Sunday Stealing: The Racquet Questions
01 What is the worst nickname that anyone has ever called you? I had a Russian girlfriend who called me her little “hа самом деле, вы смотрели это дерьмо?”
02 Have you got a favorite flower? Nope. But we did a spot spoof on a florist. It was called “Bruce and Caesar’s Pistils & Stamens”
03 Do you add a sauce, ketchup or other artificial flavorings to your food? I want some of the drugs he was on when he wrote this question. Who the fuck cares about what I put on my hot dog?
04 Describe yourself using only words that begin with the letter ‘T’. Terrific, Timely and already Tired of the stupid questions that he has mixed in.
05 What is/was your lover’s pet name for you? Budman.
06 What is your least favorite color? I want some MORE of the drugs he was on when he 
wrote these questions. Who the fuck cares about fave colors?
07 Who did you vote for in the last election, and did they win? I was with her. I thought he’d be a total disaster. Even I am surprised how unqualified he is…
08 What is/was your grandfathers’ names? Joseph Fishelberg and William Brennan who passed away before my birth. So perhaps I don’t remember much about him for some reason Joseph passed away when I was 6. I remember watching King Kong with him while he was watching me so my folks could go out. That’s all folks!
09 What is the best present you ever received? My first digital computer, a Sony Vaio was given to me by a guy thanking me for the business . He had never even heard a recording session. But he loved the concept. And while that computer died a decade ago, I still use Sony Vaio software to edit my music. It’s all I’ve known, digitally speaking.
10 What is 17 1/2% of 97 + 42 x (6 / 2) – 137 ? [Editor’s note: Holy shit!] 39.925
11 What would be the best possible way you could die? In my sleep. Is there better answer?
12 Given the choice of absolutely anything, what would be your dream job? I would own a radio station where I also did the morning shift.
13 What position do you sleep in at night? Usually on my side. I’ve had to learn to sleep on my
back because the pain in my shoulders is still horrible. But it’s not as bad as it was the first few weeks when I had to take even more of pain meds to get through it. But I went with dealing with the pain instead of continuing the extra meds.
15 Who is your favorite fictional character? Hawkeye Pierce as played by Alan Alda.
16 What food do you hate most in the world? I want even more of the drugs he was on when he wrote these questions. Who the fuck cares about what food I eat?
17 When was the last time you were ill? Does recovering from a broken neck count? I saw my neurosurgeon. They think I’m doing as well as can be expected and said that I still have a year and a half left.
18 If you were transformed into a wild creature, what would it be? Lion. *Roar*
19 What was your favorite toy as a child, and whatever happened to it? Believe it or not, I got my first tape recorder at 4 years-old. I don’t remember it but my mom filmed me interviewing my family on Christmas Eve.
20 What’s the most amazing thing you’ve ever seen? It hard to top this fucking mess.
You can’t always get what you want. This meme seemed easier than it was. I also usually change the bad questions out by either rewriting or in some quests there are too many questions, anyway. Who do you have in the big game? Enjoy the game. And please if you drink, call an Uber. Peace & love. Join us again. Same time. Same blog.
What does the nickname mean, dare I ask? N/M, I asked. 😀
My name is Bud & Budweiser had a few runs with a “superhero” called “Bud Man”. When I was in radio and used the “Bud” as a name, they always called me Budman. I was “Gary Hunter” for most of my on air career, so go figure!
Haha, I meant the Russian one!
My brain was stuck on books…never even thought of TV. Hawkeye is a great character and one of my favorites ever on TV.
We do agree! (Other than politics, we agree a lot!)
Your answer about hot dogs and toppings amused me because there’s a myth that in Chicago, somehow people are ostracized for putting ketchup on a hotdog. Last summer I was at Wrigley Field and the out-of-towners sitting beside us actually thought they would get on TV with a hand-lettered sign that said, “Kris Bryant puts ketchup on his dog!” You’re right. No one cares about condiments.
It makes me sad to see Alan Alda aging. I wish medical science could do something about that. He meant something to me growing up.
He played my favorite character of all time. I also enjoyed him in “Same Time Next Year” because all he did was act. I think he got too big for people to tell him “no”. That said, I loved the 9-10 story arc of him on ER. I could imagine that we were seeing “Hawkeye” in his 60s. I also love Jimmy Smits. When he and Alan Alda ran against each other in West Wing I was glued…
I didn’t mind these questions at all. The math one, according to my trig teacher in high school, who emailed me, has an answer of 5.975. She did the work-out and I put it on my blog. It’s a good thing she doesn’t hold it against me that I have forgotten everything she taught me! And good for you for skipping the extra pain meds. I am stuck on one Vicodin a day. I tried to stop it and the pain increased to a surprising level. I didn’t think one at night was doing much but helping me sleep but I guess it also lasts a bit during the day. Good luck with your healing. Chronic crap sucks.
I have no idea how Family Video stays in business. Maybe they do more than rent out videos.
Also, Larry has a good point there.
These questions were fine for me. I liked them.
Thanks!
The Pats are losing as I comment. What the heck???
Wrote this one too early!
I find myself on my back because of pain in my right shoulder. The questions were about half baked…the rest pretty good.
Yes. They can’t all be real gems! 😉
