The “Five Questions” Meme

Filed under: Blogging Matters — Patterico @ 5:55 pm



A while back, Xrlq participated in a “meme” where bloggers interview each other by asking them five questions. I answered Xrlq’s ridiculous questions, and then tried to continue the pyramid scheme by offering a chance for other bloggers to participate. The response was overwhelming, if by “overwhelming” you mean that one guy finally agreed to do it, and even then only after I bribed him. That person was Flap of the FullosseousFlap’s Dental Blog. Flap is a dentist, as you will quickly guess.

I have these five questions for Flap:

1) 4 out of 5 dentists recommend sugarless gum for their patients who chew gum. What does the 5th recommend?

2) Why do you guys always try to talk to us when we have that tube in our mouth?

3) Do you think the current filibuster deal has any teeth to it? Also, do you have any canines?

4) Do you enjoy it when people make bad puns about teeth? Also, do you mind if I combine two questions into one, if the two questions are really lame?

5) What the heck does “Fullosseous” mean?

If any other bloggers still want to participate after reading the questions I asked Flap, leave a comment. There are still 4 spots open.

UPDATE: Flap has answered the questions here. Caution: the answer to #5 contains visual material that may not be suitable for those with weak stomachs.

  2. Maybe I’ll do it. What’s the bribe? 🙂

  3. 1) Gum with sugar: business is slow.

    2) Because they don’t wish to know our opinions (i.e. big city newspaper ombudsmen).

    3) The filibuster deal has the teeth of peer pressure. Yes, I have canine teeth as well as canines… a Rottweiler and a Rhodesian Ridgeback.

    4) And the others weren’t lame?

    5) Fullosseus means “Brian J. Peppers”.

  4. I kind of assumed that only people in your blogroll would be eligible, but since they all let you down miserably, I’ll take a shot at it. Just no questions about erotic feelings towards Barbie dolls, OK? No particular reason, I just don’t want to answer any questions in that area. Don’t go assuming that there’s any particular reason for that or anything. It was just off the top of my head as something that I don’t want to answer questions about.
