Ask Baraka_Guru
Greetings, dear readers.
Some of you have travelled far to reach me, while others live right under my bed! Regardless, I will treat you all as my equals on this lifelong journey of understanding. Ask me those questions that haunt you in your sleep and taunt you during the waking hours, and I promise to impart my...er..."wisdom"—yes....wisdom! :surprised:—unto you. What is it you wish to know? |
How many spaces after a period, Guru?
|
Ah, my good Willravel, a fine question.
The number of spaces after a period may be calculated by means of retroactively counting the number of times the space bar was pressed immediately after the period in question. Be careful, however, as the space bar needn't have been pressed immediately following the time period the period was pressed. Failing that, one can measure the spaces by using the cursor keys! (Use both left and right as corrective measures for double-checking, if need be.) Fantastic, technology today, no? |
What kind of hair care product / pant tightness combination do I need to use to attract a mate who has good credit?
Why did my favorite author, Stephen King, self-title himself as the literary equivalent of fast food? What's the quickest trick to sounding authoritative in an adult conversation? Does it involve education? |
when will pigs fly oh Master

Can I come out from under your bed now?
Is it better to burn out, or to fade away? My, my, hey, hey. |
Crompsie....my. main. man. ...what's up?

However, to summarize, you want to ensure that your hair care product, when dried, has about the same consistency and hardness as your tightpants. The one exception is when wearing wonderpants, in which case always ensure you match the fragrances of each. Quote:

Either way, sounding authoritative in an adult conversation is a snap. I recommend, from now on, the "authoritative conversationalist sandwich": Quote:

Tell me, good Baraka_Guru, where is the light at the end of this tunnel?

I am uneducated. Magpie suggested that I should go on that show, the 5th Grader one with Colin Mochrie instead of Jeff Foxworthy. When she puts it on the television I know most of the answers and have a habit of making snide comments about people who don't know things like how many syllables are in the word displayed. I contend that they wouldn't let me through the doors -- they need people with degrees and such, to make fools of. A high school dropout/aspiring musician isn't expected to be smart, which would mean I'd have to win to be interesting, and the odds are against that despite my firm grasp of grade school fundamentals.
I am terrible with geography. I suppose I should ask another question. Very well. What's the best way to remove blood stains from a white t-shirt? A purely academic question, you understand. |

Thank you for your insight, Martian. I always say, insight is better than incite.

Your advice is invaluable, Mr. Guru. Or would be if I needed to remove bloodstains from a white t-shirt, which of course I don't.
Follow-up question: What's the best way to remove a body from an apartment building during daylight hours? Or failing that, how does one hide a body from one's SO in a small one bedroom apartment, until such time as it may be removed safely? Again, purely hypothetical. |
Here's a hard one:

might i enquire oh wise one, how it came to pass, that in such a vast panorama of consonants and vowels there would be not a mate to rhyme, ironically, with poetry?

No, brave -deathboy-, we mustn't think of this loathsome word. It is the right of every poet who exists, and had been the right of each who has lived, to rhyme with a universe of words...save one. And so we must let it be. And so it is. We may substitute, as so many crafty poets do, with poesie, so we may rhyme it with posie, but poetry must be kept safe. Poetry makes use of rhyme, but poetry may not be made a rhyme. |

I am considerably wary to offer any query here for fear I end up in the void I have just arisen from, but I need to know:
Was there not a previous session of "Ask the Baraka" in existence already, or am I imposing your grand knowledge unto a different personality altogether? This just seems too familiar to have spawned from your creative brain jelly yesterday. |
