I was looking through some of my older posts before I came fully to WordPress and ran across Answer All these Random Questions one. It made me laugh so I thought I’d share again. Ahhh, I do miss Booklikes….

I roll around in my sleep, a lot. So they end up un-tucked.

  5. What kind of person eats chicken nuggets without a dip? I mean, it’s probably fifteen years since I last had chicken nuggets (I switched allegiance to Burgerking and always get their Cheeseburger Meal these days) but I always, ALWAYS had a dip, and always the same dip (sour cream and chive). Each to his own, I guess!

    1. A Tough Guy, that’s what kind 😀
      I think the last time I had nuggets was in ’15 when I was still doing security. Now I just buy the bags of chicken patties n make my own sandwich. On that I like ranch dressing.

  7. I was wondering about the never going to a concert part, but then I read further down and there’s an answer about not liking loud noises, haha.

    I also thought that your answer about not trusting a human author was a great one as well 🙂

    1. Glad you had a good time 😀
      Yeah, I’m pretty much every “X” Bookstooge when you come right down to it. Doctor Bookstooge, Lord Bookstooge, Saint Bookstooge, I’ve got all my bases covered 😉
      But really, no one outside of an apparently defunct textbook program uses the name, so I don’t have to share it with anyone or anything. I’m ok with that.

    1. Oh ho, not so fast there young lady! Pig Latin is a known and valuable language amongst the younger generations. Until they realize that everyone else knows it as well and can completely understand everything they’re saying 😀

    1. Most of the answers are from ’16, but still apply. The one or two that I felt were different, or where I was different, I interjected an additional comment.
      Still accurate “enough” though for a repost 😀
