Email the desirable and enigmatic Ms Boot any burning question for her and, so long as it piques her interest, she'll reply and your question and her answer will be posted on this page.
QMQ: Do you think that it's possible that there is a Demon of Photocopiers?
MB: I'd say it's inevitable. Given the amount of times you hear mutterings such as "Damn Photocopier!" I'm surprised that it hasn't actually manifested yet.
QMQ: What are you drinking?
MB: Tequila.
QMQ: What are you up to now?
MB: Collecting ladders. Ultimately, I'd like to own my own ladder shop.
QMQ: We hear you're appearing in a Quentin Tarantino film...
MB: Yep, it's called "Jam & Scones." Could be a corker.
QMQ: So, what's with the pink hair?
MB: It seemed like a good idea at the time. Besides, it matches the pogo-stick and light saber.
QMQ: What were you expecting from life?
MB: I was expecting a small, shiny pebble. I've got that, so everything since then has been a pleasant surprise.
QMQ: If you were a politician, what laws would you change?
MB: The laws of time and space. The law that allows John Howard to be Prime Minister of Australia for even one more day. The law of alphabetical order (if there's one). That damnable speed limit of 50 - let's start with at least 70! Er, how many can I change?
QMQ: That's probably enough.
MB: Damn.
QMQ: And what would you like to see banned?
MB: Reality TV.
QMQ: Be honest - how old are you?
MB: Physically: 78. Mentally: 8. Cynically: 400.
QMQ: Have you ever considered writing a book?
MB: Yes, vaguely... but honestly, considering the wealth of talented writers out there, why pollute the literary world with my own half-hearted attempts? I guess a coffee-book wouldn't be a pollution of the literary world, since they're only for looks. Maybe one about ladders and sundials?
QMQ: Any plans for the tour yet?
MB: Well, obviously I'll need a lot of purple smurfs and hair gel. A llama or two would be nice also.
QMQ: What's the best music act in the world today?
MB: Today? [Ms Boot grimaces] That's a tough one. Let's say "as at this minute - knowing if I got asked again in another minute it would change." Renee Geyer. She does things with her voice that I'm sure humans shouldn't be able to do.
QMQ: What's your motivation for writing songs?
MB: Probably the fact that after all these years I'm still upright, breathing and walking. And I don't look like Iggy Pop.
QMQ: Do you have any interesting scars?
MB: Are we talking mental or physical?
QMQ: Whichever you like.
MB: Yes, definitely on both counts. I wouldn't be without them, to be honest. Everytime I look at them I can't help but think "whoops, don't do that again."
QMQ: So, what's the most interesting physical scar?
MB: The ones on my eyes. They're great for grossing out people.
QMQ: Do you believe in astrology?
MB: [Ms Boots snorts derisively] Only in the sense that you can look it up in a dictionary. You know - the word 'astrology' really does exist.
QMQ: So, you're the master of your own destiny?
MB: I'd like to be, however, whenever I attempt to plan or think ahead it just seems to spiral out of my control. So, now I just don't.
QMQ: Have you ever offended your mum?
MB: Yep. It's amazingly easy. Take one egg, add a pinch of salt and a grain of truth. Et voila!
QMQ: Do you know any jokes?
MB: I quite like this one. I read it in a primary school newsletter ages ago: How many ears has Captain Kirk got?
QMQ: I don't know. How many?
MB: Three: a left ear, a right ear and a final frontier!
QMQ: That's pretty awful...
MB: I know, but if I told you a good one, I'd be getting it back via email within the space of week.
QMQ: You claim things just happen to you. Is that true? Like what?
MB: I don't know. Stuff. Stuff just happens.
QMQ: Any last requests?
MB: That life were more surreal. It might make people think.

Fire away!
Due to spam engines now having becoming smart enough to grab email addresses that have been entered right to left (backwards) and simply displayed as left to right (right way around), I am removing email addresses from this website. I will pass on any emails to other contributors and you can email me at name of site at site domain (that's the web address after the www.), if you understand what that means. Apologies if it's too cryptic for you.
From time to time Ms Boot may also contribute events to the Bored Now and friendly spam sections of this website.
