Andreas’ career as a flautist was sadly brought
to an end when the John Oliver instrument storage area suffered
an arson attack. Evidence of the impact of this act of vandalism
on his psyche is:
1. he plays the viola now, often by firelight on a vacant
lot
2. he has created a memorial to the event called “12th Night” at
which he builds a massive fire with the help of rancid cooking
oil, old Christmas trees, and diesel fuel
3. his eyes light up in pyromaniacal
glee when he beholds matches, firecrackers, or crème brule. |

After initial disinterest, Sharon is said to have written
to Andreas proposing that she come to Mission to hike, read,
and reflect. What
did he do –or not do- to prompt her to take charge?
1. bought her a vacuum
2. launched another damn good book
3. he really cooked |

Sharon’s father, standing in a steadily approaching water
taxi, is reported to have acknowledged her presence by crossing
himself. He did this because she was:
1. standing on some nearly submerged rocks while waving a warning
flashlight
2. the devil incarnate
3. sunbathing nude while putt-putting for Vancouver
in an outboard-powered dinghy full of like-minded young women |

Andy is apt to take off on a quick motorcycle road trip as
long as Environment Canada can guarantee dry weather. His
approach to motorcycle maintainance is governed by:
1. Zen philosophy
2. His Mennonite background

A funicular railway rising up the cliff on the Beach Avenue
property is referred to as “ The Facelift”. It
is so called because:
1. cute ski-jump noses run in the family
2. it commemorates a ghostwriting / editing job for an egotistical
Hollywood plastic surgeon through which its construction was financed.
3.
Disney holds the rights to “The Matterhorn Bobsled” |

According to mythology, Andy first set eyes on Sharon when
she and her friend McFet arrived at his under-construction Mission
house with a birthday bottle of Chivas for George. After
hours of sub floor nailing by all present, the guests departed
and Andy asked George, “Who is that woman?” What
really got his attention was:
1. she knew how to hold a hammer
2. she knew how to hold her scotch
3. she had legs |

Sharon successfully sits on the Co-Housing Cooks Committee. She
attributes her ability to do so to:
1. her term as alderwoman in Mission where she had authority over
the Sewer Board
2. Her job as Secretary Manager of the Mission Legion during which
time the president informed his male executive that they should all
check their pants because this lady seemed to have more balls than
the rest of them
3. Her banking position at a time when the dress code demanded girdles |

I forget who did this one
The Schroeder-Brown household is renowned for
its entertaining and fabulous food. Few present would guess that Andreas stocked
his pre-Sharon cupboards with Sweet Tarts, Tang, Fudgicles, and
the revered staple, “Schroeder beans”. His startling
advancement in culinary taste is a lasting testament to:
1. evolution
2. chairing The Writers’ Union and the UBC Creative Writing
Department
3. Sharon

The twin targets of "Love with a Suitable
