Every day, my Twitter feed is filled with dozens of random questions. This is where I provide the answers. It’s the Ultimate X Q&A. It’s number 100. Let’s do this.

What’s a food that everyone should know how to cook?

Chicken nuggets, spaghetti, soup, and Ramen Noodles. The basics, but if you know these foods, you’ll never starve.

Do hot dogs belong in Mac & Cheese?

For some people, maybe. But to me, that’s just weird.

What do you believe is your love language?

Sarcasm and dark humor mixed with a great mouth that can say all sorts of things.

What’s the best response when someone says to Go to Hell?

I’ve already been there. You weren’t home.

What does home mean to you?

Where one feels at peace, comfortable, and like they belong, that is home.

How do you identify? What are your pronouns?

I identify as Doug, Sir, Mister, and Daddy. Take your pick.

What should we enjoy before it’s gone forever?

The innocence of youth. Too many kids never have the chance to be kids and are forced to grow up way too soon. That sucks. If you have a chance to relax, be stress-free for a few minutes, and embrace your inner child, grab it and make the most of it. Getting old and growing up sucks!

Are you a recipe follower or a “wing it” chef?

I use the recipe as a basic guideline, but I prefer to improvise and do things my way. I just wing it, if you will.

What is your favorite “no internet” activity?

Reading, listening to music, sitting in the parking lot of Walmart and people watching, and long hugs with a certain sexy man.

What’s the worst movie you’ve ever seen?

A Serbian Film. That movie literally made me want to puke and gave me nightmares. It’s well made and hard to walk away from, but it’s sickening and gives the term f*cked up movies a whole new meaning.

What are the values that you believe are necessary to make a relationship work?

Trust, respect, a great butt, and faith.

Would you rather be alone or surrounded by annoying people?

In the words of legendary actress Greta Garbo, “I vant to be alone!”.

Has McDonald’s gotten BETTER or WORSE over the years?

McDonald’s used to be fairly decent, but now, the food is unedible, the employees are rude, and the quality of service is terrible… and that’s on the good days. It’s worse than it used to be. Far worse.

Real or Fake? Let me know your thoughts on the moon landing.

I used to think it was real. But now, I’ve grown up. It was rigged and fake as hell.

If you were asked to pick a favorite detective show, which would you choose?

Would NCIS or Criminal Minds count as a detective show? Probably not. Let’s go with either Charlie’s Angels or The Rockford Files. Both of these shows were awesome back when I was a kid.

How often do you eat PB&J?

Not as often as I used to, but at least a couple of times a week.

What is the most useless thing that you still have memorized?

In U.S. History, we had to memorize the 50 state capitals of the United States. I can still name them. Also, I know how to sing, “Oh, Christmas Tree”, in Latin. That really looks well on a resume.

Do you think we will survive long enough to evolve or go extinct?

The human population will end up destroying itself and our planet as well. We’re not evolving, but instead, getting more ignorant and reliant on machines and AI. It will be our downfall as the machines evolve and we do not.

What is your favorite boy band?

It will always be New Kids on the Block. I like many so-called boy bands, but NKOTB will always be my favorite as I take my boyband evolution step-by-step.

Have you ever had a nervous breakdown?

I have anxiety and panic attacks quite regularly. And as I get older, they happen far more frequently. So, that would be a yes. Not enough to be locked away or put in a padded room, but it’s probably coming.

And there you go. 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 at Swap Shop.
