Ask Me Anything!

Since my Muse has temporarily gone north to Royal Oak, Michigan to be a cafe, I am temporarily barren of creative thought. To say it differently, I am not amused.

I have decided, then, to put the (read this carefully) onus on the village. In the comment section ask a question about me, any question, that you've been dying to know the answer to but have been afraid to ask. I'll post my answers on Monday or Tuesday after the American looooong weekend.

I realize this is hardly an original idea, but all the good ideas have been taken for centuries. Except, maybe, for the veg-o-matic vegetable chopper.



11/26 Comment: Drat! I foiled me again! These questions are hard, people. Whatever happened to easy stuff like "What is your favorite crayon color?" (Answer: sewer gas.)

If you could live your life over again, what would you do differently and what would remain unchanged?

Who is your favorite author? Why?

Kim Ayres said...

If you're capable of reading and didn't delete all your emails, I sent you an idea back on the 5th of October. I know it was at a time you had very little energy, or eyesight for that matter, so if it's disappeared into the ether then let me know and I can re-send it :)

Please tell us your 2 favorite movies, 2 fav actors, 2 fav actresses; thanks Charlie

Why is your URL "the first book of testicles"?

If you could have any kind of tail you wanted, what kind would it be?

Tsou_Tsai_Hei said...

Why?

Sharon said...

Over here, my Saturday newspaper has a Q & A section - and I love some of their questions - so with no originality at all, I'll steal a few of those -

Who would play you in the film of your life?
If you could bring something extinct back to life what would it be?
What would your super-power of choice be?

Pat said...

You might guess what I'm going to ask:
How did you meet Martha and what stage of your life were you at then?
If this is too personal tell me to mind my own business.

hope said...

Define the "real Professor" in 10 words.

Does that qualify as a question?

Okay, in the form of a question, "How would you define the "real" Charlie in 10 words?"

Jerry from Gently Said said...

I've often mused about what I would do if I were President (assuming I had the power to do anything). I wonder what are the first two things you would do? (If that makes it a double question, ignore either 1 or 2.)

Joni said...

After getting the biggest kick out of Jerry's post, I am still giggling over your comment.... what a hoot :}

Tiffin said...

What's the dopiest thing you did before the age of 10?

Mapstew said...

Do you sing? :¬)

trina said...

most exciting moment you have had in life

barbara said...

Would you rather listen to Celine Dion sing My Heart Will Go On endlessly for one year or stick a pin (a small one) into your eye just once?

Faysoflife said...

Charlie,
Do you still hear in color?

Kid-at-heart said...

We all have our own internal images of ourselves. (I'm perpetually 19, with clear skin and a bounce in my step, you know.) Although I adore that little guy in the baseball uniform, I'd really like to see a good picture of the man Charlie envisions when he thinks of himself. So....is there such a photo, and if so, would you consider sharing it with us?

Charlie Callahan said...

Please re-send that email. I must have done something with it because I never ignore emails from friends.

Charlie Callahan said...

Is that an editorial comment or a question?

Faysoflife said...

Consider yourself awarded, Dude.

Ponita said...

How many volumes are in, or will be in, the Book of Testicles? And is this a section of the bible that no one knows about??? ;-)

Kid-at-heart said...

Just clarifying my question---I want to see a picture that is actually of YOU, Charlie...not one of Robert Redford or George Clooney.

Charlie Callahan said...

Picky, aren't we.

Charlie Callahan said...

You are a woman of exquisite taste, madam. I forget, though: is it pistachio or walnut on the half shell?

Faysoflife said...

:)

Kid-at-heart said...

Very.

Alice said...

Glad I got back here before I missed this...I was going to write my own post on this one day, but you'll probably have a better answer. When do you think they will stop trying to "improve" tooth brushes?
