1. How often do you wear your team's apparel?

Never. How tacky.
To every game.
Every week on casual Friday.
Always. I sleep in my Sean Casey jersey. I shower in my Go Reds wrsitband. And at the office, I've got my Red Hot Mama thong under my suit.

2. How do you follow the Reds' progress through the year?

Check the newspaper, if I have time.
Watch games on TV, if nothing better is on.
In person, TV, radio, Internet. Whatever it takes.
In the stadium as soon as it opens every day in any city wearing my hand-lettered I <3 Dunn shirt.

3. How do you interact with the Reds' online community?

I check out the Cincy papers online.
I read the blogs.
I post comments on blogs and message boards.
I am the Red Hot Mama.

4. Do you keep score at games?

No. I don't know how.
No. I leave in the 6th inning to avoid the traffic.
Yes.
Yes, using an elaborate system of symbols that I've devised over years of experimentation so that I can track, in addition to the traditional stats, the wind speed, mood of the crowd, and "clutch factor" on a pitch-by-pitch basis.

5. How do you feel about blackout rules?

Never heard of them.
They're a necessary inconvenience to protect broadcaster's properties.
They're one of the ugliest by-products of a capitalistic society.
They're a blight on the ass of humanity.

6. So, how 'bout them Reds?

Yeah, how 'bout them?
Can you believe they traded Sean Casey?
Quite a start they're off to, huh?
They're unbelievable. Of course, I said all along that they'd be good this year, but who could have predicted this kind of start. Wayne Krivsky ends up looking like a freaking genius or fortune-teller or something with some of the moves that he's been making. I mean, compare DanO's trade of Casey for Williams against Kriv-dawg's move of Wily Mo for Bronson Arroyo. One of these pitchers has worked out, am I wrong? And what about that Brandon Phillips? I'll admit, I was skeptical when they brought on yet another second baseman, but...

7. The ump made a bad call against the Reds. What do you do?

I don't worry about it. It'll all even out.
I boo the ump.
I yell, "Hey blue, get some glasses!"
I note the umpire's name and write scathing articles on my blog about how corrupt he is.

8. Let's say you're hanging out with the gang at BW3, checking out the game. Let's also say your name is Nick. Your friend runs into a coworker and wants to introduce him to the group. How does he introduce you?

Meet my buddy, Nick.
Oh, you're a Reds fan? You should meet Nick.
This is my friend Nick. He has a successful career, a beautiful family, and hosts a great World Series party.
You're a Cubs fan? Um, perhaps you should go. Nick is here.

9. The Reds win the World Series in your adult life. How long do you talk about it?

Whenever someone else brings it up.
Two months.
Until the next World Series win.
It will be on my gravestone.

10. What is the happiest moment of your life?

Getting married.
Having a child.
Winning the lottery.
Getting opening day tickets.
