Packed with sugar for energy!

 

QUESTION:     I'm writting these words because I want to know how long does it take you to write an answer. Well?  (Sergey)

ANSWER:   What about a well?  Did you fall down one as a child?  I spent over 7 years in one, existing only on natural mosses and small rodents.  That probably explains a lot, such as why it takes me a few days to answer these questions.

 

QUESTION:     Is the world round?  (Bill & Kathy Wallace)

ANSWER:   Look, I know Mother Nature has been letting herself go recently, but that's no reason to start making fat jokes.   It was just Mother's Day for cryin' out loud; have some respect. 

 

QUESTION:     Skippy,am I a Dork?  (Bill & Kathy Wallace)

ANSWER:   That depends.  It sounds like you need Dr. Skippy's Home Nerdocity Test.   Step 1:  Check the rim of your pants.  Are there any vertical belt-like attachments (commonly known as "suspenders")?  Step 2:  Now check the face.  If you were to throw a fist sized rock at your eyes, would it first be stopped by inch thick lab goggles before inflicting a deep, gushing wound?  If you answered yes to any of the above, I'm afraid you're a dork.  Please check yourself into your local Dork Home and have them administer emergency shots of adrenaline.

 

QUESTION:     Dear Skippy, Is it better to eat fewer calories, or to exercise more?  (Danibobanny)

ANSWER:   This depends on your goals, Danny.  If you are going for that hideously-obese look, this would definitely not be the proper route to take.  Instead, I recommend limiting your diet to a steady intravenous supply of rich creamery butter.  Pork fat can be substituted in emergency situations.

 

QUESTION:     Why do cows lay down before it rains? Should I go out with Adam?  Please reply QUICK!!!!! As I'm sure you can tell, I'm desperate for an answer!!!!!!!!!  (Klassique)

ANSWER:   The only thing you're desperate for, Klassique, is some exclamation point pointers!  (<-- note the strategic use of a single "!" for emphasis)

 

QUESTION:     Hey skippy, if do you have a recipe for home made candycanes I really want one but they stopped selling them like 2 months ago!  (Jodi Whetung)

ANSWER:   Not only do I know how, but I've added a page with the special recipe!

 

QUESTION:     Why does Celion Dion's heart must go on?? Why does she suck? For a while there they played that song every 20 minutes or so. It was like, "Hey is that Celion again, Oh the muffins are ready."  Come on no one wants to hear her whiny little anorexic voice anymore.  She has to be stopped.  (Lola46)

ANSWER:   I'm afraid that even strangulation wouldn't help in Celion's case, as she is a full-fledged robot.  Man, I sure did love all those muffins though.  I just started tossing stuff into the mix after awhile.  Beets, corn, anything I could find...and you don't even WANT to know what the "blue" muffins were made of!  (Okay, you guessed it: Smurfs.   They pop when ya cook 'em though, spilling their creamy insides all over for a tasty, lip-smacking treat!)

 

QUESTION:     where are you going for spring break, huh huh huh?? (lola46)

ANSWER:   Actually, I was thinking of going to Australia.

 

QUESTION:     why must I collect toenails for the toenail fairy?? Why was I picked??  (LOla46)

ANSWER:   I think a better question in this case is why do you keep picking at your feet?  Man, did you ever just spend the whole day just picking at your feet and eating corn on the cob without washing your hands all day long?  I know KFC talks about its 11 herbs and spices, but they ain't got nothin' on a little feet seasoning.

 

QUESTION:     To skippy!  Why does Mr. John always have the same facial expression? Has he had a face lift? (jacc)

ANSWER:   Actually, he received a process similar to a face lift, only somewhat different.  It's called a "face straightening."  Every morning after a hearty breakfast of cheese, Mr. John applies several coats of rubber cement to his facial regions.  Within minutes, his face is stiff as a board, as well as protected from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Fist sized rocks (see above) even bounce right off!

 

QUESTION:     Skippy, (if that is indeed your Christian name) what are your feelings about linoleum? I understand if this subject is of too personal a nature to be answered on a public site. (Remus)

ANSWER:   I prefer my linoleum with peanut butter and a light dusting of soy sauce.  On special occasions, I add those little paper umbrellas.

 

QUESTION:     1. Why are the little green communists salvaging my toes? Please make then stop.  2. Will Naked Boy be elected President in 2000? I think he would do very well.  (Crabby14)

ANSWER:   Hey, we all know the rules.   Repeat it with me now, "If my feet fall off in international waters, and I do not make attempts to rescue them within 24 hours, my feet can legally be salvaged by all comers.  Even communists."  As far as Naked Boy goes, I asked Bob Dole about it and he told me, "Bob Dole thinks that Bob Dole cannot put added pressure on Bob Dole's body to run again in 2000."  He will still be appearing naked in television ads for Pepsi, Pepto Bismol, and the milk counsel.

 

QUESTION:     Why do the people at the mall think we are "gangs"? Its called a bunch of kids. And tell those bastards that we don't think we could have stolen things out of their cars if they had alarms. We're not that smart. Sheesh. (tracey)

ANSWER:   Don't worry Tracey, I have no doubt as to your stupidity.  However, a reasonable course of action would be to form an actual gang.  Then you can rent out the arcade for butt-kickin' parties with all your mall friends, not to mention the added bonus of group discounts at the Gangs-R-Us Straight-Up-Whack-Clothin' Shack.

 

QUESTION:     OHHHH MY GOD!! Ahem - I am the one who calls himself Batman - perhaps I shouldn't have given you that long of a question? what did i do to deserve THIS?!?! Now you realize that she might stalk me again!?!?! She did that over the summer between 7th and 8th grade! I'm serious! And I finally got myself a girlfriend - I don't need her bugging me! AHHH!! I asked for this. I think I'm going to go burn my bat socks... *shudder* Please do anything to make her go away - tell her I'm gay for all I care at this point. She probably thinks I am anyway. I'm gonna go now... Alfred? Get me my Bat-gun....
(- Batman.. a very sad Batman indeed...)

ANSWER:   Don't worry everyone.   The Batman questions will now end.  Batman has just been ritualistically slaughtered by Richard Simmons and a gang of heavily obese dancers.

 

QUESTION:     Dear Skippy- Now that Tracey and Derek (Batman) are engaged, is it a private party or can I join in too? Is Batman up for a threesome?  (Kelly)

ANSWER:   See above.  And while you're at it, could you clean up the floor?  There's blood everywhere.

 

QUESTION:     are you gay skippy and have u ever had a bird girlfriend!  (benny)

ANSWER:   Ah young misguided Benny, you remind me of that guy I stabbed to death with a sharpened Pez dispenser in Tijuana last week.  Except last week = tomorrow.  And that guy = you.  :)

 

QUESTION:     why o why do the facist pigs make me get up so early? (tracey)

ANSWER:   Tracey, you have to set goals for yourself.  You're never going to climb the barnyard status ladder by hanging out with the cows til 3am every night.  Start small.  Kiss up to a few chickens here and there.  Slip the horses a carrot every once in a while.  Soon you'll be in control of the whole barnyard system and eating delectable pork dinners every Thursday.

 

QUESTION:     Skippy, are you cute?  (sue minturn)

ANSWER:   Well that depends.  Do you mean "people cute" or "muskrat cute?"  I'm a real lady killer among the muskrats, let me tell ya. 

 

QUESTION:     Recently while watching Star Trek: voyager it suddenly became very apparent that the crew has been wasting away in the delta quadrant for no reason at all. You see, the crew is comprised of humans therefore food replicators were installed throughout the ship. These replicators are capable of creating many wonder culinary delights but can be configured to replicate anything desired. So, why doesn't the usually intelligent crew replicate themselves a "transwarp fish stick". With such a device the crew could easily send messages to the alpha quadrant and back. Not only are "transwarp fish sticks" extremely fast but they are also impervious to attacks from the meddling borg. If a borg tried to assimilate the fascistic the result would be a deep-fried borg cube (which could then be sold to Red Lobster at a huge profit) To not employ this solution defies logic. Perhaps you can shed some light on this situation.  (dowlerd)

ANSWER:   They may be fast, and they may be capable of stunning evasive maneuvers, but let me tell you:  those things can really wreak havoc on your digestive system.  I was snacking on a few of those "transwarp fish sticks" just the other day when all of a sudden my stomach started groaning and I blacked out.  I woke up about 4.5 light years away.  Take it from me, that's no easy hike.  I had to buy several new pairs of sneakers along the way at the Galactic Foot Locker Huts.

 

QUESTION:     Is my name really bob? Why? (I think my name is BOB)

ANSWER:   You seem to have gotten your name confused.  It's not really Bob.  It's actually the reverse of Bob.  Do you feel better now, boB? 

 

QUESTION:     Dear Skippy:  At work recently, I was designing a test actuation switchbox using debouncing buffer circuitry and an electronic load bank for the exciter field, and I started wondering why I can't dislodge this popcorn from between my teeth. What's the exact tongue-to-gum torque ratio required for such an act?  (Cindy Long)

ANSWER:   Actually I don't recommend using gum.  It's very ineffective.  Try something sharper, like the edge of a television.

 

QUESTION:     Who had given you such a funny name?  (Natasha V.)

ANSWER:   Probably the same people that gave you such a short last name.  Can I call you V?  Or is that reserved just for formal occasions?  (i.e. cleaning the air ducts, removing ticks from the cat, etc.)

 

QUESTION:     I don't have a question. i just wanted to tell you that you are a very famous man{if thats what you are, not to imply that you're not if you are} at my school. we praise your words. and i don't want to get the bottlecaps removed. (tracey)

ANSWER:   I'm sorry Tracey, but the bottlecaps must go.  Otherwise the infection may spread, and we will be forced to remove your face.  Dreadfully sorry, dear.

 

QUESTION:     What year will I get married? (Ann Slaughter)

ANSWER:   It's not so much the year that matters, it's what you'll serve at the reception.  I've been working in my basement labs and I'm happy to report that I finally perfected the recipe for a wedding cake made 87% out of Tang.  Not only will the guests all love the invigoratingly orange taste, but they'll all feel like astronauts.  Dig in!

 

QUESTION:     Dear skippy how is it that most people make fun of ohters that say that the world is going to end in the year 2000 and then they start making calls to be shure that everything they own is Y2K complient.(acrb)

ANSWER:   I don:t knohe waht the preblom is reelly, but it seems to b affekting my spell check.  Aparentli it's affeckting yours as well.

 

QUESTION:     Dear Skippy, Have you ever spent 7 hours looking for scholarships on the "request" of a parent?(i.e Harping, Threats, and the usual "Sit down or I'll kill the bunny" routine). If you have, what does one do when they don't find one? And if you haven't, what is the best way to move faster then the speed of light? I tried the subway, but I think it just isn't the same anymore. (MasterSet)

ANSWER:   I recommend inventing a scholarship of your own.  I gave myself a grant from "The Biscuit Foundation."  I told my parents that I won it due to my entry in a bake-off.   I made my specialty Tang wedding cake.  (see above)  I have to ship my mother a carton of biscuits every week to keep the cover going.  But it's worth it.  P.S. I steal the biscuits.

 

QUESTION:     Yeah, Skippy do you know anything about horses? My horse is being a real bitch lately. Is it just that time of the month or something? Skippy, if I drop you off of a building and drop a feather at the same time, which will reach the ground at the first?  (Thomas Clupper)

ANSWER:   It sounds to me that you haven't been paying much attention to her lately.  Remember, it's also about the flowers and candy and sweet little notes.  Remind her how much you care, then the sweet, sweet lovin' will return.  At the first of what?  The hour?  The month?  The chair on which I place my cornucopia of Smurf action figurines?

 

QUESTION:     What is the most productive and fun way to wax my beautiful new car? (Kristina Elizabeth Granby)

ANSWER:   I recommend using a soft cloth and a jar of rich, creamy peanut butter.  Not only does it shine up nicely, but it also gives you that glossy tan hue that everyone will be talking about in the morning.   Don't worry if it rains the next day, the peanut butter wax isn't going anywhere baby!   The natural peanut oil also helps in the fight against rust.  It also makes your car interior reek of stale peanuty goodness.

 

QUESTION:     Why do cattle lie down when there's a storm coming? Cows do it, bulls do it, buffalo do it, even oxen do it. But WHY?!!!  (Charles Richardson)

ANSWER:   Probably so that when Farmer Bill comes out yelling, "Hey all you farm animals, be careful, I reckon there's a storm brewing," he is the tallest and thus, is also the one that the lightning hits. 

 

QUESTION:     Why is having a pet skunk illegal in Maryland, even though skunks to be sold as pets have their stink glands surgically removed? I hear they're no worse than ferrets, so why ban them as pets? Rabies...or something else?  (Charles Richardson)

ANSWER:   Actually, they ban them due to fear that the skunks will decimate the local crab population.  Have you ever seen a skunk eat a crab?  It's not pretty.  They don't just use their teeth, they bring their own tiny forks and mallets.  They also make a heck of a mess.  Crab shells everywhere!

 

QUESTION:     Why do wolves have such funny-looking tails?  (Charles Richardson)

ANSWER:   Hey, be nice!  I'm sure that wolves look at you all the time and ask each other, "Momma wolf, why does Charles Richardson have such a large forehead that the sun reflects off of and starts fires" and "Daddy wolf, why does Charles Richardson have such hairy feet?"

 

QUESTION:     hi skippy! i was wondering sometimes after i get out of my pool i have this green gunk stuck under my fingernails and in between my toes how do i get rid or it?  (Tracy)

ANSWER:   Sounds like you need the help of leeches.  Yes, leeches.  The medical wonder drug of the 1800's.   Leeches can not only clean the gunk from under your nails, but can also rid you of "bad blood" and "evil spirits."  Order your leeches today!

 

QUESTION:     what does moohaha mean?  (Jodi Whetung)

QUESTION:    will jason go out with me?  (anie)

ANSWER:   Who do I look like Dr. Laura Schlesinger?  No seriously, do I look like her?  I hope not.  I would have to take my own life.  Either that, or scrape off my face with the closest sharp metal object I find.

 

QUESTION:     dear skippy, what are your thoughts on using lesbian tactis to get guys? A friend and I pretend to be lesbians and it works. We get guys comong up to us and hitting on us. My friend and I beleive that it is in the guy pychy that making lesbians straight is a conquest. tell me your thoughts. (Bob Martin)

ANSWER:   You pretend to be a lesbian, Bob?  That sounds like one heck of a "tactis."  You probably own so much makeup that people at the bar refer to you and say, "Maybe he's born with it.   Maybe it's Bob." 

 

QUESTION:     "Why have the satan-spawn giants stepped on my puppy?"  (Huskydeath)

ANSWER:  I'm thinking you brought this one on yourself with the whole "death" in the name thing.

 

QUESTION:     Was that plane made out of Bob's back hair?  (Huskydeath)

ANSWER:   Does the plane smell like Pert Plus?  If it does, it may have been Lesbian Bob!  He shampoos his back twice a day.  Except on Thursdays.  That's when he thinks up new "tactis."

 

QUESTION:     Why do fools fall in love?  (RBoisj3435)

ANSWER:   Why do fools write lame questions?  I guess we'll never know, eh Bois?

 

QUESTION:     So, Mr. "Skippy" (as if that really is your name), I have some questions for you. First, what is the average velocity of an unladen swallow? Next, does the school put up filters? Do they think we're a bunch of little specks of germy things?  And finally, where were you the night of April 28, 1997? I think that you are actually my long lost brother, Skipper. Skipper, come home! I think that it's been long enough. Mom doesn't remember the Kool Aid-Jell-o-Spam-Cement-Mixer Incident.  (ElkaBera)

ANSWER:   I was finally able to catch one of those swallows the other day.  And upon weighing it I noticed that it had the same weight as a certain British comedy troop from the early 80's.  And as far as the brother thing goes, I'm sorry to say that it's not me.  That was the night I made a giant pyramid out of used golf carts.  Well, they weren't really used, but it's not like I stole them or anything.  Ok, I stole them.  Are you happy now?

 

QUESTION:     SKIPPY? are you there? my mother will not stop her incisive rhyming. its drives me crazy, should i make her eat the moldy cheese or what? (tracey)

ANSWER:   Your question I don't understand, so I suggest you chew your hand.

 

QUESTION:     Why do potato chips get smaller the farther down the bag you eat? Are they the runts? Do their mothers want to get them out of the way? Or for that matter did their mothers smoke when they ( the mothers) were pregnant? Does this adversely affect their sex life? Am I allowed to ask this many questions? What do your feet smell like? Am I just a lonely person craving attention on the net? Do I need counselling? Do the potato chips at the bottom of the bag need counselling? What about their mothers? please answer as we are two very confused individuals. (Sincerely Jennifer and Dice)

ANSWER:   To me, potato chips are a lot like keys.  I'm always searching for that perfectly shaped chip, one that will open the door to my personal land of bliss where I control all the giant ants.  P.S. I am rich there.

 

QUESTION:     How do you become a movie star??????? (Mick Gage)

ANSWER:   Well, the path to stardom is a long and torturous one.  Did you know that Hollywood greats Kirk Cameron and Ralph Machio got their starts while working in an underground cave?  Even minors need entertainment deep in their personal coal-laden pits of despair.  Kirk and Ralph both provided sanity-ensuring entertainment with their juggling talents.  They were soon discovered and became the stars that they are today.  Give it a shot, this is your path to greatness!

 

QUESTION:     o wise skippy, why can't my friends just all be friends? (Crabby14)

ANSWER:   Because if they were, why would we have any need for pants?  Think of what the loss of pants would bring.   No more khakis, no more jeans, no more annoying Old Navy commercials with that old woman that is slowly rotting before our very eyes.  Wait, come to think of it maybe we'd be better off...

 

QUESTION:    Whenever I make out with my boyfriend, my tongue shrinks, why is that? (SaELa1029)

Are these new virus strains? How do I protect myself if they are?   (James Valentine)

QUESTION:     dear skippy : what color prom dress should I get? Is it acceptable to dye my date to match it? (twinkie)

ANSWER:   Purple is all the rage this season.  Just ask the fashion authority of the world:  The Gap.  They always tell me the current styles and what is "hip."  And while I don't recommend dying your date to match your dress, I do recommend dying your feet.  That way, you don't need to wear uncomfortable shoes and you still match perfectly!

 

QUESTION:     Skippy:, What is the shelf life of Campbell's "Bean with Bacon" soup.  I have had a can of this soup since 1967. Is it still good, or what?  (Hondo)

ANSWER:   Actually it's the same as the career life of Kevin Bacon.  Oddly enough, he was born in 1967 too!  (And judging by his current lack of blockbuster roles, your soup is probably very rancid by now.)

 

QUESTION:     Do you pledge you life in the fight against squirrels for the tree rat is an eveil creature bent on world domination?  (Jill Bock)

QUESTION:     Skippy, why don't you answer our question? (Sincerely Jennifer and Dice)

ANSWER:   I've been seriously considering it for the last few days, but everytime I notice your friend's name is Dice, I always go back to my incessant gambling.  They're really gonna break my knees next week if I don't win back all the novelty ties I lost at the game last week.

ANSWER:   Those are your spandex pants?  I thought that one of the members of the Scandinavian Limerick Club left them here.  I'm not responsible for all those stains though.  That's your business.   And where the heck did you leave my kilt?  I need it for next week's Scottish dancing competition.

 

QUESTION:     These questions are from my friend, who does not have home access to the o great niftyness, but is a true fan of your page. You know, I have forgotten these questions, do you know what they are? do you know my friend? (tracey)

ANSWER:   It sounds like you have osteoporosis.  It's common in women and is caused by lack of calcium in your diet.   Remember: no one likes a girl that breaks all the time.  Drink more milk and watch the love come flowin' in!  Unless you're lactose-intolerant, in which case it will come flowing out.  Yuck.

QUESTION:     At a recent trip to a nudist campground, I became aware of the difficulty of not having pockets in which to carry things.
