Oops, forgot it was Wednesday again. Anyway: What was your wedding song? If you had it to do over, would you use a different song? And if you were planning your wedding to take place now, what song would you use (stipulate that you must choose a different song than the one you actually used)?

Of the teevee shows you watch these days, how many of them do you actually watch on the teevee in their actual timeslot on whatever network carries them, as opposed to DVRing or Hulu-ing or On Demanding or downloading? UPDATE: Speaking of teevee…as this post went live, the first Presidential debate was starting up. If you’re looking for alternate viewing, go to the next post down (or just scroll to it, if you’re on the main page) and watch me getting hit with pies, if you haven’t watched the latest one yet. It’s good! Trust me! At least it’s gottaDown the rabbit hole….

(Before the question: I have not forgotten about the outstanding Ask Me Anything! queries! I swear I’ll get to them. I’m behind on posts I want to write, but I’m farther behind on other stuff. I’ll have that shield down, you’ve got to give me more time!) OK, the question: What is your favorite ‘polite’ (i.e., you can say it in front of your mom without fear of getting your mouth washed out with soap) expletive? For SF readers, what’s your favorite fake expletive or curse? Share This PostDown the rabbit hole….
Someone asked me this for Ask Me Anything, and it struck me as a good question, so: what’s your favorite vegetarian dish or recipe? (I like to use this regular posting feature as a means of picking the brains of my brilliant readers!) Share This PostDown the rabbit hole….
If the government came to you and said “We will spend whatever amount of money it takes to do the one thing that you think will improve life in your municipality the most”, what one thing would you pick? Share This PostDown the rabbit hole….
Antique stores: “ZOMG, look at all the wonderful treasures of yesteryear!” or “ZOMG, look at all the old crap!”? Extra credit: For those in either camp, what’s the best thing you’ve ever acquired at an antique store? Regular readers will know that I’m in Camp One, but I know a lot of folks who are in Camp Two.

So, go ahead and kvetch about the Olympics a bit. What are your favorite events? What events do you just not get? What events would you include or exclude? Granting that providing tape-delayed coverage is a necessary evil given the distances in time zones, what could NBC be doing better with its coverage? How weird is it watching Olympics without Jim McKay on the teevee? Do professional athletes in sports like basketball make for better, or lesser, competition? How big a problem IS doping, and what’s the future of the very notion of ‘performance-enhancing’ medicine? Share This PostDown the rabbit hole….
Huh! It’s August, which means that it’s once again time for the twice-yearly tradition here, in which I open up the floor to anyone with a question. Challenging questions, deep questions, silly questions, questions about life or the universe or anything…all questions are welcome. So here it is: Ask Me Anything! August 2012!!! (This will be the ‘official’ post for posing questions, so go ahead and drop ’em in comments. I always try to keep Ask Me Anything! queries in one place, so as to avoid having any drop through the cracks. I’ll post a few reminders, as always, overDown the rabbit hole….
