Ryan Novak

Favorite fast food

Ever since I was a little kid, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Chicken McNuggets. I'm also partial to Burger King cheesy tots. I kind of gravitate toward the unhealthiest things on the menu.

Favorite smell

Pumpkin pie, or maybe a fally potpourri.

Storms: cool or scary?

Or? I say AND! The sound of a heavy rain is really relaxing, and the thunder keeps you from falling asleep. Of course, there are limits (I kind of like living, you know).

Sports Team of choice

What is this "sports" of which you speak?

Beverage of choice

Anything that has the word coffee in it and means it. Also Mountain Dew (I'm a geek, what did you expect?).

Who was/is the most influential person in your life?

Kari, because she helps me push myself forward and overcome adversity.

What's your favorite game show?

Starcade. It's '80s-tastic!

If you could travel in time, when/where would you go?

Assuming I could leave at any time, I'd love to travel around feudal Japan. And if the future is... you know, safe... it'd be cool to travel far enough into the future to see some flying cars. It's been 50 years or so since the idea of the flying car was created, and we're still waiting!

Do you believe in ghosts? Would you spend the night with someone you love in the most haunted place on Earth?

I'm conflicted here. See, I don't believe in ghosts, but I'm also a wuss, so I get creeped out by TV shows about haunted buildings and what-not. So I still wouldn't want to spend the night in the most haunted place on Earth, regardless of who I was with.

Where would you go if you could go anywhere?

Back to Japan, to see more of the countryside and cities out west.

If you had to give up your cell phone or access to the internet, which would you choose?

Cell phone, no question. Then again, I'd have a lot more free time if I had no internet access. I probably wouldn't have a job, either.

If you had to give up indoor plumbing or electricity, which would it be?

Electricity; there are other ways to generate power, but you can't pedal a bike to flush a toilet (or if you can, I don't want to).

If you had to eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Well, it'd have to be a meal large enough to last me the rest of my life, right?

What is your favorite season?

Fall. I love the fall colors and the crisp, cool air.

How is LOST going to end?

As long as the whole thing doesn't end up being Bob Newhart's dream, I think it'll be pretty cool. I think everyone who seems like a bad guy now will turn out to have been trying to save the world the whole time.

What is your least favorite corporation in the world and why?

Sysco. They make generic restaurant & cafeteria supplies. I don't know why I don't like them, but I don't.

Favorite movie of all time?

I really don't do favorites, but I suppose I'm a fan of the proper and correct Star Wars trilogy.

Did O.J. do it?

Yes, O.J. totally did "steal back" some old memorabilia at a Las Vegas hotel in 2007. Huh? He was accused of something else?

Walk through the supermarket naked or sing the Star-Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl?

Wow, two things no one wants to see. But I'd say naked supermarket strolling, because there'd be less preparation, and it'd hopefully be over with fairly quickly. Hopefully.
