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 133, and I’m still standing. Let’s do this.

If you could somehow stop being gay and become straight, would you?

Nope. Women are crazy and play too many games. Men are more blunt and straightforward, at least most of the time. Being an emo-homo-redneck is who I am, and I think I’m pretty damn okay. Plus, I like “D” too much. So, I’m good.

Should prisons focus more on rehabilitation or punishment?

It depends on the person. Some people can be rehabilitated, but others are hopeless and will only repeat when released. Hell, do the punishment. If it’s tough enough, the criminals won’t want to come back.

What sport should be invented next?

When I think of it, I’ll let you know.

Out of the four seasons, what’s your favorite one?

Fall. Cool nights, but decent days. That is perfect for me.

Should celebrities and influencers be required to disclose paid content on social media?

Show who pays the checks. Hell, yes! And the politicians too.

What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?

Possum, and I think snake. When eating at Mr. Chavis’ house, you never quite knew what he might be cooking up or offering.

If someone offered you a box containing everything you ever lost, what would you look for first?

My mind. And maybe my heart. And if we’re talking about a physical object, Eric Walters. ‘Nuff said!

Should the driving age be raised to 18?

The driving age should remain at 16. The kids have to start somewhere.

If you could only eat one condiment forever, what would you pick?

Ketchup. It works on practically everything.

What fictional band from a movie or TV show do you wish was real?

How about The Commitments, from the movie of the same name? The music from that movie, two soundtracks, was incredible.

Is bacon better chewy or crispy?

I prefer the crispy.

What is the greatest risk you have ever taken?

I told a certain person I loved them, moved them into my home, and gave them everything I could. And he stole, lied, and screwed up from Day One. Yeah, that didn’t go too well.

What are those things you’re too old to do but you still enjoy?

Hang out with friends, drink too much, and get crazy. It takes too long to recover now, plus all my rowdy friends have settled down, damn it!

What is one ability that you believe everybody should possess?

Simple cooking skills. Nothing fancy, but basic skills like eggs, hot dogs, Mac & Cheese, etc.

Which of the two smells better, fresh-cut grass or bread baking in the oven?

Of the two, I prefer the bread. Bread means eating and food is our friend.

What’s the cheapest hobby someone can get into?

Collecting rocks. After all, you go outside and pick up cool-looking rocks. What could be cheaper than that?

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 toy store.
