Trivia 2/212/23/2016 Heh-HEY there, America, and thanks for stopping by for another edition of Ben Needed Something For His Blog Trivia! I'm your host, the interchangeable Id, Ego and Super-Ego of Benjamin Mumford-Zisk, here to tell you that tree pollen is the number on killer of Americans under ninety-nine, so don't forget to spay and neuter your houseplants!
1.1
I have this team that shows up a lot of Sundays who call themselves them Muffdivers. They sit in the corner and yell "Muff Die VERS!" every chance they get. They get a lot of chances, cause they're like twenty-one and go to college, so they're used to going after every opening they see. I also pause a lot. I think they might be scared of silence. They're great. 1.2

Hey, we're gonna do our super secret bonus round! All these questions fit a theme, and if you can tell me what the theme is, I'll give you five extra points! Well, I won't give them to you, I'm not scoring this and I'm actually a figment of your imagination! I'm not wearing underwear. I don't have a body. Boo! 2.2 SUPER SECRET BONUS ROUND
Didja GET IT? Man, I didn't. I never do. And they won't give me the answers until after the commercials, cause ONE TIME I made a few bets. Never gonna let me forget that, ARE ya, Ernie? No, I'm not gonna let it go, my goddam knee pops every time I sit down! Because they broke it! Because I couldn't pay the vig, ERNIE. Anway. 3.1
Bill? I thought he was a Mormon? They can lapse? Huh. Learn something new every day. 3.2
All right, folks, I'm betting there's a lot of one and two point responses to that last one, we'll be back with answers, after this! Where's my cigarettes? Yeah, I did quit, there's a key bump in there. It's been a long year, Ern. Well, Marsha left, and I think she wants a divorce, I dunno, I'm having panic attacks every– "Well, no, I just don't think we can trust someone like her in the White House." "She was Secretary of State, dad. And I mean, even if you don't like her, what about Bernie-" "Oh, don't talk to me about that socialist. I mean, I haven't made up my MIND to vote for Trump, but..." Does this happen to you? Do you find your family holidays ruined by off-the-rails conservative elements in your family? Are you tired of mentally compensating for loved ones who veil racist, misogynistic or culturally suicidal sentiments behind vaguely-articulated political dogma? Then PrickOff is for you! Prickoff is a medical-grade corrosive substance bound up in a viscous antiseptic and anesthetic solution that can be swabbed on to the unevolved members of your family to quickly and painlessly burn them away. PrickOff works in minutes, and cleans up with water! So next time Gramma starts talking about the Thugs in the White House, or Uncle Frank tells you he supports Donald Trump's plan to bomb Agraba, don't nod and smile and add to your ulcer! Reach for the PrickOff, and Make America Great again! PrickOff. Remember, there's a chance that gold-mopped psychopath could win, so the more of these morons we keep from voting, the better.

Listen a dude can only stand so many goddam hours driving a keyboard a day, so I'm gonna keep this brief. HI THERE NEWCOMERS! I'm hard at work and hard at work on the sequel to The Origami Man. It's called A Farther Orbit, and it's all the weird stuff Samson gets into after he bugs out of Earth to keep the bugs off Earth. There's murder and mayhem and a hell of a lot more fun alien nonsense, along with a lot of grownup themes. That's my way of saying there's a lot of swearing, a complex plot interwoven with themes of loss, acceptance, and understanding of a person's responsibilities in life, and also a thorough discussion of Cab's potential as a sex toy. Anyway, I'm reading it through ahead of the final round of edits, and I'm hoping to have it on the stands by April 25, when I turn 30! This is because if I don't have a second book published by my thirtieth birthday I lose my birthright to Mumford-Zisk Manor, and the title shall go to my half-brother, Percival. He's a furry, and I won't have him yiffing around Mother's rose garden. Anyway, keep an eye on my twitter and instagram and all that horseshit, because a good friend of mine just told me that I needed to learn to whore myself better. What's that? No, I'm positive she said 'whore yourself.' Hustle? I'm supposed to hustle myself? That doesn't sound anything like 'whore yourself!' Well I don't know where I got 'whore yourself,' Gerald. Oh, go shove your Freudian slip up your ass. Christ. Take it from 'anyway.' Anyway, keep an eye on my twitter (@mumfordzisk) and instagram (also @mumfordzisk) and my tumblr ([email protected]) for updates on A Farther Orbit and all the rest of The Adventures of Gregory Samson, Space Explorer! What? Oh, fuck off we're live. We're really live? God damn it Gerald. Trivia 1_312/1/2016 Trivia time is back!
