I thought it would be kind of neat to do a little interview with myself.  I made up a list of questions that I have been asked over the years and decided to answer them here.  Here they are in no particular order...

Q: What's with the name Treasuredude?

A: I got into the hobby of metal detecting a few years ago and was out hunting for coins on one of the local beaches along the Missouri River.  A guy up the beach was fishing and was trying to get my attention.  He hollered out, "Hey treasure dude!"  I liked the sound of that and decided to use it as my moniker on the Internet.

Q: Why would you live in a state (South Dakota) that gets so cold during the winter?

A: It keeps the riff-raff out.

Q: Do you have a dog?

A: No

Q: What are your favorite tv shows?

A: There is really not anything on TV worth watching right now.  I usually find myself parked on either the History Channel or the Discovery Channel.  DEADWOOD on HBO is excellent.  If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to catch at least one episode and you'll be hooked.  Other than that, I watch reruns of Seinfeld and Spin City.

Q: What's your favorite movie?

A: I have three: THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON with Errol Flynn, STRIPES with Bill Murray, and the original 1933 KING KONG.

A: The Nile

A: I found an ornately decorated marijuana pipe next to the remains of a camp fire on a local beach.

Q: Where's the best place to eat in the Black Hills?

A: The Alpine Inn in Hill City.  The only have one thing on their menu - a steak fillet.  You get to choose either the large or the small and how you want it done.  It comes with a baked potato and a lettuce wedge with Ranch dressing.  Don't miss it.

Q: What's your favorite roller coaster?

A: The Incredible Hulk coaster at Universal Orlando.  Followed closely by Steel Venom at Valleyfair.
