Burton Speaks

Irony: i·ro·ny n The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

I'm Burton from Portland, Oregon, United States. I'm 33 and live in the Portland Metro Area. I work hard. I drive fast. I play often. I'm sarcastic, appreciate irony, and find humor in even the darkest of events. I'm non-traditional. I question authority. I'm a know-it-all and a planner. And most days, I wake up thinking the world is full of fundamentally good people... and have a lot of problems when I'm proven wrong. Any other questions?

Security Questions

Monday, September 29, 2008

So I'm trying to get this online banking thing working and it's asking me to pick from a list of security questions. The only problem? I'm not sure I could consistently answer these!

Them: Who is your favorite actor?
Me: Hmm... good question. Who is my favorite actor?

Them: What is your favorite food?
Me: I'm getting over a stomach bug, I can't even remember what food tastes like right now.

Them: What hospital were you born in?
Me: I wasn't born in a hospital.

Them: What is your dad's middle name?
Me: I'm not sure I can consistently spell it correctly. I couldn't even spell *my* middle name correctly until I was 15! (Darn those extra/missing letters on names rarely used!)

Do you see the problem here? It's quite the conundrum...

Kay said...: Oh, yes, it must be a genetic flaw we share, Burton. Certainly my favorite actor or movie, author or book changes from week to week. And how about the one "What is your favorite hobby?" Drat, I forgot to develop a hobby! Recently I came across what at first I thought was a perfect option: Who is your eldestt niece or nephew. About five minutes after I submitted her name, I remembered that she has an older brother. Gosh, what a lousy aunt I am :( --love, your dearest Mother; 12:56 AM, October 01, 2008
Anonymous said...: Who is your best friend in 'blank' grade? What's your first pet's name? What's the current time... i mean some of the questions i've seen are down right annoying and almost impossible to get right twice in a row..... i just use another generic password for those questions and answer them all the same.
