Profile of Briesemeister, Chris

Don't make me destroy you.

CJBriese@thoughtworks.com

Nickname: Breeze. I am also known as Big Bopper on the volleyball courts, and in jolly old England they call me the Beer Monster. Those crazy Brits.

Pets: None

Hobbies: I collect spores, molds, and fungi.

High School: Greenfield High School

College: University of Wisconsin-Madison

Favourite Local Bar: I'm still too new to town to pick one, but chances are if it serves beer, it scores points on the plus side.

Favourite Out-of-Town Bar: The "Fish Hut" in Barbados. Flying fish burgers and Banks beer on the Caribbean coast; ain't nothin' better.

Favourite Band: Rush

Favourite Song Lyric: "You're on the road but you've got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over you."
-U2 "It's a beautiful Day"

Favourite Board Game: Operation (the drinking game version)

Favourite Web Pages: I like movies

My car: Porsche Boxster, although its a Pontiac Grand Prix when I'm awake.

Who would play me in "ThoughtWorks: The Movie": John Cusack for looks, but I've been told that Tim Robbins would make a far better me. (But for those of you who have seen High Fidelity I don't wear rings and I am not a Supertramp fan).

Most embarrassing moment at ThoughtWorks: Nobody's caught me yet...er--I mean--None.

Favourite Malt Liquor: Mickey's

Favourite Potato Entree: Mashed Potatoes

Favourite way to get arrested: Moonshining. Like Uncle Jesse in the Dukes of Hazzard.

Favourite facial expression: The O-Face. (You know what I'm talkin' about).

Favourite brand of stapler: Swingline

Favourite woodwind instrument: Bass Clarinet

Favourite mispronunciation of my last name: Booze-und-schlafer. (Which is an English-German hybrid meaning one who drinks and passes out).
