Question:
This week's question comes from a friend who's actually about to give me a lot of shit over something backfiring on me, but that's a whole other story for another time. Anyway, she wants to know whether it's acceptable for a girl to ask a guy out directly?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
A pretty resounding yes to the question. So go ahead DC and lay it on the line for your lovely ginger. If it's so acceptable though, I wonder why I've never been asked? I mean you'd think there'd be at least one somewhere. I just get weirdos start to follow me around and before you say it, I know what you're thinking ... just cus they're following you around, you didn't have to marry them.

Question:
I had to pick up some tablets from the drive through pharmacy this week and there was a new girl there that found it very difficult to hear what I was saying. We were actually stuck on the identification part. She asked me to spell my name about five times, but wasn't capable of understanding the answer even when using a phonetic alphabet. On the last occasion when she asked “can you spell your name?” I simply replied “yes.” When someone asks if you can spell your name, should you always reply with a yes or no?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
Completely forgot I set this question. It's really backfired on me. I lost the bloody tablets I got last week and have had to go back and beg for some more. Now who's the muppet?

Question:
You're going to need to bear with me. This question has been five years coming and it's time to ask it now. So, last weekend I went to a party and poor William had to get a shower and get changed. I made him wear matching socks and he had to change once because I didn't think he looked smart enough. I also had a shower, trimmed beard, did all the other stuff you do when you're trying to look your best (I know, fighting a lost cause, but sometimes you got to put in the effort). Anyway, so I get the iron out to iron my shirt. William looks over and says “what you doing?” “Ironing” I replied. “I know that. I didn't realize you'd got an iron ...[pause]... actually, I did as mommy complained about it for about a year after you moved out.” Now, I'm laughing my head off thinking back to the day I moved out. I walked round the house and took the stuff I needed or thought I'd need at some point. I remember taking the iron and wondering if it would annoy my ex. Guess it did, lol. But you know what the real question is .... Do you think my ex bought a new toothbrush after I moved out?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 83% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (83%)
- No (17%)
Analysis:
Very interesting that pretty much everyone thinks that she did change her toothbrush. I don't. If she couldn't be bothered to change anything else, then I don't think she'd change her toothbrush, but I could be wrong.
Now, the bigger question you're all asking yourselves is what did I do to the toothbrush. We've all heard the joke about the person that came back to their apartment and all that was left was their toothbrush and camera. Then when the person got the film of the camera developed there was a photo of the burgler with the toothbrush up their arse.

Question:
With the inaugural first nascar chase race at Las Vegas resulting in the lowest ever attendance at a nascar race there, we have to ask, will there be another nascar chase race at Las Vegas?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (67%)
- Yes but at night (33%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
Well, my guess is yes on the basis that they've probably signed up for a 5 year deal, so they're probably locked into it for the next few years at least. There were a lot of people on the flight I was on up to Seattle talking about their preference to have the race at night to avoid the oppressive heat. The problem with this though is that then wouldn't allow the fans to go out on the town that night. I'm guessing that a lot of the draw to attend the race in Vegas is due to the fact that you can enjoy Vegas while you're there as well as the race. Could be wrong about that, but we'll see. That said, I personally think a night race would be better as it really was too hot to be out in the sun.

Question:
Some questions we ask are funny. Some political. Some topical and others just because they were what I was thinking of. Others take us back to the fabric of time and get us to question our very existence. Apologies to the American viewers as they may not quite get the importance and magnitude of this question for it is one that has been asked since before their existence. What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
Results:
Put him in bed with the captain's daughter was the clear winner with 80% of the votes from the following selection:
- Put him in a long boat 'till he's sober (0%)
- Shave his belly with a rusty razor (20%)
- Tie him to the taffrail when she's yard-arm under (0%)
- Put him in the scuppers with the deck pump on him (0%)
- Heave him by the leg in a runnin' bowline (0%)
- Put him in bed with the captain's daughter (80%)
Analysis:
So, I'm trying to figure out under what circumstances I would have a drunken sailor and be wondering what to do with him. That said, the best answer I saw online is “make him captain of an Exxon Tanker.”
That said, I'm also trying to figure out whether putting him in bed with the captain's daughter would be punishment or not. I'm thinking the gist of this is that when he gets caught by the captain, he'll get flogged. Alternatively it's because she's really ugly.

Question:
Another week, another trip. Off to Vegas again for a conference and it's the same old same old. Should I take my team out and party with them?
Results:
Yes - be the party animal and No - just pickup the tab tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes - be the party animal (50%)
- No - just pickup the tab (50%)
Analysis:
Not entirely sure what the answer to this is to be honest. I certainly wasn't the party animal, but I also wasn't Mr boring stay in my room. I think I just found a happy medium somewhere. My biggest challenge was the amount of walking that was involved from room to convention center, to restaurant, to bar, to wherever. I'm not really sure I've got too many Vegas conferences left in me.

Question:
My biggest dilemma right now is what to do on the housing front. Kind of bored with my apartment and the rent keeps going up. There's actually not a lot of rental choice on the market either. Housing market as basically stalled and potentially looks like it might crash. What should I do for housing?
Results:
Find somewhere else to rent was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Stay in your apartment (20%)
- Find somewhere else to rent (60%)
- Buy somewhere (20%)
Analysis:
Well, I've decided to stay where I am, but continue to look for somewhere to buy. Want to keep my eyes on the market to see what's happening and don't want to rush into a decision. I did the economics and it's not too bad to stay and cut the lease early if I find that amazing property. Doubt that will happen as I'm not really the kind of guy that just falls in love with a house.

Question:
A couple of weeks back William broke his water bottle and on Friday I broke the case for my phone. Both of these are classic instances where I thought .... bit of super glue will fix that. Well, my super glue had dried up and I keep thinking back and can't remember anytime I've actually used super glue and it's worked. Have you ever used super glue and had it work?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (0%)
- No (100%)
Pre-Result Discussion
Analysis:
This actually makes me laugh as I keep buying the stuff and it doesn't work. Some great marketing from somewhere. Also like my Dad's suggestion to use Gorilla Glue. I was including that in the general category of super glue as I've tried that and it didn't work either. Promises of being able to fix something and make it stronger than it originally was in seconds. Yeah, right!

Question:
It's car time again and I'm running through the big question. To mod or not to mod? There's a lot of things I'm thinking of doing, but probably just going to start small with wheels and tires. Should I mod my car?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
Interesting, I wasn't expecting this to be a resounding yes. I thought there might be some dissenters out there wanting me to keep the car pure. We'll have to see. I'm definitely not going to make any major modifications in a rush as it's actually pretty complicated. To change the wheels itself is hard enough as you have to keep the diameter of the front and rear within 1% of each other, else you'll burn out the front clutch in the AWD system. Similarly, if you increase the power of the car, the ECU won't let you put it down as fast as standard when you're driving a track. It's OK in a straight line, but if you're exiting a corner, the ECU gets more power than it's expecting and cuts it to the wheels, so you actually put in slower lap times. Kind of need to be careful that you don't accidentally do something that makes you slower rather than quicker.
