It’s that time again!
While my blog’s been churning out a lot of content the past few months… with the WordPress Helper Monkeys® kindly reminding me every morning I’m on my hundred and umpteenth consecutive day of making a post… the quantity of that content has kind of been more noticeable than the quality. My Top 200 photo countdown slogs on through the upper half… with some people probably unaware of what’s going on or why I’m hashtagging random numbers in the post title. Other than that, I haven’t made a single post in the past two months that hasn’t been a Saturday Squirrel, Novelty Song countdown entry, or part of my fascinating Shelf Critter Theatre tribute to The Wizard of Oz that about five people are actually paying attention to…
Despite the high budget special effects I’ve put into the production…
There’s been nary an unexpected surprise on my blog since I exposed the sham that was Westwood Promotions’ “Punk” compilation album back in July. Well, that’s not right… and I need something to break up the monotony just a little bit. So, since it was such a rousing success the first time around back in May… I’m doing my ask me a question shtick once again!
I’m sure you have a lot of questions to ask…
All I’m asking of you….. yes, you. The one who isn’t even reading this paragraph because you’re scrolling through your Reader clicking Like on every post preview. I want you all to ask me something. If you ever wanted the insight and wisdom of a professional smartass, or maybe wanted to know personal or private details about me to hold against me should I ever be stupid enough to run for public office… now’s your time to ask the questions you’ve always wanted answers to!
If Nancy Kerrigan can play along, so can you!
Everyone is entitled to ask ONE (1) question in the comments of this post of pretty much any subject you can imagine, and I will compile all of the questions next Wednesday and provide you with a thoughtful and likely ridiculous answer. If you want to see how this works, or maybe are too drunk or high to remember what you asked me last time, you can check out my answer post to the previous reader-posed question list here.
Sounds simple, doesn’t it?
As usual, refreshments will be served afterwards.
So what are you waiting for? Leave me that all important question you want to see me answer next week! The deadline is midnight the night of Tuesday the 9th!
The pressure… of a question…
I’m pretty sure I wrote that last time too.
You probably did… but I’m sure you’ll come up with something worthy. And if not, it’s only your reputation that’s at stake. So don’t feel pressured at all…
I asked last time, too, and now I can’t think of anything. Maybe I should turn this and ask you what you’d want to ask of me? Probably cheating, who cares…
Now that’s an outside the box question that will have me thinking! I’m glad I have a week to think about it…
If there was no baseball in this world, what sport would you follow instead?
[I checked to see what I asked you last time and this was not my question then. But it is now.]
That’s not something I’ve really thought of before, but I guess I will now. Tune in next Wednesday….
What do you wanna be when you grow up????????
Pam
Aw, geez… I was hoping I’d never grow up! Now I guess I’ll have to at least assume I am and figure out what I want to be……..
Awk…I gotta come up with a question?? Ok, the only thing I can think of (because this stupidly sports-minded town is going gaga about them) is how quickly you think the Rockies will be dispatched?
LOL! Hopefully they don’t get eliminated before next Wednesday, or the answer is going to be anticlimactic!
Don’t hold your breath!
I believe a Game 5 would be Wednesday if the schedule they’ve been following the past few years is the same… so more than likely the answer will be known one way or the other by then. I would love to see one of the Brewers or Rockies make it to the World Series…
Gah! I’m still haunted from the days of Chipper Jones so no cheers from me for the Brewers. 😇
Chipper Jones was on the Braves… who despite their recent down years, I don’t want to see win anything. Mainly because of him! One of my sisters was obsessed with Chipper and was unbearable during his heyday…
Oh yeah…my bad. You’re absolutely right. I hate that guy no matter which team. Not that I’m a huge fan of the Rocks mind you. They’re horribly managed by idiot owners who repeatedly show they only have lots of money and no idea how to run a baseball team. I’m still stuck on the Blake Street Bombers team of “87” years ago. #DanteBichettewasthebomb
You seem to be a creative and intelligent man – why are you working your ass off at nightshifts stuffing shop shelves and have no taste for some more interesting job?
I am reminded of some of the characters of Christopher Moore in his vampire series (Bloodsucking fiends, You suck and Bite me) whenever you mention your job.
Very good question. One I already have an answer for, and we’ll see what that is next week…
Oh and guilty as charged for that LIKES for the previews …
I can at least tell you read my posts (or most of them… I’d never expect anyone to read me cover to cover) by the comments. That barb I like to throw out there from time to time is directed at the people who always Like, but rarely or never comment… and if they do comment, it’s very clear they didn’t actually read the post.
Oh, that doesn’t mean it is not true of me, too. Sometimes. But then I do not comment. It’s just some days I do not have time and only pick out very few of my reader which I busy myself with for longer. The others get a like so they see, yes, somebody is interested (some people are very, very needy) and that’s it.
I read every single post but never know what to say, and if I do think of something, it’s boring 😀 I need to catch up with The Gizzard Of Blahs, I’ve only read about half of them.
I’ve seen many squirrels over the years but I realised recently – when I heard this awful noise – that I’d never heard one before. It was up a tree, looking at me and shouting. I have two questions – does that mean he hates me and I should watch my back? And – how noisy are your squirrels?
Ha! Since you came out of the woodwork to comment on this, I will make an exception for you and answer both of your questions next week! Thank you!
Does your anaconda want big buns?
Or…where did you get your sense of humor from? Me, I am a combo of both of my parents.
I’ll take your second question since my name is not Sir Mix A Lot…
Sir Squirrels A Lot…
If I remember correctly, like me, you are not a fan of summer. Which season is your favorite and what do you like about it?
Okay, I’ve been racking my brain, and the best I can up with is this – why did you want to be on Millionaire? The money, your moment in the spotlight or both? I never had you pegged as an extrovert…
Just one question? Okay… What planet besides Earth describes you best, and why?
