Every day, my Twitter feed is filled with dozens of random questions. This is where I provide the answers for a few of them. It’s Ultimate X Q&A. Let’s do this.

If you and your friends had a movie theater to yourself for the evening, what film would you watch?

If I were the person calling the shots, we’d go back and do it right with a big screen showing of the James Dean classic, Rebel Without A Cause, followed by a presentation of Return of the Killer Tomatoes. Yes, we’re talking double-feature.

Did the lies about COVID-19 vaccines make you question ALL vaccines?

Let’s just suffice it to say that they didn’t help the cause at all. I don’t have much faith in anything that our Government is so determined to push down our throats. Plus one of my doctors told me early on that it would be, in my case anyhow, better to not take any of the Vax shots due to the medical conditions I’m already dealing with. In his opinion, the Vax shots would only make things worse. I’m glad that I listened.

What makes a full moon special?

The magic of a full moon can not be underestimated. It affects everything from the waves to mental activity to love. What does the old song by Dean Martin say? That’s amore.

Is Chinese food better than Japanese food?

I’ll never turn down either, but Chinese food seems to be usually served more in a buffet style while Japanese food is usually on a plate with a lot of carrots. I’m not a big fan of carrots so I’ll take the Chinese.

What is that one thing that can always make you smile, no matter what?

The antics of a couple of very special people, a certain cat, and the laughter of a small child. Take your pick.

Cuddle up with a blanket or just turn up the heat?

That would all depend upon who I’m cuddling up with under that blanket, but if I’m alone, which sucks, I’ll just crank up the heat a notch instead.

What is your biggest turn-off in a man/woman?

I don’t like fake, be it man or woman. Don’t lie or pretend to be someone you’re not. If you’re an ass, be an ass and own it. If you’re a weirdo, be a weirdo and make people wonder. Dougie don’t do fake. And don’t be too loud. It makes my ears hurt.

What is your favorite type of plant?

The fake, plastic ones. They don’t die when I forget to fake-water them.

If you could hang out with any cartoon character, who would you choose and why?

My first thought was Bugs Bunny, but he’s kind of an asshole, to be honest. Then I thought about Marvin Martian, but all he wants to do is make the earth go kablooey. Most all the cartoon characters that I can think of have good qualities, but also have major bad points that would make me want to punch them in their cartoony faces. I guess I’d chill with Chef from South Park. He’s cool and given his habit of breaking out into song about making love to all the women, he’d be a damn hoot.

What is the one thing you think your past self would be proud of?

My past self would be glad that I’ve finally learned to say no.

What ridiculous thing do you see yourself doing in the future?

Now that I have nothing better to do, going all in on a podcast and taking this whole website thing to the next level, with no holds barred and nothing off limits.

Do baby carrots go in beef stew?

If you like baby carrots in the beef stew, add them. If you don’t, then don’t. I’m kind of hit or miss on that. Sometimes, I’ll add sliced carrots to the crock pot when I making a roast or a stew, but other times, I don’t. It all depends on the mood.

If you could start a podcast with any three wrestlers you’d like, who would your co-hosts be?

Our four-person power team about pro wrestling would be, keeping it realistic, would be me, The Fallen Artist Derk Douglas, The Living Legend Larry Zbyszko, and Lisa “Ivory” Moretti.

Same question, but a podcast with any three other people. Who are you choosing?

Myself, the Infamous One better known as my bro-son, K-Mak, the head guru of the SMF Cyberspace podcast, Mr. Brent Robinson, and an open seat for whoever happens to come by, but otherwise filled by the voice of reason, the author of Her Better Lifestyle, the lovely A-Mak.

What do you secretly judge people for most often?

I’ll admit it. I judge people by how they act in public and how respectful they are about themselves and others. If a person acts like an idiot with no upbringing or consideration for the people around them, I have little use for them. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not perfect, except in the bedroom, but at least I have manners and know how to behave in a public setting.

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 things up. Take care and be well, my friends. I’ll see you at Gravity Hill.
