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.

Which TV show finale left you speechless?

I haven’t watched regular television in so long, it’s hard to remember back that far. Let’s go with Dallas and JR Ewing seemingly meeting the Devil and committing suicide. Of course, that didn’t happen and JR and the rest of the Ewings were back in a series reboot several years later. But at the end of the original series, it was a shocking (and dumb) moment.

What is something that is a scam but is so normalized that most people don’t even notice?

The whole transgender lies and sex-affirming surgeries for children. The whole movement is such a delusional bunch of crap and so fake. BLM would fall under this as well.

Who is the greatest fictional salesperson of all time?

From the BBC series, Are You Being Served, the always awesome Mr. Humphries. And don’t worry. It’ll ride up with wear.

How different is the social environment for kids in school now versus 10 or 20 years ago?

Now, school is a brainwashing factory of misinformation where independent thought is not only discouraged but opposed entirely and where being taught the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic are totally ignored and forgotten. 20 years ago, at least a few people learned and developed social skills and knowledge from the schools. Now, not so much.

What is ‘mieskeit’? What does it mean?

I do not know, nor do I care. Okay, I care. Looking it up, it means an ugly person. I just learned something. So, why not just say ugly? I’m all for new words, but why overcomplicate things? Just call someone an ugly bitch and be done with it.

Without Saying Your Job, Poorly explain what you do for work.

I provide resources to instigate ruined lives, bad decisions, and a poor quality of life. And in my other career, I encourage people to watch men in their underwear fake violence with soap opera storylines.

Do you believe Aliens are real?

Yes, they are. And that’s why we need to build the wall, enforce the laws on the books, and deport every person illegally in our country. And if you’re talking about visitors from other planets, I would say yes to that as well.

What four singers would you put on your Mt. Rushmore of singers?

I’d go with Alice Cooper, Waylon Jennings, Frank Sinatra, and Dolly Parton.

Who is the greatest fictional sidekick of all time?

Is Silent Bob fictional? And who is the real sidekick between Jay & Silent Bob? They’re not sidekicks, but instead, a team. So let’s go with Harry Potter’s sidekick, Ron Weasley. He’s actually pretty annoying, but that’s the first name to come to mind.

Do you say bless you when someone sneezes?

Every time. My mother taught me to have manners.

What’s your favorite Wham! Song?

I love Careless Whisper and almost every song in the WHAM catalog. My favorite though? It’s this one right here.

Would you describe yourself as mostly happy or mostly unhappy?

Mostly unhappy. I’m trying to do better, but life can be a bitch at times, and for the past several years, the shots have been coming fast and furious. I’m working on it, but I think I need a good man… or hell, at this point, even a woman. I’m tired of being alone.

What is the greatest car company of all time?

Let’s go with the Nazi’s… I mean Volkswagen. Two of my first three cars were VW Bugs. I loved those cars.

What is the greatest horoscope sign of all time?

Cancer. We may be moody, emotional, somewhat crazy, and very creative, but we are awesome lovers, awesome friends, and just all-around awesome. Plus, I’m a sexy beast and I’m a cancer. And there you go.

Godzilla or King Kong?

King Kong was a big monkey. Godzilla is the King of the Monsters. ‘Nuff said!

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. Also please be sure to like, share, and subscribe. And with that, let’s wrap things up. Take care and be well, my friends. I’ll see you at the Karaoke Machine.
