Captain Keith Colburn Quiz

The Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy
The Naked Gun trilogy
The Bourne trilogy
Keith thinks the Bourne trilogy is a pretty sweet set of movies, along with the Lord of the Rings threesome. He also enjoys watching spaghetti westerns like "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly."
When Keith's not bringing home the bacon, what can you often find him doing?

Mice
Moths
Mites
Keith can't stand moths, or really any creatures that like to swarm around lights for that matter. Pesky critters like these are often a major nuisance for the captain and crew of the Wizard, since they're often working at night under bright lights.
What's one TV show you can typically catch Keith watching on the daily?
"SportsCenter"
"Jeopardy"
"The Colbert Report"
It has to be "SportsCenter!" Sorry, Alex and Stephen, better luck next time.
Which event does Keith consider to be one of his greatest moments?
The day he won the crab count, meaning when he arrived at port the Wizard was carrying more crabs than any other boat.
The day he won the skipper's wager, meaning the Wizard pulled in more crabs per pot than any other vessel.
The day he first set sail as the captain of the Wizard.
The time he won the crab count was a big day for Keith. Of course, special occasions like the births of his two children also make his list of top moments.

Who does Keith admire most?
The Wizard crew
The captain of his first boat, Alaska Trader
His grandfather
His grandfather, all the way.

That he gets to choose the itinerary
That nobody recognizes him
Keith likes his privacy when he travels, and he prefers it when nobody recognizes him.
What's the worst job in Keith's opinion?
Anything that would involve interacting with the public on a regular basis.
Anything that would involve staring at a computer screen all day.
Anything that would involve dealing with manure on routine occasions.
Keith thinks desk jobs that require someone to be constantly looking at a computer screen are the worst. Lucky for him he didn't have to write this quiz!
Keith has a serious case of legendary seaman's superstition. What's one of his essential charms used to ward off bad luck?
His lucky hat always sails with him.
Before he'll give the go-ahead to start pulling the first pots he has to blow the ship's foghorn three times.
He never leaves port on Sundays.
While Keith, along with the other captains, thinks it's very unlucky to leave port on a certain day, Friday's the day you'll never catch them setting sail. And among other things, he's also more than a little attached to his favorite hat, which he's worn ever since he started as the Wizard's skipper.
Tough Luck
You really missed the boat on this one. Better put on your survival suit.
Not too bad.
But Keith's got you pegged as a greenhorn and he's merciless with new guys.
Great job!
