The Opinionated Dickhead Is Taking Your Requests.

Man. Re: The Previous Post? "The Sports That Matter"?

I have to say, that "straight up opinionated dickhead mode" I hold forth with in that post has got to be the easiest character/voice out of all of the styles in which I write. I can crank out post after post in that mode. I could just go to town on any topic you could name, in that self-same style. Great way to blow off steam, and maybe while I'm at it I can do a little gentle skewering of the moron-level uninformed self-assuredness rampant on the internet (while I'm at it, who are these intellectual cowards with their self-parody taboos? As if one should hold one's self sacred, even in its arguably ridiculous aspects).

But while it's a fun style to write in, and it lets me sound off on all sorts of important issues without really doing any research or work, still I do try to go easy on it. For obvious reasons. It's fun to write, hopefully fun to read as well, but let's face it: even if the post turns out great, it still tends to reflect poorly on me. In some way. Depending on how people want to interpret it.

Still, an idea occurred to me to throw it open to requests, in the comments queue of this post. Anybody want to suggest a topic for me to go to town on, with no research or facts to back me up, just shooting from the hip with the most flip and strident stance I can think of to pull off in the heat of the moment of inspiration?

Note well: I'm asking "suggest a topic." Don't tell me what stance to take on it.

That's my call.
