So this survey at work included an "Ask Gregg Stickeler" question. Here's what they asked and what I answered.
BTW -- there was a picture of me looking up above the survey question.
We asked Gregg
Stickeler, Sr. Vice President of Client Services, and he answered. If you would
like the NSFW answers, please see Gregg.
- Your always in a good mood. Whats the secret to your
happiness? I live by
important quotes. Yoda – “Do or do not, there is no try.” And
Alfred E Newman – “What, me worry?” and John Winger – “It’s a little
cute” And really, I just like being around.
- why do you look so Orange in this Picture? Testing out a new make-up.
Thinking Oompa Loompa for Halloween (don’t tell anyone)
- What is important to you in your life right now? Everything and finding a date
- What your favorite thing about being a Dad? My Kids
- What's up Mr. G. New York, New Jersey, New England – oh, sorry,
that’s what’s new. The sky. 7. Time
- If you had to choose between your Star Wars or Star
Trek memorabilia, which would you keep? Sophie’s Choice, huh? I think it
would have to be my Star Wars stuff
- what are you looking at? New York, New Jersey, . . . no, I mean Up!
- What's on the calendar for the next Geekend? It’s a slow one this week Son of
Flubber, Free Comics, watching the Supergirl pilot (again). Saturday
night is wide open – just sayin’!!
- To what do you owe your success? Natural charm and a well honed
shovel
- What are you looking at (in this picture)? Blue, I think we should paint it
blue
- Who is your least favorite main Star Wars character,
and why? It’s between
Chief Chirpa and Sy Snootles but I think I have to go with Sy
Snootles. I liked her at first but she’s really just a tease and not
very nice to people who try to be nice to her. But can’t deny her
those gorgeous lips. (and you thought I was going to say Jar Jar)
- Are you going to enjoy your new neighbor? Uhm, yes. I enjoyed all my
neighbors (with Fava Beans and a nice Chianti)
- Did you have nice memorial weekend? Very nice. Friend from back
east came to visit. Renamed it Miramorial weekend in her
honor. Saw a play called Entropy Friday night (which we all
thoroughly enjoyed), dinner at Umami Burger (I had the Ahi Tuna to be
good). Saturday featured the Absent Minded Professor and free comic
books. After dropping the kids off we went for a walk at rattlesnake
park and then to Kravings and saw dancers (and ate and drank).
Sunday we had breakfast at Bea Bea’s followed by Warner Brothers Studio
tour. Got the kids, had pork loin (cooked in Root bear and smothered
with BBQ sauce) and corn on the cob for dinner with the kids. Played
Hollywood Game Night (home Edition) which I kicked major Booty on). Monday
we went to the Science Center to see the IMAX pic Jerusalem 3D followed by
the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Space Shuttle. Tried to find Wayne
Manor but there’s an 8 foot wall in front of the property. Saw the
fork in the road in Pasadena, Doc Brown’s house and Michael Myers
house. Pizza Rev for dinner. Played Clue Jr (I won – Mrs.
Peacock at 3:00 with a cola). Pretty standard 3 day weekend stuff.
Hey –[- You asked.
- If a client wants to poll how many angels could dance
on the head of a pin, how big a sample do we need to pull? It would have to be a really
small sample for them to fit on that pin.
- Where do you stand on "grey jedi”? Just below the chin (right around the
neck area)
- aside from star wars, what is your favorite
movie? Oddly Star Wars
is not my favorite movie as I have a few I would put in that
category (all depends on mood, time of day, where I am). Top list
would include – Carrie (the good one by Brian DePalma), 2001, Phantom of
the Paradise, Star Trek II (wrath of Kahn)
- So what are your kids current favorite TV series? Do
you share the same favorites? And Why? We are currently watching Glee and Friends. A
lot. Without me George watches Psyched and Adventure Time.
Victoria watches Girl Meets World (I sometimes watch with her) and Full
House. When we aren’t watching Friends (which I swear is nonstop,
we’ve gone through 6 seasons in a month) we love and I mean totally love
the Flash. Once Upon a Time, Modern Family, the Goldberg’s (all
three have fallen behind because of friends) And Jeopardy. Due
to the schedule I have to record that and we are usually a day or two
behind. I was thrilled last week when my Kids correctly answered
“Who are the Ruttles?” before I did.
- Have you ever thought about dying your hair to match
your eyebrows? Could make you look 15 years younger. Little known fact, my hair is the
color of my eyebrows. I actually spend quite a pretty penny to frost
the hair and beard.
- How many times have you been around the world? Almost once. I’ve been from Philly
to Germany and from LA to India (and to Australia) so I am missing Austria
to Pakistan (one of these days though, one of these days!)
- When's the next haircut? DK I have this tendency to let it
get a bit too long I like living on the edge that way. And yes
CRR, I will have the eyebrows trimmed!
- What's with the Black chicks? Though most commonly hatched white
or yellow, there are many different colors of baby chickens (or as
referenced here, chicks). The most common variety of black feathered
baby chickens are the offspring of the Australorp an Australian
breed of Orpingtons imported
from the UK.
- What advice would you give someone just starting in
market research?
It’ll only take a few minutes and you will find it interesting. Oh
wait, that’s for someone starting a market research survey. Do everything there is to do. Get on the phones,
monitor, look over data and tabs. Ask a lot of questions of everyone
you encounter while you are learning.
- I love Star Trek but my partner Loves Star Wars
Prequels, whats the best way to break it off? Watch Episode I together and insist on
repeating all of Jar Jar’s lines with Chekov’s accent.
- Was being president of the Battery Club in high school
as glamorous as they say? Battery Club President was the pinnacle of my Jr and Sr.
High School years. I was well known and recognized and referred to
respectfully as Bunny. The funniest was when they would ask me AC or
DC. On top of that, there is a full page dedicated to me and the
club in my senior yearbook titled, You’ll Get A Real Charge From These
Nerds” My parents were so proud.
- How large has Myra's hat collection gotten? She has over 100 hats in the
collection and actually needed to expand into a second room annex. I
still have more mugs.
- Which client are you anxiously awaiting to go
bankrupt? One of the ones
who has already paid us.
- Is it true that one of George Lucas' new character's is
named Grrrregg Malventris? Yes, well, seriously no. well actually I have nary a
clue on this one
- what is the flight speed of a swallow European Swallow, unladen, 24
miles per hour (fun fact – they only actually beat their wings 18 times
per second). What’s with all the bird questions? I’m a Doctor not an
ornithologist!
- What is the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek? The last name
- Cake or Pie? Cake – unless it’s Banana or Coconut
cream, then pie. Unless it’s German Chocolate or Ice Cream, then
it’s cake.
