Stupid Questions on Yahoo! Answers

Writing has been something I’ve always done.

Always.

I remember having a typewriter when I was little…

It was one of those nice electric ones.

It even had a button you could push to correct your mistakes.

And I’ll never forget the first time I saw a computer…

It was in kindergarten.

I was born in the ’80s…

So, I remember the computer screen being black, with bright green letters.

And who could forget the “floppy disk?”

Intense.

Well, back then it was–especially for a kid.

I bet it was tough to research then.

Look how far we’ve come…

Computers practically run the world.

And what if Google was never invented?

How different would our lives be if there was no such thing as technology?

I mean, with just a few keywords, you can find out about practically anything on the Internet.

And sometimes research just isn’t enough…

Need advice?

Hello, Yahoo! Answers.

This is the place to go if you want other people’s opinions.

“Is my boyfriend cheating on me?”

“I have this weird rash, what do you think it is? Pictures attached.”

“Why won’t she leave me alone?”

“Honestly, am I ugly?”

You get the drift?

And as I was scrolling down all these random questions, something caught my eyes…

“I injected chocolate ice cream directly into my bloodstream to win a bet, what’s going to happen?”

Is this a joke?

This person even questioned if it was worth it or not…


Yes, this was really posted on Yahoo! Answers.

Then my wheels started turning…


“Hmmm,” I thought.

“If I found this stupid question, I bet I could find more.”



Let the digging begin.

I went through hundreds and hundreds of questions…

And here are the results…

“Could I get in trouble for pooping my pants at work?”

Wow, what a question huh?

Well, this person got the advice they were looking for…

And it went something like this…

“Good thought-provoking question. Why don’t you do it, then let the rest of us know what happens? This really must be researched.”

I hope they feel better.

At this point, I’m thinking it just can’t get any better than this…

So I continued on reading question after question.

My eyes were starting to burn from starring at the computer screen…

And my index finger was cramping from continuously rolling the wheel on my mouse downward…

I was just getting ready to call it quits…

Until I read this…

“Please, how much would it hurt to put a knife through your head?”

Is this for real?

Well, as I continued reading, I found out this person was depressed…

(You think)?

Sad…

And I have all the empathy in the world…

But this was a stupid question.

Now, let’s switch gears a little bit and focus on health and beauty.

Read this…

“Is it safe to eat/inhale propane? My dad Hank says propane is part of a balanced breakfast and makes me eat it help.”

Now I’m sure this is just someone trying to be funny…

And most of the time, a stupid question will get a stupid answer.

All I can say is that some people did get creative with this one.

Next question.

“How do I give myself liposuction? I tried a turkey baster that I sharpened attached to a vacuum but it’s not sucking anything out. It just bleeds a lot.”

Can you believe that someone would actually do this?

Me neither.

And the brilliant advice is…

“I used the vacuum and it kind of worked, but I once had this thing for wine, I think it would like suck air out of the bottle, and it worked so well.”

Now, who in their right mind would even consider doing something like this?

Like I said before…

A stupid question will get a stupid answer.

And trust me, there’s a ton more…

And I would end up writing a book if I were to talk about each and every one of them.

So here’s the best of what I found…

(Drum roll please)

• “Ok where is the vulva and what purpose does it serve?”

Now, if you don’t know what this is, then I suggest you follow the link.

And to name a few more…

• “What type of beer makes you look cool? HELP.”

• “How do I tell my grandma I don’t want to wrestle her again?”

• “Is my Best friend a vampire or not?”

And last but not least…

• “Can you die without breathing?”

This now concludes my long list of shocking, stupid questions I found on Yahoo! Answers.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

Please don’t hesitate to tell me what’s OnUrMind.

For All You Fashionistas Out There

Fashion.

Believe it or not, we are all into fashion in some way…

Think about it.

When you’re getting ready to have a night out on the town…

Or just going to the movies…

Or even going to the gym…

There is always some kind of an effort.

Even if it’s minimal.

What we pick and choose off the clothes racks reflects our sense of style–no matter where we are…

A thrift store…

Flea market…

Macy’s or Saks…

We choose what we wear.

And what we wear is a reflection of our personalities–at least that’s what I think.
Even if you can’t afford the “latest trend” by Chanel or Louis Vuitton…

You still try to look nice…

Or at least descent.

Right?

However, most of us just can’t afford to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on big name clothes.

Personally, I think you can still look nice with the shirt and pants you got on sale…

And maybe those sale items are designer.

Yes, you can find some designer names at a discounted price…

And yes, it still might be expensive, but if you’re a “slave to fashion” then why not?

To some people, fashion is their life…
And they will pay the price for those big names…

Or the latest trend (big name or not).

And what complements a great outfit better than a killer pair of shoes?

Now, if you want to make a fashion statement, then you have to get a pair of these.

That’s right…

Muy caliente

These spicy shoes will dress up any outfit.

And if you really want to stick out in the crowd–then these are a “must- have.”


Currently, these are the hottest trend in Mexico.

Now, I haven’t seen any risk takers here in Colorado just yet…

But I heard there have been sightings in Texas.

“Where do I wear them?”

Well, these are clubbin’ shoes….

And apparently, the ladies are drawn to the men who wear these like a magnet.

You can even put accessories on the ends of the
toes…

“Accessories?”

Yes, accessories like small crystal balls.

No joke.

And the beautiful, bright festive colors will surly brighten your day…

Except for mine of course.

Now, I’m not “knockin’ the boots” (so to speak)…

And I’m certainly not knockin’ the Mexican culture…

(Hello, my last name is Romo).

But, really?

Now, I’ve never been too much of a risk-taker when it comes to fashion…


And I do have some killer shoes…


Colored ones…

A few pair of pointy Steve Madden boots…

Hot…

Patterns and all.

But, as for these…

Nah, I’m alright.

And I’m sure there are people out there who might love these boots…

And I’ll bet some of you who are reading this blog right now totally “dig” them…

And that’s ok.

You know, lately I’ve seen some really crazy fashion on the runways of
Paris and New York…

But this, takes the cake.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

Please don’t hesitate to tell me what’s OnUrMind.

My Krav Maga Adventure

I bet most of you are wondering…

What is Krav Maga?

That’s what I said too.

I saw an advertisement for Krav Maga while riding shotgun about a month ago…

And it wasn’t a brightly colored, screaming advertisement that could get your attention from space…


It was simple.

Just a picture of a woman…

Totally ripped…

And it read, “Krav Maga. It’s that good.”

Hmmm…

It’s not boxing…

It’s not martial arts…

And it’s not aerobics…

It’s insane.

And it makes anything I’ve ever done athletically look easy.

Krav Maga is a form of self-defense.

An Israeli form of defense…

These are the guys who train the self-defense instructors of some of Colorado’s law enforcement.

Just to name a few, Colorado State Patrol, Boulder County and Denver…

And come to find out, Krav Maga is favored by U.S. law enforcement agencies all over the world…

Yep, they all learned to kick some major ass here–and teach it to their fellow colleagues.

And just when you think you’re in shape…


Well, think again.

It seems like you never stop moving…

Unless of course, you want to.

And I actually did a few times…

When I was pounding the hell out of a bag…

And again when I just couldn’t kick any more.

Then the instructor busted me.

Woops.

So when I got to that point, I had to psychologically psyche myself out…

I swear, I wanted to throw up at least once.

And as bad as that sounds…

This is my kind of workout (haha).

I kind of knew what I was in for after the warm-up…

And this was an intro class.

However there were some people in there that had 3 to 6 months in…

But they did other things on top of Krav Maga.

Like CrossFit…

Something totally different that I need to try.

I still can’t believe how exhausted I got…

And I kept jumping in and out of the class to take pictures and still got winded.

This means I got to take a few more breathers than everyone else…

Oh, and you should’ve seen them.


Red…

Soggy…

And

Exhausted.

This was so much fun.

And with that said, I know what you might be thinking…

No, I wasn’t asked to do this blog…

No perks.

(Not that I’d accept any)

And this isn’t a “pitch.”

I just had to write about Krav Maga because it was a great experience, and I know it will whip you into shape real fast.

I know this because the instructor told me that he once weighed 235 pounds..

(He showed me his drivers license to prove it)

Instructor:MikeMcDonald

And six months into the program he was down to 180…

And this was over 5 years ago.

Another participant who has been there for 6 months told me she seen results in about 2 months or so.

And neither of them have an ounce of fat on them.But, as with everything, you have to work for what you want…

And I find this as a unique way to take care of yourself…

Not only in the name of health…

But in the name of protection as well.

(Especially these days)

So if you’re curious, check it out.

They teach other things besides self-defense…

And I can’t wait to try them.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

Have You Ever Noticed...

I have been around video games my whole life, seriously.

JacobMetcalf

I remember when Nintendo first came out—I use to love playing Super Mario Brothers…

I was good too.

And what about Mike Tyson's Punch Out?

Here I was, about 8 years old (give or take), woopin’ some ass…

CharlesWilliams

Bam!

And to this day, no one believes me when I tell them I actually beat Mike Tyson on Mike Tyson's Punch Out. 

(Please keep in mind that I have three older brothers).

Could I do it again?

Probably not…

What am I getting at?

pheaber

Well, I paid a visit to an arcade bar in downtown Denver…

“1up.”

Pretty cool place.

And it's exactly what it says it is…

It kind of reminds me of an adult version of Chuck E. Cheese…

(Minus the ball pen and yellow prize tickets of course).

They even have Skee-Ball.

sambeckwith

And practically all the “classics” are there…

Galaga, Pac Man, Donkey Kong…

And my point is...

Have you ever noticed that everyone has a video game face?

“A what?”

A video game face.

I noticed that when someone is really into a game, they make a face.

Now, not just any face...

Pocheco

A special face...

And you only get to see it when they play a video game.

Some people stick their tongues out…

Some people’s upper lip disappears...

wwarby

Some people leave their mouths open…

Squint their eyes…

Tilt their heads…

You get my point?

And I’m seriously amazed at how long someone can go without blinking.

Now back to the story.

So there I was playing Galaga...


And it was then that I noticed...


That I too am guilty of the video game face.

Mine is real serious though...

Stefan

Concentrating...

It looks like I’m studying for finals…

Haha, busted!

And now that you’ve read this, you’re going to notice it too...

Not only with other people…

But with yourself.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this…

Am I The Last Person to Know This?

KeithAllison

The other day I heard the now “infamous” Tiger Woods actually landed a Japanese endorsement deal…

He's pitching some kind of heat rub now.

I couldn’t find out how much he's actually making from this deal, but I’m sure it’s not worth $35- million.

I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt it.

TracyO

The $35 million price tag was the grand total of all the endorsements he lost put together.

Now that’s a whole lot of money to lose in endorsements as a result of your “sex addiction.”

(His label, not mine).

Ouch.

So, maybe things will to start to look up for him now.

fotopedia.com

After all, the “ladies of the night” came out in 2009…

(Yes, I’m referring to his mistresses).

And correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think he’s won any competitions since then.

Now, I bet you’re wondering where I’m going with this…

What would you say if I told you that Tiger Woods’ real name isn’t Tiger Woods?

Now, if you are or were an avid “Tiger fan”…

Or

If you’re a “golf fanatic,” then this in no news to you. 

cliff1066

Ok, you ready for this?

Tiger Woods’ real name is…

Eldrick Tont Woods, (nickname Tiger).

Now, I know some of you are rolling your eyes and saying, “DUH!”

But seriously, I had NO CLUE.

And I know I’m not the only one who didn’t know this…

(Well, I think I know anyways)…

SarahDeer

Crazy huh?

Did you know about this?

Or am I the last person on Earth to find out about it?

I’d love to hear your thoughts…

Please don’t hesitate to tell me what’s OnUrMind.

Can You Really Take Their Word For It?

A few months ago there were some people on the news…

And they owned an ice cream parlor…

TheCulinaryGeek

And at that ice cream parlor they served ice cream…

Strawberry, vanilla, chocolate,

And everyone’s favorite…

Roast chicken.

No, you didn’t read it wrong…

I did say roast chicken.

DavidRecordon

Yes, roast chicken flavored ice cream.

From some weird place that served weired ice cream.

That’s just weird to me.

And this is the only word I can think of that properly describes the menu.

Hmmm…let me try to remember exactly what it was I saw…

Ok, so they will specially make your desired flavor for you...

If it’s not made already.

Whatever you like.

And I mean whatever you like… (as long as it is an option there of course).

Ravenelle'sphotostream

And there were plenty of options, trust me.

So, here are a few items I remembered from the menu…

Asparagus

fotodawg

Beets

Chicken

and

Cheeseburger

Wow.

I don’t remember exactly how they did it, but they did it.

However, there were some flavors that sparked my interest…

Apple Cinnamon

Blueberry

TheCulinaryGeek

Waffle (yes, waffle flavored)

and

Almond

Now, these flavors are just to name a few.

I remember seeing a “clip” of the ice cream shop and there was a whole bunch of things to choose from.

Probably stuff even crazier than the chicken flavored.

Anyways, one of the news anchors tried the beet flavor and another tried the chicken flavor…

“Mmmm…this is excellent!”

“Oh, this is really good.”

“Mmmmmmmmmm, not bad.”

bongovongophotostream

Yea right!!!

Ok, I like chicken and asparagus and all…

But for ice cream?

Nah.

I don’t know, maybe it’s just me…

And I know this has to be intriguing to some people…and that’s fine.

And I know there is someone reading this blog right now who would LOVE to have a chicken flavored ice cream cone…

But not for me…

NO.

And I’m up to try new things…

basykes

Hey why not…

I’d probably try it in a little sampler cup, you know, like the ones they give you at Baskin Robbins?

But to order a few big scoops of chicken flavored ice cream…

And then eat it on a cone…

And hey, why not add chocolate syrup and sprinkles??

NO.

So ever since then, I noticed that people who try food on television NEVER say

“I don’t like this.”

smlp.co.uk

Politely and simply put.

Honestly, I can’t recall a time when I heard a news person say...

“Oh, now I don’t like that too much.”

And the same goes for talk shows.

Ok now, I know these people are on television and rude remarks may get you…

A)     Fired

         or

B)      Sued

And who wants to “ruin anyone’s reputation” or get fired?

Totally understandable (as far as the rudeness goes).

But really…

Pay attention to this.

Think about it…

Have you ever heard a TV personality say they didn’t like the food they were sampling?

Can it always be “sooooo good?”

The Inspiration of Music

photosteve101

What would we do without music?

Have you ever thought about this?

What if music were never invented?

How would we sing praise?

Dance…

Unwind…

Clean house…

How would we celebrate birthdays?

How different would our drive home be?

Now that we’re starting to brainstorm, do you see how much the world needs music?

The love of music (or at least the use of music) is something we all have in common…

rq?

No matter where we are in the globe…

No matter what language or genre…

Crazy when you think about it huh?

And, with that being said, I realize how much of an inspiration music can be to us in different areas in our lives.

Especially at the gym.

There’s nothing like some good “upbeat sound” to boil the blood.

And by the looks of the other people at the gym, I’d say they have to agree.

Gabrielap93

Practically everyone there listens to music while they work out.

And of course there is a selected few that choose to be “in the zone” quietly.

Well not in complete silence…

A gym is a gym.

I think it’s safe to assume that they all sound pretty much the same.

You know...

Grunting…

Weights banging together…

A few squeaky machines...

The sounds of busy feet…

Not to mention the music on the overhead music system.

Now, I don’t know if there is a “set station” that’s required to play at that dial and only that dial at all times…

ellie

But I heard something on the overhead that surly amused me today J

Now, I’d be surprised if somebody actually chose this particular satellite feed on purpose…

That’s why I was wondering if certain places have a required music selection that the company has to abide by.

Anyways…

As I’m turning on my iPod and tying my hair back, I couldn’t help but to notice…

The song went something like this…

“Not to particular…not to precise…cheeseburger in paradise”

What?!

pinksherbetphotography

Hahahaha!

Really?!

At the gym?!

Talk about motivation!

And boy does he (the artist) get into detail.

He talks about the bun being all warm…

The lettuce…

The tomatoes…

AND the pickles!

How could I forget these lyrics?

I've never heard a song like this...

Ever!

Not even on a fast food commercial…

But, I sure did at the gym!

JeffKubina

I came home and googled the “punchline” and there you go.

The song is called Cheeseburger in Paradise, by Jimmy Buffett.

Check it out.

So, my guess is that no one noticed (except for me, of course)…

But that’s just a guess.

I’m assuming this because the gym is noisy and like I said before, practically everyone has their headphones on.

So there you go.

Music can be inspirational…

Or in this case, it might’ve inspired some to work “that much harder” and want to work that cheeseburger off…

Biofriendly

Or

It might’ve inspired some to blow off their diet and head to the nearest drive-thru.

What do you think?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

Please don’t hesitate to tell me what’s On Ur Mind.
