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 was the first job you ever earned money to do?

When I was 7-8 years old, there were these two 16-year-old boys that… Okay, forget about that. The first real job that I remember was when I was 13-14, I’d go to the store where my Mom was working, a place called Super Dollar, and when the trucks came in, I’d grab the hand cart and help unload the stock from the truck and made a few dollars in the process. Good times.

Favorite Iggy Pop song?

This classic duet with Kate Peirson from the B-52s is a lovely song called “Candy”.

Why do older men look so hot?

Older men have confidence, and experience, and are rocking that silver mane. Woof!

Are you packing?

In more ways than one. I’ve never had any complaints.

If you had 6 minutes left to live, what’s the last song you’d listen to?

I’d probably spend that last six minutes looking for that song and not be able to decide or find one I like. Or I’d play this one, a great song written by Lou Reed. I love this version, where it’s sung and performed by… well, everyone.

Who is the greatest Gorilla of all time?

Let’s go with legendary wrestler/announcer Gorilla Monsoon. He was Bobby “The Brain” Heenan’s favorite wrestler.

What are some of the most popular things to do where you grew up?

We’d wrestle/fight in the front yard, play basketball, drink nasty-ass cheap wine, and watch movies from the video store.

If aliens are real, would you fuck one?

Yes, they are real and if they have a great ass or pretty eyes, I’d make a move on the cute Martian dudes.

Do you think Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could BEAT Joe Biden if the Democrats didn’t rig the primary?

I think The Tidy Bowel Man could beat Biden if the election and primary weren’t rigged.

Who is the greatest fictional teacher of all time?

Professor Snape from the Harry Potter movies Yes, he was an ass, but he knew his stuff about potions.

What horror movie character reminds you of yourself?

Louis, from Interview With A Vampire.

If you believe in a higher power, how are you connecting to it today?

I say my prayers daily, usually multiple times. And I’ll have a “talk” with our creator at some point during the day as well.

Be honest, are you here for anything other than money?

Money is a necessary evil, but I’m here at this site to express myself creatively and help preserve my sanity, what little there is of it left.

How much should a guy spend on an engagement ring?

It’s not the price that matters, but the love and emotions behind it. I mean, don’t be a cheap ass getting a ring from a Cracker Jack box, but don’t go into debt for the rest of your life either. Use common sense, but just be real and make it matter.

Who was your favorite actor to play The Joker?

Heath Ledger. Any other answer is wrong.
