Mar. 23: Episode II (or is it IV?): Rejected Queston Day Strikes Back

Happy Monday everyone! That's right, it's that time again...Rejected Question Day! How sweet it is... a collection of my failures over the last month of question asking. Everybody wins. I get a day off where I don't have to worry about coming up with another outrageously creative question that brings joy to all who read it and maybe even some who don't. And you, instead of getting only one of those good questions, get four (that's right, four!) sub-par questions. Questions that maybe were a little over the head of the average Yahoo Answers participant. Some that just didn't get their chance to shine. Some that just down right sucked. But that doesn't mean you should just skip over them. No, not at all. Just think of them as Stupid Question of the Day B-Sides. That'll make it better.

************************************************************************************

Question #1 (You never know when this could happen to you.)

You are walking down the sidewalk when you happen to stumble upon the nexus of the universe and are thrust into an alternate dimension where people live in houses made of food. What is yours going to be made of?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo! Answers:

Dark Chocolate!!!

Mostly cheese, but I would have a chocolate wing as well.

Fruits. Fruit trees !!!

The roof is made out of Red Licorice;
The chimney made out of Dark Chocolate bricks, Cream Cheese in the middle, and the smoke out of Seven Up bubbles;
Walls made out of Dark Chocolate bricks with Cream Cheese in the middle of each brick, but painted over with an off white Frosting.
Windows made out of transparent and hard sheets of Cooked Sugar, and porch chimes out of Smarties and Tootsie Rolls;
A flower and tree garden made out of Chocolate roses, Oreo tulips, and 5 Flavor Lifesavers daisies, while proud trees stand ornamented with brand new fruits of every color, kind, and shape; but, with a twist: Apple trees have Kiwis, Orange trees have Strawberries, Lemon trees have Watermelons, Peach trees have Grapes, and on and on...
(That is truly a frightening amount of detail.)

*************************************************************************************

Question #2 (Come and listen to a story...)

You, a poor resident of the hills of West Virginia, are out hunting for food. You take a shot at something that looks edible, but you miss and your bullet strikes the ground and up from the ground comes a bubblin' crude. Oil that is. Black gold. Texas tea. You're now rich and decide to leave the hills. You think about going to Beverly Hills, but that's been done. Where do you go?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo! Answers:

I'd travel around the world helping others where I could.
(Noble. But lame.)

Sorry, but the Clampetts were not from West Virginia... according to Wikipedia:
While Granny frequently mentioned that she was from Tennessee, the series never specified the state from which the Clampetts moved to California. However, they often referred to nearby towns such as Joplin, Branson, and Silver Dollar City, all of which are in southwest Missouri. Early episodes also contained several references to Eureka Springs, which is in northwest Arkansas.
=== Now... if there's a NEW family... the hills they go to is Atlanta.
Everyone is entitled to my opinion.
(So you tell me I'm wrong by citing a source which states that where the Clampetts were from is unknown. Meaning that I could be right. Good work.)

*************************************************************************************

Question #3 (This one actually got good response, but my knowledge of this particular subject is so limited that I had no idea if any of these were funny or not. Poor planning on my part I suppose.)

What is your favorite Pokemon and why?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo! Answers:

Snorlax. I'd love to be able to sleep all the time and just wake up to eat.

Milotic. Just look at it...

gyarados
---- yeah!!

That legendary arctic one, I forgot its name. It's beautiful and a water-type (sort of). Water and fire were my favourites. I had a lovely tee with all my favourite water Pokemon but my mom threw it out. :( I wanted to keep it and put it in a frame.
*Source*: I used to want to be a Pokemon trainer
(I don't think a comment from me on this one is necessary.)

Deoxys. I think it's a Hoenn pokemon

Charizard!

Pikachu! He's so cute! That's the only pokemon character I know of lol

jiggly puff. she's got her own music and she draws on people.
♪ jiggly puff...♪
(And she kicks some serious butt in Smash Bros....)

iggly puff coz he draws on everyone hahah
(...Or it would if it wasn't apparently facing a gender crisis. Is it a he or she?)

gengar... when i used to play pokemon that thing was unstoppable

Don't really watch it anymore, but I guess Metagross.

pikachu! because that's like the only one i know

definitely Alakazaam. hes unstoppable and awesome and psychic!
(He cited his source as common sense. As a person who values logic, I am slightly offended that common sense would be used in this fashion.)

mew cuz hes cute.

Lucario, he's just aweome and so strong. He's close to a psuedo-legendary, but not quite though
(If something is "close to psuedo-legendary", is it really very close to legendary at all?)

I love umbreon cuz i have one in diamond and it is a level 100. It is like tottaly UNSTOPPABLE

*************************************************************************************

Question #4 (Biggest disappointment. I thought this one had potential.)

You are The Woodchuck, a superhero who patrols the city of Vancouver, defending the people from all kinds of crazy evil. If you could chuck wood, there's no telling what you'd be capable of. But for now you just protect a Canadian city. You have many enemies, but you've narrowed down the biggest, baddest villains to be your arch-nemeses Ozzy Osbourne, John Madden, and Mr. Rogers (he's surprisingly evil). Which of these poses the greatest threat to you and why?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo! Answers:

Ozzy. He's the prince of darkness.

Madden

Ozzy usually to F'd up to be any harm,well except himself maybe.
John Madden cant half way understand what he's trying to say so, that could be a problem knowing what his threat is.
I would just fear Mr.Rodgers-He just creeps me out now that I'm older and think I actually sat and watched him...and liked it
