Canucks favorite team. Reason: born in Victoria. Least favorite: Boston. Reason: see 2011 NHL Finals. (Seriously Paul?  I went into those finals cheering for Canucks but changed after the biting, whining, Luongo comments, and more - Canucks will not win the Cup this year either)

Harrison Ford (are you afraid of snakes?)

Daniel Arthur Mead back when he was acting (so I think the name is familiar and I google him - here is the results - almost as disturbing as Boagy man)

Long Dong Silver is the pseudonym of retired porn star Daniel Arthur Mead. He appeared in several pornographic movies in the UK and US during the late 1970s and early 1980s, famed for the apparent size of his penis (18 inches / 45 centimeters). However, it was later revealed that his penis size was a fabrication that Mead had help in making from his photographer Jay Myrdal. Having been known as being one of the makeup artists for the film The Elephant Man, Myrtle created the prosthetic by utilizing a "flexible foam latex sleeve" that was "placed over Mead’s penis [and] glued down to his pubes" in order for him to pose during photo shoots.

10. If you could be a super hero what would you want your powers to be?

Flight.

 11.Tell us one thing about yourself that none of the Calcutta participants would already know?

I only buy 3 ply toilet tissue.

 12.Who will give their partner the look more often – Gary Long or Ted Charuk or someone else (name that person)?

“Chuckles” Long – no question.
