Ask Me Something

It’s the Wednesday before Turkey Day! Ask me stuff!
If you’re feeling saucy enough, ask me questions and I’ll answer them. Maybe you want my opinion on  something. Or maybe you’re wondering my philosophical feelings on pie. I dunno, toss me a bone and let’s see what happens.
Answers:
Happy Boxing Day!
Commercialized Christmas
Smooth As Silk
Touchdown Jesus!
Lovin’ You Is [...]

Happy Boxing Day!

Scott asks:
Hmmmm…
Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays?
What do YOU greet with and why?
Depends on when I’m saying it.  Right now I’d say “Happy Holidays” because there are a few holidays between now and when it’s all said and done.  “Merry Christmas” becomes the default as we get closer to Dec. 25th.

Commercialized Christmas

Crystal Clear Conservative wonders:
So, what are your thoughts on the commercialism of Christmas? Do you think the retailers will come out in the black this year, instead of the predicted red?
Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m disappointed in the commercialization of Christmas but not entirely surprised.  For my entire lifetime it’s been a retail bonanza, but for my family [...]

Smooth As Silk

Shaun asks:
Jason — how do you make the hair silky smooth?
Milk in a hairnet which one should allow to sit on their head overnight.  If that doesn’t work, let me know, I’ll laugh at you for trying it.

Touchdown Jesus!

Rittinger asks a serious questions:
Does Notre Dame fire Charlie Weis after this weekend? if so, who do they hire?
Sigh.  Charlie Weis was a good idea, but his execution has left a little to be desired.  I wouldn’t be surprised either way, letting him go or keeping him, but I have no idea who you’d replace [...]

Lovin’ You Is Easy Cause You’re Beautiful…

David “Wolverine” Garcia gets all weepy:
1. Why did you leave me? We were so could together…(looks at you longingly)
If I recall correctly, you were the one that left me.  You broke my heart, David…
2. If you could only save one, which would you save 10,000 burning bunnies or 100 starving Haitians?
100 starving Hatians, who [...]

Life Is One Big Exam None Of Us Studied For

J.R. gets deep:
Jason,
Is there a God? And if so, why did he make fruitcake?
Yes, there is.
Why he made fruitcake depends on who you talk to.  Fruitcaketarians believe God made fruitcake in his own image.  But that’s just crazy.  I mean, c’mon, these are people who feel nuts have no place in bread.  Who could [...]

It’s Turkey Day, Not Chicken Day

Hirons inquires:
Which came first . . .the chicken or the egg?
I would postulate that the egg came first, though it was laid by something similar to what we know now as a chicken but was not exactly so.  We will call this momma creature X-icken.  X-icken probably laid about a half a dozen eggs and [...]

Git-Fiddlin’

Don Jon Devon is a fan:
1) Whatever happened to that guitar thing you used to do? Still playing?
I haven’t had much time to fiddle around for quite some time now.  I’m actually quite bad, worse that before.  It’s really really sad.
2) Any new recordings you might share with us, particularly ones ending in the patented [...]

More Kenney For Delegate?

Greg asks the question:
Do you really think you’d have a chance against Del. McClellan?
Honestly, aside from you asking me about a run last week, I haven’t really given it serious consideration.  So I’ll instead open the floor to my readers:
What do you all think?
(This is a response to “Ask Me Something“, a feature where you [...]

The Other Other Other White Meat

Conservativa asks a very timely question:
Hi Jason,
Are you making this for Thanksgiving? If not, why not?
http://bacontoday.com/turbaconducken-turducken-wrapped-in-bacon/
Turducken is one of the greatest concotions to ever exist.  It proves that not only is there a God but that he truly loves each and every one of us.

Yet I will not be dining upon it because I have [...]

We Are Jason Kenney

Jeremy Hinton has discovered the conspiracy:
Have you confessed to your friends yet your secret life as a Canadian MP?
It’s not so much that I have a secret life in that I am part of a collective of Jason Kenney’s.  There’s the Cannuck, there’s the musician out of Georgia (where I was born, that should tell [...]

On The Sauce

Badrose wants to talk sides:
How do I make cranberry sauce that doesn’t taste like … cranberry sauce? Can you give me a good recipe? Is there cranberry jell-o I could make in a cranberry mold?
What would you want cranberry sauce to taste like?  I mean, I guess you could make cherry jello-o and call it [...]
