| By: Preston Howard |
| Preston: Okay... Alexander Early, let us see what we have to ask you today... Preston: Why did you quit track? Alexander: Due to conflicting priorities. Preston: Okay... What is it about causing sticks to die that makes you so happy? Alexander: It's fun. Preston: Do you ever break popcicle sticks for the fun of it? Alexander: Of course. Preston: Does it have anything to do with your uhh... animations? Do you just do it for the fun of it? Alexander: Of course it has nothing to do with my animations. Preston: Do you do it just for the fun of it? Do you see the sticks as living things when you break them? Alexander: No. Preston: Tell me something about Talley that only you know. Alexander: ...Everybody knows everything about Talley, so there is nothing that I know. Preston: Fair enough. Do you sing in the shower and if so, which songs do you sing? Alexander: I reserve singing for out of the shower. Preston: Have you ever lit a fart on fire? Alexander: I can't say that I have. Preston: Well you shouldn't do that, it's dangerous, you can burn your inards. Preston: Okay, what is the grossest thing you have ever eaten? Alexander: ... ... ... ... ... (thinking) ... ... I would say dog food when I was little. Preston: What is the lowest grade you have ever gotten in a class? And not assignment grade, I'm talking about a semester grade. Alexander: ... B Preston: What do you think of Logan? Alexander: He's a cool guy. Preston: I must say that that is the exact opposite of what Talley said. Preston: What is your favorite food? Alexander: Hmm... ... ... (thinking)... ... Fettucine alfredo with chicken. Preston: That sounds good. Logan: Did you do that on a typewriter? Preston: No, I did that in NotePad(r). Preston: Do you like cheese? Alexander: Yes, I like cheese. Preston: What is your favorite milk producing farm animal? Logan: How many are there? Alexander: A goat. Logan: Have you ever had goat's milk? Logan: Would a Human count as a farm animal? Preston: ...Yeah, sure, why not. Humans work on farms Logan: What about a cat? Cats produce milk. Preston: Yes they do. Logan: Oh... I have a story. My neighbor's cat impregnated it's mother and she had it's kittens. Preston: I hear banjo music. Alexander: ha ha ha ha Logan: ha ha ha ha Preston: ha ha ha ha Alexander: Were they all screwed up? Logan: No, I thought that they would all have like three legs or somthing, but they do seem retarded. Preston: Are there any philosophical significances to sticks dying? Alexander: ...could be that I'm a psycho and want to kill everybody, but that's not the case. Preston: Yeah, we already have one of those... I'm referring to Talley of course. Preston: If you were the last person alive on the face of the earth, what would be the first thing you would do? Alexander: ...I would kill myself. Preston: Ha Ha Ha! OOH... I love the irony in that! Preston: If you had a time machine, what time period would you go to and why? Alexander: ... I would go into the future so I couldn't screw anything up. Preston: Tell me the highest number known to mankind. Logan: 49 Alexander: 1 divided by 0. Preston: Can you guess the ingredients in rootbeer? Alexander: Roots and beer. Preston: Okay, what is the "root" refering to? What root? Alexander: Some root of some herb. Preston: I actually have the answer to that, you know what root it is? Alexander: Waht? Preston: Ginger. Alexander: Oh. Preston: Describe yourself as you see yourself. Alexander: 16 year old male. Preston: You mean there is no other depths to you or... Alexander: Red hair... Alexander: ...and smart. People think I'm smart for some reason. Preston: Do you consider yourself to be cool? Alexander: Yes. Preston: Is there something you would like to say to all of the people out there who enjoy your animations? Alexander: Don't keep your hopes up. |

This interview took place in the lunch room during lunch at my school. Logan Jones joined in about half way through the interview and he can be found commenting in the interview below. |
