Welcome my friends to the first edition of the Ultimate X Q&A. Yes, the beloved Questions (Not) By Casper has had a name change and will hopefully be the first of many changes and improvements to the site in the days and weeks to come. It’s the new stuff, the same as the old stuff, where I take a look at all of the random questions that come across my timeline at X, formerly known as Twitter, and give a reply. Sometimes fun, sometimes not, but always insightful. I like Q&As. What can I say? So sit back and enjoy. It’s the Ultimate X Q&A. Let’s do this.

Do you have trouble sleeping?

Does a Pope shit in the woods? Yes, I do, at night anyhow. Too many years of working the third shift have totally wrecked my sleeping schedule. The most I can do for any length of time is three hours.

What’s the worst thing to eat before a rough workout?

Taco Bell, I guess. How would I know? Like I work out, right?

Is weed legal where you live?

No, it’s still illegal, not that it seems to matter. That is some stinking ass crap, but everyone is open about smoking and smells like a piece of shit as a result.

Should women pursue men?

If they want them, go get them. Yes! And use a big club. Whack them in the head and take them home, ladies.

Have you ever had to use a laundromat?

Many times. I learned that the best time to go was Sunday morning, before the church people showed up and it was just me and the Mexican men. Damn, those guys were HOT!

Do you believe therapy can help people?

Some people, yes. Others require a different form of healing. And there are a few that are beyond help. But if needed, therapy can be a wonderful thing.

Are you stronger in the morning or the evening?

Late night/early morning is when I’m at my peak on everything.

Have you ever read a book?

Many hundreds, possibly thousands of them. Reading is fundamental! And one day, I’ll probably be writing them as well. At least that’s the plan.

Have you ever rented a movie from Blockbuster Video?

From Blockbuster specifically, no, I have not. My hometown, Laurinburg, was never big enough to have one. But we did have several privately owned video rental places and I frequented them quite often.

What’s your favorite holiday destination?

Straight to my bed, where your boyfriend is often waiting. My idea of a holiday is relaxing, having fun, and destressing. Your boyfriend is great for that. Don’t worry though. I’ll send him home when I’m through.

What is the greatest sports drink of all time?

Nothing beats ice-cold water, straight from the hose in the backyard. After that, ice-cold Natural Light works fine too.

What’s the best thing to add to an omelet?

If I’m doing the cooking, it’s eggs, cheese, ham, and diced green peppers/onions.

When do you eat your sides: Before or after the main course?

I usually eat them during the main course. I go back and forth between the different food items on my plate until I’m through.

Name three books that changed your life.

Notes to Myself, by Hugh Prather, The Vampire Chronicles, by Ann Rice, and of course, The Bible.

Are you still boycotting Bud Light?

No, and I never was. Bud Light is my beer of choice, along with Natural Light, and I don’t follow the sheep or masses, of either side, blindly. I like what I like and always will.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, or any questions are welcome and appreciated. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe. And with that, I’m in catch-up mode today as I’ve taken the past few days off so stick around and get ready for more great stuff. I’ll see you on the funny pages. I’m Doug and you’re not. Take care.
