Five Questions for Me
Today I’m playing the interview game. I was asked five very important questions by the esteemed Ms. Pantalones Del Fuego, see my answers below:
Pantalones - If you could have a robot butler or a monkey robot
butler, which would you choose, and why?
Betheboy -Boy you start off tough, I’d have to go with Robot butler for several reasons: 1) We’ve had millions of years to develop monkey helpers and after all this time they still can’t drive cars. That seems pretty limited to me. 2) Robots don’t smoke cigars or poop on the floor. 3) A monkey helper could out live me and become some one else’s butler, this would make me jealous after I die.
P – How would you describe your religious or spiritual
beliefs?
B -If forced to choose I’d say that I’m agnostic with an option to buy. This means I have a hard time accepting the concept of god but I’m willing to be wrong on this basically because I think it would be nice to have a god and also because I think Atheists are killjoys who like to rain on everyone’s parade. Sure religion can be crazy and yes people may believe in myths but so what, who does it hurt..screw you atheists, screw you all.
So where was I…oh yeah my beliefs, my problem with a omnipotent single god is that it seems like a lot of work for one person. I much prefer the ancient system of the holy bureaucracy where Apollo took care of the sun, Thor made hammers, Nike made the shoes etc… This system provided reasons for things…the ancient Greeks never said “That Zeus works in mysterious ways” because they knew that if he rained lighting down on someone it was because they tried to eat the grapes he said not to eat because they were sour or something easy to understand. I’d like to bring back the smaller regional deities if for no reason besides I can handle them easier.
P – If you could go on an all-expenses paid trip to
anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
B -Do you know I’ve never been out of the US? Not even to Mexico or Canada, I’ve never even had a Canadian girlfriend. Hmm Once place in the world? Some people would say Paris but I read that it’s crawling with Frenchman so that’s out. You know, I have no wanderlust when it comes to traveling and I’m not going to lie and name some exotic place like Machu Pichu. Given the option to go anywhere I’d like to go on a tour to a game in every Major League Baseball stadium, that would be my favorite thing to do.
P – What is the best thing about being shacked up with
the slackmistress?
B – Having a wonderful woman to come home to every day. It’s much better to return home to the one you love than it is to just some guy paying half the rent plus that guy will rarely get nekkid for you. If I could pick a second best it would be the dog I got as part of the deal.
P – If you could only eat one food for the rest of your
life, what would it be?
B – That’s easy, Halloumi Cheese. A few weeks ago The Slackmistress made it for e and I could eat it every day. It’s great because it grills instead of melting, it’s the cheese that eats like a meal.
