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.

What film do you think should have won an Academy Award for Best Picture but didn’t?

An easy answer here. The Wrestler, starring Mickey Rourke. Back in 2008, this movie was made and pushed all the right buttons. It was so well done and that Rourke didn’t win an Oscar is a true travesty. It’s probably his best movie role ever.

What do you think about while in the shower?

I just hope I don’t fall over. My thoughts tend to wander about what my plans are for the day, what I can write about for the site, and what/who can I do to improve my life and find that elusive path to happiness.

What is Your Favorite Star Wars Movie?

The very first one, Star Wars. My dad took me to see it in the movie theatre when it first debuted in 1977 and though it probably wasn’t a big thrill for him, it was awesome for this 11-year-old kid and was a great experience. Most of the movies that followed were “Eh!” at best to me, but the first one was great.

Which celebrity do you just not understand the hype for?

The Kardashians, Snoop Dogg, LeBron James, etc. Take your pick. They all suck!

Who is the 1 superhero or villain you’re pretty sure you can beat up?

Mr. Mind, the worm-like creature from the Captain Marvel/SHAZAM comics/movies. I’d squash him like a bug, mainly because he is a bug. And there you go.

True or False. Gen Z is the most useless and demonic generation of Americans America has ever produced.

True, true, a million times true.

Would you rather someone read your diary or someone read your text messages?

Read my text messages. All they’ll get from those are that I’m funny, perverted, a nice guy, and a bit impatient. My diaries have names and could ruin marriages, destroy lives, and probably cause an end to this world as we know it, at least for some people. Yeah, stick with the texts.

What are you sick of people constantly telling you?

That I need to “grow up” and get new friends, quit wasting my time on the computer, and “do things”. It’s my world and my life and I’ll decide what’s best for me, thank you!

Do you ever ask yourself, “How are people so dumb?”

Every single time I go online to Twitter or Facebook, or go to work, or Walmart, I ask that question. And then I ask myself, “Can they get any stupider or dumber?”. And the answer always seems to be, “Hold my blunt!”, and yes.

Why is it called “hamburger” when it’s made from beef?

Because hamburger rolls off the tongue better than saying “Fried cow meat”.

Serious question; do you keep your bread in the fridge or not?

I will put bread in the freezer to store sometimes if we won’t be using it anytime soon and want it to last longer, but the fridge? No, I’ve never done that. It just sounds weird to me.

What is something in your kitchen that you couldn’t live without?

A stove. I love to cook and I need an item to cook with, thus the stove and four burners on top.

What would you do with $10 million?

Save most of it, pay off bills and debts, and probably move to an old house in the country, never to be seen in public again.

When you were a kid playing sports, who was the professional athlete you wanted to be like?

I was a wrestling fan growing up and even though I played all the sports like football, basketball, etc., it was the wrestlers that I looked up to and admired. I wanted to be like The Sheik, from the wrestling magazines. Wear a turban, be obnoxiously rich, and carve my opponents up like a piece of fried chicken. That was so cool to me.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe. And with that, let’s wrap things up. Take care and be well, my friends. I’ll see you in the kiddie pool.
