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 always be 10 minutes late or always be 20 minutes early?

I hate being late for anything. If I’m not early, then I’m not showing up. It’s just that simple. Twenty minutes early? Sounds good to me.

Name a famous Sheriff.

The dreaded foe of the original Men In Tights, Robin Hood & his Merry Men, the Sheriff of Nottingham.

Should an adult child living in their parent’s home, pay rent?

Yes. That’s a no-brainer. Once you’re an adult, they don’t owe you a free ride. You’re an adult so behave like one.

Who are the greatest brothers of all time?

My bros, The Infamous One, Youngblood, Gregory, and Brent. No blood is involved, but loyalty, love, respect, and everything that matters, these are my guys.

If you could have unlimited storage of one thing, what would it be?

Room for my collections of comics, magazines, and music (albums, cassettes, CDs) and movies (VHS, DVDs).

Using only One word, what do you need right now?

Solitude.

The average person has 12 different jobs in their lifetime. Are you Over or Under that average right now?

I’m counting 15 right now, but the majority were in the same line of work, but just different companies. So I’m what? Slightly over the average. It’s not my fault though. Some managers can’t take a joke when you tell them to “go f*ck yourself!”. Oh well, my bad!

A WHOPPER or A BIG MAC! Which Do You Like Better?

I prefer the Big Mac, but I hate McDonalds and refuse to go to that nasty hole with the bad service and rude people that is the Laurinburg franchise so I do Whoppers more often than not.

Do you prefer nights out or nights in?

I’m not going out. There are people out there and people, for the most part, suck. I’ll stay home, thank you.

What was the most stupid covid policy in your opinion?

Closing the schools, churches, and businesses. It destroyed our economy, put the educational system into a tailspin, and was just an overreach by our Government where it wasn’t about safety, but just power and control.

How long does it take for you to get used to someone?

It depends on the person. Some folks, I take to immediately and it’s like they’ve always been here. For others, it may take months and it still doesn’t feel right or comfortable. I’d say on average, about a week or so, but it depends on the person and the vibe I get from them.

Do you try to hit a whole number when pumping gas?

Usually, yes. It makes it easier to remember when I’m balancing my checking account.

What’s the first thing you think of when you see/hear the word baseball?

Pete Rose. He belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Do you think the CIA, FBI, and other branches of the federal government influenced the 2020 election in Biden’s favor?

I don’t think. I know that the election was rigged and stolen. The basement dummy got 81,000,000 votes? Yeah, right!

Have you ever owned a pager?

When I was playing store manager in Wilmington, I had a pager so my store could get up with me when I wasn’t there. And then, after I came back home to Laurinburg, I used it to get booty calls.

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

Ubuntu!
