do you wear boxers or briefs
to hold such big balls?

Q. Fake Steve, oh power of politics as well as technology: what precautions are being made to ensure Al Gore won’t be standing this election? He can’t be allowed to screw it all up again.

Q. Dear FakeSteve: What were you like as a teenager?
–Love, FSJ Fanclub President
A. Lonely, stringy-haired, convinced of my genius. And I never bathed.

Q. Dear Fake Steve. We all know what kind of jeans and shoes you use, but how do you smell? Any preferred aftershave we should know about?
–cubeXpert
A. How I smell depends on what I’m eating. When I’m 100% fruitarian I smell like flowers and don’t even need to bathe. When I’m eating beans, broccoli or cabbage, keep your distance.

A. All questions about swallowing should go to Michael S. Malone. My favorite movie is Nemo.

Q. OK, so I met this really interesting woman online but she bailed when I drunk dialed her to ask her “when are we going to have babies”. (I thought it would be a bonding thing, but it was not.) I think I found her sister using the same dating site (I can’t be sure, but it is a strong possibility) and I want to make a play for her. How would you, FSJ, handle this delicate situation?
–Anonymous.
A. Rohypnol comes highly recommended.

Q. Fake Steve, if you could vaporize one member of Apple’s board without fear of retribution from pesky stockholders or members of law enforcement, who would it be and why?
