Welcome my friends to 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 agree that Joe Biden is using the federal government to interfere in the 2024 election?

Not so much Joe Biden, but whoever the true behind-the-scenes leader that is calling the shots definitely is. Joe is just the puppet leader and frontman, but he’s not the one in charge. But that being said, yes, the government is causing election interference to make sure their puppets stay in power.

What brings you peace throughout the day?

My bed. It’s dark in there, cool, quiet, and there are no damn cats or dogs. It’s absolute tranquility.

Is Marijuana a recreational drug or medicine?

It’s a recreational crutch for people who can’t handle reality. Yes, it has medicinal purposes, but the majority of smokers are just using it to get high, numb themselves from the world we live in, and make themselves into smelly little morons. Why can’t they just drink alcohol like the rest of us?

Group hangout or one-on-one hangout?

That all depends upon who I’m hanging out with, but in general, I prefer one-on-one situations better.

Who is the greatest rapper of all time?

The Real Roxanne. Okay, I’m kidding, but she is a rap icon. Based on sales alone, the greatest would be Eminem.

What is the greatest romantic song of all time?

Let’s go with Paul McCartney and Maybe, I’m Amazed.

Do you like to combine foods on your plate or do you prefer to keep each food separate and eat one thing at a time?

I like to keep the food apart and separate, but when eating, I go back and forth, eating all of the items at once. Yes, I’m weird.

Who was your favorite Golden Girl?

All four women had their appealing qualities, as well as their annoying traits as well, so it’s hard to choose just one from the rest. But that being said, I think Sophia would be my favorite.

What do you do to fall asleep when you can’t?

I just lay there until the sleep takes over or I overthink every situation I’ve ever been involved in and every conversation I’ve ever had until Fatigue takes over and I doze off.

Come on down! You’re the next contestant on the Price is Right.
Bob Barker or Drew Carey?

Bob Barker for sure. Drew Carey just doesn’t feel right to me.

Be Honest, If someone drinks about 3-5 beers daily. Does this make them an alcoholic?

More often than not, I would say probably so, but it depends on the person, the reasons they drink, the effects and control that the alcohol has on them and their lives, etc. Each person is different and a blanket label doesn’t always fit.

If you could party with any athlete in history after they had a big win, who would it be?

The Nature Boy, Ric Flair. I don’t much care for what he’s become as he’s gotten older, but back in his prime as a pro wrestler and multi-time World Champion, Ric always knew where the best parties were. The stories are legendary. Wooo!

French toast. Smash or Pass?

French toast is delicious and I used to enjoy it quite frequently. Absolutely a smash!

What’s your favorite flavor of potato chips?

Just regular, plain Ruffles, because Ruffles have ridges, and ridges have flavor. And also, they’re just damn good.

Why do some people make being American their entire personality?

The same reason that some are all about being a liberal, being gay, being a Cowboy, or being a cheerleader, for example. They’re sad and shallow and don’t have enough in their lives to be well-rounded, diverse, and the total package when being a human being. They’re content to find a label, get into the box, and stay there rather than grow and develop as a person. We’re all guilty of that. I know I am, but I’m trying to break free of the labels and be a better human. I wish more people would try as well.
