BAQ2

Posted by Bryan

BAQ is explained here. And away we go...

1. Brenda Mannion?
   Um, no. Brenda and I went to school together back in Craig, but we're often confused for each other. She's 5'2" and probably 100 pounds after being thrown in the river fully dressed...I'm 6'2" and I last weighed 100 pounds in the 7th grade. If I remember correctly, she married Eric Hough and they still live in Craig. Thanks for asking, though.
2. Axe effects voice recognition?
   Most definitely, yes. An axe will certainly affect your voice recognition.
3. Carrie Underwood toes?
   I confess, I don't have much expertise in this area, but I contacted local handymen and they informed me about a limited range of items that you could carry under wood toes, including toe nails, toe jams, toe rings, and toe holds. But because you are carrying them under wood toes, you should always watch out for splinters.
4. Reasons for going to college instead of to work?
   The reasons are manifold, my friend. Hearkening back to Statistics 401 at the North Georgia Cross Roads University, The average salary differential between a high school graduate and a college graduate is like $523,000 a year, annually per year. And the food in college has a verifiably less negative net caloric effect on the human body than does work place meal consumption. It's a proven, verifiable fact. Okay, so that's not "manifold." It's more like "duofold." But its a start. And if you haven't gone to college yet, that may be enough.



5. Pope John Paul's real name?
   You probably got some bad information on this, so I'm here to clear things up. Most people would tell you his name was XX. That's not right. That's the name of Pope John Paul II, who by analogy was the Meet the Fockers to Pope John Paul I's Meet the Parents. Anyway, the first John Paul's name (which is what you were asking, was Albino Luciani. Prior to ascending to the papacy, he went by "Al," or "Whitey," as an ironic nickname, given his ruddy complexion.
6. Can I find the words to tell you the warmth of your sweet embrace?
   Given that we barely know each other, I think not. But that's a kind sentiment, nonetheless. You've made me blush.
7. Workplace gossip psychosis?

   While I remain unqualified to offer a scientific assessment such as 'psychosis,' I will tell you that I just had an interesting email chain where a writer told me he'd be a little behind because they'd be 'inducing Megan this week.' I misread that as "introducing Megan this week," and thought it must be someone new in the office. So I asked, "who's Megan?" He answered, jokingly, ""My girlfriend, who I impregnated." I did a spit take with my coffee all upon my monitor. And then I re-read the email chain and felt sheepishly silly.



8. What has Pope john paul done to change catholicism?
   Hardly anything since April 2, 2005.


9. Staples desk apprentices?
   I don't recommend it, unless of course, your apprentice is given to wandering. Then it may be useful to keep track of the little fella.

Until next time....keep searching.
