Thanks man. You are a cool. I’ll hit you up if we’re ever down under.

Yup, love it. Have to do it in moderation due to being a dad. It certainly helped me in the Florida situation described above.

It was pretty, but the culture was kind of shitty I thought. I also couldn’t stand my job at the TV station and how much it affected my life when a hurricane formed. Didn’t hate it, but 7 tears was waaay to long. We moved back home to TX when we had our baby and I’m very happy here.

ah i didn't realize you were here for that long.

Really, how so?

Have you seen his Crazy Horse concert film?

It's basically one long interview with a barefoot Iggy in his laundry room recounting a sanitized story of the Stooges and of course he leaves out all the dirty details and truth.

It just seemed really lazy and not very interesting at all. It's an illustrated wikipedia entry.

I've head the "new album" it's on... wasn't a big fan of it compared to their other stuff. Is there another version of Luna?

Are violence and competition essential aspects of human existence or could we one day evolve beyond them?

This is kind of a semantic knot of a question. You'd have to agree on definitions of violence, competition, essential, aspects, "human existence", and "evolve beyond"

Humans are nothing more than animals. Advanced animals, but still animals. Check out British philosopher John Gray's STRAW DOGS for a good examination of this concept and futility of "progress".

But to simply answer your question, we will not evolve beyond violence and competition unless we become some kind of passive cyborgs. We can drastically reduce them through humanitarian constructs though. We're doing a pretty fucking shitty job of it currently, though violence, poverty and hunger actually have reduced drastically as time as progressed.

What do you teach? (you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but I was curious)

What is the best and worst purchases you’ve ever made?

What’s a body part that you wouldn’t mind losing?

If you had access to trying human flesh no questions asked and no legal repercussions, would you try it?

Teaching:
I teach AP (Advanced Placement) Language and Composition to Juniors (3rd year of high school, 16-17 year olds). It's like upper-level English that you can get college credit for. Lots of reading and writing. Rhetorical analysis, argument, synthesis, etc.

Purchases:
Best: hospital bills for my daughter; computer for pirating movies and music and comics
Worst: I have over-bought comic books and graphic novels to a startling amount. I've slowed a lot but it was an obsession for many years. I have a shitload of books too but I'm cool with those, just wish I hadn't bought so many comics. We have a lot of Ikea bookshelves in our house... luckily we got a good deal on a big house.

Body part:
Wouldn't mind losing my fuckin' gut haha!!!

Human flesh:
if it's properly prepared, sure why not?

As in, they've had it explained to them that Turdlion is keen for a feed and that's just the way she goes?

new album is pretty weak (as are the other two they released that year) but it has some awesome songs on it. like luna. and i saw them on the 2011 hope tour so it is special.

have you ever seen boris live? if yes pls describe ty.

in all scenarios that follow, let’s assume you have footwear with superb grip and so slipping or losing your footing is not an issue. perhaps like track spikes or cleats on a sufficiently grippy surface. also let’s assume you are wearing a nice protective helmet

now, what if there were a series of 15 foot tall, 10 foot wide, 1 foot thick panels composed only of the red material in a watermelon, and they were spaced 10 feet apart. with a running head start, how many panels do you think you could run through before coming to a stop?

how about if the panels were only 3 feet apart?

how about if the panels were only 2 inches thick and were 3 feet apart, how manu panels could you run through before coming to a stop?

and if the two inch thick panels were 10 feet apart, how many could you run through before coming to a stop?

please assume that there are enough panels that you could never run out or reach the end. the series continues forever

[wHATcOLOR]

do you feel like becoming a parent has made you into a better person than you were before parenthood?

[wHATcOLOR]

how high can you jump?

[wHATcOLOR]

del

[wHATcOLOR]

i feel uncomfortable with that last question, please disregard it

[wHATcOLOR]

to be clear, i mean the question i deleted, not the question about how high you can jump. i am comfortable with that one

[wHATcOLOR]

how FAR can you jump?
