What’s your irrationally strong opinion about food?
Fruit doesn't belong on salads, pizza, or meat, with the one exception of prosciutto and melon (which is my favorite). Anyone who says otherwise is a monster.
If you had to be haunted by a ghost, who would you pick?
My grandpa on my dad's side so I could have someone to practice my Italian with.
What’s your most creative excuse for missing a Zoom call?
If I told you, I wouldn't be able to use it anymore.
What’s your go-to karaoke song that you sing terribly but passionately?
Rappers Delight. It's a really long song with more verses than one would realize, but I've got the chorus down and I just fake the rest.
What’s your most controversial take on a universally loved movie or show?
Star Wars is kind of boring and overrated.

If you were a kitchen appliance, what would you be and why?
I would probably be an ice maker. I hang out and do what I do on my own but am there to provide some refreshment.
If you were a villain, what would your evil lair be shaped like?
I think it would look something like Laputa in Castle in the Sky but on a much smaller level.
What would you name your robot assistant?
Something like Chad or Reginald but would depend on my mood and the robots personality.
What's something you believed as a kid and only recently found out wasn't true?
My Grandfather had a stuffed Jackalope in his garage that I was convinced was real. In college, I told some friends about this and how cool it was and they proceded to laugh and tell me they were not real. I then called my dad to relay this information and get the full scoop and he laughed as he told me it wasn't real. Real bummer.
Emily Jacoby
What’s your most useless talent?
The ability to insert random quotes from movies and tv shows into day-to-day conversation.
Which inanimate object do you most identify with?
Let's go with a paintbrush. The obvious reason being that I love to paint and think Bob Ross is a genius, but I am also an expressive person who likes to create pretty things.
What 90s/2000s trend would you bring back instantly?
Burned CDs. There's something to say about the mixed genre chaos and moodiness…so good. Sadly, my car doesn't even have a CD player anymore.
What’s something you believed as a kid and only recently found out wasn’t true?
That being an adult is awesome. It is, in fact, NOT awesome. It's a sick joke.
What’s your most controversial take on a universally loved movie or show?
That the Predator and Alien movies are good. I wish I could get that time back.
