Time for a new Boner Contest. Our occasional random open opportunity for you to win a prestigious Boner Award. Imagine how proud you’ll be showing your friends, family and co-workers your Boner. Good times.
Don’t forget – in addition to the glorious trophy – your site will also be featured with a fancy 125 x 125 badge in our highly visited sidebar – it’s almost as good as being in the studio for an Oprah taping on New Car for Everyone Day!
Ok, down to business. Past couple of days, in between trying to complete actual constructive work on things that earn money and jotting down some notes on pandemic hamsters, I’ve ventured into that nasty territory I jokingly refer to as “Can’t think of shit to write about” (CTOSTWA for short).
My lovely wife has been getting herself loads of interviews for her online magazine SpotOn LI. This morning she spoke with Joan Osbourne. You may know her from her smash hit “One of Us” in which she wonders “What if God was one of us? Just a slob like one of us…”
Not Joan…
Got me to thinking – there must be something interesting here that I can turn into a fun-filled blog post with stupid pictures of Bonehead on other people’s bodies.
How about a blog about God? Nah – religious discussions rarely invoke much in the way of opinions and comments, people don’t care what your religious views may or may not be.
Hmmm…so, then it hit me – like a shoe upside the head. Questions, people love to ask questions, and often, they love to be asked questions. I find I’m always giving answers, even though I’m usually unsure of the question. Before each interview we try to come up with a few thoughtful queries to pose to the guests. Touching both on topics we know they wish to discuss, and also to try and discover some small fact that perhaps they haven’t shared with anyone in the past.
So here’s the contest – if you could ask any public figure only one question – who would it be and what would you ask? Remember – it must be a public figure, not your long lost 8th grade crush, chances are we wouldn’t know that person, thereby negating us the ability to appreciate your creative flair for the question.
It’s all about creativity here – so give it some thought. A Boner could await you!
As an added bonus (ok, a tragic waste of your time actually) I thought it might be amusing to share a little Bone insight with you. I’m still at a loss of anything creative to write – so I’m actually just filling some space with a little chestnut from long ago. Below are my asinine responses to one of those personality profile notes everyone passes around on social media sites – I think this one was from a cold Friday night last February.

Hi Bonehead. Hard nut to crack! There comes to ind a number of public figures that i would like to ask a number of questions and i don't think they would answer truthfully . Ok of all of them i think Bill Gates must be number one , i would like to ask him what exactly they do with all that info they gather of people with or without their knowledge? Will.
I think I'd like to ask George W Bush "What were you thinking when you made the following decisions?" a. Mission Accomplished b. Heckuva Job Brownie c. 9/11 = Iraq?
The only public figure I know is some flasher in my little town who's always exposing himself in the public library. I'd like to ask where he gets the nerve with so little equipment.
I would like to ask former congressman William Jefferson why he hid the $9,000 in his freezer, instead of under a mattress or in a shoe box in the back of his closet? The freezer is the first place I would have checked, looking for ice cream, waffles, or a frozen pizza.
Will: Excellent – I love conspiracy theory stuff! I’m sure Bill would tell you it’s much more fun to collect data from those unknowing! I bet he knows why I get all that spam mail from Viagra and similar products!
Kate: My guess is his thoughts centered somewhere between lunch and dinner.
NP: Great one! I’ll arrange for my brother to contact you ;)
Lauren: Perhaps he should have been reading Bonehead – I’m fairly certain I’ve shared my tips on where to hide graft – like in the vacuum cleaner or dishwasher. No one besides me looks there in my house.
Oh, you're welcome. No problem. I just stopped by to tell you that I have given you an award. Please stop by my blog when you have a chance a pick it up.
Here is a completely random collection of crap I've thought of, and sometimes took a moment to record in easy to use blog form. Some of the stories that are, and will continue to be included have not had any name changes to protect anyone. Nobody is innocent.

I have to think on this. I don't know if I want to speak to any public figures.
Hi Bonehead.
Hard nut to crack!

Will.

"What were you thinking when you made the following decisions?"

c. 9/11 = Iraq?

Okay, I thought of one:
I would like to ask former congressman William Jefferson why he hid the $9,000 in his freezer, instead of under a mattress or in a shoe box in the back of his closet? The freezer is the first place I would have checked, looking for ice cream, waffles, or a frozen pizza.
