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

If you could teleport to one city’s skyline every morning, which one would you pick?

I would say San Francisco and the whole Golden Gate Bridge scene, but that city is such a mess, I’d be scared of being attacked by a homeless crackhead with purple hair. Chicago has too much crime, and New York has too many liberal crazies to enjoy. A great skyline to check out and enjoy each morning? Maybe Toronto, Canada? That’s a beautiful place.

What’s a piece of ‘obsolete’ technology you still use today because it’s better than the modern version?

I don’t know if using a conventional oven counts, but I cook in the oven and on the stove 99% of the time. Microwaves, fryers, and crockpots don’t work for me. I was taught to cook on the stove when I was a kid and I still prefer it that way. The food tastes better too.

What’s the most ridiculous thing you have an emotional attachment to?

That damn cat of mine. He’s annoying, but I love him. But seriously, I’ll say a Batman action figure that is on the shelf in my bedroom. A friend brought him to me when I was in the hospital thirty years ago. And I’ve still got him. He’s very cool. He’s Batman.

Without mentioning aliens, what’s the most exciting discovery humanity could make?

The cure for the common cold? How to understand liberals? Hell, I don’t know. I’ll take the fifth on this one.

You meet your 18-year-old self. You’re allowed 3 words. What are you saying?

Quit overthinking. Relax!

Without mentioning exercise, what activity keeps your mind sharp?

Writing. It’s a great way to clear the mind, alleviate tension, and calm the soul. At least it works that way for me.

Do you care if TikTok gets banned in the U.S.?

I don’t have an account or use it. I really couldn’t care any less if it’s banned or not.

With leftists screaming for a 32-hour work week, do you agree with this? How many hours do you typically put in per week?

When I was at the ABC, I was doing 40 hours a week until I lost my leg. And then, it was 16-24 hours per week. And before the ABC, I averaged 45-50 hours per week most weeks. That’s just part of life working in a Convenience Store. And these spoiled children want 32-hour work weeks? Really? Sounds nice, but they need to grow the hell up and be adults for a change. Work 40 hours, get overtime if you can, and quit the whining and complaining.

If you could instantly learn any language, which one would you choose?

Japanese. Speaking Japanese with a southern, country accent, would be so damn cool.

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 close up shop for today. Take care and be well, my friends. I’ll see you at the Hobby Lobby.
