Given the Choice, I'd Be an Artichoke.

As you might have noticed, I'm pretty unreliable when it comes posting blogs. Things have been hectic, and the details are boring, so I'll spare you the minutia.

I have a couple of stories I'm working on, but they aren't ready yet. I'm hoping to have them up soon, but I won't give a specific timeframe because I will undoubtedly miss it.

How about some random conversation starters, instead?

• What are your thoughts on the Mooninite bomb scare this week in Boston, and the subsequent press conference held by the alleged terrorists/marketing team? Follow up question: How do you feel about haircuts of the 70s? (If you have no idea what I am taking about, go here for the story, and here for the press conference.)

• Have the writers of ABC's LOST finally alienated all potential viewers with their vague and convoluted storylines (not to mention upcoming appearances by Bai Ling), or do you still hold out hope that the new episodes will finally answer some important questions and rationally explain the deadly attacks by vicious polar bears and black smoke (Assuming that is even possible)? Also, how do you think it rates against its new NBC counterpart, Heroes?

• My two-year old daughter has learned to distinguish between males and females, but now when I ask her what a person's gender is, she says "a broccoli" and laughs. If you could become any vegetable, which one would you choose?
  

• And finally, in the spirit of Black History Month, explain why Mr. T would win a fight with Chuck Norris.

Please expand on any or all of the prompts listed. I am eagerly anticipating your opinions!
