Interview #02

Here’s the second installment of Blogger Insider. My Interviewer/Interviewee this week is the talented Dave Hill of Dave Does the Blog. Check out his site to see his answers to my questions.

1. What book do you really think you *should* read, but haven’t yet? Why haven’t you? Will you, ever?

   The Kama Sutra. I haven’t read it yet because I feel inadequate enough in bed as it is and I don’t need to have my lack of manhood confirmed by a 1,700 year-old book. HoBiscuits nightly laughter and finger pointing is quite enough to demoralize my amorous moods and deflate my need to procreate, thank you very much. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go to my room and cry.

2. If you could draw or paint like any single artist, past or present, who would you choose?

   That’s a tough one. I guess it all depends on your idea of ‘artist’. Since I’m a big anime fan, I’d have to go with one of the great anime artists like Fujishima Kosuke (creator of the amazing Oh! My Goddess) or Rumiko Takahashi (creator of my favorite series ever Ranma ½). If you meant an acclaimed artist of museum-type artwork like Picasso or Rembrandt, then I might go with Leonardo da Vinci, because not only was he a great artist, but he was also an inventor, sculptor, writer, philosopher and genius. Everything I’m not.

3. What music being composed today, if any, do you think will still be listened to in 100 years?

   Polka. No matter how many times we think we’ve killed it, that damn music never seems to die.

4. If you were unable to answer these questions, whom would you choose to do so for you?

   Mr. Hentai. And if he ever gets up off his lazy behind and starts his own Web Log, then you’ll all understand why. Hear that, Numbnuts? I’m calling you out, bee-yatch. Get to work before I slap you upside the head with a week-old dead fish and lock you in a kitty-kennel with 1,000 starving, rabid cats.

5. Sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing. Which one would you least want to lose?

   Sight. I like to watch. Heh, heh, heh.

6. Predestination or free will? Use both sides of the paper, if necessary.

   Free will. If my life was preordained then someone would have a lot to answer for. You hear me up there? That’s right, I’m talkin’ to you mister!

7. You’ve been banished by the Time Police to a different era in history, no later than 1901 BCE? When and where would you want them to set you down, with only the clothes on your back?

   Silicon Valley California, 1876. I’d do everything I could to buy as much land as possible and make sure my future self would inherit it all after my 18th birthday. I’d also copyright and/or patent words and things like processor, dot com, hyperlink, internet, compact disc, computer, operating system, telephone and the paper clip. Hah! I’d be so rich that I could buy my way out of getting sent back in time the first time and then spend the rest of my life spending money! Put that in your pipe and smoke it, you Time Police pansies. Oh, and I’d also make a little trip to Washington State and buy up all the land that Bill Gates’ house will one day occupy. Windows XP my left nut. Want a new XPerience? Try eviction.

8. What’s your favorite comic strip?

   Don’t know. I don’t read comic strips. The Far Side, maybe? Sometimes I like Dilbert, but that’s only because I’m a Geek and I enjoy identifying with another complete loser. If you really meant comic book, then I’d have to say the Spider-Man titles from the early 90’s. You know, before the idiocy of Venom?

9. Coffee, tea, or milk?

   Milk. I don’t drink coffee and to me tea always smelled like wet tree bark. And if you must be technical, then I choose hot chocolate milk. Hot chocolate is like god’s hot, sweet tears of joy in a cup made especially for me. Oh man, now I need a cup of hot chocolate. See what you did?

10. Why “Blogger Insider”?

    It sounded interesting and I thought it would be fun. I also hoped that it would help me find interesting people out there that I might never have stumbled across otherwise. So far everything’s going to plan and I’m happy I joined up. I can’t think of anything funny to say right now, so add your own witty remark about Bloggers and Blogging here.
