Once upon a time, there was a man named Casper who lived on Twitter and asked lots of great questions. He asked and I would answer, thus Questions By Casper was born. But then one day, he vanished and I had to find another source for my Q&As. Well, Twitter stepped up and now provides me with lots of random questions. It’s not Casper anymore, but it’s still lots of great fun. Now it’s Questions (Not) By Casper. And it all starts right now. Let’s go.

Would you rather play the role of a villain or a hero in a movie?

Always play the villain if possible. I’m not the type of person who could pull off a goody-two-shoes character. I’m likable enough, but there’s enough darkness and questionable quirks to put people on edge, as it should be. Say hello to the Bad Guy!

What do you think is the most essential life skill?

Adaption. So long as you can roll with the punches and change as necessary, you will always find a way and be okay. That’s one of my major personal issues. I don’t like change if it can be avoided.

What would be the ideal name for a butler?

Jarvis or Alfred are the most obvious selections obviously, but I’d prefer something a little different. Just use the guy’s first name or call them Fairbanks. Either option works for me.

What’s a great song with “Saturday” in the title?

A great classic by Rickie Lee Jones is called “On Saturday Afternoon In 1963”. And here you go.

What’s the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen in person?

I remember a night at Myrtle Beach out by the ocean. It was dark with just the moonlight and the sound of the waves and water. And I just was looking out across the water, caught up in the power and beauty of it all. It was an amazing moment.

Who are your favorite Guardians of the Galaxy character?

Most people will say Groot, but I’m a big fan of Mantis. Not the MCU version, but the actual comic book version. I’ve used her in many of my Fan Fiction stories, available for your viewing pleasure at FanFiction.net under the pen name of TSFiction19. She’s just a great character with so much more to her than the movies allow or show.

Who’s your Rock Star crush? In their prime of course?

I’m almost ashamed to admit it, but I will. Donny Osmond.

Does anybody tell the actual truth?

Some people do, but it’s rare. Most people just tell you what they want you to know or what they think you want to hear, but there are a few who are blunt, straightforward, and honest. Those are the people I like and prefer.

What band just looks like the coolest to join?

Dr. Hook. A great band that had great music, plus they always seemed to be having fun.

Would you have a peacock for a pet?

It probably wouldn’t be my preference because it reminds me of Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter books, but if one did happen to wander up into the yard, I’d probably feed it and take a few pictures.

Why do you think the Foo Fighters have 3 guitarists?

Because when it comes to the business of fighting Foo, all help is needed and appreciated. The more, the merrier.

If I tell you that I want a gift from your field of work, what would you give me?

A few shot bottles, a mention in an article or story, and a hug. More if you’re a cute guy.

What are you currently obsessed with?

Some would say wrestling, but that’s not an obsession. That’s a lifestyle. I can’t think of anything. Maybe a few guys that I’ve been talking to recently. They’re on my mind more than is probably healthy, but they’re cute, have those eyes that just draw you in, and great butts so it’s not my fault.

Have you ever known anyone with a third nipple or a superfluous third nipple?

Three nipples? I know a couple of guys who have that particular infliction. Luckily, I like nipples though so it’s kind of fun and interesting.

Liver & Onions. Yes or no?

Nope. I don’t like liver. Never have and probably never will.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions about anything at all are welcome and appreciated. And with that, let’s wrap it up. Take care and be well, my friends. I’ll see you on the funny pages.

Ubuntu!
