As most of you know, the person I interview, is allowed to pick the next subject to which I speak to. So should it be a surprise to well, anyone, that ANLGP decided to have GISH be the next one? Birds of a feather I suppose. Anyway, the talented graphic artist who once posted himseld right out of a 200 rep spot, was kind enough to sit down and answer a few tough questions with yours truly. The borderline sociopath showed none of the violent tendencies he is known for. Off course, he was drugged up, tied down and accompanied by two guards with billy clubs who were ready to punce at even the slightest notion of said violence. In retrospect, it all seemed a bit excessive considering that we were on different sides of the continent while conducting this interview. And speaking of which...here it is: Giggling with Gish 1. What the hell is that double s looking thing in your name? It's just another character. The most commonly used characters have their own key on the standard keyboard. Otherwise you have to hold alt and enter a 4 digit code to use them. I don't know the name of this character. But I like it, so I used it. 2. Having a rep over 200 feels great, like a true winner. Do you not agree? Funny you should ask this. Just as recently as last week, I had a rep of 200. In fact it happened twice. Then I thought I would conduct a science experiment to see the true power of my rep. The test was to see if an unstoppable force could penetrate and immovable object. I represented the unstoppable force, and the rest of the forum community represented the immovable object. By my calculations, the impact of myself with the forum community should have caused a transfer of momentum, and sent everyone else flying backwards onto their asses. Unfortunately, experiments don't always go according to plan. I forgot to account for an unknown variable. JT0323 was this unknown. When added to the other side of the equation, there was now an unstoppable force on both sides. This caused both forces to cancel out, leaving one immovable object left standing in my way. The immovable object collectively caused a shockwave in the negative direction. The end result, rep plummeted. So to answer your question, my time as a rep 200 did not make me feel like a winner, but instead the most epil failure of alltime. 3. Gun to your head, you have to choose between a burrito or pizza to eat. Which do you choose and why? Good question. It depends whats in the burrito, and whats on the pizza. Assuming they are both made to my liking, I would go with pizza. While burritos are very filling and satisfying, pizza is more fun to eat and tastes better. And pizza usually doesn't cause global warming. 4. Front row of a Jay-Z concert? Or back row of a Metallica one? 10 years ago I would have said Metallica. But I have grown to enjoy hip hop more and more over the years. At the same time I have learned to dislike Metallica at the same rate. I choose Jayz front row. More entertaining, and its the front row. If it were for a Mudvayne concert, I'd choose them though. (editor's note: The correct answer is to sell both sets of tickets and use the money to buy Dolphins tickets) Special guest question from ANLGP 5. Camels? This may come as a surprise to most of you. But I agree completely. 6. What is your favorite article of clothing? Tough question. If we're talking about articles of clothing for myself to wear, then its either a hat or socks. Both bring a great level of comfort when applied. If we're talking about articles of clothing for anyone to wear, I say bikinis. God bless the community pool!!!! 7. If you had to name your first born a name using no vowels, what would their name be? girl - nv boy - jpz 8. Which kind of but not really sport do you like the best between skydiving, waterskiing and fishing? well, since fishing is the only one i've done, it wins by default. although i do want to skydive. it would probably be to coolest thing ever. (editor's note: it is...) 9. Complete this phrase: I freaked out when I went to go pee and...? ...I realized I was standing in the middle of an ice sculpture park in fairbanks Alaska drunk out of my mind, with people staring at me. 10. Who would win in a fight, a bear or a shark? It depends who has homefield advantage. If its in shallow water or on land, I give the bear the nod. He can bite, and he has razor sharp claws. The shark can only bite, and has no legs for quick movement. If its in deep water, the shark wins because the bear must use his arms and legs to swim and cant defend himself. Too easy.
well, that changes everything. the moose is my favorite animal. they are so effing cool. im so glad i got to see one last spring in alaska.
yeah warpie...i agree....this is not on sam....the dude didnt magically lose his "funny" its the interviewees.....it needs to change...
1. neg rep'd 2. seriously??? what? sam is known for his tom brokaw interviews right? dead serious and all......damnit gish....
Guys, please stop playing with the rep system or I'll disable it for those who abuse it. Thanks in advance.
And to answer he question about it "supposed to be funny," it doesn't have to be. Sure, most of the questions border on ridiculousness, but that doesn't mean that the answers have to be. I do these for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, they are entertaining to me. Secondarily, it allows us to get to know each other a little bit better, and thirdly, no matter how the interview shapes, I know the following thread will play out one way or the other, providing even more entertainment. I mean, who can't help but laugh when all the neg rep stuff is going on, just to have Celtkin come in with a two line post, and shut everyone down? That is great stuff. So long answer short, no, it doesn't have to be funny. Gish, you did just fine.
ok so let me get this straight. FF negged OPI for telling him not to neg CELT for telling us not to be negging people. wtf is going on here!!!?
