AMS: What is your most embarrassing moment?
MCK: During my first real teaching job, I thought I was all organized for my first period class. Turns out, I forgot to Xerox something. So, I ran to the copy room at the side of the school. By the time I got back, I was sweating perfusely. I started to take attendance, and the paper stuck to my arm because I was sweating so much.

AMS: If you could time travel, what year would you go to?
MCK: I would travel back in time so I could be rich. I would bet on things I knew I would win. Also, I would check out famous mysteries, like who shot Kennedy.

AMS: If you were stranded on a tropical island what are 3 things you would bring with you?
MCK: I’d bring my wife, a knife, and bug netting because I hate bugs.

AMS: What is your best high school memory?
MCK: This group came to my school and did “The Curly Shuffle” in our gym. It was really cool.

AMS: Where do you see yourself in fifteen years?
MCK: I see myself having 2 more master degrees, and playing with and spoiling my grandchildren.

AMS: What’s your dream job?
MCK: This is my dream job, I love what I do!

AMS: What’s your dug out song?
MCK: The Rocky Song because it just seems like a song that describes a little guy triumphing over a Jo Shmo.

AMS: Who would play you in a movie of your life?
MCK: Yul Brenner. He’s bald, and has a cool accent.

AMS: What dance describes you?
MCK: The Hokie Pokie because you put your right foot in, you put your right foot out, you put your right foot in, and shake it all about. It’s the only dance I can confidently do.

AMS: What would be your last supper if you were on death row?
MCK: I’d have Rosebud’s eggplant salad, Texas De Brazil, and an Oberweis banana split with extra pecans.

AMS: Do you have Beiber Fever?
MCK: No, I can’t get into him for some reason.
