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

Which of the meals is the most important?

Breakfast. So what if I normally eat it in the afternoon or the middle of the night? It’s still the perfect way to start a new day.

If you were a kitchen gadget, which one would you be and why?

A refrigerator. As for why, because I’m always chilling.

What do you believe is the most horrible way to die?

For a relatively quick death, albeit painful, fire. Being burned alive would be awful. And more slowly, cancer. Dying because you’re being destroyed from the inside. The wait and slow anticipation would be pure hell.

Where would you go and what would you do if a millionaire were to fund your all-expenses-paid one-week trip to anywhere?

I’d go to a private beach in the Caribbean. And I’d just relax and enjoy the beauty and atmosphere.

Have you ever had an addiction you couldn’t control?

I’m somewhat of a control freak in that I’ll do stupid stuff and push it to the extreme sometimes, but I refuse to totally give in and lose control, becoming an addict. I’m too damn stubborn to be an addict.

Nothing is more unattractive than when a guy paints his nails. Yes or no?

It depends on the guy and the context. Some guys can pull it off and it makes them hotter. Others, not so much.

What is a TV show that you initially enjoyed at the start, but eventually quit watching halfway through?

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. I enjoyed Riverdale and had high hopes for Sabrina. It started off okay, but just got goofier and goofier with each season. By Season 4, I’d given up entirely.

Is it too early to start decorating for Halloween?

It’s August, and Halloween is only two months away. It’s never too early.

What was the first thing that you bought with money you earned by yourself?

I have no idea. Probably comic books or wrestling magazines. That was a long time ago.

Do you procrastinate?

Let me get back to you on that.

If you could time travel to one rock concert, which would it be?

Operation Rock & Roll, in Raleigh, NC. To spend that time with Theresa, Pat, and Chris was pure epic. I’d gladly do it again.

Who stayed by your side during your hardest time in life?

Looking around, the ABC folks, Theresa, and Kenneth. Everyone else seemed to vanish.

Broccoli on Burgers. YES or NO?

That sounds disgusting. For me, NO!

Do you think there’s a cure for cancer that’s being hidden from the public?

Of course there is. The money is in treating the symptoms. If cancer were cured, billions of dollars would be lost, and entire financial empires would crumble. Curing would defeat the entire purpose, and that can not be allowed.

Are you a busy person?

Usually busy doing nothing, but yes, I’m always doing something.

Do you think food stamps should not be used to purchase soda, candy, and other items deemed unhealthy?

Who deems it healthy or unhealthy? I’m torn on this one. I understand why this is an issue and needs to be addressed. But I look at my usual diet, and the foods I like. I’m an adult, and as an adult, I should be able to decide what I do or don’t eat. The abuse of the SNAP system needs to be fixed, but food Nazi’s controlling the menu is not the best option.

How long has it been since you laughed out loud?

I don’t remember. I’m usually too busy trying not to yell or cry.

What do you want to be remembered for?

Being a good person. Or being the wrestling guy. Whatever works.

Burger King Fries or do you prefer McDonald’s fries?

Of the two options, I prefer McDonald’s fries. But truthfully, I’d rather have tater tots or onion rings. I’m not much of a fry guy anymore.

What’s the best brand of alcohol you always look for?

For myself, it’s Crown Royal Apple or Jack Daniels. If I’m in the mood to spend some money and live it up, I like Buffalo Trace.

Would you rather be a sports legend or a music icon?

I’m too lazy to be a sports legend. But I can write songs and do music stuff all day and night long. I’ll take the Icon deal.

Do you secretly take stuff out of a hotel room?

The cheap ass motel I usually go to, Pine Acres, doesn’t have anything worth taking. So, that would be a no.

What things are okay to do occasionally but not OK to do every day?

Drinking, smoking a joint, Hook-ups on Grindr, etc.

You’re on a first date, and she orders food for her kids at home to take back to them. What do you do?

I walk out and leave her with the bill. I’ll pay for me, and maybe him, but the kids are S.O.L. (and we all know what that means!)

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 beer truck.
