QUESTION: I'm in a contemplative mood. It all started with a gift a relative gave to everyone in the family. It was a faux rock with one word inscribed on the surface. She said that the word was how she would describe the receiver. With a few exceptions, everyone had a different word to describe a person. So, Mike & all the MB'ers: what would be written on your rock?

Now for my lingering DJ/Mike questions of 2007: Do you and the crew exchange gifts? Did Dave ever provide you with a final count for the number of DJs with you sans shirt? It seems like 2007 was rough physically for you. Have you fully recovered from your ailments? Do you guys jump right back into filming DJ in January, or are you tied up with Deadliest Catch duties? I read in another thread that DJ Season 2 is coming to DVD shortly. Do you get a copy of every show you do? If so, do you get extras to give away as gifts? Do you still read every single thing posted in your Mud Room? Anymore "fatboy rider" moments when you just logged off rather than post something you might regret later? Are you a proponent of drinking and posting?

ANSWER: My rock would say "Thanks." It would not however, be a "faux" rock.

* Do you and the crew exchange gifts?
All year long.

* Did Dave ever provide you with a final count for the number of DJs with you sans shirt?
No. Then again, I have not personally been expecting that information.

* It seems like 2007 was rough physically for you. Have you fully recovered from your ailments? Do you guys jump right back into filming DJ in January, or are you tied up with Deadliest Catch duties?
I haven't been 100 percent since episode 1. This season was no worse than the last, but for the fact that I have another year on the odometer. Things hurt, but I can't blame the show entirely. Yesterday, in Baltimore County, I tripped while jogging. Shoe came untied, and I went down like a cheap card table. Now I'm scabby and limping. Again. As for Alaska, the plan is to head up around the 14th and shoot a look-back special for Catch. Still waiting to see if it's a go. If it is, I'd like to stick around and find some some dirt. God knows, there's plenty up there. I think it might be interesting for fans of both shows to get a sense of the Dirt Behind the Danger. We'll see.

* I read in another thread that DJ Season 2 is coming to DVD shortly. Do you get a copy of every show you do? If so, do you get extras to give away as gifts?
I've never given anything with my name or face as a gift.

* Do you still read every single thing posted in your Mud Room?
Not every single thing. Because it's now a "Mud Room" and not a specific "Ask Mike," I no longer assume every post is a question meant for me. Which is clearly the case. Like most everyone else here, I look for threads or conversations that catch my interest. The dramatic stuff is easier to ignore than contemplate.

* Anymore "fatboy rider" moments when you just logged off rather than post something you might regret later?
I live in a constant state of mild regret.

* Are you a proponent of drinking and posting?
Sure. I've been typing with one hand for years.
