1. Wear a hat at a jaunty angle?
2. Proper lose your shit in public if you're totally in the right and justified in do so?
3. Give Coan a foot rub if he asked you nicely because he was standing all day?
4. Genuinely take a beating for a friend, jump in to a winless fight to back them up?
5. After watching a routine cop/FBI type show, theoretically plan a murder and how'd you get away with it?
6. Send your kid to the military just to straighten them out (If Needed)?
7. Wish you took a sport you played when you were younger more seriously, so you might reach a higher level? Not pro, just a higher level.

1. Wear a hat at a jaunty angle? Always2. Proper lose your shit in public if you're totally in the right and justified in do so? Who cares if you are in the right3. Give Coan a foot rub if he asked you nicely because he was standing all day? Of Course, maybe do him a little dinner ( microwaved fish probs)4. Genuinely take a beating for a friend, jump in to a winless fight to back them up? I doubt I would take a beating as I am always tooled up5. After watching a routine cop/FBI type show, theoretically plan a murder and how'd you get away with it? I continually plan such an event, mostly when shopping in the co-op6. Send your kid to the military just to straighten them out (If Needed)? Would prefer to administer my own beatings7. Wish you took a sport you played when you were younger more seriously, so you might reach a higher level? Not pro, just a higher level. Football

I think there are many "yeses" there for Trump voters, and" No's" for the rest of us.

1. Wear a hat at a jaunty angle?
Not really. I'll let G do that one.
2. Proper lose your shit in public if you're totally in the right and justified in do so?
Yes.
3. Give Coan a foot rub if he asked you nicely because he was standing all day?
Not for a $1 million.
4. Genuinely take a beating for a friend, jump in to a winless fight to back them up?
No. I let a friend get decked once in a bar parking lot because he was out of line.
5. After watching a routine cop/FBI type show, theoretically plan a murder and how'd you get away with it?
There's a guy in Ireland. . .
6. Send your kid to the military just to straighten them out (If Needed)?
Yes.
7. Wish you took a sport you played when you were younger more seriously, so you might reach a higher level? Not pro, just a higher level.
I was playing water polo in jr. college for a very esteemed coach. I had made all league in high school. An ex-Olympic player worked out with us one day and he pulled me aside and said I had Olympic potential. I knew I didn't and had been in a pool for up to three hours a day since the age of nine. I was done. I quit swimming competitively and playing water polo after that semester to concentrate on college.
I went out for wrestling as a sophomore in high school and a really good varsity wrestler pulled me aside after practice and told me I had real potential. I quit the next week because it was too fucking hard.

1. Wear a hat at a jaunty angle?
Well i wear a baseball cap when i go out but i'd never do that jaunty angle shit. Even backwards doesn't work in Ireland.
2. Proper lose your shit in public if you're totally in the right and justified in do so?
I don't think so, the last time i last the plot in public like really really lost was on a basketball court with a ref. I had to be held back and called him some rough stuff. I shocked a lot of people that day. I have to admit if felt good considering i was raised never to cause a scene.
3. Give Coan a foot rub if he asked you nicely because he was standing all day?
No, just....no.
4. Genuinely take a beating for a friend, jump in to a winless fight to back them up?
Aye i would, i have a good bunch of close friends, we pretty much back each other up no matter what.
5. After watching a routine cop/FBI type show, theoretically plan a murder and how'd you get away with it?
Maybe once or twice but nothing too serious.
6. Send your kid to the military just to straighten them out (If Needed)?
Hahahah not a fucking problem.
7. Wish you took a sport you played when you were younger more seriously, so you might reach a higher level? Not pro, just a higher level. Obvious answer is basketball, i wish i tried a little harder and pretty much put it on the back burner when i hit college. I think i could have made national league team (Top Irish League) maybe not starting but off the bench at least. It is one of my biggest regrets.

Baseball caps look terrible. There's no excuse for it.

1. Wear a hat at a jaunty angle?
Anything beyond 15º is asking for trouble.
2. Proper lose your shit in public if you're totally in the right and justified in do so?
If I saw someone wearing a hat at a 20º angle I'd probably start gibbering like an idiot and rolling around on the sidewalk.
3. Give Coan a foot rub if he asked you nicely because he was standing all day?
Look, we all know John doesn't stand all day, so no I wouldn't, because if he told me he had been standing all day I'd know he was lying.
4. Genuinely take a beating for a friend, jump in to a winless fight to back them up?
It would depend on what angle their hat was being worn.
5. After watching a routine cop/FBI type show, theoretically plan a murder and how'd you get away with it?
I've already murdered each and every one of you in my mind and I still haven't been caught.
6. Send your kid to the military just to straighten them out (If Needed)?
Only if they don't go into the navy. You ever see the way they wear their hats?
7. Wish you took a sport you played when you were younger more seriously, so you might reach a higher level? Not pro, just a higher level.
I wasn't very athletically minded when I was a kid, but I wish I'd played more pick-up outdoor hockey so I could've learned the game earlier than I did.

1. Wear a hat at a jaunty angle?
Why not?
2. Proper lose your shit in public if you're totally in the right and justified in do so?
It could happen, but I suspect I wouldn't feel good about it afterwards.
3. Give Coan a foot rub if he asked you nicely because he was standing all day?
Sure.
4. Genuinely take a beating for a friend, jump in to a winless fight to back them up?
I'm happy to say that this has never ever come close to being a choice I had to make, but - yeah, conceivably.
5. After watching a routine cop/FBI type show, theoretically plan a murder and how'd you get away with it?
Sure.
6. Send your kid to the military just to straighten them out (If Needed)?
Let's just say that would be a very last resort, at best. It has been known to work for some people. It's also been known to make some people worse.
7. Wish you took a sport you played when you were younger more seriously, so you might reach a higher level? Not pro, just a higher level.
Yeah, actually. I always disdained sports as a youngster, in part because I was no damned good at them (unless air hockey counts). To be fair to myself: I found them boring to watch, as well. But in hindsight I think it might have done me some good to make more of an effort.

Not proud to admit though. 3. Give Chan a foot rub if he asked you nicely because he was standing all day? Ther’s little wouldn’t do for JC. 4. Genuinely take a beating for a friend, jump in to a winless fight to back them up? Yes, without a doubt. 5. After watching a routine cop/FBI type show, theoretically plan a murder and how'd you get away with it? 6. Yes but more so for other crimes. Send your kid to the military just to straighten them out (If Needed)? Absolutey not. 7. Wish you took a sport you played when you were younger more seriously, so you might reach a higher level? Not pro, just a higher level Well yes. I was fanatically involved in a range of sports untill I discovered booze and, later, drugs. I had the principal thought the two didn’t match so I quit sports. .
