today's Question

Since this infernal link between my blog and the facebook seems to advance glacially, I'll post later when I can, with the purpose of more inclusive and timely participation, should such a thing exist.  Regardless of technical difficulty, I had the opportunity to dine out with the boy and wife today at a hard-core staple of ours and thought, here is an excellent question.  I am a huge fan of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, a hard cover residing within reach of my sleeping quarters, so to that end...What is your favorite quotation?

Today's Question

With respect to STUFF, I too am in the process of purging.  However, being the entrepreneurial type, meaning a cheap hustler, I am trying to hock my wares in an effort to purchase electronic gear in order to get new musical sounds.  All of this really means, that like Megan, I am in the process of getting rid of tons of crap and buying few quality pieces.  When you think on this critically, and hearken back to the messages of the olden and simpler lifestyles, people bought what they needed and rarely what they wanted and that, in its simplicity, seemed to gratifying in its base utility, making little things a big treat.  With that in mind, my telephone is taking a dive. A slow, glitchy dive into the great technical beyond.  So, I am in the market, reluctantly, for a new phone.  What does everyone suggest?  I know that people are insanely attached to their particular brand and model of phone, so tell me what is absolutely crap about yours and what your favorite features are.  Keep in mind that I write, work, and play on machines and would, therefore, like to be able to do so on a new phone, IF my hand is being forced to get a new phone. 

Today's Question

Since there was some sort of bottleneck with respect to the blogger/facebook feed, I am trying again.  Two folks answered the question, but to recapitulate...do you have to much stuff, and if so, do you sell it, toss it, or reuse it?

Today's Question

Hey there friendlies, I have been blogging, composing, typing, tweeting, downsizing, and all other types of technologizing lately, so please excuse the lack of uniformity in my creative output.  So, as it turns out, I believe that I have managed to link my Question of The Day Blog, my OhScuttleworthU twitter feed, and the Pipé Scuttleworth facebook page, yeeeeee-haw.  As a result of all of this Social Networking linking, there are some odd things happening at the site, most of which have been removed.  Nevertheless, from here on out, I will be posting everything to the blog, toward an end that most of you will find rather interesting later on.  If you could reply on the blog, great, otherwise, I think that replying to facebook or twitter ought to get to the blog through the ether, in one form or another (you should still save your work in a text editor before posting though).  You should be able to reply to the blog through facebook and so on and so forth through twitter, but it is all experimental at this point and should be fun.  Anyway, today's question, for July 25th, 2011 is as follows... do you have too much stuff and if the answer is yes, do you sell it, toss it, or re-use it?

Today's Question

Well, yesterday's question seemed to be one of those odd questions that elicits a visceral response from you lot.  Therefore, as a follow up for those that answered in the vein of living until 105 on a budget of $25,000 per year, I'll bump you up to $35,000 for your self-imposed austerity measures.  Yet, you are charged with providing three thoughtful options to reduce your expenditures that other readers may also employ.  In other words, what brilliant ideas can you provide to all of us as to how we might reduce the amount we spend on things.  For example, If I like to drink, say $30,000 worth of wine per year, this budget won't cut the mustard. However, if you can provide an example of how to make the same amount of wine for, say $10,000 per year, that would be a solution.

For Dan and Teymour, would it be possible to take donations from or get interest free loans from you?  Or, alternatively, may we have your stuff when you are dead ?

Today's Question

Thank you for today's question, you god damn stupid people of the world.  Thank you also to the media and their sick fascination with the pornography that is celebrity and its deranged obsession that highlights the stupidest of us and places us on the cultural mantle of filth, in what I can only surmise, is an effort to encourage and instigate the other inconsiderate, insensitive, no-manner-having, fuck heads to do more stupid things to get on the next editions of the news to boost ratings and gain more corporate sponsorship.  So, my choice is license-to-do-bodily-harm, but your choices are either 1) license-to-do-bodily-harm and 2) license-to-kill?  Keep in mind that you, the moral, kind, ethical human beings that you are will have to set aside certain learned behaviors and allow  animalistic, base tendencies to bubble up from within and simply let your animal-auto-pilot fight instincts to do work.  Anyway, I wouldn't want to kill anyone per se, but do bodily harm ala those who received punishment in the film Seven, which seems to me a fate far worse than death.  This treatment is not to be doled lightly, and certainly not to the two-faced, the road-ragers, the bread thieves, or the like.  These licenses are to be used on only the likes of baby murders, and animal beaters, and rapists, and terrorists and other nice people like this.  So, to restate, would you prefer, either a 1) license-to-do-bodily-harm and 2) license-to-kill? 

Today's Question

Wow, brothers and sons and dogs and beers and grilled meats and stuff like that.  Some turds were blowing off Roman Candles and huge bottle rockets on the boulevard until late, from Friday until last night so I'm a bit sleep deprived.  Anyway, summer time and the Fourth of July and grills and indoor grilling and fruit and good stuff are all delicious.  So, a quick, appropriate, and easy start to the week is "what is your favorite summer time dish?" (recipes are encouraged but not necessary)
