Official Dingbat Question Thread!

[Robb]

Since I've been spending so much time moderatorizin', I thought it might be good to open up a Dingbat Question Thread. :silly:

If you have any questions for the Dingbat, or if there are any issues you would like to discuss about almost anything, here is your chance!

So, what's on your mind? :P

(ducks)

1. Why does Julia Roberts have a career?

I mean, this is a complete mystery to me. Why does this woman command $20 mil per picture? Why did she win an Oscar? Why is she so beloved by filmgoers everywhere?

Honestly, I just don't understand it. It's perplexing.

:-)

[Robb]

3. The most helpful factor

...are the incriminating pictures she must hold of nearly everyone in the continental U.S. :)

[Misunderestimator]

16. She ain't the best actor, but she's very attractive

I mean, come on, explain Brad Pitt while you're at it. :)

[IronLionZion]

26. She has too many teeth

but other than that, maybe

[Misunderestimator]

27. Aw... they're just too big, not too many

But she's got the gorgeous lips to go with. She ain't my type, but she's attractive.

[IronLionZion]

29. yeah I suppose

as long as she doesn't bite!

[THUNDER HANDS]

2. if a dingbat and a vampire bat got into a fight

who would win?

[Robb]

5. Probably the vampire bat

Dingbats are generally not known for their fighting prowess.

However, it should be noted that were there a contest in "running away", the Dingbat would win by a landslide.

4. What's love got to do with it?

What's love but a second-hand emotion?

[Robb]

7. Love is merely

...a sweet old-fashioned notion. More and more people are eschewing hearts, since they can be broken. :P

[SarahB]

6. Do you think I should get the female dingbat award this morning?

:dunce: I do.

[Robb]

hguohtlA raeb ni dnim gnieb a tabgniD si a emit-lluf noitapucco!

[SarahB]

14. LOL!

:yourock:

[Bertha Venation]

8. Why did my boss ask me to get her some formatted CDs?

Yep, that's what she asked for -- formatted CDs -- so that she could move stuff off her laptop's hard drive -- her laptop which does not have a CD burner.

Hmm?

[Robb]

11. Clearly you're thinking about it too much

This is yer boss, right? I mean, do what she asks! If you start thinking too much about things, the terrorists have won. :P

[Misunderestimator]

17. LOL

Oh, that's rich. She's gonna be back for more questions once she spends a few minutes waiting for the CD to do something.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

10. Is there a particularly good massage oil you would recommend

so that I can give my girlfriend a good sensual massage?

[Robb]

15. 20W-50

...or 10W-40, if it's winter. ;)

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

25. Uhm, thanks

I'm sure MadamJWtheBlack will appreciate that. :hi:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

12. Why do people hate the " truth " ?

Why do people get mad at me when I don't them what they want to hear ?

[Robb]

18. Truth is a bumpy, pointy, unwieldy thingy

...that you couldn't sell on eBay even if you offered PayPal and free shipping. :)

[kmla]

13. Why must I be like that? Why must I chase the cat?

Nuthin' but the dog in me...

[Robb]

19. Dog will hunt. n/t

:)

[Misunderestimator]

20. Why aren't bidets standard fixtures in our bathrooms?

[Robb]

22. I was very nearly a third-generation plumber

...and I can tell you it's just because homeowners are goofy, goofy people who only want what's in the house next door.

If the very first house had a bidet, there'd be bidets everywhere.

[meegbear]

21. If Newton's Law of motion ...

that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, how does anything move if they cancel each other out?

[Robb]

23. In the grand scheme of things

...nothing moves.

[Misunderestimator]

24. Organ music playing n/t

[Whitacre D_WI]

28. Why is there so much pain in the world?

[Robb]

30. Because there is change

All change is painful, but without change there is no growth.

Pain is the price we pay to avoid stagnation.

[Whitacre D_WI]

31. That is profound!

Oh, no! I have become a "buzz-kill." :(

[Robb]

32. Fear not! Alternate answer:

...Because before exercising, the world forgot to stretch out. :P

[Whitacre D_WI]

33. By God, you're a ding-genius!
