David and Amanda Tess with the Inanimate Ball of Wire

Ask the Wire Ball a question!

1.
Will the writers' strike affect the NibCrom Central Awards, just like it affected the Golden Globes? And do you feel like a scab for answering people's questions in the midst of the writers' strike?
- Joan Rivers

The writer's strike has affected the NibCrom Central Awards. The staff of NibCrom Central has refused to write for it, and Nils' puny brain is certainly not up to the task. It is very likely the prestigious awards will be canceled this year, perhaps forever.

I am not part of the writer's union, so I am not "crossing the picket line" by writing this column, nor could I even if I wanted to because of my inanimate nature. I attempted to join the guild several years back, but my application was rejected because I am not human. Foiled again!

2.
Who WAS that masked man, anyway?
- Sullivan Exonia

The Masked Man was part of the NibCrom Wrestling company, a short lived organization that went bankrupt after a scandal involving steroids.

The Masked Man usually worked behind the scenes in the company, booking matches and running the company, although he was known to give commentary during matches or do interviews with the wrestlers from time to time. After the demise of NibCrom Wrestling, the Masked Man disappeared from the general public, his true identity remaining a mystery.

Rumor has it the Masked Man may still be active with the operations of nibcrom.com

3.
Hey Kari, where's your sidekick Meg?
- Grandpa

That's not my name, Grandpa!

4.
Have you ever been used in a deadly snowball fight? That girl has done the football trick on me for the last time...
- Charlie B.

No, I have never been used in a deadly snowball fight, but I have participated in some shot put matches. I even hope to be used in the 2008 Summer Olympics. Let's hope that application doesn't get rejected.

The End. I answered four questions this time instead of three. You can thank me later. Until next time, keep on pondering.
