June’s Final Embarassment as Host of Q&A…
Q: Which classic fairy tale character do you relate to?
A: Looking at my body and personality, the obvious character will be Quasimodo. Ugly as sin and twice as wide, stupid as lump of pudding, and a constant source of revilement to all that know me. However, IMHO, looking at me spiritually, I’d say the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. Poignant, no? Raise your hand if you went “Aw, how sweet!” Raise both hands if you went “Aw, shit what a deluded idiot!”
Q: Are you getting into the vuvuzela craze?
A: No. Not really. But thinking out of the box (or ‘oot’ of the box if you’re Canadian) whenever I accidentally fart loudly in public now I wave my hand and cry “Yes! I play the vuvuzela!” and grin like an idiot. It appears to fool everyone every time!
Q: Fetus or Festus?
A: Um… WTF?
Q: What’s the funniest book you’ve ever read?
A: I can’t narrow it down to one book, nor do I have to since this is MY blog. Neener Neener Jelly Beaner! “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams was the funniest thing I had ever read up until about five years ago. It’s quite famous and a BBC series and a movie were made about it — along with lots of useless merchandising items. (It was a trilogy that found it’s way to being a quintet and I believe a sequel even to that was published a year or two ago). But then I discovered Terry Pratchett and his Discworld series. I think he’s up to about novel #537 now (okay, maybe 33?). His books have a lot of the same type of humor that Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker Series had. Like Adams, Pratchett leaves nothing sacred as he pokes fun at the entire universe. I was particularly found of “Unseen Academicals”, “Making Money”, and “Going Postal”. It’s ironic that these are relatively newer books in the series — Pratchett is getting better with each new novel.
Q: Would you pose nude for money?
A: Would it cause more uproar, speculation, controversy (and horror) if I said “Yes” or if I said “I already have”? Would people think less of me if I said “Hell, I’d pose nude for a frickin’ Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar” or if I said “Oh, hell…. here (removing all my clothes)… start clicking — I don’t need no stinkin’ money”? A question more important to most would be “How much money would people give me to keep all my clothes on?”

I have been experimenting with this- saying “out and about” out loud. And i DONT say ‘oot and aboot’ (probably cuz i am only a Newfie by Ancestry
What i (and my local Canuckians) say sounds a bit more like ‘oat in a boat’ – where as some Americans sound like they are saying owwwwwt and abowwwwwwt. 
Thanks for the inspiration in your last entry, Phil. no, not the mental visual
But now, i am thinking that if my kids stonewall me in my old age, and refuse to financially support me, i will whip out the webcam, whip off the the granny suit, and threaten to go online with the result unless they cough up fat stacks of cash 
I have no moral issue with nudity, but blackmail is the only way i can foresee turning a profit with it.:-D
Remind me of this, Phil, when i get there- just in case i GET senile and forget
Okay. Note to self: Remind Julia NEXT WEEK.
Is it next week yet? i forget?
however, i dont need anything from the kidz yet (well, maybe a car ride now & then) so the plan is still on hold
