The photo above has absolutely nothing to do with this post. I just like it. Sprinkles! Who doesn’t like sprinkles? Or do some of you call them jimmies? Isn’t jimmy another word for condom? No, that’s a jimmy hat. Okay, I’m asking far too many questions so early into this post. Speaking of questions…
It’s that time again when I answer reader mail. Yay for you! I’ve had to scrounge the bottom of the email barrel for this round of Q&A though, because quite frankly, it’s been a sloooow month. What have you guys been doing?
Since I was lacking in the question department I went ahead and posted a call for “Questions Please” on Craig’s List.
Oh yes I did.
Here’s what some of my newest friends asked..
What makes you think anybody would be interested in your dumb blog? You silly cow.
Thanks for the question Mom. I haven’t heard from you in awhile. Is everything okay? Did the operation go as planned? I hope they put your shriveled little legs in a jar filled with formaldehyde after the amputation. I know how you’ve always loved to admire yourself…
Okay, that wasn’t my Mom. It was some cranky dude named Fitch. Who calls themselves Fitch anyway? And Mom, you have GREAT legs.
What can we look forward to from Brilliant Sulk in 2010?
Well I just landed a spread in Playboy. Kidding. Ew. That would so not happen. Well I just landed a book deal. Kidding. That could happen. Couldn’t it? Please tell me it could. Oh gosh please humor me.
But really, LOTS of super exciting things for Brilliant Sulk in 2010. Stay tuned…
Have you ever stolen anything?
Well, the other day I received a copy of The New Yorker by accident. I didn’t return it to my neighbor, a Miss Elle Hannigan who lives 18 3/4 blocks away. Too bad for her. I was busy, okay?
Watching Hoarders, my new favorite show. So I guess that’s sort of stealing. I’ve left the magazine on my coffee table so visitors will think I can read.
You cook professionally so I’m curious what you feed your family?
My cats eat a balanced diet of Pop Rocks and Pop Tarts. Mango the dog just eats the lead paint off of our 110 year old walls. My husband eats leftover crap in the fridge when he gets home from his super important job doing something that I still don’t understand. My kids eat anything as long as the cuisine begins with an “I”. Indian, Italian, Indonesian, Iranian, Icelandic, Irish, Isle of Man. Pretty simple stuff, though I’ve had quite a difficult time locating a live Puffin.
Do you want more kids?
NO. I DO NOT.
If you could be any famous person who would you be?
That’s a tough one. How about George Clooney? Oooh, no. That would mean I would be a dude, then have to fornicate with a lady. I’m not fond of the ladies in “that way” if you know what I mean. But if you go “that way” good for you! Awesome.
But in all seriousness I’d have to say Suri Cruise because…well do I really need a reason? Hello, I’m Suri Cruise.There’s bound to be a book in there somewhere. All sorts of crazy going on. And I would love to write a book. Have I mentioned that?
Partridge Family or Brady Bunch?
Addams Family.
Okay. Q&A time over. Thank you all for your questions. Until next time…

Addams Family.
Great answer!!
The picture? I thought they were pills… as in medication… LOL.
submom´s last blog ..“Do you realize the people back here are getting cookies?!”
I love the Addams family. I hope when my kids are old enough they can embrace the sheer brilliance it. I can still sit and watch to this day…
And after I posted that photo I thought they looked like pills too. Wish I had some.
Aren’t pop rocks and pop tarts in the same food group which would make it a challenge to BALANCE them? I mean, not an insurmountable challenge, but something to consider.
They both contain LOTS of sugar. That’s balanced right?
My cats don’t seem to complain. They’re too busy running around, crashing into walls and stuff.
YES! I am the first one commenting on this post. Now I can check it off of my New Year resolution list.
submom´s last blog ..“Do you realize the people back here are getting cookies?!”
Yay for you! Yay for me!
I must thank that DAmnTexasHolly for directing me here. This was just the read that I needed tonight.
I like the picture, too. There’s nothing wrong with a random picture for a post.
Ah, thanks for popping by!
I like random.
Isle of Man chickens are brilliant – three legs and very easy to catch because they run round in circles ……
Oh that’s just silly. Everyone knows Isle of Man chickens have 3 1/2 legs…
What would you write your book about? There’s places you can publish a single book on the internet. I wrote three.
I make sure the ones with my face on the back are turned upside down on my coffee table.
John´s last blog ..Research is hard work
Really? You wrote three? Wow, I must hear more…
Yes, I have an idea for a book which would include photos. Some silly. Some not.
And I would totally keep my book on my coffee table too.
Yah boo to Fitch.
Fran´s last blog ..Evidence that I too can write about Art. Just not in an intellectual way …
Excellent response Fran. Thank you.
Always count on craigslist…the job I’m goingtohaveagain was posted there…true story.
Congrats on the job!
I love Craig’s List. I’ve founds cars, apartments, crap I did not need, one night stands.
Oh I’m kidding about the cars.
I want to write a book too. So far I only need a title, a plot and some characters. Then I’ll be on my way.
You should definitely write one, though! Yours would be way funnier.
I think you’re off to a good start Lesley…
I have the Puffins over here.
Ry Sal´s last blog ..This is Food, Take it Seriously.
I WILL BR RIGHT OVER.
Where do I submit my questions? I didn’t even know you did this.
Do your kids also eat Incan? Just wondering.
Oh Incan! Excellent, thanks for reminding me. I have a lovely recipe for Incan beans and dirt I’ve been meaning to try.
And questions are ALWAYS welcomed here. My email can be found in the “About Me” section of this highly confusing blog.
You know, Inedible is also an I food. Indigestible. Ignited. Indelible. Imaginary.
Ugh. Need caffeine.
Elly Lou´s last blog ..Fingernail Sweat
Something tells me you have “Ignited” food before.
I’m correct aren’t I?
Gosh, you seem so sure and confident of so many things.. I’m just wondering why so ambiguous about whether or not you want to have any more kids?
And… I’ve just noticed your requirements for getting on your blogroll. Is it ok if I send 40 almost organic chicken feet instead of 40 euros? ALso, I’d like to substitute with Canadian Beer. We have lots of that here. If it helps, I could also send some moosemeat (if you’re interested) and all the snow you want. It might not arrive as packaged though. (Keep that in mind)
fracas´s last blog ..Hey Lady… You Stink!
Oh Fracas. You can totally get on my blogroll with moosemeat, Canadian beer and snow.
I can’t wait…
Nice pick on Suri…but do you think her dog gets to eat lead paint? Newfangled star dogs…
I doubt Suri’s alien parents would even allow her to have a dog.
And if they did that dog would most certainly be sporting high heels and walking around without a coat in the middle of winter.
Absolutely Addams Family!
Mama Zen´s last blog ..May I Take Your Order?
I knew you’d be an Addams Family girl.
Totally thought they were pills! I called them Jimmies, too.
Why would you want to be Suri? She is 3 and her parents dress her in high heels to go to the park. That would suck. A lot.
lz´s last blog ..Mexican Meatball Soup
Jimmies? That sounds so funny to me!
Do you call soda “pop” as well? What else, what else?
Adams Family, good choice. And yeah Suri Cruise what kind of stroke of fucked up luck must that be?
amy´s last blog ..The Monolith
Maybe I’ll send the complete DVD collection of The Addams family to Suri.
I love your Q & A’s!
And your answers are awesome and well thought.
Suri Cruise… Good answer!
And I am trying to snap my fingers to the tune of the Addams Family theme song as I write this comment.
I’m back and I am excited to see what you have in store for 2010.
Sophia’s Mom´s last blog ..UPrinting Giveaway: Win 250 Business Cards!
Glad you’re back! I’m snapping too…
Boy did I miss reading your blog during my little respite.
So what does one in Iceland eat anyway? As for your choice of families, I’m right there with you. Addams family all the way.
Zen Mom´s last blog ..The Year of Good Intentions
You’re back too! Excellent.
Puffins. Icelanders (is that a word?) eat Puffins and fish soaked in lye. You know, just regular stuff.
I don’t understand what my husband does either. But, I quit asking after I realized that a mattress stuffed with money is actually very comfortable.
I like the Adams Family too. Much better than the Meunsters – they were just too cheesy (being a professional cook you’ll appreciate my joke)
Lagunatic´s last blog ..THANK YOU!!!!
Ha ha. Good joke!
Your mattress is stuffed with money?
Um, what is your address again?
Me again. Just letting you know, I nominated you today for the 2010 Weblog awards in the Humor category. (http://2010bloggies.com) If you would only have a few more kids, I could nominate you for Mother Of The Year. But in the meantime this is the best I could do.
Now Lesley, really? What HAVE you been drinking today? Or smoking…
According to your link the 2010 Bloggies is REALLY “My online source for what’s queer and Asian.”
I am neither queer nor Asian (but would be totally cool with that if that’s how things turned out)
You are SILLY!
I totally thought they were pills too….and then I was going to propose.
A Vapid Blonde´s last blog ..GIGGITY!!!!
I’m feeling a lot like the Connor Family lately. Ya know…the show Rosanne Bar had?
Nancy@ifevolution´s last blog ..I’m Not Advocating Illegal Things
Uh oh. Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing…
I gave you a little gift over at my blog…because you are special.
A Vapid Blonde´s last blog ..I Love Your Blog…the Chick Edition.
I’m special in a good way? Or a bad way? Guess I’m going to head over and find out. Thanks!
I want to be Shiloh Pitt. That way I can figure out what the hell is taking place at that house.(And rip Brad’s half beard off violently) US and People don’t have the kind of in-depth coverage I need. Can you imagine the celebrity offspring reality show?
kelly´s last blog ..The Great Interview Experiment- Part 2
Ooh Shiloh’s a good one!
I would just love to get the scoop on “Angie” though. Does she eat? Does she poop? Do she and Brad fight about stuff that I fight about with my husband, like “Did YOU forget to put the top back on the peanut butter again? Douche.”
Why is nobody ever interested enough to ask me a few searching questions?
You seem to be a reasonably well-balanced, sensible and housewifely person, with a family who appreciate your many good qualities and delights in delicious home cooked meals.
I really don’t understand why anybody would want to be rude to you. Or was that you being rude to them? I am a little slow and have been told that I lack a sense of humour, whatever that may be.
Friko, I’ve found that if you want questions from readers you must bribe them. With alcohol or kittens. Works every time. And me, rude? NEVER. A bit abrasive perhaps…
P.S. Those aren’t pills, but I wish they were.
PS, are those sweeties or pills?
“My cats eat a balanced diet of Pop Rocks and Pop Tarts.” Quote of the century. And furthermore, your kids sounds awesome if their taste in food is actually that sophisticated. My dad is always harassing me and telling me that my palate is just not sophisticated. Jarred cheese is sophisticated. What the hell does he know?
Thank you. Can you shop that quote around to the people who make those tacky inspirational posters? I could use a few extra bucks because we are totally out of Pop Rocks.
I have been known to eat a couple of jars of cheese in my life too. My kids won’t touch it. They are SO annoying.
