| Neighborhoodies is a small company run by kids who have no business running a business. We made our first hoodie less than five years ago. Within what seemed like minutes we'd made a splash in New York, and found love in cities across the country. The attention of folks like NBC, CNN and NPR didn't hurt none, and the next thing you know we're packing up our stuff, moving out of our basement apartment and setting up a real-life office in Brooklyn. Now we've got 60 full timers, a giant bean bag, and a dart board. Just so you know, this is a very dangerous thing, having a dart board. Check out our individual profiles below. |

| Let me cut right to the chase, who is your favorite relative? My favorite all-time relative would have to be Dr. Octagon's dangerous 208 year old uncle, Mr. Gerbik. |

| Deb |
| Codename: The Wizard |
| Big weekend plans? Not really. I was hoping to get some errands done, but nothing major. |
| Ever been on a Harley? I hardly think that's an appropriate question. |
| Whatevs, dude. It's the 90s. No it's not. It's... Do you even know what year this is? |

| Liz |
| Codename: Xander Harris |
| If you could be absolutely spectacular at any single sport, what would it be? Without a doubt I would answer kickball. |
| I have to point out that your response seems a little predictable these days. Well I guess I'm predictable then. But I know you're being a jerk. |
| You know, I was going to ask you a third question, but now I'm not going to. I don't like you attitude. Spare me. |

| Why do we want to join the Centennial Club? Because I have what it takes. |
| You can either answer the next question or take a physical challenge. PHYSICAL CHALLENGE! |
| Okay. Mom's got 30 seconds to throw these slime-filled waterballoons into this basket that you're going to be holding over here. Now, she's got to get at least 5 of of these balloons (and they are slimy, feel that–eww) in the basket so you're really going to have move around in order to catch these things. Is mom a good throw? She kinda throws like a girl, but what are you going to do? |

| Gus |
| Codename: Gus |
| What would you say if I told you I was the voice of your conscience? I would ask just one thing: where have you been all my life. |
| Ha ha! That's a good one. I'm not the voice of your conscience, silly. I mean, I had a feeling. But it's tough to be sure, you know? |
| Will you ever forget me and this magical time we've spent together? I'll never forget you... Well, I suppose I'll forget you eventually. In fact, I've already forgotten you. What did you say your name was? Nice to meet you. |

| Steve |
| Codename: Mr. Belvedere |
| So, you're super into babysitting? What? Oh, the code name... That's funny. Really. You know, Belv wasn't really a babysitter. He was an English butler trying to make it work with an American family. Bob Uecker's family, as a matter of fact. And it wasn't always easy. |
| I can see why, I've never like that Joe Isuzu guy. No, Uecker and Joe Isuzu are different people. Joe Isuzu was on Empty Nest. Uecker had some kind of sports career before he came to primetime. |
| Really, Joe Isuzu was on Empty Nest? I thought that was a Golden Girls spin-off. It was. I swear to God, it's like you know nothing. Empty Nest is a Golden Girls spin-off and David Leisure, who played Joe Isuzu, was on it, but he was playing the character of the neighbor Charlie, the jerk who worked on the cruise ship. Not the character Joe Isuzu. Same actor, different character. Get it? |

| Codename: The Mud Shark |
| Ever raised a turkey? What do you mean? Like, by hand? I've never really considered them like pets, I mean, it's farming, you know? You get the eggs from that internet web site everybody's so into these days, convert your old dog house into a turkery, keep flood lights on the eggs for a couple of days until they hatch, then just wait until their big enough that you can't trace 'em with your hand any more. |
| I think that qualifies as raising a turkey, why were you so reticent to admit that you've done it before? I wasn't being reticent. I just wasn't sure what you mean by "raised". That's all. |
| Now that we're kind of gotten on the same page when it comes to the definition of raising an animal, let make ask you this: do you have any other animal raising experiences you'd like to talk about? I've got plenty of experiences, no doubt. I've done pumas, peacocks, pigs, ponies, cream cheeses, bloodwurst... you name it, I've pretty much raised it. That is, I've "raised" it according to your definition of the word. |

| Shamiso |
| Codename: Timothy Treadwell |
| Okay, if you had to name just two favorite Bratz, who would they be? Now let me ask you a question: do you mean the ones in the movie, the original foursome that made up the very first Bratz Pack (Jade, Chloe, Sasha and Yasmin), or can I pick from all the Bratz collections like Twiins, Spring Break and Tokyo-A-Go-Go? Because the answer is Chloe and Jade if I have to pick from the original pack, Ciara and Diona if I can pick from all Bratz ever. |
| I think there's been a communication error here. By Bratz I meant fried pork, beef or veal sausages. I'm not exactly sure who Dionne and Sierra are. Oh. I see. Like the kind served with sauerkraut, right? And it's Diona and Ciara. |
| Do you even have a favorite German sausage? I don't know... I guess I like Kielbasa okay. |

| So, when was the last time you were on Tralfamador Ha ha, because of the nickname, I get it. But, you know, I prefer Cat's Cradle. Can we talk about that one instead? |
| Have you got something against Montana Wildhack or the Tralfamadorians themselves? Yeah, I do. Have you ever seen one? They look like green plungers with an eye on top. Repulsive! |
| What do you have against toilet plungers? I just prefer to do all my plumbing the liquid way. |

| That's a horrible laugh you've got, BTW. What can I say, sometime heart surgery's a real scream! |
| That was a great Crypt Keeper you just did! You know, I've always loved that Holly Marie Combs though, she's the bomb. She was great on Picket Fences, I never really got into Charmed. |
| For realio? I feel like Buffy and Angel kind of take care of it for me. |

| What's this I keep hearing about peanut butter flavored crunchberries? They're awesome! Have you not tried them yet? They've been out for like a year. |
| You know, and I feel terrible about this, but I just have not been able to get it together. Dude, what are you doing with your life? |
| It's unclear. Let me ask you this: have you Crunch-a-Tized anything today? Let's just say I did some TCBing just after I woke up. |

| Codename: Spiral Staircase |
| Would you agree that Phantasy Star II is the greatest console-based RPG ever or would you get into an argument? I wouldn't argue. The part where Nei dies is mind blowing, the final reveal at the end--it's phenomenal. But I will say that a lot of people might take the bait, Ocarina of Time has a serious following. |
| I've heard that but I grew up on Genesis, N64 games don't interest me. I'm just saying... |
| So you do want to argue about this. Why didn't you just say so? I'm not arguing. |

| Christine |
| Codename: Thomas Jefferson |
| What was the largest ransom you've ever been asked to pay? A kid in middle school wanted 40 million, which very was high at the time. |
| How long did he give you to come up with the dough? A week. It was real nail-biter. |
| I can imagine. How'd you do it? I took a job as a docent in this under-visited museum on the hill. I don't know if you've been up there but it's just a collection of like old diamond watches and other mandatory retirement gifts this Viceroy put together in an attempt to undermine student activists. Anyway, I got the job pretty easily and it wasn't long before I managed to raise the money I needed. I'm only telling you this because the museum closed a couple of years ago and they can't do anything to me now. |

| Did I tell you that my team won trivia night last week at the local pub? You do not mention that, congratulations! |
| Thank you very much. There was a whole section of sample LSAT questions and I think I did really well on them. Are you ready for one? As ready as I'll ever be. Fire away. |
Lou observes that if flight 409 is canceled, then the manager could not possibly arrive in time for the meeting. But the flight was not canceled. Therefore, Lou concludes, the manager will certainly be on time. Evelyn replies that even if Lou's premises are true, his argument is fallacious. And therefore, she adds, the manager will not arrive on time after all.
Which of the following is the strongest thing that we can properly say about this discussion?
A. Evelyn is mistaken in thinking Lou's argument to be fallacious, and so her own conclusion is unwarranted.
B. Evelyn is right about Lou's argument, but nevertheless her own conclusion is unwarranted.
C. Since Evelyn is right about Lou's argument, her own conclusion is well supported.
D. Since Evelyn is mistaken about Lou's argument, her own conclusion must be false.
E. Evelyn is right about Lou's argument, but nevertheless her own conclusion is false.
Kind of tricky, right? It's B. How does she know the manager will not arrive on time? Unless, that is, she's done something to the manager to prevent his/her punctual arrival. Am I right? |

| You are good. What am I thinking about now? David Duchovny--no! His wife... what's here name... Téa Leoni! |

| Do I look like someone who would eat a taco salad? I don't know, it's kind of hard to tell with all the smoke in here and the veil you're hidden behind. |
| But if you had to guess?! I'd guess that you had one once but probably won't be having another one anytime soon. |
| That's really how I come off? You made me guess! Why are you all the sudden freaking out now? |

| What's with the attendance issues, dude? Very funny. I take attendance pretty darn seriously, I'll have you know. I love for certificates |
| What's your favorite? My favorite certif? That's what I call them, "certifs". I like the way it swings. |
| Me too. Do you have any other cool names for stupid stuff? Yeah, I hate four syllable words so I've got tons of nick words. Do you know what poly sci is? |

| Quick! Your three favorite Jim Croce songs! Don't Mess Around Jim; Bad, Bad Leroy Brown... Operator |
| No Time in a Bottle? I think it's too sappy. A lot of Croce's stuff is, to be totally honest. It's just not who I am right now. |
| Do you think a Woodstock museum is ridiculous. Hint: it is. Absolutely not! I think you're ridiculous. It's like your tugging on Superman's cape. |

| Why are you so quick to anger? I'm not. |
| Seriously, everybody knows you can't keep your cool once a fool gets all up in your grill with some jibba jabba. Having a temper can be hot; you should be making it work instead of denying it. Look, I told you I don't have a temper. Can we please move on? |
| Ooh, looks like you're getting a little red in cheeks, hot around the collar. am I getting your Irish up? Is that it? What 'cha gonna do about it? This is the exact kind of situation I role-palyed last week in Anger Management. FYI: It doesn't end well. |

| Codename: Frankie |
| Who's the genius: Carver or Lish? Raymond Carver is one of the most significant short story writers ever. The last thing I want to even begin to consider is that this "Mr. Lish" even exists. I don't have the kind of brain that can begin to distinguish the work of the author from the work of the editor and I don't want to be asked to do so. Carver's the genius. |
| What effect will this have on your next viewing of Short Cuts? None what so ever. My focus will be, as always, below Julianne Moore's equator. |
| Speaking personally, I think I'm developing a thing for Anne Archer. When Tim Robbins pulls her over I am like, wow. I think the part where Tom Waits throws the little plastic booze bottle, that he clearly appropriated from the limo, on the ground and it bounces really high is probably my favorite current moment. |

| Codename: Altered Bess |
| Which future dystopia would you rather less live in: Heston's world in Soylent Green or Heston's world in the Omega Man? You know that Soylent Green takes place in 2022, so that future is just around the corner. I'm pretty sure that the Omega Man has already happened, I think the movie is set in the late 70s. I don't know which one I'd prefer less... Let me turn the tables and ask you a question: Why didn't you include Heston's world in Planet of the Apes or Beneath the Planet of the Apes in your initial question. |
| Because... I didn't think of it until just now. Okay then, of the 3 near futures which would rather live wind up in? I like the way Heston destroys the world in Beneath. But I like how there are no mutants in Soylent Green... |
| I'm not hearing a clear answer... Is there one? |
