Every day, I will share something that makes me think 'Wish You Were Here.'

September 3/12

Oh.  My.  Gawd.

I've recently picked up some new podcasts, and I'm in the process of listening to back episodes in order to catch up.  One of these podcasts is the incredibly funny and totally absurd My Brother My Brother and Me which is a trio of brothers who provide 'advice' for questions sent in by listeners, or plumbed from the depths of Yahoo Answers for questions that they can answer.  The McElroy brothers are a little sheltered with regards to the stranger or kinkier things in life, but they are hella funny, and this podcast is good for some really big laughs.

Anyway, the last segment of each show is the youngest brother, Griffin, providing a Yahoo Answers question which is meant to be a weird, fucked-up laughfest that will be unanswered by the brothers.  So tonight, while Etienne plays on the playstation, which is connected to the only TV in the house with cable, I'm just sitting here listening to these back episodes.  I was literally in the middle of writing a WYWH post for today, when I heard the following question, and I swear, my Daily WYWH changed in a split second:

Posted on Yahoo Answers: "Why can't I stop watching porn, and what is your favourite Disney movie?" 

I tried not to bust an exercise-deadened gut laughing.  An earlier episode featured a Yahoo Answers user asking when is a good time to have "the talk" with her cat, who was 8 years old (uhh, cats begin sexual activity at 1 year old).  And all I can think is...are people for real?  I know a lot of them are just fucking around on the internet, but then what about those people who are actually asking such absurd questions in earnest?

Oh.  My.  Gawd.

Wish you were here.
