Unless you’ve been blogging from under a rock, you’ve seen at least one site affected by the Interview Virus. This one is not immune as I have succumbed to the spell of Sweet Jezebel. She was kind enough to ask me the five questions below. In turn, if you would like to be interviewed by me, leave a comment or send me an e-mail. Warning: I am a degreed/former professional newspaper journalist who isn’t afraid to ask the “tough” (see also “stupid” and “silly”) questions.
Queries posed by Jezebel to moi:
1. Can men and women be just friends?
In general, no. But there are scientific cases conducted in a secret laboratory that prove in some instances male-female friendship is possible. However, usually the study breaks down when the scientists decide to get naked and “see what happens.” Man-woman interaction can be quite enriching as mere friends, but those situations are hard to come by. It is easier if at least one party is happily married, in that all relationships outside of the marriage will (should) be of a friendly nature only.
2. Seriously, how long can I let my grass grow without mowing it?
It is important to know your city’s ordinance on this matter. My municipality, for example, allows a grass height of up to two feet. I have marked this height on the side of my house so I can easily monitor the growth. When the blades approach the line, I mow. If your state will declare your yard a designated wildlife preserve, you may never have to mow again.
3. Coke or Pepsi?
Coke. But usually water. When I want bubbles, there had better be some fermenting involved. Or rum in that there Coke, please.
4. At what number of sexual partners is a woman no longer marriageable material?
A gentleman never indulges his own numbers, and should not care about a woman’s. If either or both of them are experienced, each will enjoy the benefits. If either or both of them is inexperienced, they will share their new adventures together with wide-eyed wonder. The past makes us who we are, and that should be enough. Every woman (or man) has something special to offer now, regardless of what she (he) has done in the past. If a man cares too much about his lady’s sexual experience, he is not marriage material and she should drop him at the curb like yesterday’s garbage.
5. Feely Blanket or Teddy Bear when you were little? Everyone had one or the other, right?
I’m sure I had a stuffed animal rather than a blanky, but I don't remember what it was. But not everyone had one. I had a childhood buddy who slept with his Magic Eight Ball. Was he a dork? “All signs point to YES.”
The required fine print:
If you would like to play along and have me interview you ... the following rules apply:
1. If you want to participate, please leave me a comment saying "interview me" (along with your e-mail address, please).
2. I will respond by asking you five questions – each person's will be different.
3. You will update your journal with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
Got it?
interview me, oh great t-bone.
Well done.
Particularly....
"The past makes us who we are and that should be enough"
"Usually,the study breaks down when the scientists decide to get naked and 'see what happens.'"
As always, you make me laugh (while providing insight to human behavior.)
Thanks.
email ME!
I still have a blankey. Is that bad?
I want to be interviewed! yeh...like THAT.
Hey, T-Bone; I'll be interviewed again. :-)
Oooh! Interview me! Although I can't possibly be as funny as you are on these! (I liked the one where the study broke down, too.) ;0)
tbone...interview me. I DARE you. One crazy journalist deserves another.
My grass isn't growing much at all right now. I think it is dead thanks to the heat and lack of rain.
I have pee stains on my grass. They are there because I have a Lab Retriever. Damn dog and it's toxic pee.
Ohh ohh me next! me next!
Oh, I have to jump on this bandwagon. What fun. I guess I've been hiding under a rock the past few days, since this is the first time I've heard about this. But I really havne't been under a rock, just been busy doin stuff ya know!
t, i love your answers like mad. but dude, its so dumb to say that men and women cant be friends. i have plenty of guy friends. and none of them have seen me naked. ( okay that time doesnt count)
I love the questions and the answers. Very enlightening!
Chevy, I have tons of female friends – many of whom haven't seen me naked yet either. But that will all change after the second annual Southern Baptist Nudist Gathering by the River in four weeks. I am so stoked.
i LOVED your answers wholeheartedly.
and now i must implore:
INTERVIEW ME!
nothing is sacred, so bring it on!

Okay I'll bite ~ Interview me ohhh might great one!!! LOL
I need a distraction. When you get done with everyone (in what, 2 months?) I want to play please....
But what about "Revolving Door Interview Game"? Just trying to get the word out, heh heh.
i'd offer to let you interview me, but it looks like you've got your hands full as it is.. :)
Your answer to number four is shockingly sweet. I was just ranting in my mind about how sick of seeing interviews I was, but this one made it all worthwhile.
I'm game if you wish, and there are some answers on my site in response to someone's questions. It can be damn hard to take them on properly.
PF...where is T??? Cutlet....I want Dad! Not a chance.....you are going to be typing out interview questions for at least a week.
Hooray for number 4!!!
