The TV show “Bouillon de Culture” hosted by Bernard Pivot was famous for its guests in literature, philosophy, play, song and poetry writing as well as acting and comedy. My favourite part (aside from imagining Cecilia Bartoli “la tornade baroque” as Bernard Pivot) was the final questionnaire. In much the same way that I practice my Oscar speech from time to time, so have I worked out my answers for Mr. Pivot. You never know when you'll be plucked from obscurity to become the new It Boy, you know, and figured I'd throw answers to the same questions...


Your favorite word?
Zygomatic, it sounds funny and scores high in scrabble

The word you hate?
Deoxycorticosterone, too tricky for me

Your favorite drug?
Boating, because I prefer to have a bad day boating on lac L?man than a good day in the office!

The sound or noise you like?
Ocean waves or the sound of silence

Your favorite curseword?
"for fuck's sake", picked up in Canada but since my mother found me on GoL, I, of course, no longer have a favourite curse word

A man or woman to appear on a new banknote?
Cecilia Bartoli, she can appear anywhere as far as I am concerned and preferably when I’m nearby. What about inviting her on GoL?

The profession you wouldn't have wanted?
Executioner

Finally, if God exists, what would you like to hear him say after your death?
Welcome Big Al, dinner is ready and you’re sitting between Marylin Monroe and Mozart
