2002.02.05 seven questions with greg bennett:

how many times have you bitched out on seven questions, greg? why?
17.4
that only answers the first part, champ…
because i'm not witty enough, my banter can't compare with the others of the 7 question legacy. i had to hit the books for a while, study up like a professional.

since you've been studying seven questions for a while, what's your favorite question from the past? answer it.
the dinosaur jr. question was quality, only because so few recognize the greatness of that album. barlow was long gone by then, yet mascis still turned it the fuck on for that entire record.
he rocks like a motherfucker on that piece.
yes, i concur my brother. mr. j. mascis truly turned the rock levels up to a higher power on that particular disc of the most compact size.

have you been punched more than you've punched? tell me about the last time either happened…
i've definitely punched more, only because i'm quick like the french guy from mike tyson's punchout. i forget what his name was.
i think he was spanish. don flamenco.
the last time i threw down was actually a mistake. i was going to portray a fake punch on a cable access tv channel, but ended up punching a friend of mine in the dome.
you're an asshole, greg.
he just turned around and said "i think you just punched me in the face."

do you think you could be best friends with a monkey? what would you and your monkey friend do for fun?
yeah, i think i could definitely be friends with someone of the ape variety. any fun would definitely involve some sort of thievery. car chases, brief cases of diamonds and/or emeralds, identity theft, and explosives would probably be in there somewhere.
best friends, though?
it would be more of a working relationship. kind of a batman and robin thing.
dig.
but they weren't best friends tho…so there could be some issues.

if you could have one job in the world, what would it be? why?
definitely not being an accountant, which is unfortunately my present line of work. i think i'd have to go with an "office space"-ish answer and say i'd do nothing. for a while at least…then i'd fight godzilla and mothra in my spare time.
i'd take "benevolent world dictator for life."
"gentle world leader of love" would be popular with the ladies i'd bet.
totally.
you'd definitely have to be of "arch duke" status tho. that's the best title around.

if someone changed your name to funk-o-tron and you were cursed with an unremovable 70s cop show moustache, how do you think that would affect your daily life?
i'd definitely end up on the game show circuit eventually. but that would only follow a trip on the porn circuit (if there's such a thing). massive popularity would be looming around one of those corners, but i'd probably only be laughed at by kids with apple computers who'd put my moustache'd face on their $23 thrift store tee-shirts. i, sadly, probably wouldn't ever receive any royalties then die in a gutter in lansing, michigan.
it'd make a good made-for-tv movie that would probably be on at 4:30pm mountain-time on a saturday.
true.
would i have any musical talent? a name like "funk-o-tron" would easily guarantee me "supa emcee" status. my debut album would be in the bargain bin by 2pm the same day that it was released.

ask yourself a question and don't bitch out on the answer. topics: dead hookers and massive drug habits.
q: would i rather enter a room chock full of dead hookers or my grandparents fueled by speed?
a: i'd go with the "grandparents hyped up on goofballs room." it'd be a good laugh.
very true. my grandmother is awesome when she's drunk.
as long as she's not handing out hugs and kisses, drunk grandparents are alright in my book.
they're more prone to handing out money when they're wasted.
and by the way, my book is 29483.43 pages.

[greg posts fairly often to his weblog, you look good in black. he seems to post more pictures than words, these days. he also made the top 3 list of "bloggers most likely to spend time in jail."]
