And the answer is....

W.H. answers back to the B.B. Q&A

How does it feel to be the No. 2 Bakersfield blogger?

Do you enjoy badgering me Bake Town?
Didn’t I teach you everything you know?
You may be the No. 1 Bakersfield Blogger, but I was the first. I am the O.G. You are Gottschalks, I am Brocks... (B.T. hanging head in shame…)

2. Why don't you write about where you live? Does it suck that bad?

The standard for “Blogging” is much higher here than it is for the Bakersfield community. (B.T. Cute – BUT! IF that is the case wouldn’t you have been run out of town LONG ago for all your “waist high” stories?)

3. How in the hell do you know the birthday of every single 80’s rocker?

Richard Blade speaks to me through my espresso maker. (B.T. Scarey - but probably true.)

4. Why do you think you developed OCD over West High?

Wouldn’t you if you were in possession of the only copy of the poem “West High In Less Than An Hour”...

The school’s all green
The teachers are mean
They don’t even keep the bathrooms clean

The freshman look funny
The principal is a dummy
Mr. _______’s so old, he’s almost a mummy

Mr. _______ is a ____
____ __________ makes me sick
When Chrissy lights up
_____ flicks her bic

B.T. - Have no idea what to say now.... (insert whistleing sounds.)

5. What is your favorite thing to do when you visit Bakersfield? (Besides get drunk and going to Mexicali.)

I have been taking walks on the same route since 1988. I did it to loosen up my baby box when I was pregnant with My (Now) Lovely Teenaged Daughter. (More than getting drunk), it is what I look forward to the most. I begins in Westwood Estates, winds back through eastern Amberton then through Kern City, past Sundale Golf Club and then back down through Westwood. Most peaceful thing ever. Although sitting in the West High bleachers is a close second...

6. Do your friends in Oregon think you’re as strange as your friends from Bakersfield do?

I don't have any friends in Oregon... (B.T. – What EvEr!)

7. What is your fondest memory of your time in Bakersfield?

You really have to ask? (B.T. Good point – but I was talking about specifics! Details! We want details!)

8. What do you miss most about Bakersfield after you haven’t visited in a long time? (Besides getting drunk and going to Mexicali.)

The sun. (B.T.- Huh.)

9. What is your reaction when you hear someone talking crap about Bakersfield?

I scare them with my crazy face. I cross my eyes. I tell them to move away because I know Judo. They say “What?” I tell them I know Judo and they better watch out. They say “What?” again.
I tell them,“Judo know if I got a knife. Judo know if I got a gun. Judo know if I got keys...” (B.T. That’s the best answer I EVER HEARD!)

10. Oh, Keeper of the Sacred High School Memorabilia - When are we going to have our 1st blogger convention?

When I start getting some respect up in here. (B.T. Yeah, right.)
