I am a radical atheist and the parent of 12-y-o twin boys, not identical. The elder is sitting here saying "Say I like chocolate!" (LOL)

In terms of dislikes, I don't like breathy singers, I prefer full-throttle voices (example: on Enjoy Every Sandwich, the Warren Zevon tribute album, the woman who sings Don't Let Us Get Old needs a punch in the stomach to get the rest of her voice out.) I love chocolate, especially dark. I dislike fresh cilantro, anything licorice-flavored, and cashews.

This is going to be fun!
