Other questions that I would have liked to ask him included "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?" and "Does Marty MacNeal know that you guys are good friends?" I also had one involving two trains leaving the station at the same time at different speeds, but that was designed to see if I could get his little head to explode.

• So what's the problem with Grant's kids seeing the shirt?  Do they have a fruit allergy?  Was one of them caught up in the great Peach flood of 2003?  They'd probably think "Hey! It's a shirt with my Dad on it!" and be excited.  

• Correct me if I'm wrong, but the guy NEVER ASKED if the money was going to charity.  He went from zero to "You'll hear from my attorney" faster than "freakin' idiot" leaves his peachy face.  I'm sure TZ would be willing to provide receipts.  This explanation doesn't hold water.

• Section 214 - I think you may have misunderstood what your father said.  I think it may actually have been: "When you're an a-hole, stop digging," which applies perfectly to this situation.  You might double-check with him on that one.

• After listening to Peachosaurus Rex for 10 years, I feel qualified to answer the question "What kind of tree would you be?" in his stead: "I truly wonder if you know anything about Dendorology based on your observations.  I know more about trees than anyone else in the market.  When you live in a tree for 7 months a year you know what's going on. Some people have a problem with that, but they don't have a clue to what they're talking about. They always think they know what's going on with the trees, but in reality they don't.  You want to do an interview with me and you have opinions, but you don't have your own arboretum?  It's pointless for me to continue answering your questions. You're not very well informed which i gathered from your previous questions.  Have you ever asked yourself why a pine tree doesn't lose its needles in the winter?  Of course not, because you don't think on your own.  You're like a lot of people who think they know what they're talking about, but when you take a little time and ask questions you realize you really aren't very well informed."

• Finally, TZ is right that the name "Peaches" ...MAKE ...Rant ...SMASH!  Because I am an incorrigible child:
  

If you don't like that, you don't like NBA Basketball.

"Napes" sent me a C&D for the same reason he reportedly went stone-faced at first glance of Muff's shirt and the same reason he shut down Jerry when it made "Images of the Game" -- because the nickname Peaches makes him angry.

I called back and played stupid and asked if I had been disconnected. The phone screener said "Did you call him Peaches? That's why he hung up on you."

Peaches should be far more concerned about what his two young boys would think if they Google his name and find that the most read article about their father starts out Grant Napier, And The Stick Up His Ass.

Barry Bonds sends a cease and desist letter to someone selling t-shirts for charity with his face on the front. He threatens to involve his attorney if the t-shirt sale is not halted immediately.

When asked about his reaction, Bonds states that he is concerned about his children. When contacted by the creator of the t-shirts he is churlish and rude. When asked about the incident a day later he changes his story, stating that he and his likeness have been the victim of charity scams in the past, but at no time did he / does he make an effort to confirm the validity of this present cause.

This instantly becomes the #1 story on the KHTK "Top Five At Five," where Grant Napear and Mike Lamb discuss the top stories of the day.

How do you think Grant handles this story?
