Five Questions Friday: Caddywompus

Q: Worst injury you have ever had?
Eric: I’ve been pretty lucky—no broken bones.  I will tell you one story. At the old basket shop we had a Pneumatic drum sander that needed to be filled with air using a tire pump. One day I connected the pump to the machine and was distracted for about a half hour. When I came back I instantly turned the machine on.  It spun the tire pump around and hit me square in the forehead.  Lots of blood, stitches and some eye lashes that won’t grow in.
(editor’s note: You’re missing eyelashes? I need to go check that out.)

Q: If we go to a Red Sox game, will you wear a bag over your head too?
Eric:  No! Because you couldn’t pay me enough to watch this bunch play. I don’t even want to watch them on tv. If I had to watch Biggest Loser or the Bigger Losers, I would pick Biggest Loser—it takes less time to watch them lose.
(editor’s note: Bag Man is a new Boston celebrity. And he’s from our town, Manchester, New Hampshire.)

Q: In some of your workshops, I have heard the word “caddywompus” used. What does that mean?
Eric:  It usually means that someone is not happy.

Q: What was your biggest accomplishment today?
Eric:  Answering Five Questions Friday
(editor’s note: He went grocery shopping today. So I think it was that.)

Q: What’s annoying you this week?
Eric:  Red Sox aside? Finding the Toilet paper roll propped up on the holder. I think I am the only one in this house that actually knows how to put it on the holder.
(editor’s note: I don’t like that answer. I’m feeling caddywompus.)
