Ten questions will determine which East Montgomery County neighborhood you're from, or your money back. (But, of course, there is no money involved.) Beware: stereotypes ahead!

1

What's on your iPod/CD player/music listening device lately?
- Salsa, cumbia and horchata. I'm not sure if the third one is actually music, but I've gotten hooked on all of them.
- TV On The Radio. I don't understand it, but Pitchfork loved it, so it's a go.
- The kids have me listening to Hannah Montana all the time. I keep counting the days until they leave home.
- Rascal Flatts! Nothing says "real American music" like country.
- Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger. I know it's not 1965.
- Podcasts from NPR. I can learn about the strife in Darfur while going on my daily jog, and it is spectacular.

How far is "far"?
- The Beltway. I know people actually LIVE out there, but I prefer to stay out of the suburban wilds.
- Nowhere! My block looks like the United Nations.
- D.C. If I had a reason to go back into the city, I wouldn't have moved away.
- The parking garage. If there's nowhere for my car to go, it's nowhere for me to go.
- There are no limits to your imagination! We are all one planet.
- Glenmont. If the Metro don't go there, it don't exist.

What's the biggest little crisis in your life right now?
- Hunter got a C in geography! He's going to be a garbage man for the rest of his life!
- I'm pretty sure there are fourteen people living next door to me.
- There's a new rust stain on the pickup! Is it time to trade the old girl in?
- Everyone across the world is starving! I can't sleep at night thinking about it.
- Last call is at 2 a.m.! Seriously, who thought of that?
- Which is more historically accurate for a bathroom: pewter fixtures or brushed steel?
4

If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it?
- Send my kids to Harvard and get a membership at the country club! Finally, I've arrived!
- I'd send it all to some small, impoverished African country, but keep a few thousand for myself. You know, for macrame and stuff.
- Shopping spree! And, after that, a decent security system for my house to keep all those goodies safe.
- Buy a penthouse and throw the wildest parties you've ever seen.
- Buy up my neighbor's land and race four-wheelers on it. It's gonna be sweet!
- Hire an architect and some contractors to finish renovating this damn house, and give myself a long, long vacation.

What kind of car do you drive?
- '98 Toyota Camry . . . you know, the one with the key marks down the side.
- Flexcar, baby! And, of course, I got my SmartTrip card for the Metro.
- Honda Odyssey EX with all of the options, including the built-in washer and dryer.
- F-150 pickup truck. Built Ford Tough!
- A Schwinn 21-speed city bike. Our auto-dependent society is not sustainable.
- BMW 5-Series. You know, we could've gone for the 7, but it seemed just too ostentatious.
6

What sounds like a good meal to you?
- Hold on! Let me see what Rachael Ray's making tonight.
- Whole wheat spaghetti with prosciutto, served with some ciabatta bread.
- A Chipotle burrito, Coldstone for dessert, and Chick-Fil-A for the ride home.
- A bean sprout sandwich, served on vegan bread and washed down with soy milk.
- Peruvian chicken, Chinese fried rice and challah, just for good measure.
- It doesn't matter, just as long as it's fried.
7

Your neighbors tend to make a lot of noise late at night. What do you do?
- Call 'em up and join in! After all, I'm a night owl myself.
- Knock on their door and ask them to stop. We're all adults; they can be reasoned with.
- Put on my rain sounds CD and try to meditate in the hopes I can block out the negative energy.
- Buy earplugs and sulk. If my neighbors understood English, I'd tell them to stop.
- Get the HOA president on the phone RIGHT NOW! It's a public nuisance and it MUST stop.
- I'd be surprised if I heard my neighbors, 'cause they're a half-mile away.
8

It's Saturday night. What are you doing?
- Snuggled on the couch, watching PBS and thumbing through the Restoration Hardware catalog.
- Fitting one last store into an all-day shopping spree.
- At the coffeehouse, listening to your favorite Chilean guitarist play songs from his homeland.
- Bidding on some sophomore's horrible paintings at the high school art auction.
- Getting liquored up, then finding some parking lot where they won't hassle you for loitering.
- Strolling down Ellsworth, playing "Spot the Emo Kid."
9

What's the first thing you do after waking up?
- Coffee, coffee, coffee! I can't function without it.
- Look outside to see the car's still there, and go back in for a long, hot shower.
- Make breakfast, pack lunch, wake the kids up, get them cleaned and dressed, take a shower, and head out the door. And that's before the sun comes up.
- Stand on the deck and watch the dew fall from the grass. Yes, this is God's country.
- Deep breathing exercises, followed by some chanting. And then maybe an orange.
- Grab the Post and hit the Op-Ed page. Charles Krauthammer, you're too much!
10

If you have kids, what kind of school will you put them in?
- Pray that they get into the magnet school, that's all I can hope for.
- We're looking at private schools. It may cost a little more, but anything's better than handing your kid over to MCPS to be corrupted.
- Kids? I don't even have time for kids now - if ever!
- We'd like a school where you don't get knifed in the bathrooms, if that's not asking too much.
- A school with a spectacular football team.
- A nice experimental school - somewhere without rules and restrictions, so they can grow.
