What's that clunking noise coming from the back of my truck when I make a turn?

(Tugs forelock and mutters "aww, geeze, dude, yer embrassing me...")

I'll tell ya how to stump me though; anything at all to do with music is a fair bet, since I'm deaf. I will confess to a fairly broad range of miscellaneous and useless knowledge, though. I'm a bear at Trivial Pursuit, which nobody I know will play with me any more. None of this is of any real USE though.

I've spent my whole life reading; where others listen to radio and/or watch TV, I read. I read everything. I don't go anywhere at all without a book to read. When I'm out shooting I have a book with me, sheesh. I READ BETWEEN EXPOSURES. Truth! And I'm just plain interested in EVERYTHING, and I retain well, so I'm sort of one of those easy-to-despise know-it-alls.

If you're anything like me, it's the little finger of the right hand, which I use as a marginally-more-polite version of the middle finger salute.

I beg to differ. You are much too humble and too objective to be considered "easy-to-despise".

Your quest for knowledge is refreshing and infectious.

Bear_music, suppose an object that magically could not be stopped collided with another object that magically could not move. What would happen?

It haunts me everyday!!!!

The unmovable object would get pregnant.

There's no such thing an irresistible fource OR an immoveable object in our universe. But, for the sake of argument, IF you had a universe in which there was such a thing as an irresistible force, then by definition there could be no immoveable objects in that universe. And vice versa, of course.

As for "magic", it makes its own rules eh?

Here is a good one. Who produced the Velvet Underground Album which two of the songs were Elenore Rigby and Herion. Hint the man is dead now and was a artist. I think New York was his home (not sure). Does Soup come to mind?

Personally, I welcome and highly regard ANYONE's feedback who can quote a passage with the word "vapidity" in it and coherently comment on it! I'm honored and humbled every time you leave a comment on an image of mine. I believe that you have an insight into the world's beauty that is frequently lost on the "hearing" world (especially given that my mother is deaf and I have several friends from Gallaudet as well - not that that makes me any expert at all, it just makes me appreciate their opinions and insight that much more).

Well said... I have found out though that he seems to comment on photos he finds interesting in some way. My shots unfortunately are not of the caliber that will allow for an unsolicited bear_music critique. BUT, he did respond to a PM I sent and I was finally able to get some very valuable bear_music input. :-)

since you are such a great trivial pursuit player, Bear, do you know, (without going to google or a dictionary) where the word trivia comes from and why it means what it means?

Wouldn't the unstoppable object just bounce off? You didn't say it had to keep moving in the same direction, after all. But, then again, it's magic, so who knows?

I like the unanswerable question from The Simpsons, which I will paraphrase as 'Can God, who is almighty, make a mass so large that even He cannot move it?' The one on the Simpsons involved burritos and microwaves, and was much funnier.

Dear bear_music,

I am a new homeowner. Since moving into my house, two things have happened.

1. A number of lights have mysteriously stopped working. They are in various locations of the house, none of which are connected by walls. We are on a fuse system but replacing the fuses does not fix the problem. The light bulbs are not blown out. What is wrong with my lights?

2. Last night, while I was away, the dishwasher "exploded," shooting water out onto the kitchen floor which then leaked into the basement. Before it did this, it made a sound that I am told might remind one of an earthquake. Even after shutting the dishwasher off, the water continued to spray out until the water main was shut off. What is wrong with my dishwasher?

Signed,
Poor owner of house crap
