Hobbies and interests
| 11 | Hobbies? |
| Wreaking havoc as an extremely capable adjutant to General Mayhem. (Ask someone at User Friendly.) | |
| 12 | Any other Hobbies? |
| Getting on peoples nerves and generally being insufferable. | |
| 13 | Is it satisfying? |
| You bet... You wont believe the amount of angst you can get rid of in this manner. | |
| 14 | Any other hobbies you plan on acquiring? |
| You bet... I am seriously taking a crash course on being paranoid and a meglomanic. Also, I would like to throw in a healthy dose of dyslexia so that people can never make out what I am tring to put across in writing. It could come in pretty useful. History will never know what to make of you. "Nothing like a good controversy to make you famous" - I say. | |
| 15 | Any nasty habits? |
| I am an incorrigible punster. Dont incorrige. |
Ambitions and plans
| 16 | What are your ambitions? |
| Well for starters, sell this corker to Microsoft for 500 Million dollars. Nope. Make that Pounds Sterling. | |
| 17 | Is that a good idea? |
| Considering the kind of antics Microsoft is upto, Insanity Unlimited would be a perfect acquistion for them. | |
| 18 | What about your share holders? |
| I don't know any. If you see them please shoot them first before calling me. | |
| 19 | Isn't that a little bit violent? |
| Never said I was above violence. Besides, it seems as if those paranoia lessons are paying off after all. |
Spirituality
| 20 | Some spiritual questions if you dont mind...? |
| You can try, but my sprit screens the questions. | |
| 21 | If today was the last day in your life, what would you miss? |
| Well, since I have lived every day as if it were my last, I would not have any regrets whatsoever. | |
| 22 | What is your opinion on growing old? |
| If you ask me, I can't understand why people slow down as they get older. It's so much less time left to live, that I'd be pushing harder to pack more and more into my time. By the time I get to be an old geezer like you, I'd be going like a maniac. | |
| 23 | Who would you say is the most influential character you have met in life? |
| Two, actually. Calvin for the outlook on life, and Hobbes for the sarcasm. | |
| 24 | I said Life. Not a cartoon. |
| Life IS a cartoon in my opinion. | |
| 25 | You are quite a character. Aren't you? |
| It takes one to know one, I guess. Besides, I'd nved be as outstanding as you. | |
| 26 | I don't like where this is going... |
| Well, IMO, you asked for it. | |
| 27 | Shouldn't that be IMHO? |
| As far as I see... There is nothing H about my O. In fact, I'd say it's pretty E.# | |
| 28 | And how far do you See? |
| I am no Seer, but I can tell you this. Keep this up and you'll probably end up chained to the modem rack with cables strung across your ... |
| Sorry, I just remembered. I am late for my trombone lesson... Shall we continue this some other time? |
| If you say so. Nice chatting with you. Though I suspect the modem rack will be disappointed at not meeting you up close and personal. |
I don't think I have seen the last of that one yet. There will be more to come... There's no dearth of interviewers on this planet.
# Translated (for the non geeks): As far as I see... There is nothing Humble about my Opinion. In fact, I'd say it's pretty Exalted.
