Troublemaker. You're just lucky I wasn't the Walrus when you hit him.

Um. Bad things happen in threes--one for each infernal head of the unholy trinity; Bob Saget, Ayn Rand, and that guy at the deli that can never get my sandwich right and always puts tomatoes on it. Misfortune is their demesne, and each commands one of the bad things in your set. The fun part is deciding which pair up.
You forget the great questions for the same reason that babies forget how to talk with animals: because God doesn't want you getting uppity, and so he toys with you in order to keep you humiliated and crushed.
The Red Green show is good because it's the colors of Christmas, and anything to do with Christmas is good. Witness the spectacular goodness of the Star Wars Holiday Special which without the Christmas (and a fifth of vodka applied judiciously) would be a steaming pile. Also, the Red Green show is Canadian.
I don't know about girls, but teenage boys want to play guitar because it's a huge metaphoric phallus. Chicks dig guitars, which may or may not have anything to do with the first part, but it does make boys want to learn.
We crave absolutes because they are, in their way, perfection--completeness and wholeness. This is the same reason we cannot achieve them. But their shiny surface draws us, regardless.
