We the unwilling, led by the unqualified, have been doing the unbelievable for so long, with so little, we now attempt the impossible with nothing. - Mini-School Credo

What Would You Ask God?

February 1, 1996 by Mini Archives

By Mike Jacobson

Once upon a time, I was sitting at my house, bored, watching Oprah. My brain seemed to be quickly slipping into a somewhat comatose state, never to return. (At least not until I had to go to the bathroom.) Just then, like a kid eating a pillowcase of Twinkies, I was hit with a sudden jolt of cheap enthusiasm. Oprah had just posed a question that I knew would make the perfect rip-off for a Com-mini-cations article, “What would you ask God?” Okay, so it’s a question that most conservative minds would answer with some cheesy, sentimental value to it. But if you put it in the hands of a smart-aleck Mini student, let them juggle it awhile, the answers come back being only cheesy. Here they are: (all statements included.)

Casey W.- What does Randy look like without a beard?

Doug- Casey is a wuss for not going on the winter camping trip.

Bill Z.- What the F@*#?!!

Pat M.- Where can I get those sandals?

Patti H.- I wouldn’t?

Z R.- What religion do you believe in?

Andrea H.- Why this broad expanse of life? O yeah, what happened to the goddess?

Dan S.- What ?

Allison Y.- Can I get some new shoes?

Randy- Why do bad things happened to good people?

Lance H.- You can’t ask a question to someone who’s not there.

Aaron C.- Can I get back to you on that?

Lisa K.- Can you give me a van?

Me- Do you have a god complex?

Group question- Do you like cockroaches better than us or something?
