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’s something you completely changed your mind about and went from believing one thing to believing the exact opposite?

Abortion. I was cool with it growing up and felt that it was the mother’s choice, no big deal. Then my brother became a father and that amazing little man that was born. He had some problems, but he was the most incredible, beautiful child I’d ever seen. He stole my heart from Day One and when I think of what I would be missing if he wasn’t here. How can anyone hate or kill a child, a human life, and deny the world the opportunity to have these amazing little humans and watch them grow and develop? It’s beyond criminal that children, like him, are slaughtered and murdered daily for the sake of convenience or practicality. What changed my mind about abortion? I’ve been able to experience watching a baby grow up and it’s the most beautiful thing in the world. He is so smart, polite, inquisitive, and perfect. How can such beauty and magic be denied? It shouldn’t be, period. I love you, K.

Can A Chubby Woman Be Sexy?

It’s not the size that matters, but the way a person carries themselves and their confidence & personality that makes the difference. I’m not into women personally, but yes, a chubby woman or man can be sexy. No one wants to cuddle with a stick.

What’s the worst trait a person can have?

Lies. There is nothing worse than a liar.

Where would you rank Watermelon in the hierarchy of Fruit?

Watermelon is okay, but it’s not in my personal top three. Apples, tangerines, and grapes would take that spot, and maybe bananas too. It’s in the top ten, but probably in the latter half.

What gum tastes the worst?

Strawberry Bubblicious. It tastes like rubbery, artificial wax and is just fake as hell.

If you could make any person in America the next President but the one caveat is that this person could have never been a politician before in their lives, who would you choose and why?

That’s a tough call, but I think I would go with Vincent Kennedy McMahon. Yeah, try and impeach him and you’ll have Brock Lesnar knocking at your door. It would be a new era for the United States.

What is your favorite cartoon of all time?

Of all time, let’s go with the Looney Toons, featuring Bugs, Daffy, Porky, Elmer, and the rest. What’s up, Doc?

In three words or less, What is the key to good health?

Peace, exercise, cats.

What’s something you loved that you learned, later on, was absolutely terrible for your health?

My family. I love them very much, but they keep me stressed out and miserable. I’d be happier if I could just go away and be alone for a while. I can’t do that, nor would I ever do so, but it’s slowly killing me having to be the responsible one all the time.

What do you think of when you are told you are going to receive “fancy chocolate?”

I think of a box of assorted chocolate candies with a fancy ribbon on the box.

Can someone name ONE thing Kamala Harris has done to help our country?

I can think of a few things that she did to help former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, the much older, married political sleaze that took her under his wings (and into his bedroom), but to help our country, not a single damn thing.

What is one thing that everyone could use less of?

Stress. Stress kills.

What is a meal or type of food you never make for yourself at home and always order in or eat at a restaurant?

Fried chicken. I know how to cook it, fried in the cast iron skillet, but it’s so time-consuming and messy, I don’t have the patience. And why should I cook it when we have KFC and Nic’s Pic Kwik all within a couple of miles away?

Who is the greatest Bear of all time?

Professional wrestler and former WWWF Champion Ivan Koloff, aka The Russian Bear. He was one of the best and belongs in the WWE Hall of Fame, period. And if not Uncle Ivan, then Winnie the Pooh will work too.

What’s something weird or out-of-the-ordinary that’s happened to you within the last year?

I can’t think of anything. The past year has been kind of boring and I don’t leave the house often enough to experience much weirdness anymore. Weirdness has always been such a big part of my life, that I don’t even notice it much anymore. It’s just another day in the life. My bad!

And there you go. Thank you for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe. And with that, let’s wrap it up for the night. It’s nearly 6:00 am and I need to go sleep for an hour or two. Take care and be well, my friends. I’ll see you at the Dragon Park.
