Q: What do you think of lingerie as a gift for Valentine's Day?
- A Romantic in Nicetown
A: Hey, bro, that's very nice, but I don't even know you. Just a card would be cool.
Seriously, I suppose you mean what do I think about giving lingerie to somebody as a Valentine's gift?
Great, if it's a spouse or significant other. But if it's intended for the girl at the coffee shop, your boss, some dude's momma, a teller at your bank or some other casual acquaintance, watch out. There's a fine line with giving somebody that personal of a gift.
For Valentine's Day, "Roses are red, violets are blue, giving something stupid is not what I'd do."
Q: Charles, who do you think is the best sports analyst on TV? Any sport.
- A TV lover in Gladwyne
A: You mean better than me? How is that possible?
I actually have three favorites and they all announce golf - Bob Costas, Gary McCord and David Feherty.
I love that they call it the way they see it, and each has a calm, professional manner with a lot of insight.
Golf is very slow-paced in comparison to other sports, and analysts have to fill in with meaningful comments.
Basketball, football and hockey games on TV are too fast-paced, baseball is kind of slow, but golf programming has a great pace to it and you can learn a lot by listening to good analysts. I know I do. I think these three dudes are in a class by themselves.
