Chevre is goat cheese.

And I believe that the "career lifestyle" choice you listed as "biker" is known formally as "Leather Man".

One more question:

"When you saw President Bush in that flight suit on the aircraft carrier, did you think 'Mission Accomplished' or did you begin to hum "In the Navy" to yourself?"

1.) That's it, no ordination for you.

2.) "Leather Man?" I wonder what kind of super powers that comes with?

and
3.) When am I NOT humming "In the Navy" to myself?
