Last year Willy Mac tried a weekly post where he would answer reader’s emails to the site. It started off great but we didn’t get enough emails to keep it going. We don’t tend to learn from history real well, so we’re trying it again. This time we’re trying to put the focus on questions not necessarily involving football. Email us at chili at block-c.com with the subject ASK BLOCK-C or send us a tweet at @dannyfordisgod with hashtag #AskBlockC.

"I can't remember the names of my grandchildren, but I can sure fire off an angry missive about blacks to Block-C!"

We received a number of entries today and here’s our answers.

Guys, will you please explain this 5 Guys popularity? It’s greasy crap. I make better burgers at home. – Bill K.

So you can make better burgers at home, but do you know what city your french fries come from, asshole? Five Guys was one of those places where people used to line up around the block to get into, but has now spread so far as to become ubiquitous in the fast food landscape. But, look, don’t act like a greasy burger isn’t a good burger. I’d take Cinco Hombres burgers over lots of other places. Also, speaking of burgers, why the hell did Mac’s go and take the thousand island off the counter and start charging for it? And furthermore, why the refusal to put onion rings on the cheeseburger plate? Just add the 60 cent difference and be done with it. Sheesh. - Chili

What insight are y’all hoping to gather from Auburn/Miss State tonight? any thoughts? – Melissa C.

Easy.  Can Cameron Newton really play?  I want to be able to see what that guy can do.  After seeing a couple highlights of his play from last weekend, I want to see how well he runs the QB keeper, b/c if he can run that play, Clemson’s defense might never get off the field.  Also, I want to see if the Tiger’s (other Tigers?)defense is as bad as they say.  Is it bad enough that Clemson can score easily or at least sustain a drive for more than three plays?  That’s what I’m hoping to gather from the Auburn/Miss State game tonight. -Sambo

If Danny Ford is God, what is Tommy West? – @ACCSports

Charlie Pell minus the cheating. - Chili

Does a man’s soul really die at 25? – Cameron C.

Your soul lived to 25? Yes, Cameron, young men begin to experience what I’d like to term a quarterlife crisis about this age. Basically read everything around the “you’re not your fucking khakis” part of Fight Club and you’ll get it. You went to college like everyone said, now you’re out and either you have a job you don’t like and can’t fathom spending a lifetime in or you are jobless and living at home where you have to try and remember to hide that sock  you don’t want your mom seeing when she does the laundry. You know, fellas, that one. So what to do now? Well, if you’re tied up in debt or married, you’re fucked. Just slowly start building an emotional wall of solitude around you through which none of your friends and family can effectively reach you. If you’re not tied down like this, then listen to me RIGHT NOW. Pack a suitcase: some clothes, toiletries, and a bottle of bourbon. Walk right out your front door and just run. Somewhere, anywhere, it doesn’t matter. Just go. Your soul is out there somewhere, but you’ve got to chase after it to find it.  - Chili

Can hose bibb vacuum breakers have a down stream shut off valve? – Will M.

The answer is who cares.  Plus it’s spelled “Bib”, stupid. -Sambo

How excited are you for a trip to the Sun Bowl this year? – Zach

On The Standard Excitement Scale of “Getting Hit in the Balls with a Hammer to Getting to See Boobs for the First Time”, I would say I’m about “We’re Having Ice Cream for Dinner” excited.  Have you ever been to El Paso?  Basically, the only thing to do in El Paso is go to Mexico and Mexico doesn’t excite me unless the words “beach” or “donkey show” are involved.  So, like having ice cream for dinner, you would be excited about it until it’s over, then you would just feel dirty about having done it.  Same as going to the Sun Bowl for me.  -Sambo
