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.

Finish this sentence: Right now is the perfect time to _.

… Write for a while because sleep isn’t coming any time soon.

Which actor or actress owned a role so great nobody else could have ever done it?

Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark or Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow.

What are the best steak seasonings?

Cooking with onions, garlic pepper, and lots of love.

What song mentions beefcake pantyhose?

I’m not sure. Cyndi Lauper’s She-Bop is the first one that comes to mind and I’m not even sure about that. Alice Cooper mentions panty-hose in King of the Silver Screen. Those are the only songs I can think of.

What movie have you seen more than seven times?

All of the Kevin Smith View-Askew movies (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Dogma, Clerks 2), plus Airplane, Police Academy (all of them), and Rebel Without A Cause.

What was a huge deal when it happened but now everyone seems to have forgotten about it?

That little sub went down to explore the Titanic and then imploded, killing everyone aboard. Also, the Supreme Court leaked decision.

Would you rather live on the beach or in a cabin in the woods?

How about in a cabin near a private beach? Works for me.

Sleeping with the bedroom door closed or open?

I keep it closed or else I’ll wake up surrounded by 2 cats and a dog.

How is it even possible that Biden supposedly has a higher approval rating now than he did in May? HOW?

Fake polls and lots of lying.

What could possess a grown man to want to put on a dress, high heels, and makeup on his face? Do family and reputation mean anything?

Maybe he just wants to look pretty? Either that or severe mental illness. Take your pick.

Best teacher that you will never forget?

My 7th-grade teacher at Daniels Junior High School in Raleigh, NC. Mrs. Lilian Brower. She taught both English and Social Studies and was an amazing teacher and also a good friend.

Do you care what other people think of you?

I used to, but now, as I get older, I find that I couldn’t care less what others think. I’m a grown man and I pay my bills. Screw what everyone else thinks. Take me as I am or leave me alone. Either way is fine with me.

How would you describe the taste of potato to someone who’d never had it?

It’s kind of a dull taste of root and dirt when eaten raw. Fried is much better with a bland taste, but if seasonings are added, can be quite enjoyable.

If You Won The 560 Million Dollar Mega Millions, Would You Quit Your Job?

Not unless I had no other options. I love my job and the people that I work with.

The new Snow White movie has Snow White as Hispanic and the 7 Dwarfs have six full-grown adults. Thoughts?

I’ve seen the pictures that were leaked and it seems that they were fake. But if this was true, mainly about the dwarfs, it would be kind of screwed up. The seven dwarfs are dwarfs. It even says so in their title, so they should be portrayed by little people, aka midgets. Anything else is just wrong.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe. Questions, comments, and thoughts are welcome and appreciated. And with that, let’s wrap things up. Take care and be well and I’ll see you in the cornfield.
