1. What is a question that you've been asked recently and how did you respond?

My aunt asked me if I'm going to go back to school. For the first time since high school, so like eight years, I actually want to go back. I've been trying to find a job for the last six months and I'm learning that most people won't even look at me without a BA. I have an AA and it just isn't cutting it.

2. Describe one of the most frustrating moments of your life (could be real or from a dream)?

Definitely dealing with my brothers drug and legal issues while also trying to get my failed relationship back together. Nothing more frustrating than trying your best to change somebody else and yourself at the same time and succeeding with neither.

3. You can have lunch/play cards/smoke out with/watch movies/just hang out with five celebrities, who would you pick?

Tom Waits
Anthony Bourdain
Marc Maron
Paul Thomas Anderson
Bill Murray

4. Name one common musical trope that you can't stand.

The skits on hip hop albums. Never funny. I don't even like Wu-Tang ones. Luckily they have sort of died out.

5. What part of a mate do you find most attractive (physically speaking, but if you want to thumb your nose at that go ahead and talk about personality or something)?

Sense of humor. Brutal honesty. Larger than normal breasts but not bazonas. Bans that droop over the forehead but slightly to the side. Nerd but doesn't try hard to be.

6. What's something that you believe unfairly gets a bum rap?

New York City subway. People think it's dirty, loud, and full of crazy people. All true, but I love it anyway.

1. What is a question that you've been asked recently and how did you respond?

Nothing too exciting, really.

2. Describe one of the most frustrating moments of your life (could be real or from a dream)?

Just recently my car had been making some squeaking noises. I assumed it was just my rear breaks and brought it in to have it looked at it turns out there's plenty more wrong with it, not even sure if it's worth it at this point.

3. You can have lunch/play cards/smoke out with/watch movies/just hang out with five celebrities, who would you pick?

Donald Glover
Trent Reznor
Kendrick Lamar
Adrian Brody
Anna Kendrick

4. Name one common musical trope that you can't stand.

Songs titled as Intro/Interlude/Outro that add nothing to an album other than just being another song, I don't really see the point if it's not helping to tell a story.

5. What part of a mate do you find most attractive (physically speaking, but if you want to thumb your nose at that go ahead and talk about personality or something)?

I like a girl who laughs a lot, and who can be just as weird as I am.
Also ass > boobs.

6. What's something that you believe unfairly gets a bum rap?

For some reason Orange is the New Black comes to my head, probably because I was just watching it. Anyway, seems to constantly be called a "chick show" but it's actually one of the better shows going imo.

1. What is a question that you've been asked recently and how did you respond?

Do you want to fly to China to meet up with our customer at the factory?

F*CK NO!!!!

2. Describe one of the most frustrating moments of your life (could be real or from a dream)?

Ongoing. Trying to get my wife to admit that her kid is seriously messed up and needs pro help.

3. You can have lunch/play cards/smoke out with/watch movies/just hang out with five celebrities, who would you pick?

Jimmy Page
Liam Neeson
Robert De Niro
Mark Cuban
Amber Heard

4. Name one common musical trope that you can't stand.

Rap sucks.

5. What part of a mate do you find most attractive (physically speaking, but if you want to thumb your nose at that go ahead and talk about personality or something)?

The multiple curves between the waist and the butt.

6. What's something that you believe unfairly gets a bum rap?

Led Zeppelin live.

1. What is a question that you've been asked recently and how did you respond?

*via text*
Do you even know what Mona lawn means?

The stuff of Hank Hill's dreams I imagine.

2. Describe one of the most frustrating moments of your life (could be real or from a dream)?

Got drunk with a chemtrail guy last night and his arguments were so stupid that they were works of art, works of art that he would not be swayed from.

3. You can have lunch/play cards/smoke out with/watch movies/just hang out with five celebrities, who would you pick?

Pretty close to Exo's actually:

John Cage
Tom Waits
Anthony Bourdain
Hunter S. Thompson
Teddy Roosevelt

4. Name one common musical trope that you can't stand.

I've noticed that a lot of more popular bands these days use a similar type of chorus/hook that doesn't have any words but is the group singing 'whoa whoa oh oh whoa oh oh' and Jesus's holy tit balls it annoys the hell out of me.

5. What part of a mate do you find most attractive (physically speaking, but if you want to thumb your nose at that go ahead and talk about personality or something)?

Sense of humour and nice eyes really do it for me.

6. What's something that you believe unfairly gets a bum rap?

Free improvisation. It's true that the music sometimes can get pretty ugly sounding, but there's a certain beauty to it that I can see. Many people also knock it trying to say that a five year old could do it, which is technically true but still it's very rare. Far more thought goes into it than most people give it credit for.

I'm somewhat puzzled.

Are you talking about the venusian dimples?

**Frownland** · 06-13-2015, 02:00 PM

The last three of his responses kind of confuse me.

Freebase Dali · 06-13-2015, 02:00 PM

1. What is a question that you've been asked recently and how did you respond?

Q: "You ready?"
A: "Yep."

2. Describe one of the most frustrating moments of your life (could be real or from a dream)?

JIRA, which is a bug tracking system we use at work and all the devs are highly dependent on it, broke recently. I was on vacation when it happened. So, naturally, I was working remotely to try and fix it, for 3 days straight. I had exhausted any and all options for troubleshooting. The damn site would error out no matter what, with a non-descriptive unhandled exception. It was the first time at my job that I was genuinely flustered and at the end of my rope. Work wasn't getting done and all eyes were on me. So finally, I gave in and submitted a ticket to the software creators, Atlassian, and they were like "we have never seen this before". Eventually they requested the database be sent to them, and they figured out what was wrong. A user ID was marked as null... The whole time, I was thinking it was a systems issue, but it turned out to be a data issue.

Most of you guys may not appreciate or understand just how bad troubleshooting can be when it's a data issue.

3. You can have lunch/play cards/smoke out with/watch movies/just hang out with five celebrities, who would you pick?

Five Gilbert Gottfrieds.

4. Name one common musical trope that you can't stand.

"I like all music, except for country and rap."

5. What part of a mate do you find most attractive (physically speaking, but if you want to thumb your nose at that go ahead and talk about personality or something)?

Face. But if you have an inverted butt, your face is not going to salvage the attraction.

6. What's something that you believe unfairly gets a bum rap?

Hip Hop songs about the badunk.

He meant "trope" in the sense of cliché/prejudice.
And there are people who say that LZ kinda suck live, if I remember correctly they are mostly talking about Plant's singing.

~~Cuthbert~~ · 06-13-2015, 02:06 PM

1. What is a question that you've been asked recently and how did you respond?

"Alright pal?"

"Yeah sound mate"

2. Describe one of the most frustrating moments of your life (could be real or from a dream)?

Arsenal 4 - 0 Aston Villa

Recent one and off the top of my head.

3. You can have lunch/play cards/smoke out with/watch movies/just hang out with five celebrities, who would you pick?

Mike Skinner - Just cos we're from the same area, have a lot in common and I like his music

Christian Benteke - Would ask him not to leave

Mila Kunis - Comes across as a nice person, #bants galore

Wiley -

Nigel Farage - I don't agree with UKIP, but Big Nige is quite funny tbh

4. Name one common musical trope that you can't stand.

Putting albums out on iTunes but not physically. If I'm forking out I want something that exists outside of my hard drive thank you very much.

5. What part of a mate do you find most attractive (physically speaking, but if you want to thumb your nose at that go ahead and talk about personality or something)?

Feet can make or break a woman for me. Well looked after feet that are smaller than mine (I'm a 7/8 European) are nice. I don't like big feet. Reminds me of gammon.

I like legs as well (particularly calves). And Arses.

6. What's something that you believe unfairly gets a bum rap?

Rimming.
