: 1.) Is that Evanvesence song a parody of every bad metal ballad ever made on purpose or on sweet sweet accident?
I haven't the foggiest idea what you're talking about.
: 2.) The story of Popeye is the story of marijuana addiction. Give me three supporting reasons why.
a) the guy was useless without that green stuff, which more often than not he sucked in through his pipe.
b) Olive Oyl. If I had to listen to that, I'd be a stoner, too. Wait, I am. Never mind!
c) Wimpy was his best bud, and Wimpy CONSTANTLY had the munchies, but never the money to pay for the burgers he wanted.
: 3.) Why do most internet fetishes involve some level of being forced into the fetish? Are we truly so repressed as a culture that we have to be forced into our desires, even in our fantasies?
Uh... yes? Sorry, I have no experience with this.
: 4.) Isn't it great how when someone is put down on death row, their victim magically comes back to life? Wasn't it cool how when we nuked Hiroshima, all those sailors in Pearl Harbor came back to life? When do you think we discovered this?
And I call myself a stoner? Dude, what drugs are you on? Can I have some?
: 5.) Why not just quit your day job and do something meaningful before you fucking die?
'Cause there's the whole needing money in order to survive thing. Plus, I haven't learned how to play my guitar yet, and I've been too depressed to work on my jewelry very much. If either of those things changes, I'll reconsider quitting the fucking day job and set the artist free. OK?
: 6.) The parallels between the story of Jesus and vampire mythology are teeming. Give me four.
a) death and subsequent resurrection
b) the whole, take this and drink, for this is my blood bit.
c) always represented as being long-haired, gaunt, pale white guys. Despite the fact that at least in the case of Jesus, this would be highly unlikely.
d) always killed by an angry mob at the end of the movie
: 7.) When someone bitches about the effects of aging (Oh! I have a gray hair! Oh! I have a wrinkle! Woe is me!) don't you want to remind them what the alternative is?
I don't usually care all that much. If they want to obsess about it, that's their own decision.
: 8.) Eraserhead: yay or nay?
Dunno.
: 9.) Sports bonus question: Which is more disgusting, the front runner who expects their team to win the whole show every year and if they don't they fucking turn on them or the guy who doggedly sticks to the same crappy team year after year complaining endlessly yet also feeling proud and matryred for it? Who do you hate more, the Yankees or the Red Sox?
The poser fan who isn't loyal to their chosen team is more disgusting.
And fuck you, man - THE YANKEES RULE!!!!!
: 10.) Give me an over-under on when we plant some Sarin gas in Baghdad.
No. I don't want to.
