Sometimes there are those members here you see all the time but still remain mysterious. I’ve asked him permission to start a different sort of “ask the” thread.
We’ve seen him tackle GQ questions ranging from advanced physics to complicated electronics. Now it’s time for some more low-brow questions. Please keep yourself from asking questions that dwell into the personal information.
I’ll start…
**QED** , do you prefer chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, or cookie dough?
What color is your stapler?
Also, what the heck is a Butterfinger bar made of? I’m not sure “crunchety” is an actual word.

**anyrose** :
Kittens. But, puppies can be pretty tasty when prepared well, too.
**Randy Seltzer** :
Purple.
**Contrapuntal** :
Yes, if I’m nearby when I’m called.
**Sampiro** :
Barbara Eden says:
Life is just a total bitch
Then you will die
**anyrose** :
Brown.
**WhyNot** :
Why not?
**Sampiro** :
Ginger. (What, you didn’t think I was going to play by _your_ rules, did you?)
**anyrose** :
I prefer squigoaphant, which is a squid stuffed into a goat, stuffed into an elephant. Unfortunately, no one makes an oven large enough to cook one.
**Kythereia**
I would change red to mean “go” and green to mean “stop.” I think the resulting confusion could be amusing.
Always, Coke. Regular Coke, that is. Pepsi tastes like warm spit and Diet Coke tastes like ass.

So anyway, this buddy of mine in high school, who had a habit of wearing a bit too much cologne, came down to breakfast one day with a bit of a perfume stank on, prompting his father to proclaim, “Scott, you smell like a French whore!” To which his mother rejoined, “Scott, why don’t you ask your father how he knows what a French whore smells like?”

Being a mammal, I pretty much constantly have a mouth full of warm spit. And anyone who’s gone downtown on his lady friend knows what ass tastes like. 😛
