So...

What was the best pre-deadline trade in Major League Baseball in the past seven days?

Do you like them? And if so, who makes the best ones?

What artist (and it can be any form of art) do you think has a web site that truly compliments the art?

If you could change your ears, what would you change about them?

That's right, I'm prying into your business...

What are you doing for fun this weekend?

Here's a fun little game... take any character in any movie, and cast David Broder as that character. The more bizarre, the better. What character would it be?

What song's lyrics gives you the creeps?

(and yes, this question was spurred by something I'm listening to now...)

Maybe all this hullabaloo about Bush giving German Chancellor Angela Merkel a rubdown is just a bit of jealous talk. When you're the leader of the free world, you can massage any other country's leader you want, it's a matter of tradition. Eisenhower was known for his foot massages of Salote Mafile`o Pilolevu Veionga Tupou III, Queen of Tonga; Johnson enjoyed mini karate chop therapy on the arms of Sri Lanka's Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike; Nixon often talked about deep tissue massage with María Estela ('Isabel') Martínez de Perón of Argentina; and, of course, the infamous full body massages of Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. Let's just face up to it, maybe we're just jealous and we all want to massage a world leader.

So, if you were the leader of the free world, what country's leader would you massage?

Just got my greatest hits of The Cars CD. Memories of past good times. So tell me...

What are your favorite three songs by The Cars?

We need to increase efficiency in the English language, and perhaps the easiest way to do it is to downsize the alphabet. Too many letters doing the same job. C and S can sound the same. C and K also. The whole E/A thing, and O/U thing. We have to let some letters go, make our language more streamlined and flexible.

Accounting says three letters have to be cut. Which three letters should go?

Today's question is actually about blogging:

About how many comments do you post on other folks' blogs on an average day?

That's right... Oktoberfest.

For years now, a buddy of mine and I have been pestering our wives about all of us going to an Oktoberfest. Leave the kids at home, and go drink beer and polka the day away. Neither of our wives are big beer drinkers, but they "taste test" them, so it's not a complete loss for them, and besides, they can keep an eye on us if they come along.

For years they declined. Finally, last weekend, we had a breakthrough, and now we're all going to an Oktoberfest this fall in Pennsylvania.

The question is - what is the best Oktoberfest to go to? Have you been to an Oktoberfest in Pennsylvania? If so, do tell your experiences, and let us know. No telling when we'll get to go to another one, so we want to go to a fun one.

Just wondering...

Have you ever given a eulogy?

I don't know, just thought about the band and decided to ask:

If you had to pick your favorite two songs by Electric Light Orchestra, which ones would you pick?

(I stopped listening to them after Out of the Blue, but the discography is here)

I know we're not supposed to hate animals, but some of them are just so damn annoying. So what insect do you hate most? I'm so tempted to say Japanese Beetle, but there are a couple I dislike more...

You might be surprised to see how much work he's done already.

So what is your favorite movie with a Will Ferrell performance?
