| Logan Jones Interview |
 |
| On 5-9-02, I sat down with Logan Jones (Co-founder and current maintainer of the Talley Fan Site, and web master of LoganWorld.com) and interviewed him for about a half an hour. Logan is a cool guy, you should go to his website. As usual with my interviews there are a few interjections made by people who walk by as Logan and I were talking. Interjections in this interview are made by: Matt Naylor, Erika Romo, and Alexander Early. Anyway, I'll let the interview speak for itself. |
| Preston: Logan Jones, what do you do on the weekends? Logan: Sit, eat, sleep. Preston: Regarding Mr. Radler's statement that you need to get a life, do you? Logan: ...do I need to get a life...(thinking)...Where would I get a life from? Preston: I don't know Logan: No, I do not need a life. Preston: ...ok... Logan: You mean a new life. Preston: A new life? Or just a life? Logan: I have a life Preston: You have a life Logan: Do I need a new life? Preston: I don't know... What does your life consist of? Logan: Sit, eat, sleep. Preston: Sit, eat, sleep. Logan: Go to school. Preston: Go to school. Tell me the story of the Talley Fan Site's birth. Logan: oo, that's a long one. Preston: Well, don't be too descriptive then. Logan: Ok, 7th grade I was taking pictures of things, and Talley was the funniest thing, and then in Freshman year, I had nothing better to do, because I don't have a life see. I didn't have a life then either. And then I found these pictures on a disk from 7th grade and they were really crappy, and so I decided to make a website. Preston: Uh... Logan: And then it evolved from there. Preston: What got you started in making all of those doctered pictures you make? Logan: Seeing the pictures people were making of Osama Bin Laden with Bert. Preston: Bert? Logan: uh huh. Preston: Oh yeah. ha ha ha. Do you play any musical instruments? Logan: um, piano, kinda. I mean, I haven't played for a while, but, I do. Preston: uh.. What do you think of yourself? Logan: I don't think. Preston: Ok, uhh... If you weren't you, would you be friends with you? Logan: If I weren't me... If I were who? Preston: Just anyone but you. Logan: Anyone? Preston: Anyone. Logan: Let's see, Let's take how many friends I have, over the world population. And the chances of someone else knowing me, and then take the chances of someone else liking me... ummmm... No. Preston: No? Logan: No Preston: What compelled you to get your own domain? Is there something wrong with Geocities? Logan: Easier to remember... It's cooler. Preston: Cooler. Logan: Would you rather remember www.geocities.com/talleyfan or www.loganworld.com? Preston: Good point Logan: HEY LOOK! It's a red-headed Matt! Red-headed Matt! Matt: Yes. I'm reporting to the Red-headed Matts' society. Preston: This isn't the Red-headed Matts' society. Logan: Ask me a question about the Red-headed Matts' society! Preston: ...Ok...uhh. What is the Red-headed Matts' society? Logan: The Red-headed Matts' society is a society where umm... Erika: There a couple red-headed Matts Logan: Yes, there's three. Erika: Cool Logan: You haven't noticed that yet? Logan: See, how I figured this is, just in Durham alone there's 3 red-headed Matts! So then that made me think, how many red-headed Matts could there be in the world, there's got to be tons of red-headed Matts in the world, so, and then after that I figured, well, 2 of them have the initials M.M. and one of them is M.N. It's kinda like the red-headed Matts' society would have conventions where all the red-headed Matts get together, but all the red-headed Matts live all over the world, so they can't really get together in one central location. So I think it would probably be an internet based society. And I labelled the red-headed Matts in Durham, uhhm.. Matt Naylor is Matt 1, Matt McLaughlin is Matt 2, and Matt Merrit is Matt 3. And it's descrimination because if your name's not Matt and you're not red-headed, you can't join, including me, I can't be a member. Unless I changed my name... well, unless I dyed my hair, but it wouldn't work. Preston: What is your favorite form of American currency? Logan: Oh, wow that's hard... Does it have to be one that is being used right now? Preston: No, it doesn't have to. Logan: ...umm...(thinking)...Probably...(thinking more)...How do you come up with these hard questions? Preston: I think it's when I sitting there smoking pot. Alexander: Wait, what's the question? Preston: What is your favorite form of American currency? Alexander: That's interesting. Logan: Well, let's see, uuuh...coins...coins are funner to destroy...but...paper is worth more. So I'm gonna have to say... A mis-printed $100 bill. Preston: A mis-printed $100 bill. Logan: uh huh, that would be worth more than a hundred dollars. Preston: If you were a president of the United States, which one would you be and why? Logan: ... Preston: Out of all the presidents we have had. Logan: ...um... I only know like 2 of them, next question. Preston: ha ha, you only know 2?!? Logan: Well, wait, let me see, I don't know all of them, so it would really be fair. I wouldn't wanna be George W. Bush because he is stupid, I wouldn't wanna be Clinton because alot of people hate him, so probably like uhh... Abraham Lincoln. Preston: Abraham Lincoln. Ha ha ha Logan: Or maybe Kennedy, but he gets killed so... Preston: But so does Abraham Lincoln. Logan: aarghh! So does that mean I get killed? Preston: No, it just means which one you are most like. Logan: OH! I'm not like any of them. Preston: Which one do you think you are MOST like? Logan: Ok, maybe Clinton. Preston: Maybe Clinton. ha ha Logan: Maybe Clinton because uhh, I don't know... Maybe I'm like Bush because I'm stupid sometimes, but I don't mis-pronounce words as much as he does. That's more like Talley. Preston: Yes. If you were President, would you fund my plan to make a tree that dances all by itself? Logan: How much does it cost? Preston: Millions. Logan: What's the benefit? Preston: You get trees that dance all by themselves. Logan: Definately. Preston: sweet. Logan: And are the tax-payers paying for it? Preston: Oh yeah! Logan: Even better! Preston: ha ha ha Logan: ha ha ha Preston: What is your favorite food? Logan: Does it have to be one favorite food? Preston: uhh, it doesn't have to be one but... Logan: everything that's bad for you. |
