| Interview With A Geek |
|
|
| Me: Tonight I have with me a very special guest. He is well known to be quite handsome. His intellect is rivaled by few, surpassed by none. All in all, he could very well be considered a king among men. In fact, I vote that we make him "king" of the world right now. Be that as it may, let me introduce tonight's most honored guest, Myself! |
|
| Me: Ah, hello Joel. It is good to see that you are still dead sexy and totally irresistible to the opposite sex. |
|
| Me: Thanks you. But perhaps we should skip the formalities. While we could sit here and compliment each other's greatness till the galaxy grows cold, and we would never repeat our selves, we should probably get on with it. |
|
| Me: Too true, too true. You are indeed a very wise man. |
|
| Me: Thank you. Now, for the first question: What have you been doing with yourself lately? |
|
| Me: A bit of this, a bit of that. I started my own web comic you know. |
|
| Me: No, I didn't. Most fascinating. What is it called? |
|
| Me: Hyperactive Fast Food Ninjas! |
|
| Me: Catchy title. |
|
| Me: I thought so. |
|
| Me: So it must be truly amazing. Well-drawn, hilarious, original. |
|
| Me: ... um... of course. Moving on. |
|
| Me: Yes, yes. Is it true that you are the greatest man alive? |
|
| Me: Now how should I answer that trick question? If I say no, then everyone will think I am being so falsely modest that I am in fact being arrogant. If I say yes, then I am straight up being arrogant. Besides, we all know the answer. |
|
| Me: How true. So is it true that you bought your roommate a stand up poster of Gandalf for her Birthday? |
|
| Me: That it is. Me and Hommie G get along quite well. |
|
| Me: You call your roommate Hommie G? |
|
| Me: What?! Not at all. I call Gandalf "Hommie G". |
|
| Me: Oh silly me. How did I make such an obvious mistake. |
|
| Me: I don't know. Frankly, I expect better from you. |
|
| Me: I am sorry to let you down. |
|
| Me: No worries. |
|
| Me: So, can you tell us a little about yourself? |
|
| Me: ... indeed |
|
| Me: I mean, for the benefit of those who are so deprived that they have never heard of you before. |
|
| Me: There are people like that in the world?! Those poor poor bastards. |
|
| Me: Aye. |
|
| Me: Well as has been covered, I am a genius and a web cartoonist. But I also write. |
|
| Me: Really? You write, as in books? |
|
| Me: Books, short stories, Epics, screen plays, normal plays, play dohs, you name it. |
|
| Me: So I am sure that half of our readers just ran to the book store and the other half are just wondering what you have written, so then they can run to the store as well. |
|
| Me: Alas, currently I have nothing published. |
|
| Me: Why not? |
|
| Me: Haven't sent much off. |
|
| Me: Oh, I see. |
|
| Me: That is good; I would hate to think that you have gone blind. |
|
| Me: That would indeed be terrible. |
|
| Me: Dear lord, look at the time. |
|
| Me: Wow, it is late. |
|
| Me: That it is. |
|
| Me: I should let you go so you can get some sleep. I am tired myself. |
|
| Me: Thank you for having me. It was an honor. |
|
| Me: Thank you for coming, it was an honor. |
