Exciting times here at my blog. I have decided that today is the perfect day to introduce two new features that will now be appearing semi-regularly (probably monthly) for everyone to enjoy. These two new features join the already widely popular List Of Celebrities I Have Seen (now conveniently displayed in my sidebar) as the only reoccurring topics from my blog (unless/until I add more).
The first of these new features is called Picture Of The Month (this one will definitely appear once a month…hence the name). As you might have guessed (again based on the name), this feature will allow me the opportunity to share with you a picture that I feel is particularly deserving of special presentation for one reason or another (most likely because it makes me laugh). There will be no pre-determined set of criteria that I will adhere to in choosing said picture, however I will say that in order to obtain this honor the picture must be extremely impressive (or at the very least better than anything else that I’m deciding between for any particular month). I will accept submissions (original, found, photoshopped, doctored, etc. are all good) from any who wish for consideration of this award on a rolling basis, so whenever you get something good feel free to submit (that said, seeing as how it will only be a once a month feature, be patient if your submission doesn’t make it up right away).
And so now without further ado…ladies and gentleman I present to you the January 2006 Picture Of The Month:
The other feature that I am introducing is going to be a mailbag feature called Ask Alex in which (again you probably could guess) I will answer questions submitted to me via email (or friendster messaging). The topics and types of questions are limitless, so feel free to ask away. I will do my best to answer your questions to the best of my knowledge, and/or do the necessary research to find what you seek (and if all else fails, I’ll just make stuff up). This feature will appear whenever I feel there are enough good questions to sustain a post (hopefully monthly, but I suppose this one is more up to you than me). Seeing as how this is the first appearance of the feature I will answer some questions that people have asked me in the past few weeks that weren’t specifically intended for the Ask Alex forum, but are, in my opinion, appropriate nevertheless…here goes.
Q: Do you realize how annoying it is to get an email every time you update your blog? Dan - Los Angeles, CA.
A: No – because I don’t get an email every time I update my blog (this would be unnecessary as I’m well aware of it when it happens), and since I use AOL my computer doesn’t ding every time I get new mail. That said for those of you beginning to get annoyed by the email reminders that friendster sends every time I or anyone else updates their page all you have to do is go under settings and switch the receive email updates answer to no. Problem solved.
Q: Hey sexy my name is Jenny and I’m new in town. I wanted to know if you’d like to meet up for some fun? You can get my number at www.discreetencounters.com. Jenny – Los Angeles, CA.
A: Hi Jenny, welcome to Los Angeles, I hope you’re enjoying things so far. I’d love to meet up for some fun…I have a season pass to Disneyland and that’s always a good time, or I’d be up for some ice skating, lawn bowling, regular bowling, karaoke, or maybe driving into Compton to watch some street clowns crump. My schedule is pretty wide open so let me know what works for you. Forgive me if I don’t call you, but I’m trying to conserve my cell phone minutes this month (my off-peak limit is quickly approaching), but if you read this feel free to message me back and we can set things up.
Q: Is it true that it is impossible to flush a ping-pong ball down the toilet? Matt – Miami, FL.
A: No, this is just a rumor. I had heard it myself at one time, so I bought a pack of ping-pong balls to test it out. I tried 4 different toilet bowls to account for any variables between the force of the flush, and all 4 toilets succeeded in flushing the ball down.
Q: Is it true that if you put a grape in the microwave it will explode? Matt – Miami, FL
A: Yes, this one is true (they are also a pain to clean up).
Okay…there you have it, the first edition of Ask Alex along with the Jan. 2006 Picture Of The Month (I will be posting the picture under my photos as well to allow people to get a better look and so that you may grab it if you wish) . I hope you enjoyed. Remember, February is right around the corner so feel free to get started on submitting pictures and questions, otherwise have a good night.
