• Define punk rock for me

  The Clash

  19 August 2008

  Ever since I was 13, The Clash were, and still do to this day, define punk rock for me. After listening to the blaring riffs of London's Burning, I knew that, at least on the inside, I would be a punk for a long time.

• Knows what they're doing

  Victorinox Swiss Army Knife

  19 August 2008

  After owning one of their watches for over a year as well as going to their factory in Ibach, I can tell you that this company, to say the least, knows what the hell they're doing. I don't think I'll ever NOT have one of their knives on a camping trip or another brand on my wrist any time soon.

• The Man's Man

  James Bond

  12 February 2009

  Words cannot describe how deep this character is rooted in my mind. Ever since I was thirteen, he has been the Man's Man. Period.

• Stood, astounded

  Stanley Kubrick

  12 February 2009

  The first time I saw Dr. Strangelove, I neither laughed, nor cried, but stood, astounded at what the world was and what the world is through Stanley's eyes. Quite a few of his films later (A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, and The Shining), and I still don"t think I'll ever love a director's film more than those by Stanley Kubrick.
