new thread already! Is it spoilery to say it looks like Eli likes sandwiches?

[4Florrick]

TftnT!

[Kalinda Smith]

Nobody for Gold?

Going for it... once... twice...

01 - White lie or Painful truth?
Depends on who that's for. I think he'd lie to a client to make him feel in confidence but everyone else gets the Truth Salad without the dressing!

02 - 10 acquaintances or 2 close friends? Oh he's an extrovert. No doubt about it. As many acquaintances as possible. People are a currency in his business and he's filthy rich with it!

03 - Hug or Kiss? I don't see him doing either.

04 - Closest friends:? Someone outside politics. He's a classical pianist, right? I think a fellow musician, maybe someone he spent long painful hours with, rehearsing and learning with.

05 - Best quality as a friend? His friends are probably the only ones he won't stab in the back without blinking to get a client off

06 - The worst thing a friend could to do him/her? Vote for the other candidate Nah. Not appreciate his job.

07 - Coffee: black, sugar, cream? Black. very black.

08 - Smoking / Non-smoking? Well no-one smokes on tv anymore but I don't think he would if he could.

09 - Hot Dog or Salad? Hot Dog with relish Salads are for sissies!

10 - Favorite Food? sandwiches yep something fast that doesn't require too much time choosing, preparing or eating.

11 - Favorite Alcoholic beverage? Champagne or cognac. Something expensive and very fine.

12 - Favorite Non-alcoholic beverage? Pepto Bismol

13 - Favorite Snack? Cashews

14 - Cravings? Cake? he did a number on the one in Alicia's kitchen!

15 - Favorite Ice-cream flavour Lime sherbet, something tart but sweet

16 - Salty, Sweet or Spicy? I could see him spicy.

17 - Usual Breakfast? Coffee on the go. Breakfast is a waste of valuable time. Especially if you're alone.

18 - Home-made meals or Takeout? Take out. But not from the Chinese around the corner.

19 - In her/his fridge: mayo, mustard, some condiments, maybe some pastrami or salmon... stuff that can be eaten on the run.

Exactly! I can totally see him make disgusted faces if someone tried to hug him. Kinda reminds me of Paris Gellar from GG.

Really? That totally escaped my attention! Shame on me! But I can see him BFF with a fellow pianist.

Well no-one smokes on tv anymore

Except from people at Sterling and Cooper!

[Kalinda Smith]

Really? That totally escaped my attention!

Peter said he was a classically trained concert pianist in his first episode, I think.

Except from people at Sterling and Cooper!

yeah and the tobacco industry thanks them very much. There is an uproar about the way they make cigarettes cool again and I tend to agree. It wouln't be realistic for them not to in that era but they don't have to glamourizing the way they do. That's just wrong.

Thanks for reminding me! This takes Eli on a new level of awesomeness!

Kinda reminds me of Thank you for smoking. I can imagine tobacco lobbists are more than happy.

Truth Salad! yeah that sounds like Eli. "Stay in school, don't do drugs, stay out of my way"

I can totally see him make disgusted faces if someone tried to hug him. Kinda reminds me of Paris Gellar from GG

Hehe. He has a warm and understanding face but it's not much to look at

Closest friends:? Someone outside politics

he most likely has lots of "friends" in politics but if he has any real close friends, they probably are not in that world. I don't think he would trust anyone in the business with any secret.

06 - The worst thing a friend could to do him/her? Vote for the other candidate Nah. Not appreciate his job.

Hehe for that one I had "whine that they never get to seem them because of his work"

Smoking / Non-smoking? Well no-one smokes on tv anymore but I don't think he would if he could.

It's true how that changed the mentalities. Is there anyone on the cast we'd see smoking? Nobody yet, right? Here everyone smokes so it's hard to imagine who wouldn't but I'm not sure how the situation is in the US with tobacco so it's harder to imagine what type of character would or wouldn't.
Still, I agree. I don't think Eli would smoke.

10 - Favorite Food? sandwiches yep something fast that doesn't require too much time choosing, preparing or eating.

so you still think he's a single man, uh?

12 - Favorite Non-alcoholic beverage? Pepto Bismol

if he didn't need it before, he'll need it now! This campaign is going to be a tough one.

14 - Cravings? Cake? he did a number on the one in Alicia's kitchen!

which cake?

18 - Home-made meals or Takeout? Take out. But not from the Chinese around the corner.

expensive eateries? It's funny I can't picture him eating alone at home. I think he'd either be having lunch or dinner with a client or a contact in an expensive restaurant somewhere but I don't see him at home so much.

thanks for trying it on for size.

Kinda reminds me of Thank you for smoking

oh what a great movie!

[Kiki17]

which cake?

The pineapple upside down cake they made for Peter

Hug or Kiss? I don't see him doing either.

I do not either

Good answers Lil

The pineapple upside down cake they made for Peter

ooooooh. Did Eli eat that? he wasn't even in that scene

[Kiki17]

Remember when he is in the kitchen by himself and Bambi comes in, he is having some cake in that scene

[Kalinda Smith]

Loved that movie! and yeah I'm sure the lobbyists are getting a lot of mileage out of that one.

Truth Salad!

Heh without dressing!

Hehe for that one I had "whine that they never get to seem them because of his work"

close enough

Here everyone smokes so it's hard to imagine who wouldn't

you don't, do you? I mean with the asthma and all...

so you still think he's a single man, uh?

oh yeah. Or divorced. Another workaholic married to his job.

It's funny I can't picture him eating alone at home

Maybe you're right. He certainly can eat out every day if he wants to.

Remember when he is in the kitchen by himself and Bambi comes in, he is having some cake in that scene
