Thursday Thunks: Questions by Others with Possible Smelly Feet

Heather and I, back in the day.

1. If you could be a Muppet, which would you be? Probably Ernie. When my princess (daughter Heather, now a mother of two) was young she loved Bert & Ernie. I was great doing imitations of their voices. The is a tape recorded when she was two where I doing the Tape Radio thing with Johnnie Walker and Galloping Gary. You can hear Heather, age 2, asking in the background, “Daddy, do Bert & Ernie”.

2. Why is a chicken crossing the road in the first place?? It occurred to him going to the neighborhood barbeque was not his smartest idea.

3. What’s your favorite muscle? You wrote this question to see what I’d say, no?

4. Cheerios or Rice Krispies? An equal disaster. Pass.

5. Is summer ever going to get here? So far this week we’ve had hot and humid at 87. Tonight it’s dry and cool. And yesterday, for an added distraction, we had a tornado touch down in Springfield, about five miles from here. That’s the weather. I’m not doing news or sports. Sorry.

6. Have you ever had a utility turned off by mistake or some other reason besides weather or nonpayment? No. That must be a Minnesota thing, Berleen.

7. What was your “last day” of something? My last day of coupledumb was two weeks ago.  But hey, you never know. I’ve got a bit more important shit on my mind.  I’m off to the hospital tomorrow. More testing for my neck and back problems. Loads of fun.

8. Casey Anthony – do you know who I’m talking about and, if you do, are you following the trial? Not closely. It’s rather depressing. Can I be honest here? All in all, I’d prefer a blowjob.

9. Back to Bud’s high school questions last week – did you have any type of class trip, band trip, etc? Where did you go, what did you do? No. But thanks for going back to my questions.

10. Do you feet smell? No. I leave that function to my nose. Call me crazy. Peace, bros.

The TT questions are brought to you by Bud, the color of discovery and the number zero zero seven.

1. Who was your best friend? Sylvia Rentalot. I don’t really remember all that much about her other than she was stunning when naked.

2. Did you play any sports? Besides “Hide the Sausage”?

3. What kind of car did you drive? A 1965 Mustang convertible. Oh wait. That was my friend Johnnie Walker. I drove a clunker Plymouth Belvedere. Not a babe magnet.

4. It’s Friday night. Where were you? We’d always start out at the WTIT Studio, If we had dates we’d leave to do them. If not, we’d continue recording until we came up with something better. Which meant a lot of times we recorded all night.

5. Were you a party animal? Not at first. I was the last DJ on WTIT to get drunk. It wasn’t that I had a moral thing with it. Everyone drank beer and in spite of my name I am not to this day a beer drinker. One night someone asked if I wanted a screwdriver. I asked what it was. My friend Bull Durham said, “Smirnoff and OJ”. That was the night I got introduced to Smirnoff. Oh night devine.

6. Were you considered hot? Smoking.

7. Were you in the band, orchestra or choir? Choir one horrible year. All we sang were show tunes. I still cringe when I hear “Oklahoma”.

8. Were you a nerd? No. I was more known for how many girls I was dating at one time. It went well before they found out about each other. (Group shot on left.) Although, we all got along well!

9. Were you ever suspended or expelled? Close, but no. In public I use to get detentions for talking in class. That school had a rule that 10 detentions equaled a three day suspension. While the Vice Principal was explain this I interrupted him. I said, “Look you are talking to me as though I were a bad kid. I talk in class. I’ve spent ten hours paying for that crime. If you want to give me a three day vacation than just do it. But I am not going to listen to another second of how bad I am.” He shut up and didn’t suspend me. Then he called my mother to tell her how much he liked me. I am glad I resisted the temptation to tell him to “fuck himself”.

10. Can you sing the fight song? I can’t sing “Happy Birthday”, but I am guessing that’s not what you mean. I went to two different schools and no I don’t remember the dumb fucking “fight songs”. Peace, bros.

Thursday Thunks: Pointless Questions in Ten Seconds

1. Do you know how to french braid? No. But I know twins that do.

2. Two guys are walking down the street. One drops his hat and reaches down to pick it up, the other kicks him in the ass. Do you laugh? No. I take a video of it and put it on you tube.

3. You wake up one morning and dogs are meowing and cats are meowing – what are fish, elephants and crocodiles doing? Having threesomes.

4. You are going to your high school reunion. What award are you going to win? Least likely to attend.

5. You find yourself stranded on a deserted island. Soon you find a laptop with a lifelong battery & internet connection, then you find a cave with an endless supply of food and a spring of fresh water. A cruise ship comes along to save you – do you get on it? No shit, Sherlock. I’d stay for food and a laptop? No French twins? No threesomes? I think someone has been married WAY too long.

6. How many shortcuts do you have on your desktop? How am I suppose to have fun with this question? Saying “69” sounds so 80s.

7. I offer you a pie… the most delicious pie you have ever seen. You either have to eat the entire thing in one sitting or allow me to slam it into your face, which do you choose? Just how can a pie be delicious by just being seen? Slam it, baby.

8. Are you a pen stealer? Are you the Pen Police? Your turn.

9. A dude from China comes up and offers you german chocolate cake, french fries and a boston cream pie… what color is your car? Connecticut Coffee. Lost your caps key?

10. Sometimes you just have to tap your foot to your favorite song – which tv series season finale are you watching? I was SO looking forward to Idol. I’ll still watch it, but with James gone, there will be NO thrill. I’ll watch House, too. Peace, bros.

Thursday Thunks: Kittens with Mittens and Barking Dogs

1. Did you have a sugar overdose this past weekend? I know the blogosphere is full of thirty something women with growing kids. Can I point out not all of us are? What’s that? I am old fart and should go the fuck away?

2. What was the last thing you bought off of Ebay? The next thing will be my first.

3. Springtime means bare feet. At least around here. Think about the last long walk you took, on purpose or not, how far did you walk? Kathy and I took a major hike tonight. I think we made it a half a block.

4. You pull into someone’s driveway. Four large German Shepards come to your car. They are barking, but not in a “I’m going to tear your jugular out” kind of way. What do you do? I’d take out my light saber and slice and dice.

5. What do you own the most of? Cassette tape or record albums. Feel free to come over and count. I have no idea how many of either that I have.

6. Did you hear there is a Royal Wedding this week? What is the most obnoxious wedding you have attended? And we wanna know why it was so obnoxious. The word “obnoxious” is defined any way you want it to be… expensive, ugly dresses, stupid guests… whatever. How the fuck could you miss the fact that Kate and William are getting hitched? I think the craziest I attended featured the bride coming through a lit stage curtain topped the cake. At the same wedding the rabbi spoke of the hard part of learning to live together. He did not mean it to be a laugh line. Apparently he was the only one of the two hundred people there who didn’t know they had lived together for five years.

7. Which one of the dwarfs that Snow White hung around with is your favorite? Which one do you think you are most like? Whichever is doing her in this pic.

8. If I were to hand you an orange, how would you get the peel off? I’d take out my light saber and slice and dice.

9. Sometimes a person just doesn’t think of these things – do you think Adam & Eve had a belly button? There are reasons people don’t think of those things.

10. Those little kittens lost their mittens. Why do kittens have mittens anyway? You know there is not a law that you needed ten questions. Peace, bros.

Thursday Thunks: Calendar events are scary when they are new colors

1. How long can you hold your breath? Don’t tell me you don’t know… try it. I held my breath waiting for Thunks to publish. It was 12 hours and twenty two minutes since I first looked. I almost emailed Ber, but I thought that it would be a tad anal and rude on my part. Back in the day I woulda just have written the fucker.

2. Have you been watching the Decorah Eagles? No. But as an animal fan, this won’t end well. Eagle chicks kill each other. The system is set up for only one to survive. I wonder how grossed out people will get when they see that happen.

3. Ever fallen off a horse? Is this a Catherine the Great question?

4. Pick a color and a number and come up with a combination name for the new color. Gongerling three.

5. Write a paragraph about 10 minutes of your morning, writing it in the 3rd person. Bud awoke abruptly and thought, “Damn it. I hear him in the kitchen. Gotta grab the clothes and leave out the back door. She said her husband wasn’t due back till tomorrow. I think I’ll visit the twins and shower on my way home.” Of course, since the French twins live in the next apartment it wasn’t hard. Hard to do, that is.

6. What events have you marked on your calendar for this summer already?

Ben, Bud & Bierne for one last time at The Stadium in 2008

My only big plan so far is this month. In 2008, they closed the original Yankee Stadium. My dad took me there every year when I was growing up, even though he was a Cubbie fan. I bleed Yankee blue. I took my kids to The Stadium every year as they grew up. My son Ben and I have not yet been to the new ballpark. We will correct that on Saturday April 30th. Both of us are SO psyched.

7. If you could have any realistic talent, what would it be? I’d love to play the guitar. I always dreamed of being in a rock ‘n roll band. My son James is the guitarist for So Long Davey. It’s a thrill to live vicariously through him.

8. What is the scariest place you’ve ever visited? One of my ex-wives’ house.

9. If you were a cat, what already-made flavor of cat food (no chocolate flavors!) would you want to eat? This is why I love Thunks. Only Berleen could ask this question.I’ll go with lox and cream cheese. My lady Kathy asked me if feeding her boss’s dog (He’s an orthodox Jew.) bacon flavored dog biscuits would be kosher. After I fell out of my chair laughing, I suggested she ask her boss.

10. What were you doing the Friday 2 weeks ago in the afternoon? Writing Saturday 9. Sometimes Crazy Sam asks for help. Kathy’s got Three Dog Night for Rock ‘n Roll Fridays. Be there or be square. Peace, bros.

The TT questions are brought to you by Berleen, the color of April Showers and the number 93888..

1. If all the world is a stage, where are the audience sitting? On the moon. Everyone sits alphabetically, according to height.

2. Taken from InsanityCafe Forums: If ghosts exist and are around us now, what happens if all life on Earth is destroyed? Would ghosts remain or also be destroyed? If ghosts are energy and energy on the planet is destroyed, wouldn’t it destroy ghosts? The ghosts would remain. There’d be a fucking lot more of them, however.

3. How do you know you live in the real world? There is no real world. The Matrix was real.

4. What the best/worst April Fools Day joke that has ever been played on you? Same question for one that you have played on someone else. One of my wife’s said she filed for divorce. I called an attorney. She said it was a joke. I said I hoped that she’d enjoy the single life. I also told her her jokes sucked. I wonder whatever happened to that one?

5. If you could pick the last year of your life, which would you pick and why? Stardate 83544.47. Why? It has a ring to it.

6. April showers bring May flowers. Have you ever been stuck in a rainstorm? No. What do April blizzards bring?

7. Grapes. Green or red/purple? Seeded or seedless? Can we go back to the ghost shit?

8. Someone knocks at your door asking where your neighbor lives, calling your neighbor by name, do you point them in the right direction? Yes. But if they rang the doorbell I would never tell them.

9. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can, What can you touch? Twins, of the French variety.

10. When did you last step outside? What were you doing? 2:03 PM. There was a neighborhood orgy I was asked to attend.

The TT questions are brought to you by Berleen, the color of falling snow and the number four thousand eight hundred seventy three.

1. Would you try a dog food flavored jelly bean? What about skunk spray or vomit flavored? Hide your kids, people. Berleen’s been partying with Charlie Sheen.

4. True love. Define it. And now I’ll channel my inner Dr. Phil…

5. Where is the strangest place you are ever fallen asleep? My neighbors bed. Man, when her husband got home he was not the least bit understanding. Why he didn’t buy the “my bed is at the cleaners” excuse is anybody’s guess.

6. A doctor walks up to you and says “I will change anything you want… big or small… doesn’t matter how much it costs, I’ll do it for free!” What do you have him fix or change on your body? This is the question that everyone will explain how perfect they are “as is.” Oh, me? I’m perfect as is. Too.

7. The last picture you took – share it. Well, if it’s not something we would probably find in Bud’s recent photos. I guess that means I don’t have to do this fucking question.

8. Blue or black ink. Your preference? Blue. As in blue job.

9. You are walking down the sidewalk on a city street and you see a little girl, about 3 or 4 years old, she asks you if you can tie her shoe for her. What do you do? Call the police. You can never be too sure about them terrorists.
