  4. Favorite color? Blue<\/em><\/li>
  5. Do you get nervous before a doctor\u2019s appointment? Not really as much as I used to. Just one of those things at this point.<\/li>

  10. What would you name your daughter if you were about to have one? Marie. I\u2019m a Cajun. It\u2019s kind of a requirement. If, in the very unlikely event we have a kid, I\u2019d like to give him\/her a French first name to go along with my French surname.

  24. What do you think of this statement: There\u2019s something wrong with a person who doesn\u2019t like cats, dogs and children? Stereotypes are often wrong. But, yes, those cats would eat you; they\u2019re just not big enough.<\/em><\/li>
  25. Where would you like to go? There.<\/li>
  26. Do you own slippers? Yes. My wife really doesn\u2019t like me to walk around in the stairwell barefoot. (That doesn\u2019t mean I don\u2019t when I\u2019m just doing something like taking out the trash….)<\/li>
