I just noticed that the King actually is a writer! He is now a columnist for The Philosophical Mother! Wow and this whole time I thought he was joking. It’s actually not a bad piece, maybe even worth a read, go see for yourself.
I am my King’s Champion. I will be sitting at the head of The Court until his return. He disappeared into night, and I know not where he is. While he is on his crusade, let’s talk about him shall we? What would you most like to know about our King Genuine, or perhaps her Majesty the Queen? Leave your question and Merlin and I shall forge our best answer.
Maybe I shoulda asked for some guest bloggers!
You know you never really know what you had until it’s gone. I know that is a horrible cliche, but like most cliche’s it carries alot of truth to it. I’ll be without a computer or internet access for a while, so I’ll be away for a while. Just remember, abscence makes the heartgrow fonder, and what ever other cliche you can have to come up with!
Mrs. G. wants to know: If you had to give any part of your body to continue blogging, what body part would it be?
Does this sound like a threat to anyone else? Well I gave this actually more thought than it deserved, because I have a feeling it may come true. Honey, I would have to say I would donate a kidney to the cause. I only need one anyway, and it could save someone elses life.
Zoot has hit me with a 3 fun questions! If you could look like any celebrity, who would it be? What job would you do if money was NOT an issue? If you could teach, what subject would you want to teach?
I would have to say I would love to look like Mel Gibson. As someone recently said he only gets better looking with age.
This next answer may surprise a few of you, but my dream job right now would be a Stay at Home Dad. I would love to be home with my kids and do fun things. I would cook things that before I did not have time to cook, and I could write during loads of laundry!
Last she asks what subject in school I would want to teach. This is an easy answer because I love history. I love to learn and read about all that has shaped our human race today.
Gary wants to know whether it is Ginger or Marianne.
This is actually a more difficult question that it appears. There are quite a few variables that go into making a decision like this without knowing all of the facts. Do I marry one of them, is it a one night stand, are the cooking a banana cream pie, are we attending a Hollywood premiere? Actually my answer to all of these would be Marianne. I always had a crush on her. She was more my type!
Gary also asks: Minnesota Twins, or Barbie twins.
This is easy; there is more of a future with me in the Minnesota Twins! Get out your Homer Hankys!!!!
My buddy Bennifer wants to know thighs or breasts?
Another easy one to answer, I like the skinless boneless variety of breasts.
Casey would like to follow me around at work all day and find out what I do(besides blogging).
Casey, I wish I had a glamorous answer for you, as I know you are interested in my chosen profession. Unfortunately there is not much to brag about when you do all the work and get none of the glory. Other than that I object to the question on the grounds that it may breach the attorney client privilege, may not lead to the discoverability of admissible evidence, and further it is overbroad and not relevant. Without waiving this objection, the affiant further states: What is there besides blogging?
Etherians question was well thought out and caused me to ponder. She wants to know: You’re in a crowded shopping mall with Genuine Girl and she’s having a cranky moment. As you stop in the food court, trying to bribe her with sweets, or soda, to calm her down. She gives you the ONLY solution and that is to sing her a song. Out of every embarrassing song on Earth, she demands the one song that will send you into the pit of Ridiculousity for singing it aloud. What song is it?
Well Etherian I think we have a problem .Shes lost that loving feeling!
SacrlettCyn would like to know what killing disease I would like to cure and why?
I would have to say I would love to find the cure for cancer. Although I have not lost anyone to this terrible disease, it affects so many people; the money we would save on research for cancer might even cure the common cold.
Amy asks the all important question: Bamboo shoots under the fingernails & toenails OR letting Genuine Girl date someone with multiple facial piercings?
Since I dont intend to let my daughter date until she is 30, this may not be a problem. Actually Amy, I will leave it to my daughter to make the right choices in her life. I can only hope that the foundation we give her as she is younger will help her make the right decisions when the time comes. I lost a girlfriend once because of a fathers disapproval, and I think I turned out okay. Well of course the jury is still out. I just had a funny thought though I see him coming through the door and me holding a huge Road Runner/Coyote style Acme Magnet LOL.
Actually, the magnet thing really makes the genital piercing as asked by Natali even more funny.
Natali wants to know: What’s the worst thing that could happen to you – that doesn’t involve your family leaving/dying/spontaneously exploding or you losing your job- ?
Anything that might happen that might not allow me to see my family grow up and to lead a healthy and prosperous life. But I guess that would involve one of the things you said to exclude. I guess I would have to say that my I would hate if computer explodes and I was not able to experience life with the rest of the people out in the blogosphere.
For now, thats all the time I have, but I will be answering the next set of questions soon. If you didnt make it in for this weeks Q&A session, come back on Thursdays and try again, or just send me an email who knows, I might just respond!
Congratulations everyone, you made it through another week. Let me just say this……sometimes it’s easier to sleep than it is to live.
Genuine Answers are coming up soon!
It’s that time of the week again, and being that I cannot haiku, I have plenty of time to answer your questions. Serve em up! Something you want to know about Genuine, just ask. I promise to be Genuine in my answers. I’ll post answers tomorrow.
No, I have not yet been asked if I’m the pirate!
I am having some Haiku withdrawals. I see a Betty Ford check in for me if I don’t get my ku! You thought that pirate had some action, check out this rancher! His is even bigger!
Go ahead do your best 5-7-5!
Update: I’ll link the pirate guy here too!
Tell all of your haiku friends! They can practice for the real thing!
As if the lack of sleep was not enough, and if having a whining 3 year old and an arguing 4 year old didn’t put me in the mood, we had 4 cousins overnight last night! A 10, 8, 3, and 2 year old! Let’s just say that there was a whole lot of monster chase and tickle wars going on last night. I did get a workout!
Now I can only dream of a nice vacation, maybe a cruise on the open seas, or a hammock in the shade on a beach with an umbrella drink or 6. I really don’t think I want to go to a place like Disney World where I get to be around more screaming kids! Actually, I really don’t want to go the the Pirates of the Carribean exhibit there. Its seems it is filled full of women though….huh……I wonder why? Maybe this explains it.
View image (You might want to make sure your boss is not standing behind you when this pops open, unless of course she is a woman and has a sense of humor.)
There seems to be a very long line of women outside this ride!
Maybe since the Haiku Smackdown is missing today, we could use this pic as a Haiku example! What do you think. Kind of a temporary ku!
I’ll get it started:
On the open seas
This pirate can find a date.
Shiver his timbers!
I had to give Liz a photograph for my column in The Philosophical Mother, and I told her no problem. I would get her one of me and my family for her to use. After looking at literally hundreds of photographs, it finally came down to a photo given to us by a family member. I did not have a single picture of me and my family! How sad is that? I’m always the one behind the camera. I have some great shots of my wife and children, but I’m nowhere to be found. As you can see, the picture is somewhat aged, and it is sans Genuine Baby. I need to hire a photographer!
