Ask Rob & Ron
If You've Got A Question... Hi! Welcome to Ask Rob & Ron -The column where you provide those thought-provoking yet entertaining questions and we supply the most accurate and concise -yet entertaining- answers possible (or we just make something up, depending on the kind of day we're having.) If you have a question, just e-mail us! Otherwise, don't just sit there with that blank look on your face, start reading...
Dear Ron: Let me get this straight! You're telling me that Rob is running for the highest office in the land [Check out "Rob & Ron In '96" series on our Maximum Toonage page for more details -Ron] and his platform is free concerts and sporting events for everyone? So if that is true and Rob is such a concert going kinda guy, why did he not know that Newsboys concert that you two just attended [See same series -Ron] was reserved seating or general admission? And if you really think about this...Rob running for president brings new meaning to the song "Take Me To Your Leader." -Your dedicated fan [and part-time goober], Lee Rob Replies: Listen, you ingrate-- Ron: Er...Maybe I'd better take this one! Well, now...I guess you're questioning my good friend's integrity as far as his concert knowledge is concerned, huh? It sounds almost like you think that he knew that the concert was general admission, but didn't tell me because he wanted some so-called humorous bodily injury to result in the strip's punchline. Well, now that you brought it up, Lee, I have to admit that I was kind of suspicious at the time, but kinda forgot about it till you said something. And now I'd like to know too! So Rob did you know that the Newsboys concert was general admission or not? Remember, the Lord is listening... Rob: I -uh- I'm -um- That is -er- What was the question again? Ron: I see...Well, that ends another segment. Join us again next time for another fun-filled edition of Ask Ron... Rob: Uh- Don't you mean Ask ROB & Ron? Ron: Nope. Rob: Um...Oh...help... Posted 2/5/98 Hi, Guys: I just visited your page and was reviewing your question and answer section. You got the "Butterfly Kisses" one ALL WRONG. (See Below -Us) "Butterfly Kisses" are when someone brushes their eyelashes up against your cheek. I thought you would have known that, you two COOL DUDES. Hey, another "new" tidbit... you know those fluffy seeds that sail around in the late summer. As kids we use to call them "wishes". I have a new name for them: "God's Kisses"...Neat huh? -Your cyber fan, Kate Rob Replies: Thanks for the e-mail, Kate. As you suspected we are two COOL DUDES and though Ron can sometimes be an utter doofus, I like to think of myself as pretty astute. I suspected that "Butterfly Kisses" weren't kisses from butterflies the whole time...otherwise the song just doesn't make any sense. But then Ron got carried away with all his horsefly nonsense so I just let him babble. But on the subject of those so-called "fluffy seeds" that sail around, I'm afraid you're way off base. I have been told by a very reliable source that those are a very minute form of extraterrestrial life. Now I know that I may sound like one of those lunatic conspiracy theory freaks that thrive on the X-Files, but just grab one of them and look at it sometime...If you look real close...it has eyes! They're watching us, Kate. They're waiting for us to-- Ron: --And he says that I'm a DOOFUS! Posted 10/4/97 Dear Rob & Ron: What are your feelings about asking Christian artists for autographs? Is it a form of idol worship? I'd love to hear your opinion. -Liz Ron Replies: To accurately respond to your question, Rob and I did a test. We picked out 12 Christian artists and just through their actions upon asking for autographs were able to assume the following... Most were more than willing to give us their autograph, but some felt a little awkward, especially those we asked in the restrooms. Some wouldn't give their autograph while eating barbequed chicken, though one tried. I've got a stained Third Day shirt to prove it! Most didn't like to autograph CD's that weren't even theirs. But I do have a Toby McKeehan-signed copy of Petra's No Doubt, if anyone's interested. One didn't give "autographs," but he agreed to "sign" my picture. Thanks, Dale! Everyone was okay about signing posters, photos and CD's, but all drew the line at blank checks and loan applications. Though one did slip by. Thanks for the car, Rebecca...I'll take you for a ride any time! No one at all would stand for us having them sign a half dozen discs and then try to sell them to other fans for $25 bucks each. Rob: I hope that answered your question, Liz...but I doubt it. Posted 9/7/97 Dear Rob & Ron: Your column and comic strip has been very insightful about a lot of issues that I guess I never thought you'd care about. Are you guys deeper than we thought or is it all just an act? -Your Friend, Jill Ron Replies: I'm hurt that people would think that we're anything less than caring, sensitive human beings. We don't just walk around letting the topic of Christian Music consume us. We do many other things such as -uh- Well, we -um- Rob, could you...? Rob: It's all just an act. Posted 8/16/97 Dear Life As We Know It Guys: I keep hearing you rave about Veggie Tales, but still don't know exactly what they are. Are Bob And Larry really living, breathing, talking vegetables or are they some kind of made-up characters? I've just got to know. -Bobby from Seattle Rob replies: Are you some kind of made-up character? Of course they're not real talking vegetables! It's a computer-generated cartoon, you doofus! Someone needs to get a life and I do believe it's you, dude! Ron: They're not real...? Rob: But if you want to take a look at what they're all about you might want to check out the official Big Idea website. Ron: They're not real...? Posted 8/16/97 Dear Rob & Ron: What in the world are "Butterfly Kisses" and why is Bob Carlisle and other people singing about them almost every minute of every day? -[Name Withheld] Ron replies: Well, usually we don't talk about mellow stuff that much, but since ol' Bob used to be in a cool band called Allies, we will this time. I actually had to do some research to answer your question and my findings were astounding! I found that butterflies don't actually "kiss" -they BITE! And I've got the swellings to prove it. I went into a cage with a hundred of those things to see what this "kiss" would actually feel like and I tell you, I-- Rob: They weren't BUTTERflies, you goober! They were HORSEflies! You got into a cage filled with female HORSEFLIES!! Ron: You know that really -ow- explains a lot... Posted 8/16/97 Dear Rob: How do you deal with Ron anyway? Sometimes he's kind of "out there," if you know what I mean. Do you have a secret to dealing with his constant outbreaks of doofusity, or is it a talent that you have to be born with? If you have an answer I'd really like to know what it is. Sure, I know he can't be as kind and considerate as you, but you'd think he'd at least-- Ron replies: Sheesh. I really hate it when my mom sends us mail... Posted 8/16/97
