For our second installment of TEN QUESTIONS TUESDAY Miscellaneous Yammering is thrilled that the lovely and talented, not to mention wicked smart, sexy and funny JA Konrath/Jack Kilborn aka Joe Konrath has graciously presented himself to the inquisition.
K: Good Morning Joe, thanks for coming.
J: Happy to be here, Conan. I've watched your show for years.
K: Conan? No Joe, KAREN, although I can see how you made that mistake..we're both tall, red headed and have creamy white skin.
But Conan doesn't have these. Got it now? Clear on where you are?
Here, what's that smeared all over your glasses? (Wipes glitter body gel from glasses and hands back)
K: Did you have any trouble finding the place?
J: Nope. Just surfed on in.
K: So, are you ready to get started?
J: Let me get a beer first....ready.
K: If you're ready, I'm ready, tickled pink and also if truth be told, a bit moist. (see my love fest post of June 2)
Drum roll please, hold the rim shot…………….
Ten Questions for Joe Konrath:
K: Cape or Top Hat? And if it's Top Hat, do you go with the monocle?
J: Cape. With a big red S on it.
K: If you were a play thing would you be A) An action figure B) Something soft and furry C) A science experiment of some kind? D) Other
J: I'd have six D batteries and vibrate.
*****[crickets]******
K: Ah, nice, one of those new fangled portable flashlight/alarm clock combinations
K: You're alone in the house, the phone rings from inside the house. Who's on the other end?
J: I hope it's someone with a big check for me.
K: You're running late and it's your turn to cook dinner. You only have an hour before you have to go somewhere. What do you make?
J: I make a trip to the corner pizzeria.
K: Are you ever distracted by something shiny?
J: Only in strip clubs.
K: Favorite kind of dog?
J: One that is still alive.
K: Have you ever waxed your chest?
J: My chest? No.
K: What photos do you have in your wallet?
J: I have pictures of my credit cards.
K: Your pin #? (well, you had your wallet out, figured it was worth a try)
J: 666
K: Besides the birth(s) of your kids, what was the best thing that ever happened to you? (with clothes on)
J: This interview. Wait...you said with my clothes on?
K: And finally, on a personal note, (and I'm lobbing a big slow softball straight over home plate here) you never sent me the nipple shot you promised, and it's been weeks.....there would pretty much only be ONE answer to this....
J: Yes I did. The mailman must have dropped it, because it was slippery.
And there it is................Cue the rim shot
K: Joe, Thanks so much for coming!
J: Thanks for having me.
K: Oh, honey, if only you weren't married…I would....believe me I would.

I'm so pleased that Joe came in to play with me today. As soon as he finishes drinking all of my beer, I'll be back in to look at your comments.
For anyone unfamiliar with the JA Konrath books, they are all named after DRINKS...Bloody Mary, Whiskey Sour, Rusty Nail,
Dirty Martini and Fuzzy Navel...
A Slippery Nipple is also a DRINK so there you go....that answers that question...for anything else...you may be on your own....I've got to go sit in front of a fan for a while....Is it hot in here or is it just me?
"K: Have you ever waxed your chest?
J: My chest? No."
I can't resist and you must be made of sterner stuff, Karen. Has he waxed any other body parts? :-)
Maria,
I'm just wondering how all the folks that commented on music and church yesterday are going to handle this. LOL
And as far as the waxing...I'm NOT EVEN going to think about it....much
Love it! Great questions Karen, and Joe answered them...well, just as we hoped he would!
Lisa,
I know....but man...can you say stunned silence anyone????? He's such a good sport.
And so much fun.
Ha! The mailman must have dropped it, indeed...
Daniel,
I TOLD you it wasn't going to be a literary discussion.
You are a gifted interviewer. Katie Curic's got nothing on you. And Joe makes me want to spend too much money on Amazon.com... among other things.
I'm so excited. My favorite kind of dog is the same as Joe Konrath's.
And you have red hair. (I knew you rocked!)
Somehow, I always expect authors to be more authoritative. No wait, authoritarian maybe? Arthurian? Arthritic? *sigh* Never mind.
But pizza for dinner? Like you're not even trying, man. C'mon, give us something we can emulate with pride! Grilled PB&J, or waffle sandwiches, or tuna surprise or something. NO... just pizza. Pffffffffft.
eclectic,
Did you see what I stole (borrowed) from you?
thanks I needed that.(whew)
What is it with you and food?? running theme here ma'am.
Joe is VERY highbrow when he's in teach you how to get published mode....he was just wearing his other hat today. :)
Judy,
among other things..tee hee...redheads rule...lets untie..I mean unite...oh and thanks for the "s" this morning...I don't know which is more adorable, the fact that you added it or the fact that you added and deleted me asking you to add it. Either way you're a pal.
:)
Lighten up Joe...always so serious.
OK, I'm in. Too funny, my friends!
Hilarious!
Jake..you made it I thought you had gotten lost at that left turn at Albuquerque.
Jane..you brave soul. We won't tell the tweens!
Jen..Glad you liked it but hey missy aren't you supposed to be writing? :)
Ha! I'm nothing if not adoreable!
Priceless. I don't know what was funnier--the questions or the answers. Ah. A match made in heaven... or somewhere.
Or somewhere is right Beth!
Nice to see you at my place.
You looked like you were having SUCH fun at Romantic Times. I have a burning question for you about the convention ...did Joe follow through on his promise (threat) to read his first sex scene in front of 300 women?
Glad you enjoyed the Q&A.
Come back and see me anytime!
Karen :)
bwahahahahahhahahah. karen, your blog never failed to amuse me.
i cant help but laugh disrespectfully as i was trying to enact the entire interview mentally. my mother finally told me to shut up as my giggles overpowered the voice of the news anchorwoman on TV.
^_^
That's too funny Meloi. I love that visual.
Karen :)
(Kicks into Mom mode)--- I mean, behave yourself young lady and while you're at it...sit up straight... tee hee hee:)
