Can’t Stop the One Post a Day Challenge

And it continues…

QUESTION:  Cthulhu

ANSWER:  Cthuwhatwho?

QUESTION:  Cthulhu.  A mythical monster, akin to bigfoot, but it is large and has a squiddy tentacle face.

ANSWER:  Why would a cthulhu want to stop me from posting once a day?

QUESTION:  Because you dared to post about them.  You’re doing it right now.  They want to keep their existence a secret.

ANSWER:  Then I’ll stop posting about them.  And if that doesn’t satisfy them, then I will zap them with my eyeball lasers.

QUESTION:  You have eyeball lasers?

ANSWER:  Doesn’t everybody?

QUESTION:  Narwhals.

ANSWER:  Nar-whats?

QUESTION:  Narwhals.  Whales with large pointy tusks on their heads.

ANSWER:  What, like a unicorn whale?  Please, let’s try to keep this to the realm of possibility.

QUESTION:  They exist!

ANSWER:  Seriously?  We can’t have horned horses but they have horned whales?

QUESTION:  I know.  Hardly seems fair.  But you’re in a boat, trying to post on your blog, and one of them is coming at you with its mighty tusk, ready to poke a hole through the side of your ship.

ANSWER:  Two words.  Giant cork.

QUESTION:  Excuse me?

ANSWER:  With expert precision, I toss a giant cork onto the narwhal’s mighty tusk, rendering it useless.

QUESTION:  Why do you carry a giant cork around with you?

ANSWER:  Doesn’t everybody?

QUESTION:  Lochness monster.

ANSWER:  I’m not in Scotland.

QUESTION:  Ninjas kidnap you and transport you to Scotland.

ANSWER:  Damn it.  Your scenarios are impeccable.  Still, Nessie is a champion of free speech.  She’s cool.  She won’t try to stop the blog.

QUESTION:  She’s a jerk in this scenario.

ANSWER:  That’s sad.  But really, all I have to do is try to take a picture of her and she’ll swim away, leaving me with but a mere blurry image on my camera.

QUESTION:  You’ve rejected Katy Perry and Katee Sackhoff in the name of your one post a day challenge.  What if we throw Charlize Theron into the mix?

ANSWER:  Damn you, Hypothetical Questioner.

QUESTION:  Charlize Q. Battler has a nice ring to it.

ANSWER:  It does, but I refuse to disappoint my 3.5 regular readers.  No dice!

The Siberian Yeti Now in Control

Hello 3.5 Bookshelf Battle Readers.

The Siberian Yeti here.  I have returned to Bookshelf Battle HQ, made my way past Bookshelf Battle Dog, and have subdued legendary blogger, martial artist, international ladies’ man and magical bookshelf owner, the one and only Mr. Bookshelf Q. Battler.

Top Secret Surveillance Footage of the Siberian Yeti Village Revealed!

No longer will he fill the minds of the masses with his spectacularly awesome ideas.  As the Mayor of the Siberian Yeti Village, I must keep people from thinking big ideas, lest they start thinking ludicrous thoughts, like three toilet paper squares per week are not enough.

Just look at the trash ideas this alleged book blogger is trying to sell you on:

A Book Review of Lock-In by John Scalzi – Robots and viruses, mystery and deception, too much stimulation for your pitiful American minds!  We Siberian Yetis prefer to watch mold grow on rocks.  That is all the excitement we can stand.

An Ask the Alien Column – Interactivity?  Blech!  Patooie, I say!  Why do you want to promote your book, blog, or writing project through the assistance of a rude and snarky alien when you could engage in the ancient Siberian Yeti art of snowball juggling?

These Silly “Can’t Stop the One Post a Day Challenge” Columns – Bookshelf Q. Battler claims he can defeat Highlanders, Chuck Norris, and zombies all in the name of bringing a daily dose of absurd nonsense to his 3.5 readers?  Preposterous!

Frank Underwood Reviews Green Eggs and Ham, House of Cards Parody – Such tomfoolery!  We Siberian Yetis have been watching House of Cards on our Commodore 64 at a rate of one frame per three days and we are totally rooting for the Russian President to crush Underwood like the capitalist pig that he is!

Defense of Shatner – How can Bookshelf Q. Battler defend a man who is the typical spoiled, rich Hollywood actor, complete with a toupee on his head that looks like a tribble?

Yes, I, the Siberian Yeti, am now in control of the Bookshelf Battle and from now on, there will be no interesting ideas on this blog whatsoever!  Get used to it, pitiful 3.5 readers!

No Walking Dead Wrap-Up Tonight

Sadly, I must inform my 3.5 readers there will be no Walking Dead Wrap-Up tonight.  The Yeti has once again infiltrated my high tech Bookshelf Battle compound and I must now square off against him in a best 2 out of 3 roundhouse kick competition.

I blame Bookshelf Battle Dog.  He’s a lousy security chief.  Then again, I get what I pay for.
