What a Friend We Have in Cheeses

Some belated Cheddar...

1.Do you read more male or female bloggers? Why do you suppose that is?
Scanning my blogroll and taking a quick survey, it seems I read more male bloggers than female bloggers, but only by a slight margin. I'm not sure what exactly accounts for that margin either; I simply reads what I likes.
2. Does politicizing a blog send you packing if the blogger's beliefs are opposed to your own? Or, do you only read opinions that you agree with?
What will send me fumbling for my mouse and the safety of the 'back' button is any kind of hot air or empty platitudes (Liberals are commies! Republicans are Nazis! Why? Because I said so!) devoid of any logical point. I read blogs with political content from both the left and right. Whether or not I agree is beside the point; I'm looking for intelligent and thought provoking commentary, not blind agreement.
3. Do you read other Cheddar X answers before writing your own?
No.
4. What was the last utterly ridiculous thing someone said to you?
Can I see your cards?

If you want to see my cards you have to call. No exceptions.
5. What world record would you most like to hold?
How about the luckiest man alive? That would be a good thing I think.
6. What types of blog posts make you want to comment more often than not?
First and foremost, posts written about topics near and dear to me - books, history, history books - you get the idea.

And if you make me a laugh I'll at least say thanks.
7. Does your significant other have a beloved article of clothing that you hate? Have you contemplated "accidentally" destroying it?
There is no significant other at present. Nor can I remember any prior ones having an article of clothing I hated. (That sort of thing seems to be reserved for my wardrobe.) The only articles of clothing that I can recall any former girlfriends wearing were articles I liked.*

And what kind of weirdo 'accidentally' destroys clothing belonging to a girlfriend or a boyfriend? I thought that sort of thing only happened on sitcoms.


*Confession: If in the process of getting ready for a night out in formal or semi-formal attire I am asked by a date/significant other 'which dress do you like best?' I will almost always answer 'the black one.'

If I am pressed for details I will clarify by adding 'the short black one.'
