I'm usually against any "ask the" threads, but I've recently thought "Hmm.. I wish I knew a ____ so I could ask them ____"


so....

I would love to see an "ask the 1st grade teacher", "ask the (insert political office holder)", "ask the writer", and less likely, "ask the hermit".

If you fit any of the above maybe a few others would like to pick your brain.

And what "ask the" threads would you like to see?

Some of the following are threads to which I would post a lot of questions, while others are threads I would probably just read without posting to. All, however, are threads that I wish I would see.

Ask The Teacher.

Ask The College Professor--I doubt I could get straight and/or accurate answers to some of my questions from most of the professors I know personally.

Ask The Professional Photographer--or person who knows about the life of professional photographers. I only have a couple questions, really.

Ask Kurt Vonnegut--I guess I won't have the opportunity for this one.


Ask The Peace Corps Volunteer--Cool! This one exists!

Ask The Pornographer, Porn Star, or Porn Expert--I realize we already had this one--and it was very interesting--but the pornographer in question was an Australian and seemed to be more focused on photography and websites, IIRC, whereas I'm more interested in the American scene and the production of videos. If this one ever appears, I hope it remains serious.

Ask The Cultural Anthropologist.

Ask The Guy Who's Served Hard Time In A Maximum Security Prison.

Ask The Adopted Person Who Met His Or Her Biological Parents For The First Time As An Adult.

Ask The Mobster.

Ask The Rock Star--or rap star or country star, too, I suppose.

Ask The Serial Killer.

Ask The Hard Determinist or even Ask The Fatalist.

Ask The Psychologist.

Ask The Prostitute.

Ask The French Foreign Legionnaire.

Ask The Cannibal.

Ask The CIA Officer.

Ask The Foreign Service Officer.

Ask The Person Who Lived In Hitler's Germany.

Ask The Person Who's Smoked Crack.

Ask The Magician.

Oh, and Ranchoth--Ask The Meyer? Is that a reference to somebody in particular, like a famous guy I've never heard of, or what? I happen to know about four thousand and twenty-six Meyers.

I know one.. He's quite an interesting guy. He was about 8 or 9 when things picked up over there... He once told me one of the things he remembered quite well was how tired his arm would get after holding it up in salute for so long in parades and such.

If "Ask the Person who studied the subject extensively, have known two individuals with the diagnosis as friends, who has interacted with several with the diagnosis in therapy groups, who worked with several with the diagnosis while they were inpatient while I was a Psych Tech" would be good enough, I could do that.

I'm (mildly) dyslexic. What could you possibly want to know about it? (Didja hear about the dyslexic farmer's wife? She sent 'im a John Deere letter.)

I'll second "Ask the Prostitute." I suspect I'd get straighter answers to the hard questions.
