Acceptable, not promotable

Valentine's Day is finally over, now we can move on to a more important holiday, Pancake Day. Pancake day is also known as Shrove Tuesday and Mardi Gras and is the day before Lent kicks off with Ash Wednesday. For the past two years I've been able to attend a couple of pretty sweet Pancake Day parties, but it looks like this year's party could be held at IHOP. Anyone in Des Monies that wants this to change, let me know. Okay, now on to old business; here are the acceptable answers to my Valentine application, though there could be some exceptions.

Short Answer
What is your favorite Wes Anderson film? Any would suffice.
What do you consider to be the merits of traveling by train? Everything except its slowness factor. I love traveling by train though.
Hot or cold weather? I prefer cold.
What is your favorite soccer league? Watching the World Cup and then the EPL made me realize how incredible this league is.
What is your favorite terrain? Ryan had a great answer [glacial moraine], but anything to do with mountains would have met my agreement.
What is your favorite swear word? I just wanted to see if you would answer this. Mine is "poop".
How many books over seven-hundred pages have you read in the past five years? If you answered this one at all, you win.
What section of the paper do you read first? Front page, comics or sports were okay.
What is your favorite country in Europe? I think most countries would have been approved, except for that bastard Spain [free Porto!]. Mine is Germany.

Yes or No
Liturgy - Yes, in small doses.
Harry Potter - Yes.
Alt-country - Oh yeah.
NPR - Yes, it's the first preset on my car stereo.
Babies - Sometimes.
Chasing squirrels - Yes, I'm sure they enjoy it too.
Los Angeles - No.
U.S. trade embargoes on communist nations - No, let's not starve people.
Trinitarian theology - Yep.
the NBA - No. No. And no.
Wikipedia - All flaws aside I really enjoy reading about all sorts of things from Wiki. My enjoyment of Les Miserables has benefitted from being able to learn about French history, especially the revolution years. So, yes.
CBS comedies - No! CBS keeps saying that "Two and a Half Men" is America's number one comedy. I've seen this show [my parents like it], and if this is America's number one comedy, we're in trouble. Like I said to a friend, if this is true then apparently most of America doesn't get NBC on Thursday nights. "Don't be an idiot," words to live by.
Sudoku - Yes. Though if you would've said "no" I would have understood, it's a major time killer.
The History Channel - Sometimes.
Loitering - Very much a yes.
More cheese - Please and thank you.
Pub food and drink - Ditto.

Make an argument for
The best band ever - Ryan answered with U2, certainly acceptable, though I would argue for The Beatles.
The best American band ever - This is an incredibly tough arena of argument, personally I say the Grateful Dead.
The best band in the world currently - I'd say Radiohead.
The best American band currently - I'm a bit biased, but I would say Wilco [eighty-eight days!].

You should all be jealous, Ryan got Toblerone. Regardless, I hope you had a most pleasant Valentine's Day, or "vd" as my friend Chris says. It just doesn't have the same ring to it though. Hmm. you have my love.
