So my new friend, Aman asked me to participate in his brilliant 5 Questions series of videos. Well, I use the word “asked” rather loosely here…more like I BEGGED him to take part after I saw him and Palinode do their spectacular videos on Sunday. Course, when I asked, I thought that the “5 Questons” thing was a weekly series. No, the bastard does this shit EVERY DAY.
The concept is this: Aman asks for questions from Twitterers. He then takes five of those questions (and I use the numeral 5 very loosely here, too) and challenges another blogger to a duel of sorts, where they film themselves answering the questions.
Aman asked me to keep it down to 5 minutes. Um, yeeeeah. I tried.

5 Questions – SecondHand Karl Style from Karl Erikson on Vimeo.
Part of Aman’s BRILLIANT 5 Questions series on the site:
@redvu9395 from southernbelleinsocal.blogspot.com asked: What is the thing that make you the happiest? sadest? sorry if repeat haven’t viewed your questions before. will now
@DowntoEarthMama from dtemama.com asked: You are going into space. What song do you want them to play for your wake up call?
@staceylt from taylorhouseholdsix.blogspot.com asked: Why do teenagers eat a whole bag of chips when, clearly, I am cooking dinner? Related: how many years does it take to learn manners
@LisaUnfiltered from unfilteredinsanity.com asked: Will the Cubs FINALLY win the World Series?
@TheBloggess from thebloggess.com asked: What is the best cocktail in the history of ever?
Bonus Multi-part question answer all of these in one breath:
@redneckmommy from theredneckmommy.com asked: Does Superman wear underwear underneath that Spandex; is the CFL better than the NFL; Why are the Edmonton Oilers the greatest hockey team ever; What’s the fascination with nipple rings; and can you explain to me why beets and parsnips considered edible.
THE SONG, BTW, which I forgot to include in the subtitles is from Stroke 9, “Little Black Backpack.”
Alright – clearly you have many good answers here – but not fantastic!
I loved the answer for the happy/sad and cold shower after the nipples question.
Great job man! It’s a freaking awesome challenge!

@only aman, No, they’re not fantastic. They’re PHENOMENAL answers. Ahem.
Your cocktail sounds a little like Britt’s Brittinis, by the way. Vodka and Crystal Lite.

Bold.. very bold.
I suppose if we were judging by length.. you’d win. However, my bad wi-fi connection made it take like 3 or 4 times longer to watch yours. SO, it was painfully long! OUCH.
And Aman played Emery. I’ve touched their sweat you know.. yeah.
Emery? = WIN

@churchpunkmom, I’m forced to suffer defeat because of YOUR bad net connection? I call foul. Never heard that band before, but I’ll have to check them out.

Very funny. I especially liked the cold shower, and the Hitchhiker reference.
I’m a damn good cook.

@only aman, Heh, I figured someone would respond to that before I got back to my laptop. And it kinda figures it was Angel that answered.

Brilliant call on the nipple rings being so fascinating because of their proximity to …. NIPPLES. Heh heh. SOCOLDSOCOLD (I think this should be a new hashtag for twitter after every sexual innuendo tweet.)
Nicely played. And Hello, we haven’t met! My name’s Amy. So nice to make your acquaintance.
p.s. You are a suck-up. Terrible!

@Amy @ Bitchin’ Wives Club, Nice to meet you, too.
I’d go visit your blog but it’s called the “Bitchin’ Wives Club.” I simply cannot put another gorgeous woman in my feedreader, knowing full well that she’s married. I have enough frustration in my life as it is.
And what makes you think I’m a suck-up?
Reply
Oh, and obviously I have to go with my IBF.
However, @churchpunkmom? You guys are a hot couple. Yum.

@Bubblewench, Sure, the Penguins rock, but she asked about “the greatest hockey team EVER.” So, y’know…

Nice to make your acquaintance. You WISH that @churchpunkmom would leave @onlyaman for you. I know you do. Because I know her and I would totally leave Mr. B for her if she would leave @onlyaman for me. Wait! Did I say that out loud? Er…. I still get to drink with her anyway.
I know the Cubs won’t win. I’m not even a Cubs fan. I just had to see what you and Aman would say.

@Lisa @ Unfiltered Insanity, Cracked me up that he and I both had the same answer to the Cubs question. Wonderful to meet you, as well.
And back off @churchpunkmom. I’m next in line, dammit.

I so love you.
But you do not win because the best cocktail in the history of ever is a snowcone drizzled with chambord and ouzo and after you finish it you realize it has a ten dollar bill stuck to the bottom of it. But Aman gets a minus-one because he mentioned lime-aid in a cocktail and I don’t like lime-aid. You get docked for mentioning lime-aid. This is basic science.

@Jenny, bloggess, Oh. My. God.
I can die now.
I don’t like lime-aid, either, btw. But I do like girly drinks that don’t taste like booze because I’m a wuss, except when it comes to beer.

Well I think I came in too late… But I’ll comment anyway because I fucking can.
When I read Redneck Mommy’s nipple ring question I thought almost exactly the same thing. Only less funny. Therefore, you rock. lol
This was great. I hope you do it again! I like watching you. Maybe it’s just because I’m a stalker though.
