Dear Ernie,
I also write a blog, but some days I just don’t feel like thinking of a new post. Any suggestions as to how I can waste my time?
Feeling Lazy in Invermeer
Dear Lazy I.,
I don’t really consider it to be a "waste" of my time, however I really enjoy trivia quizzes. There’s a really good (albeit easy) one over at Mental Floss right now. You listen to sound-bites and match them up with the cartoon character that says them. If you’re looking for something a bit more challenging as well as educational, you can take a vocabulary quiz at Encarta
Dear Ernie,
I have been trying for weeks to come up with a question to ask you, but I have drawn a total blank. Can you think of a question for me to ask you?
Racking My Brain in Paraguay-town
Dear Brain on a Rack,
Technically speaking you did ask me a question. It’s similar to the way people are always starting conversations with the request, "Can I ask you a question?" I like to respond, "Well you just did, and without permission I might add. Therefore, this conversation is over." So there’s a question for you to ask me, "Why do people always ask if they can can ask you a question instead of simply asking the question that they really want to ask in the first place?"

Hi Ernie,
Maybe you could help me out. Say you were a spy, and you loved this other spy(of the opposite sex) but then you were stricken with amnesia for two entire years and brainwashed as an assasin, then suddenly you regained your memory but didn’t remember the assasin years and returned to your old life only to find out your old spy friend had married someone else and you had to work with the two of them but you hated to because you felt all dried up inside….. what would you do?
