Thanks Zanz! And no such thing as being too based to not enjoy at least five good things in life. Here are mine:

1. C.S. Lewis: there are few thinkers who have had as much of an impact on the trajectory of my life as him

2. Really really dry ginger beer: I'm talking the fever tree mixers here, none of that Vernor's stuff, though I acknowledge it to be a good drink

3. The intersection of thrash and black metal: I like it when my metal is both high concept and doesn't sound like it's being played through a 5 foot thick wall of foam. Slayer and Behemoth are the sweetspot. Yeah that's right, I'm an elitist jackass. Go cry about it liberal.

4. Going on long country drives on poorly maintained backroads: ‘nuff said

5. Praying alone in an empty Catholic church when the Eucharist is present

I nominate Dr. Aristoboulos Streptococcus cuturunu Uncle D.iogenes Achernar Apophenius and Michael K. Boateng
