QotDs That Will Never See The Light Of Day (until Now!)

Once upon a time I submitted a QotD suggestion. It must have gotten lost behind the filing cabinet. I thought it was an interesting question and thought the replies would not only be entertaining but educational. The question was: "What is the most rotten thing you have ever done to another human being?"

So here's a partial list of other QotD suggestions that will likely never see the light of day.

Why do you hate America so much?
Do you have all your original fingers and toes? And if so, why?
If ooo could be an uggy-wuggy fuzzy bunny, what color uggy-wuggy fuzzy bunny would ooo be? And what color uggy-wuggy fuzzy bunny would be inferior to yours?
How would you prefer to die? I'm booked solid until next week.
Are you going to finish that?
Do you like stuff?
If the President asked you to pull his finger, would you? Would the Secret Service have to intervene with the use of deadly force?
Is the QotD merely a thinly-disguised marketing data collection tool? And if so, what color Nissan would you care to live in, Citizen?
Do you think God really cares if you masturbate? Or do you think He's just gotten used to the Baby Jesus crying?
What is your all-time favorite grosser-than-gross guilty pleasure?
If you're offended by something, isn't that your problem?
What is your problem anyway?
Who's your Daddy?
Why are some wars more fun to re-enact than others?
What are the pet names of your/your partner's genitals? What are they going as this Halloween?
If a magical fairy granted everyone in the world the ability to wish any one person dead, how many seconds would the human race have left? And if someone magically survived, who do you think that someone would be?
What's the worst published QotD you've ever seen?

I'd like to see: 'Do you like stuff?'

[this is good]

I'd vote for all of those.

Now that Vox is open to the public, I'm thinking that the harmless, non-threatening QotD will be an attractive feature to many mousy teenagers who are just waiting for an opportunity to ramble on about their favorite brand of shoes or which day of the week they find most scrumptious.

on question
What are the pet names of your/your partner's genitals? What are they going as this Halloween?
what does the underlined they refer to? the partners' or...
btw, the whole list is awesome. would love to see any of them, but particularly the last one.

"which day of the week they find most scrumptious." would actually be a better/more interesting qotd than what gets posted there regularly. and is Tuesday.

Forgive my grammatical ambiguity. I meant the genitals, naturally.

Impossible to choose a favorite!

What is your problem anyway? this one's already been asked of me.

i liked the QotD when i was first starting out and didn't know what to write about. now i barely notice it is there. it's kind of like "blogging for dummies." along those lines, i'd have to say "what did you do this weekend?" is the worst i've seen. if you need prompting on that issue, maybe blogging isn't for you.

the ideal qotd: "Did you ever shot a man in Reno? Just to watch him die?

Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?

[this is bloody excellent]

[this is good]

This is excellent. It reminds me of some of the inane questions we used to ask on our high school newspaper in the "Herndon Speaks" column. One such question was "what historical figure would you want to come back as?" One stoner wrote in simply, "the head of John the Baptist." I still think about that to this day.

this is great....why waste a day with 'what are your plans...' when you could answer questions like 'who's your daddy?'

[this is good]

Why are some wars more fun to re-enact than others?

oh man i can't wait til next century when all the war buffs are reenacting iraq 2. first they'll have saddam eating christian babies in his palace while sitting on a pile of wmd's. then they don't even need guys with guns to come in. it'll just be dubya on a horse, galloping in to save the day.

oh and i call my junk dave.

Why do you hate America so much? - I don't hate America, I just hate that one nutcase living in the White House.
Do you have all your original fingers and toes? And if so, why? Yeah, original fingers and toes. Came equipped with them
If ooo could be an uggy-wuggy fuzzy bunny, what color uggy-wuggy fuzzy bunny would ooo be? And what color uggy-wuggy fuzzy bunny would be inferior to yours? - This one is hilarious.....hrmmm, probably shitty shitty shitty farty smelly deep brown
How would you prefer to die? I'm booked solid until next week. - In my sleep, just a neverending dream.
Are you going to finish that? - Do you want the leftovers? It's lasagna
Do you like stuff? - I love stuff, I'm surrounded by stuff, I go out and do stuff to have stuff to buy stuff
If the President asked you to pull his finger, would you? Would the Secret Service have to intervene with the use of deadly force? - I'd offer him a pretzel instead
Do you think God really cares if you masturbate? Or do you think He's just gotten used to the Baby Jesus crying? - Sounds like Colbert.
If you're offended by something, isn't that your problem? - Sounds like another Colbert
What is your problem anyway? - And another
Who's your Daddy? - Not Colbert....
Why are some wars more fun to re-enact than others? - But of course. They always re-enact the Civil War and the War for Independence. Anyone seen a Vietnam reenactment??

Sweet Zombie Jesus! I'd like to thank the Academy. I'd like to thank CV, mariser, ICCT, infadel, and Emma for their kind words and support. Ben: Saturday is most scrumptious, when I can do the Christian version of Shomer Shabbos, meaning I can use an elevator, and roll. HotRod: Why am I not surprised? Cap'n: Um, Lee? Alina: Well, who is your Daddy? Lava: Dude, yer local, we should party, altho' Dave's not invited. Aput: Thanks for the Colbert comparison. Quite an honor. In all truthiness I just wrote 'em down. And good answers! You're ready to play the Family Feud! And a very special Doogie Houser thanks to everyone who Favorited this. I'd also like to give a shoutout to my homies Ray Ray and Big Steve...[music rises]

paper or plastic? why?

Do you want fries with that? if so, why?

Is that your final answer? If so, why?

Trouble is, telling you my grosser-than-gross guilty pleasure means it is no longer a secret. Plus it involves bodily secretions and should remain undiscovered. And I loved the last question - about 30 seconds - and if anyone was left, he/she/it would be extremely vanilla!

Freaking Fantastic. What else is there to say?

[this is good]

I went ahead and answered your entire new list.

[this is good]

For answering all questions (ok, I'll overlook "What is the most rotten thing you have ever done to another human being?") I award MainMor with the much coveted Paradox Crest of Creative Smartassery.

I like the marketing tool one. And I say red.

[this is good]

Are you going to finish that?
If you're offended by something, isn't that your problem?

Good lord, this list is fantastic.
