I like my job. I like traveling. And I LOVE my WIFE and SON... I have the best jobs I could ask for - I travel around the world to eat and drink in exotic locations. I have the coolest wife. And, when those two things meet, that's when I'm happiest. She's was in the background watching me shoot in Belize, Venice, Brazil and France. But, right now, she can't travel too much right now, because she's home with our little boy. THAT is what life's all about.
Music
Who cares what kind of music I like...? But, here's music to your ears-- or maybe "your eyes". Anyways... Here are the Three Sheets Drinking Game Rules!
1. When I drink, you drink. Simple enough-- although this rule in itself can be a bit daunting.
2. When I talk about my buddy, Steve McKenna, it's a social. (Incidentally, Steve McKenna is coming on all of the ZaneCrawls, so you can imagine how "social" that weekend is. Yikes!)
3. The first person to see Pleepleus (my stuffed monkey) gets to make someone else drink.
4. When I burp, the last person to give the "Good Burp" sign (thumb on your forehead, pinky in the air) drinks.
5. If you "Jim-The-Cop" (spill your beer while drinking, or chugging) you have to buy someone a drink. If you're watching at home, or a friend's house, make a run to the fridge.
6. New Rule for Season Three:If you ever spot me holding a drink improperly you can make someone drink. Here are the proper positions:
FOO FOO DRINK This would be a drink that masks the taste of alcohol with the taste of sugar. They are sweet, blended, brightly colored, or have an umbrella in them. In this case, my pinky should be up in the air.
MAN-GRIP DRINK This is a general drink, like a Beer, Jack & Coke, Vodka Cranberry, where the the sweetness doesn't hide the taste of alcohol. in this case, all of my fingers should be in contact with the glass.
GENTLEMAN DRINK This Frank Sinatra. This is a straight-up spirit, like Bourbon, Scotch, Tequila, or anything else that it not cut (except by water, vermouth, or club soda). All fingers should be on the glass except for the index finger-- It should be pointing out with confidence.
Movies
Who cares what movies I've seen..?. Here's an idea for a movie: It's the story of how Pleepleus came to be...
People are always asking Zane how I came to be. Here’s the story...
In the summer of 2005, my wife and I wife got engaged in the desert outside of Los Angeles. On the drive home, I said "Now that we’re getting married, we should let any skeletons that we have out of the closet". Neither my wife or I had any good secrets, so I made one up.
"Um... This is weird, but I have to name my first born ’Pleepleus’," I told her, "It’s a family tradition."
"Cool," she replied.
Oh, we laughed, and forgot about it. Until...
I went to shoot my first episode of "Three Sheets" in Ireland. I left my fiancé (now my wife) behind (although I've since taken her along a bunch of shoots). When I arrived in Galway, Ireland and opened my suitcase, I saw a stuffed toy monkey with a note from Jen that read, "Mama sent me to take care of you. [signed] Pleepleus".
And the rest is history... Actually... And the rest is a drinking game!
I hid Pleepleus in that episode and every episode since (except for Costa Rica and Jamaica, where I forgot Pleepleus and bought a stand-in monkey. And in Croatia, because I left him in a beer bath in the Czech Republic).
Drink!
Television
Uh... "Three Sheets" and "Have Fork, Will Travel". That guy's CRAAAAAZY!!!
Books
What's a book? Oh, is it that thing with all them pictures? I like pictures.
Heroes
Teachers, volunteers and environmentalists... Just kidding-- Superman.
Many people ask why Pleepleus is called "Pleepleus", and where his name came from. To find out, go to his MySpace page. He's one of my top friends.

Zane... You are now a top friend... I am just debating whether you are worth $2000 to booze with... That's like the equivalent of 10 hookers, 8 bottles of Jack, and money to post bail.... Will your trip be as fun???
Zane, You da man! I would love to go crawling with you but I just cant spend that kinda cash right now! So I guess I'll just watch ya on three sheets instead. Take care dude!
