Day Five: Interview

A couple of months ago I volunteered myself to be interviewed by Lee over at Quit your Day Job, and then when he sent me the questions I promptly ignored him. I am a bad person. In my defence I was merely saving it for a future International Week of the Meme.

So here goes.

You’re going to a fancy dress party. You have an unlimited budget. What costume do you wear? What character?
The last time I went to a fancy dress party I was ten years old and I went as Death. Unfortunately the party’s host also went as Death, and so he forced me to be Destruction instead, the swine. I was however invited to a fancy dress party just last year and was intending on going as a Ghostbuster, but I ended up having to work.

To answer the question, I’d probably go as something that befits my size and shape. Maybe Hagrid from Harry Potter, or perhaps a Gelatinous cube.

Do you believe in UFO’s and aliens?
It’s not really a topic I give much thought to, I’m too busy trying to track down bigfoot in my back garden to worry about ridiculous notions like that. If forced to come off the fence I’d say that I believe there is probably life on another planet somewhere, but I doubt very much if they are visiting us. Unless they are robots in disguise I suppose.

What has been your best experience online?
Our friendship with the Lee family is very special to both Kerry and myself. I started reading Greg’s blog about two years ago, and soon was inspired to write my own. We exchanged emails, then exchanged food parcels. Then we took the plunge and went to visit them in March and had a wonderful time. If it wasn’t for the internet I wouldn’t have met a man who has quickly become one of my best friends.

But that’s beside the point. My best experience online was that Youtube video of the monkey smelling it’s own poo.

Who are your top four Simpsons characters and what’s your favourite scene featuring them?
We’ve recently re-subscribed to satellite TV again after a year’s hiatus. This means I once again get to watch countless re-runs of the Simpsons, which can never be a bad thing. I’ve gone for quotes rather than scenes:

• Homer Simpson: “But I don’t even believe in Jebus”
• Bart Simpson: “Remember, you can always find East by staring directly at the sun”
• Ralph Wiggum: “I bent my wookie”
• Moe Szyslak: “They think they’re so high and mighty, just because they never got caught driving without pants”

Is there a TV show or Movie that you liked before everyone did?
Kerry and I watched Firefly as soon as it came out, and in the right order too as the UK Sci-Fi channel didn’t mess about with it like the US networks did. Other than that, not really. I just follow the herd like everyone else. Baaa.

So as per the meme rules, you now get the opportunity to be interviewed by me. So if you’ve always wanted to answer life’s eternal questions such as “Who would win in a fight: the Tasmanian Devil or Captain Caveman?” then let me know in the comments section.

Here’s the cut and paste bit:

Interview rules:
1. Leave me a comment saying “Interview me.”
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick the
questions.
3. You will update your blog with a post containing your the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
