Ask Gorpo!
Volume 11: July 20, 2002

 

Ah yes, it's true. At long last, your dearest Gorpo has returned to answer
your inane chatterings with far more wisdom than you deserve. But I kid; I
know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I dislike all
of you. But I digress. On to the questions!

So dear Gorpo, why is a new figure of your lousy brother in the works already while we are still longing for a plastic version of yours we can pray to?

Dear Lord,
As I've mentioned elsewhere, it's all about money, of course. Mattel has not approached me about licensing my likeness, and until they do, I'm afraid all you Gorpoans won't have a plastic idol of your idol. Which is fine, because I don't even want to think about what you'd do to it. You're sick! Sick!

i am the angryoriental and i like motor sports, unfortunately my wife isn't
too jazzed about me riding things that goes 160+ mph. so my question to you
is.... how do i go about buying a gsx-r 1000 and a polaris rmk 800 at the
same time? now mind you the money is not the problem, convincing my wife is.
any advice on how to convince my wife that I NEED both would be greatly
appreciated!

Dear Enraged Man of Asian Descent,
Your problem is obvious: you actually listen to your wife. No, strike that -
you *obey* your wife. What's up with that? I suggest you grow a set and buy whatever dangerous recreational equipment you like. Just keep your smelly, noise-polluting self outta my backyard, hear?



Dear Gorpo,
I'm in urgent need of your assistance. For the past two years I've been
posting on an Internet message board devoted to a 1980s toyline and cartoon
show (which, by pure coincidence, is about to make a comeback and give the
Power Rangers a long overdue kick up the backside). I've recently realized
that I'm addicted to this message board. However, this is not the problem.

Without realizing it, I've developed a nervous habit of starting every post
on this message board with the phrase 'Chris here...'. The problem is, I
can't remember why I started doing it. Worse yet, I can't stop!! Have you
any insight into why this happens? Is my subconcious mind trying to assert
itself by consistently compelling me to state my identity? Or, is there some
deeper, darker reason?

Yours in Chris here-ness,

Chris (here)

Dear Chris there,
Gorpo here. Believe me, I take your condition very seriously. Gorpo here. I
think you should look deep inside yourself and figure out why you feel the
need to reassert your identity every time you comunicate. Gorpo here. And if that doesn't work, then please seek out psychological counseling, because this is clearly a serious problem.

Gorpo (no longer) here.

We are all aware that the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is in fact "42"...but could you possibly tell us what the actual question is?

Dear Lioncourt,
No.

I have long since pondered why holes in underwear develop. Is it because of
friction or repeated washing that cause the fabrics to breakdown?

Dear JTW,
I have often pondered this very same question. When you are surrounded by people wearing naught but furry briefs all day, underwear generally becomes the most common dinner topic. As for your question, I asked Prince Adam about it, and he informs me that it's a combination of both the friction and repeated washing. Skid marks don't help either.



Dear Gorpo,
Filled with love for He-man and all things MOTU, I took to wearing furry
underwear some years ago. While quite comfortable, they would occasionally
get fleas, which required special underwear shampoo.

Anyway, now I wish to emulate the new He-man 2002 figure, who wears even
bigger furry underwear, but when I wear it, fur sticks out all over, my pants don't fit right, and co-workers stare. Worse, I may have a family of ticks living in my underwear.

What can I do to continue wearing these marvellous undergarments and still
function normally at work?

Sincerely,
Baffled Bushy BVD buyer

Dear BBBVDB,
There's a simple solution to your problem. The dress-wearing Scots have been using it for tens of years: try wearing normal briefs under your furry
underwear. If you just can't get bring yourself to, then I'm afraid you'll
have to resign yourself to years of tick-infested groins. Best of luck.


Well, that does it for this month, dear friends. What's that? What? Oh
right...um..."please be sure to send more questions my way." There, okay! I did it! Now get off my back, officer! Yeesh
