* Favorite Beatle?
Paul. i'm a sucker for pop, and i love his voice.

* Last Book Read?
Gravity's Rainbow by Pynchon (and two companion books)

* Last Movie You Saw in Theaters?
Children of Men

* Favorite Sexual Position?
doggy

* What drugs have you done?
booze, pot, nicotine. xanax, percocet and vicodin for medical reasons.

* What Drugs Do you want to do?
none thanks.

* Who was your teenage celebrity crush growing up?
leo dicaprio. i know i'm pathetic.

* Favorite Bill Murray Film?
tie. Lost in Translation is as poignant as Stripes is funny.

* Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck?
GREAT question. my dad and i (both longtime warner bros. junkies) have debated this many times and we always settle on Daffy. these are
two great characters, and they're especially great together. but daffy's always the initiator, he's the one on edge, unpredictable. bugs' hilarity tends to stem from his complete control of the situation, which is cool and funny in its own right, but i lean toward daffy's complete lack of control and ability to fly off in so many fanatical directions with the slightest push or the flimsiest of pretexts. Daffy's comic range is much greater than Bugs'. I love em
both so much and hate to choose, but i gotta say Daffy.

* Favorite Drink?
water. lame eh? alkyhol would be Guinness and Saranac Summer Ale.

* What's the best sitcom of all time?
gotta say seinfeld. scrubs and arrested development a close second.

never given road head. be fun to do that.

plane.

* What is your favorite Velvet Underground album?
Such a close one, but White Light/White Heat beats the debut by a nose.

* Favorite word?
never thought about it. "Kiss" i guess.

* Favorite kids' book?
i guess i have to say Where the Red Fern Grows, and yes i cried like a baby. Maniac Magee was also a fav.

I'm terrible at these things but I'll give it a shot:

1. John, He had great hair.

2. Akhenaten Dweller in truth by Naguib Mahfouz

3. Dead Silence, fucking awful.

4. doggy.

5.Pot, coke, mushrooms, mdma, acid, and alcohol.

6. I think I've hit my limit.

7. This one's tough, There were too many to count. Mostly Grant Hill, but there was a long Vince Vaughn/Leo stint too. And Johnny Depp has been My biggest celeb cruch since I was like 8 so there's that too...

8. If Little shop of Horrors doesn't count, then I say The royal tenenbaums.

9. This is a tough call, because Those are my two favorite Loony Tunes characters. If i'm forced to choose, I have to go with Bugs, I like his style. Daffy always kind of seemed like a characature of some bumbling fool black person. That said, I still think he's hillarious. Does that make me an uncle tom?

10. Vernors ginger ale

11. This is another really tough one, but I may have to go with Arrested development. Soap's a close second though.

12. My rooftop, You can see all of New york, it's beautiful.

13. Faith ann 143 st. Doesn't work too well I know.

14. Hillarious.

15. Paint it black

16. Does Batman count? Cause he doesn't really have superpowers. Otherwise spiderman's pretty cooI I guess.

17. I don't know.The bible I guess.

18. Yay all day.

19. Plane, hands down.

20. Idon't know enough albums to pick.

21. Yes. (although Dean is right up there too. Lame but true)

22. Eloise

23. Luxurious inc. It just sounds good.

• Favorite Beatle?
Paul McCartney. Yeah he’s embarrassing now…like really horribly embarrassing now, but whenever he sings “Hey Jude” he wins me back.
• Last Book Read
Real book that I completed: The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz
Comic Book that I completed: Bizarre New World #1 by Skipper Martin & Christopher Provencher
• Last Movie You Saw in Theaters
Grindhouse
• Favorite Sexual Position?
Reverse Cowgirl
• What drugs have you done?
Pot, nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, LSD, ecstasy, shrooms, Ambien, Opium, and a controlled substance known as “Alpha”
• What Drugs Do you want to do?
I’m all set at the moment.
• Who was your teenage celebrity crush growing up?
Kelly Kapowski & Neve Campbell (party of five, anyone?)
• Favorite Bill Murray Film?
(Tie) Groundhog Day & The Life Aquatic
• Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck?
Daffy all the way.
• Favorite Drink?
NonAlcoholic – Cherry Coke
Alcoholic – Pina Colada (yes, I would never order it, but they are delicious. Suck it)
• What’s the best sitcom of all time?
Despite all of the pain it’s done to me recently, there were some pretty great times with The Simpsons. With ubiquitous quotes popping up from it all of the time, acting like a universal short hand in ways Seinfeld never can, The Simpsons was able to parody so much and create wholly original forms of hilarity.
• Name one unusual place that you want to have sex. Why there?
On the balcony of some Manhattan sky rise. I dunno, it seems diabolical.
• What would your porn name be? (first pet + first street you lived on)
Muffin Farrar…that just sucks.
• Kicks to the Groin: Funny or Not Funny at all?
Assuming they’re random and nonlethal – hilarious. If they’re predicted and/or lethal? Still hilarious.
• Favorite song by The Rolling Stones?
”Thru and Thru” & “Gimme Shelter”
• Who’s your favorite super hero (Spidey week in NYC, 4/30-5/6!)?
We all know this is an incredibly hard question so I will break it down:
a) To read? Tie between Invincible and Spiderman
2) Best powers? Probably Superman, cuz he can do a shit-ton of stuff
iii) Coolest hero I’d like to be? Batman
• How often do you watch porn?
It probably averages out to about once a week. Although I don’t really watch it, but instead just use it as a type of springboard to get my mind in the proper, disgusting mood.
• Most distinguished/pompous book you’ve read
Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace
• Prince: Yay or Nay?
Yay, with some occasional Nay moments (Carmen Electra’s rap career, anybody?)
• Would you rather have a boat or a plane?
A boat.
• What is your favorite Velvet Underground album?
The Velvet Undergound (third album)
• Favorite word?
Scrumptious or onomatopoeia

Real Young: Runaway Bunny
Young: Castle in the Attic
• Name of the company you would start is:
Neurotic Monkey Productions

Favorite Beatle?
I think George. I like that he was sort of the quiet Beatle. Also he wrote a couple of my favorite songs by them. Though I can really admire Lennon and I like the quote in the film “The US vs. John Lennon,” when he says, “If I can get my name in the paper with the word ‘peace’ underneath it, why not?”

Last Book Read
Started reading “The Unbearable Lightness of Being.” Stopped ½ way through. Now reading “The No-Asshole Rule.” I like it much better.

Last Movie You Saw in Theaters:
Blades of Glory.

Favorite Sexual Position?
Depends on my mood.

What drugs have you done?
If mother nature made it, then she wants me to have it. Otherwise it’s not for me.

What Drugs Do you want to do?
More from mother nature’s stash.

Who was your teenage celebrity crush growing up?
I didn’t really crush on celebrities. I can’t think of anyone that I crushed on for more than 2 seconds before getting distracted by something else.

Favorite Bill Murray Film?
Probably Rushmore. Though I always use the line “so I’ve got that goin’ for me.”

Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck?
Bugs. Daffy would often become redundant. Plus Bugs played both sides so well.

Favorite Drink?
Alcoholic: Lemon Drop. Non-alcoholic: either Mo’Beta by Odwalla or Peach Oolong Tea by Honest Teas.

What’s the best sitcom of all time?
Family ties is up there for me. But I show love for the Cosby Show because I grew up with it. But I don’t find the later shoes as easily re-watchable as any Family Ties episode.

Name one unusual place that you want to have sex. Why there?
Semi-public. It would be fun.

What would your porn name be? (first pet + first street you lived on)
Petunia Echo

Kicks to the Groin: Funny or Not Funny at all?
Funny.

Favorite song by The Rolling Stones?
I don’t know many of their songs honestly. I like “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” but that might be tied into my really liking The Big Chill.

Who’s your favorite super hero (Spidey week in NYC, 4/30-5/6!)?
Batman. Though I have love for Wolverine, Gambit and Beast.

How often do you watch porn?
Rarely.

Most distinguished/pompous book you’ve read
The Unbearable Lightness of Being. I haven’t read more than ½ way through but I keep feeling like so many people that read it attach so much significance to it and I just don’t know that this book is THAT groundbreaking and amazing and life changing. So far it’s just a story and it hasn’t made me alter my life view, despite its title and underlying eagerness to do so.

Prince: Yay or Nay?
I don’t listen to his music but I give him respect.

Would you rather have a boat or a plane?
Boat. I don’t want to learn how to fly. If I didn’t have to fly it, then maybe plane, cause I hate recirculated air with the general public. I don’t trust them at all. But boat would be mad fun more often then a plane. A plane would be convenient more than anything else.

What is your favorite Velvet Underground album?
No idea.

Favorite word?
Right now: crap, like Eddie Izzard, “That was such a crap joke.” Longtime favorite: twat. My slogan right now is “You don’t have to be an asshole.”

Favorite kids’ book?
The Bunnicula series. Or books by Ronald Dahl.

Name of the company you would start is:
Don’t know yet for either.
