April 22nd, 2011 — Did You Know?, Gypsy Magnolia, Shout Outs, Stepdad Ron
Angels! As part of my work with the Encyclopedia Show – Austin that someday I hope pays me a living wage, I get the loveliest job of getting to sit down and interview my favorite Encyclo-friends about their lives with some boring questions from the Institute for Human Knowledge and Hygiene plus some juicy good ones from the brain under my goddess crown of golden spirals. We should all know those who share I life stage, and honor them. Also, if there’s anything YOU want to know, just comment and I’ll answer for Stepdad Ron!
TWENTY QUESTIONS WITH GYPSY MAGNOLIA: STEPDAD RON
(NOTE: Angels, there was a little controversy when I wanted to interview Stepdad Ron because, understandably there was a clash of masculine son/stepfather energy. I felt like a regular Katie Couric in a more ethnic tunic!)

Hello Internet Viewers,
Look at this hilarious picture my friend Craig sent me. A wife remote! If you know of a world where this actually exists, SIGN ME UP!!
But in my dream world, I’d probably change a few of the buttons:
- I’d get rid of the “Beer” button, since I don’t drink. I’d probably substitute a “Root Beer Float” botton, since I drink 6 or 7 of those a day.
- I’d add a “Let me win at Scabble” button. Even though I usually win our Scrabble games anyway, whenever I do lose, it really steams me.
- I’d probably get rid of the “Boobs” adjuster, since Linda’s got some pretty severe lower back problems. No point in making that worse. I drive to the chiropractor too much as it is.
- Do you think hitting the “Off” button kills the wife?! I’d probably get rid of that button so I wouldn’t accidently hit it.
- I’d make the whole remote a different color (I like orange) so I’d be able to clearly tell it apart from the real TV remote. I’d be really mad if I missed House because I was using the wrong remote (not to mention to risk of possibly killing Linda with the “Off” button).
That’s all for now.
Sincerely,
Ron

Hello Internet,
Stepdad Ron here. I’m sorry I haven’t posted to this world wide web page lately. I thought I had been. But as it turns out, saving Microsoft Works documents as “website posting 13″ does not automatically post it to the internet.
But Michael came over to the house the other night, and showed me how to do it the right way. I couldn’t remember my password – Boy did I “look the fool!” Just in case I forget again, I’ll put my new logon identification in this post. My username is JACKANDROSEFOREVER, and my password is HEARTWILLGOON.
