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

Are you the black sheep in your family?

In my family, I was the good one. Worked all the time, didn’t get in (much) trouble, and played things close to the vest, with little drama or expectations of others. The only thing I did that was controversial was sometimes not shave, pierce my ear, and be gay.

What is one of the worst smells?

A dead body. Once you’ve smelled death, you never forget it.

What’s your number one reason for not drinking alcohol?

Money is tight, and more importantly, I have no one to drink with regularly. If I had someone I could chill with and drink with, I’d do so more often.

Describe Barrack Obama with ONE word.

Hypocrite.

What do you miss the most that you can’t ever get back?

My leg. Not having but one leg is an absolute pain in the ass.

What is your second favorite color?

My three favorite colors are purple, black, and hot pink. Which one is my favorite, second, etc., depends on my mood and the day of the week.

What are things you like less and less as you age?

Crowds, noise, and people.

What car do you instantly assume a liberal is driving?

A Volvo. I’ve never seen a conservative driving a Volvo.

If you were an amusement park ride, which one would you be?

Probably the Merry-Go-Round. It’s peaceful, steady, and fun, just like me.

When no one is around, what do you like to wear?

Shorts and a T-shirt, the same as I do when people are around. I’m not out to impress anyone. At this point in my life, it’s all about comfort.

Do you get thirsty in the middle of the night?

Sometimes, but most likely I’m already awake and at the computer, so it’s not a big deal. I usually have a Pepsi Zero or a bottle of water nearby.

Would you rather visit your ancestors in the past or meet your descendants in the future?

I have no kids, and neither did any of my siblings, but one. So, the future would be kind of lonely. Let’s go check out the ancestors.

Who do you think is your celebrity look-a-like?

Zac Efron, of course. Don’t you see the resemblance?

Have you ever added cheese to a frozen pizza before baking it?

I’ve added cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, chicken, and probably every other type of topping you can think of at some point or another. Frozen pizza is okay, but it usually needs a lot of work and additions to make it truly a worthy meal.

Who has taught you the best lesson in life?

Chris Haney. Don’t trust anyone.

If you are drowning, who do you think would save your life?

I think my bro, the Infamous One, would save me. He’d pick at me later about it and give me hell, but he wouldn’t let me drown.
