's stupid, because it really isn't sharing -- it splitting, which is not the same. You should both be responsible for all the debt, and as such you should both combine your income to take care of that debt. The 50/50 thing is especially problematic when one person makes a higher income than the other. One should never feel financially in debt or unequal to his or her spouse. You both use the cable and both use the heating and cooling, so why is the responsibility applying to only one of you?
