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.

When I say the word glamour who pops in your mind?

Movie stars of the past like Sophia Loren, Natalie Wood, and Elizabeth Taylor.

Who was the best Batman?

Adam West was the best, but in the more modern incarnations of the Dark Knight, I’d say Val Kilmer.

Would you rather spend 20 million on sending a killer whale back to the ocean or paying the best player in your NFL organization?

Football players are overpaid and overrated. Let’s save that whale.

What’s something you’ll never do again in your life?

Drink El Toro Tequila, date a woman, or fully trust anyone. Hey, don’t blame me. Life made me this way.

If Trump’s name is not on the ballot on Election Day, will you write in his name?

No, because a write-in vote won’t matter and won’t be counted. I’d vote for the best candidate available on the ballot and then make my displeasure about the absence of President Trump well-known via other means.

Would you rather have to read aloud every word you read or sing everything you say out loud?

Both options would suck, but I read a lot so reading out loud would get very old and annoying very fast. I’ll stick with the singing.

Would the world be a more peaceful place if we all spoke the same language?

Possibly, but I doubt it. People would still be evil, stupid, or assholes.

Do you put ketchup on Kraft Mac & Cheese?

No, and just the thought of it sounds extremely disgusting. Who does this?

The worst place to go for a honeymoon?

To stay with your ex or former in-laws. That might get very uncomfortable very quickly.

Who is the best modern role model men have for masculinity right now?

A modern role model who reeks of machismo and is a man we all should hope to emulate? Pee Wee Herman just passed away, so let’s go with The Rock. One can never go bad with The Rock.

Have you ever eaten chips on your sandwich?

Many times. It’s my favorite way to eat chips. They make the sandwich just that much better.

How do you get over a bad day at work?

I come home, get a good shower, and get on GRINDR for a little bit to find some fun. Or I write for a bit. Either/or.

Waffle House is not available, what is the greatest restaurant to have breakfast at?

The Waffle House here in our town is nowhere near the greatest unless you want to be shot, eat a bug, or appear on the latest episode of “Cops”. That place is disgusting. Just go to the drive-thru at Bojangles and have a biscuit. That’s probably the safest bet around here.

Should drivers be liable for hitting protestors if they are in the middle of the road?

If they’re on the road, they’re identifying as a speed bump and should be treated accordingly. No charges or liability for the drivers. The idiots should get the hell out of the way and if they’re not smart enough to understand that, then it’s no big loss.

What’s your go-to movie to put you in a better mood when you are having a bad mental health day?

Any Kevin Smith movie or Mel Brooks movie will work, but if it’s a really rotten day and I need that quick dose of pick-me-up, I’ll break out with The Rocky Horror Picture Show. No one can stay in a bad mood when Frank, Riff Raff, Magenta, Columbia, Eddie, Rocky, Brad, and Janet are all in the house.

Who is the greatest Edgar of all time?

Most will say the great writer Edgar Allen Poe. That’s a good choice, But I know of one better. A long-time friend and blood-brother of mine, Mr. Chad Edgar Boone. We don’t talk much anymore, but Chad is, has always been, and always will be “The Man”.

Do you believe in astrology?

Not really, but I always check out the different horoscopes for my sign, Cancer, every day online or in the papers. And then I pick the prediction that I like the best. It’s not real, but why take chances?

And there you go. My thanks 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 day. Take care and be well, my friends. I’ll see you at the picnic tables.
