Meet the Cast Monday #46: The Boy from Texas (Part 1)

Ya'll are crazy.   

Yep, blog readers.  I mean you.

Crazy and awesome.  On Friday, I allowed questions for The Boy from Texas to be posted.    Well....we got some questions.  Over 75, to be exact.  It was insanity.  And hilarious.  The funniest questions award goes to Uncle Black Belt, whose list included things like "When would be a good time for me to interview your father, mother and priest?" and "In 50 words or less, what does don't touch my niece mean to you?" and "Do you own a van?"  I almost died laughing.

In order not to run the poor guy completely off, I told him that we'd just pick out a handful or so for him to answer now.  Maybe next week (after he has overcome the trauma of this little experience), he'll answer a few more, and we'll go on until they are done.  I will throw ya'll a bone, however, and let you see a picture of him.  Geez, I've gone soft.

With that, here is the first set of answers ala The Boy from Texas!  (My thoughts are in orange.)

1.  (From Loud Oklahoma Girl)  When and how did you and Tiff meet? 

Answer:  We met at the beginning of the OSU football season last year.  My good friend took me to Oklahoma to look at show steers and headed to Oklahoma City the night before the football game.  While we were there, we met Tiff and the girls for dinner that night and the game the next day.  The real reason why we went to Oklahoma was for my friend and Tiff's friend to go on a somewhat blind date.  We all had a great time and that's where Tiff and I met.  {And the Pokes won 84-0.  Important details, people.  Important details.  There was also some dancing involved, where I confirmed this dude was a good two-stepper.  He passed that test.  And he liked the Penny.  Also a critical detail.}

The football game where we met.....TBFT is in the black.

2.  (From Illinois Transplant)  Name something on your bucket list that you have yet to do.

Answer:  Travel overseas.   {I feel as though I should help him with this one.  I'll take one for the team.}

3.  (From Illinois Transplant)  What advice would you look back and give yourself at 18, 21 and 25?  {I absolutely love this question!!  Good work, friend!}

Answer:  At 18, I would have told myself to be more patient and have a more mild temper.  At 21, I would have told myself to be even more ambitious.  At 25, I would have told myself to enjoy the things that are around me even more because time is going by so fast.

4.  (From my mom)  What is your favorite childhood memory?

Answer:  Being able to remember times with my great grandfather and great grandmother.  {Family is important to him....someone mark that in the plus column, please!}

5.  (From Gut Girl, who is my former paralegal)  If you only had $25 in your pocket and it was Tiff's birthday, how you would spend the money to give her a day she would always remember?

Answer:  I would put $25 of gas in the car and we would go somewhere together where we had never been before.  It wouldn't matter what we did so long as we got to do something together.  {I would probably have voted for $15 of gas and the other $10 in ice cream, but beyond that, I kinda love this answer.}

6.  (From Uncle Black Belt)  What is the first thing you noticed about my niece?

Answer:  The first thing  noticed was that she was that she could talk anybody's leg off  {I'm not sure I like where this is headed....}, but that every word meant something.  The things she were saying were intelligent and kind and honest.  {Good save.}

7.  (From Flintstone) What is your full name, address, phone number, social security number, and any aliases you might go by????  

Answer:  {His attorney advises him to plead the Fifth.}
