Do you think that women can be funny?
Yes, I do. I'm planning a post in the near future to explain the muddled factors and foolish arguments on both sides. Then give the Truth, of course.

If you had a adopt one blogger as your son who would it be?
I'm not sure anyone would want me as their dad but I won't dodge the question. I'd probably go with Wald from 'Scarred Tissue'. He's a good guy, smart, eager to learn and [probably] wouldn't leave me stranded in a nursing home someday.
What is your favorite exercise?
Sadly, I don't have one. A work out has never made me feel better. I just get massively depressed afterwords, every single time. I've researched it but can't find anything. It's a shitty way to be unique.

If you had a daughter, what would be the most important lesson that you taught her?
[From my personal blog]
It's going to be tough for you.
Boys (men) are going to do everything they can to get what you have to give.
Be wary.
Never cold.
But wary.
Now, I'm not talking solely about physical love.
I also mean your loyalty.
Your support.
Your faith.
In the long run, those are the most precious gifts a woman can give.
They'll carry a man through even the darkest times.
So choose wisely.
I know you'll want to find a man you love and makes you feel special.
And you should do so.
But, whether you want children or not (although I hope you want them someday) make sure to always, ALWAYS, consider if he'd make a good father.
Because humanity plans - and God laughs.
That's a burden more and more women forget to carry.
But you need to keep that duty in mind at all times.
Like it or not, it's women that decide what the next generation will be.
And that's a responsibility too immense to be disregarded.
Remember, as you measure each man.
Break hearts.
And have yours broken -
There will forever be one man that loves you above all else.
That will always listen.
That will always hold you when you need comforting arms around you.
That will wipe your tears away to reveal that beautiful smile of yours.
Me - your Dad.

Who was your greatest influence, as a writer?
There are a few that had a tremendous impact but, from the work of mine most read, I'd have to say Chuck Palahniuk. His novels 'Fight Club', 'Choke' and 'Invisible Monsters' had a style I could really appreciate and that spoke to me. A terse, punchy style that made a point in very few words. I found it masculine and emotive - things to which I relate, obviously.
Although, Dante Alighieri - author of 'The Divine Comedy' - is equally influential in the work most read of mine. Since, both his work and mine [at his inspiration], is intended to be read at multiple levels [there's more than meets the eye at first read].
Thanks for the great question.

How do you control your desire for variety while in a monogamous relationship?
Great question. It's not as difficult as one may believe. I simply don't enter - clearly and explicitly - in a monogamous relationship unless I'm sufficiently invested in a woman and she, in turn, proves [as best as possible] she is equally so. A quality woman will learn what I like and be happy to indulge. Thus, I build a solid foundation and the rest is fairly easy.

5} Once you stop taking life so seriously, you stop being funny. It's a paradox. How does that work?
"Only by the most profound suffering does one gain real competence in the comic." - Søren Kierkegaard
Thus, the less the world tortures one, the less one has need to laugh - or even find reason to do so.

If I had known then what I know now, I likely would have married a girl I had a crush on in college. Whether that would've been best for me/us or not, I can't say; I'm by no means omniscient.

Gas the kikes, race war now?
Moral issues I have with that aside, given the fact I'm white and non-white races outnumber my "tribe" - it'd be a bad idea.
If I remember correctly you mentioned you did stand up comedy. If so what lessons did it teach you?
You recall correctly; I did stand-up for 2 years. It taught me a few lessons:
1} Comedians are miserable, lonely, bitter people. Well, the good ones, anyway.
2} Don't meet your heroes. In fact, don't have heroes - there's a greater-than-you'd-believe chance you're better than most of them.
3} The secret is knowing when to stop. [This applies to everything in life.]
4} Merit may be recognized but rarely is it rewarded.

Do you have any pets?
If you mean animals, then no. I had a dog when I was child, though. If you mean in the BDSM sense, that's another story...
What's your favorite whiskey?
Jim Beam Devil's Cut. Hands-down.
What's your favorite sexual position?
Good ol' missionary. Puts me in the driver's seat. But doggy-style is great, too. Not that I'll last too long, that way. Call a man a liar that says he does.

Thoughts on this: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/unreasonablefaith/2011/12/10-best-good-guy-lucifer-memes/
William Blake said it best: "A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent". It's the very manifestation of "The Devil con quote scripture". To surface readers [internet surfers], it all makes sense. But, once familiar with the proper context, the evil becomes very, very clear.
Could you give further examples of women who aren't giving, that are more obvious?
Sure. One's that hesitate to give you personal information [phone numbers, innocuous biographical info, etc]. Also, women whom you ask simple favors, i.e. send me that song I like that you have as an mp3, let me borrow that book you have that you recommended, call me when you get home, etc, that fail to do any of them. Ideally, they should be offering small things constantly [except for sex; you should have to work for that].

Never trust a woman who___________.
Never trust a woman that seems hesitant to share with/give of herself to you. [Assuming you, SSM, are asking me as a man]. I do NOT mean sexual acts. I mean little things, thoughtful considerations, regular/consistent acts of kindness/generosity. Women - from a base biological reality - were born to give. (Their breasts, to give nourishment; their vaginas to give entry for new life.) Any woman not willing to give at even the most surface level is one to be avoided.

You're catholic. When was the last time you went to confession?
Sadly, I can't even recall; it's been so long. More than a decade, at least. My mother's and grandmother's funerals were the first and last times I've stepped in a church, in that time, too. Your question jars me awake - I need to change that. Thank you. Though, I'll be in that confessional quite a while.
Why did you change your Twitter username to Delta Badhand from Whiskey and Ashes?
I came up with the Delta Badhand name since I've terrible luck and I'm also an enormous fan of Delta blues music. Thus, apropos. Whiskey & Ashes is still the 'address', of course, so it's not really gone. I'd never give that up, entirely, as it sums up so much of my personal history.
Why Rue d'Auseil, Paris? Is it this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Music_of_Erich_Zann
Yes, absolutely. I'm a huge fan of H.P. Lovecraft, so a nod to his work is something I feel I should give. Also, if one reads the story, the place "disappears" and the protagonist is left to wonder if his experiences [years of them] were even real. That, itself, speaks volumes as to why I chose it - having endured a decade of nightmares, myself.
