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.

Joey isn’t available. Who is your favorite Friends character?

This one is tough because of all the characters on Friends, Joey was probably the only one that I liked and could see myself hanging out with if he was a real person. The rest of that crowd though? Uugh! Probably Chandler, even though I was always wanting to punch him in the face. He was annoying but better than the rest of that group.

What restaurant would you like to see come to your town?

A Sonic. I’ve been wanting a good Foot-Long for a while now. I need it. And I like hot dogs too.

Finish this sentence: This path will take you __.

To wherever it leads.Hell if I know. Just follow it already.

When you watch TV or stream a movie do you have the closed caption on?

If I’m watching late at night where I have to have the volume turned down to be respectful, a practice that is not shared by anyone else in this household, or if I’m watching a foreign film with subtitles, then yes, I’ll turn on the CC so I have an idea of what’s going on.

Do you support the impeachment of Joe Biden?

If that’s what it takes to get rid of the pedophile basement dummy, so be it.

What are your thoughts on Lord of the Rings?

Randall describes it perfectly in this clip from Clerks 2. ‘Nuff said!

If someone offered you $776 million to move to Saudi Arabia and play soccer every day for a year, would you do it?

Sign me up and let’s go. I’m not sure how good of a soccer player I would be, but hell, I’ll give it a shot. Show me the money!

What job won’t be replaced by machines or computers any time soon?

Clerks at the liquor store. Dealing with the daily ins and outs of business at the ABC takes a special kind of patience and skill, something no machine could ever replicate, nor would they want to.

Describe the Republican Party in one word.

Cowards.

What’s a great book, movie, or documentary about a band or music artist you like?

I’d love to see either a book or documentary about Rickie Lee Jones. Maybe a book about Evan Dando of the Lemonheads. And Tommy Page, the unofficial New Kid on the Block, would make a great topic as well.

Bring back any canceled TV shows?

I’d love to see a modern-day version of All In The Family, where Stephanie now lives in the Bunker house, gets visited regularly by Mike & Gloria, has Joey as a roommate, and Joey is dating the son of Lionel & Jenny Jefferson. What would Archie & Edith think?

What does the average American do 22 times a day?

I know what I’d like to do 22 times a day with a certain guy, but I don’t think that’s the same thing that this question is looking for. I’ll say check the cell phone.

Would you rather humans discover a signal from intelligent life from another planet or figure out how to extend human life for another 100 years?

I’m pretty sure that we’ve been in communication with life from other planets for years now and our government is just too chickenshit to admit it. Extending life for another hundred years? If good health and mental stability could/would be part of the deal, that would be pretty cool, but it would quickly overpopulate our planet, which wouldn’t be a good thing. Let’s go with admitting to talking to aliens.

What’s one movie you’re embarrassed to admit you enjoy?

I hate to admit it, but I liked Frozen. And Frozen II as well. They’re no Chasing Amy or Mallrats, but I liked them anyhow. Let it snow!

Comedian in a serious film or a serious actor in a comedy film?

I like seeing the normally funny people do the serious roles every so often. I think of Robin Williams in One Hour Photo as an example. He should have won some major awards for that role. He did it so well.

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