Well, the day is nearly over and it’s been less than perfect. I did the doctor thing and all I’ll say about that is damn! Now, here’s a story about a man who asks a lot of questions. His name is Casper. And also in the story is a man who likes to answer questions. His name is Doug. So Casper asks them and Dougie answers them. And here we are. The end! Let’s do this.

What is the best movie from decades past?

It depends upon what decade you’re thinking about because there were lots of good movies in years past. East of Eden or Rebel Without A Cause, starring James Dean. Airplane, Crossroads, Chasing Amy, Clerks, Howard The Duck, Dracula, etc. Good movies are everywhere. So is Howard the Duck. (Love you Brent. I know it’s your favorite.) What I think is the best changes as often as my mood or the weather. But movies are good. ‘Nuff said!

What are the most annoying Disney songs?

I actually like most Disney stuff, but that one song about the mouse who has the club and is here for you and me – M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E. That one tends to annoy me.

What is the hardest word to spell?

No word is too hard. That’s why we have spell-check.

If you played cops and robbers growing up, which were you?

I was always the po-po…

Did you play cops and robbers when you were a kid?

Not often, but every so often. Usually, it was soldier or super-hero for me and my Peeps.

If you played cowboys and Indians, which were you?

I’m a pasty-ass white boy so I’d have to be the cowboy.

Are you a compulsive liar?

Unfortunately, no. I tend to speak too honestly sometimes. Just read these damn blogs. I have nothing to hide. Well, except for where your boyfriend was last night. I didn’t see him anywhere, really…

Have you ever broken one of the 10 commandments?’

I haven’t killed anyone that I’ll admit to, but the rest of them, I’ll take the 5th on that.

What is your favorite constitutional right?

The right to have bare arms. I always prefer to wear short sleeves. Free speech, freedom of religion, and owning and possessing guns are all pretty important too.

Have you ever picked strawberries in a strawberry patch?

Yes, I actually have.

What is the most annoying language to hear people speaking?

Urban English. It’s not English so much as screaming, grunting, and other weird sounds that make no sense to me at all. I don’t speak ghetto.

What do you think would be the neatest language to learn?

Either Japanese or Spanish. Japanese would be cool. Spanish so I could understand what my co-worker is saying when she’s mumbling under her breath at a moronic customer.

What is the best driving song to drive to?

Anything by AC/DC is good (the band, not the tag team), and I Can’t Drive 55 by Sammy Hagar. It just makes you want to speed.

Do you have a room in your house that you really don’t like?

The living room. It’s not my room and I feel like I’m intruding whenever I go into that part of the house.

Do you have a favorite room in your house?

My bedroom. It’s dark, cool, and best of all, no animals or other people allowed. And it’s quiet so I can actually relax and hear myself thing, something that is not possible at all in any other part of the house due to the family, the animals, that damn TV, the phone, etc.

And there you go. That’s all for now. My thanks to Casper for the questions. He’s on Twitter at @Ghostly_Host. Give him a look and follow. You’ll be glad you did. And now, I’m gone. Take care and stay safe. I’ll see you on the other side.
