Jeffrey Rotter Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. I'm presently accepting submissions. Q. Which living person do you most admire? A. My wife. Q. What are your 5 favorite songs? A. That pure sine wave that sounds like any song you can think of, whatever that's called. Also, I like the Kinks. Q. If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your days, what would it be? A. That nutrient powder that tastes like anything you can think of, whatever that's called. Q. If you could acquire any talent, what would it be? A. I’m interested in attaining powers that, while not qualifying as “super,” are arguably “exceptional.” For instance: partial invisibility, the ability to shrink to three-quarters my normal size, or the dragonlike capacity for breathing fire, but only through my nose, and only enough to light a cigarette.
