Q: If a nuclear war happened at Florida State (in the middle of the woods, on a mime), would anyone care?
A: Well, Mugs, that depends…would my sister-in-law still be there? If so, then yes, I and the rest of her family would care. If she’d already graduated and left, then no. Probably [...]

Ask Dan’s Last Stand
Friday, February 2, 2007
Alrighty…two weeks in a row and the ol’ question pool is dry as a bone. This is Ask Dan’s last chance before I take it out back and shoot it…

Q: …
A: …

You know, I realized just now that posting a slug for the next Ask Dan is ridiculous. So here’s what I’m gonna do:

2. I’ll still answer my [...]

Q: A multi-faceted question for a multi-faceted guy.
If you found yourself alone on the Serengeti with nothing but a pocketwatch[sic] and a barometer, how would each of the following allow you to survive:
a) Sucking the lifemilk[sic] from a wounded Gnu?
b) Playing hide and seek with an angry lion?

A: Welcome [...]

Q: How does percocet [sic] work? And why does it make you feel so good?
A: Alright Val, I’m answering your question - and Jake, I know you work for “big pharma” but I’m gonna do my best to answer this correctly - so lay off if I make some minor gaffes
Percocet is a [...]
