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. My, how the time has flown by. It’s number 110. Let’s do this.

Do you eat raw Cookie Dough?

I have in the past, but not recently. I’m not big on the cookie dough stuff.

Can you describe your life in 5 words or less?

Shit! Here we go again!

Have you ever hooked up with a friend’s brother or sister?

Yeah, it’s happened. One day, I’ll tell you about the Tylers… and the Seals. Not today, though.

What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done at work?

Closed the store to have a hook-up. Drank on the job. Drank a soda and forgot to pay. Played pinball while on the clock. Yeah, I was a wild man.

Do carrots belong on burgers?

That sounds disgusting. No!

What do your favorite pajamas look like?

A pair of green Adidas shorts, a wrestling t-shirt, and that’s pretty much it.

What are your favorite and least favorite of your body parts?

My favorite used to be my feet. I had pretty feet. Not so much anymore, though. Now, it would be my hair. And least favorite? We’ll put the feet, or should I say foot, there.

What’s your ideal first date?

It depends on the person, but grabbing a burger, walking around the lake at the college, and lots of snogging pretty much covers the basics of it.

Meatloaf says he’d do anything for love, but he won’t do “that.” What’s your “that?”

I won’t lie or steal for them or partake in illegal activities. I’m too old for that shit. Anything else is fair game.

If you met a genie, what would your three wishes be?

Unlimited financial resources to be comfortable for the rest of my life for me and my bro life, a kitten for Mouthie to raise and be friends with, and my health back, including my leg, for a long and prosperous life.

If I went through your cabinets, what’d be the weirdest thing I’d find?

In the cabinets of this house, there are things that belonged to both of my brothers, now deceased, and both of my sisters, items dating back to when I was a child, as well as items belonging to my Mom. And we’re all people who like weird things and have weird tastes. There is no telling what you may or may not find in this house. I know I still have my notebooks and notes from my classes in high school. I graduated 40 years ago, but I still have my notes, just in case I need them for something. So there you go.

Does your car/truck have a name? Have you ever named your vehicle?

My current truck doesn’t really have a name, but the guys at Food Lion called it “Ranger Danger”, so I guess that would apply. I used to have a truck that I called “The Reaper”. And believe me, that truck earned the name.

What’s one thing that would help you overcome your dislike of someone, potentially leading to a romantic involvement?

Money. Money is always a great way to change feelings towards someone. Pay me enough and I’ll pretend to like anyone.

Would you date a single mom?

No, I don’t date Moms. A single dad? Sure, why not?

Do you eat Cereal at least once a day?

I can’t even remember the last time that I ate a bowl of cereal. It’s been a while. So, that would be a no.

What bridges are you glad that you burned?

Look at my earlier responses about hooking up with family members or friends. The Tylers and The Seals. ‘Nuff said!

Should children start doing chores at an early age?

Yes, they should. It teaches responsibility and builds character. It makes them into better people and better adults when they grow up.

What’s the smallest tip you’ve ever left at a restaurant?

Zero dollars! Bad service, bad food, and pretty much everything about the experience was bad. The waitress, when she did come to the table, acted like she was mad that we were annoying her, and spent more time on her phone than checking on us. She was all attitude and tried to take it out on us, her customers. She got the tip she deserved. Absolutely nothing.

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 the Intervention.

Ubuntu!
