I’m bored today, I’m tired of my alter ego and UncleBeer doesn’t seem too interested in trying to figure out who I am, so I thought I’d give him a chance to do so, if he’s game.

Uncle, wanna play? I’ll answer twenty of your questions with a “Yes” or “No” only.

If you can’t figure out who I am, I’ll probably tell you anyway.
