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.

What’s the worst thing to step on in the dark?

There are so many choices, especially with animals in the house. Cat puke is the worst. And I think Mouthie does it on purpose just to amuse himself.

$10,000,000 to never listen to any Beyonce song ever again.
Are you taking the offer?

I don’t even know any Beyonce songs and would never listen to them willingly anyhow, so yes. Show me the money. I’m there.

You can go back in time and see one concert. Who would it be?

I’ve been fortunate enough to see Alice, and I saw Waylon, but there is one big musical void in my life. I’d go back and see these dudes, Dr. Hook.

What age did you leave your parent’s home?

I left when I was 18. And then, moved back home a few years later. And then left again. And then came back. Wash, rinse, repeat! And now I’m back for good because I can’t leave Mom on her own. She needs help, both financially and with supervision, and well, here I am.

What’s the weirdest food combination you enjoy?

When I was a kid, I had a thing for Peanut Butter and Bologna sandwiches. They were good and very yummy. I haven’t done that in a while though. Now, I guess it would be lasagna and green beans. I got that on a tray at the hospital and it works for me.

What’s one weird smell that you enjoy?

Old Spice cologne. Yeah, I know it’s cologne and not supposed to be weird, but I’ve liked it since I was a teenager. It’s an old man’s cologne, but it’s my favorite. It just took me a while to age into it.

Would you rather be stuck on an island with a person who never shuts up or all by yourself?

This is tough because I value silence and prefer most people to shut the hell up, but being alone on an island sounds lonely, even for me. I guess I’d prefer the talker. I know how to ignore people and block out noise, a necessary skill when living here.

Have you ever listened to music on a cassette tape?

On cassettes, 8-tracks, Vinyl, and reel-to-reel recorders. Yes, I am that damn old. Even now, I sometimes like to put on an album or two and enjoy the scratchy sound. And I’ve got a box under my bed with probably 125 assorted cassettes in it, with every genre of music you can think of available. I’ve always loved listening to music, in any format.

Monthly salary or Hourly wage?

This would depend on just how big the salary is. I’ve worked before on salary when I was a store manager, and then I realized, based on the hours I worked, I was getting screwed over big time. I made more working by the hour than I did as a manager making a salary. I guess I’d go with the salary given that I’d know what to expect each month and what I have to work with.

Do you have a Democrat Libtard in your Family?

I don’t. My family are all Trumpers. We do have one that suffers from BDS, where everything, regardless of how small, bad, or whatever, is Joe Biden’s fault. Fox indoctrination strikes again. But I’d rather deal with this than the deranged bat-shit looney toons on the left.

What’s your favorite scent in nature?

Freshly cut grass or the scent of rain on the wind, when a storm is approaching. Both of them are favorites of mine.

What’s a goal you have for the next year?

Expand this website to include videos and possible syndication of the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. And maybe a podcast of some type with my best friend/bro-son? That would be cool too.

What’s harder? Telling friends and family that you are gay or telling gay friends that you are a gay conservative?

I never really bothered to tell my friends and family that I was gay. I just didn’t hide it once I figured it out and they eventually figured it out as well. And I don’t have any gay friends to tell anything to. I do have some well-meaning Lefties as friends who don’t like my conservative ways and that I support the Orange Guy, but I never told them either. They figured it out. I think the family thing would have been harder if I had actually done it. My dad never knew and my Mom is still in denial. She knows but pretends indifference to better suit her perception of reality.

Who is your favorite Motown recording artist?

I was going to say Betty Wright, who was an amazing R&B singer, but she was never Motown. And neither was Marvin Sease. So, let’s go with The Jackson 5. You can never go wrong by picking Michael Jackson.

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 the shop today. Take care and be well, my friends. I’ll see you on the X.
