Today’s Chat: Global Warming — Are We Screwed?

Frankie Thomas — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 06:33:12 +0000

Sorry for the downer chat topic today, guys, but surely I can’t be the only one who thinks about this obsessively. Even if we woke up tomorrow in Opposite Land wherein the government gave a shit about climate change, don’t you think it’s already too late?

Today’s Chat: Excited for Christmas?

Frankie Thomas — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 05:58:52 +0000

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! On a scale of one to ten, with one being “horrified” and ten being “ecstatic,” how do you feel about that?

Today’s Chat: What is the deal with violent sports?

I just transcribed an interview with a former Ultimate Fighting Champion, and with all due respect to Ultimate Fighting fans, are you insane? What is the appeal? How is this sport even allowed? Do you not realize that it’s very dangerous?!

Today’s Chat: Can you flirt?

Frankie Thomas — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 06:20:20 +0000

Today, my friend bemoaned her inability to flirt. I told her I didn’t flirt well either, but she assured me that I do — that she’s seen it with her own eyes. Weird! Can you flirt? Are you aware you’re doing it? Can you tell when others are doing it?

Today’s Chat: What’s your tolerance for movie gore?

Frankie Thomas — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 05:38:03 +0000

I’m a total wimp when it comes to these things, but I’ll bet I’m not the only one here who could not be PAID to sit through “127 Hours.”

Today’s Chat: Do you donate to charity?

Frankie Thomas — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 05:08:27 +0000

Up until today, I could (and did) smugly answer in the affirmative: guys, I sponsored a little girl in Colombia! But now the girl and her family have gone missing, and I’m faced with a moral dilemma: do I sponsor a new child, even though my heart’s no longer in it, or do I save my monthly $22 and just accept the fact that I’m a terrible person? What would you do?

Today’s Chat: Will Sarah Palin run for president?

Frankie Thomas — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 04:01:09 +0000

The election is over, and now it’s official: the Tea Party is not a chimera. If Sarah Palin wanted to take advantage of its power, she totally could. But do you think she will?

Today’s Chat: Has Obama actually done a bad job?

Frankie Thomas — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 04:37:59 +0000

Some people have ranted to me about what a terrible job he’s doing, and it is true that everything just kind of seems to suck right now, but is this Obama’s fault? Is there something that he should have done differently, or that he could be doing better now? This is a sincere question; I just don’t know.

Today’s Chat: What was your favorite election moment this year?

Frankie Thomas — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 04:51:13 +0000

Christine O’Donnell was a superstar, Sharron Angle a credit to her race; heads were stomped, and Aqua Buddha was worshiped. It’s so hard to pick a favorite memory, but if I had to pick one, I guess it would be the New York governors’ debate. How will I ever be able to choose from among so many fine, estimable candidates on Tuesday?

Today’s Chat: Do you like Halloween?

Frankie Thomas — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 04:42:09 +0000

I kind of hate it. All that overwhelming pressure to be original, combined with the fear of standing out too much, with the result that you always err on the wrong side and end up feeling invisible — it’s middle school all over again!
