wait, wait… back to the talk show. how do you see the role of your bartender-sidekick (other than the obvious role of providing drinks)? one-man laugh track? wellspring of sage advice?
ideally, he’d be equal parts uncle jesse (from dukes of hazzard, not that idiot stamos), yoda, and the stig from top gear…with a sprinkle of billy connelly, you know, for comedic effect

Have you ever been fired? If so, why?
i’ve never been fired, but i have been laid off…of course the company that laid me off eventually (3 years later) hired me back.

If you had your own talk show, who would your first three guests be?
this is tough. i’d want the people to be interesting, kind of funny, and people i wouldn’t mind drinking a beer with. (this would be the premise of my talk show. it would be set in a bar, and the sidekick (ala ed mcmahon or andy richter) would be the bartender. i think patton oswalt would work. maybe also wes...

What’s the oldest piece of clothing you still own and wear?
kate’s pretty good about throwing out clothes that get ratty. so i don’t really have anything that old (nothing older than 10 years probably…) if i had to guess, it’s probably a t-shirt with the york peppermint patty logo that says “dork” instead.

how is this even a real question? would you rather be hawkman or aquaman? sure…you would have the advantage of never being lonely, what with all those fucking fish around, but seriously, hawkman was way cooler, even after aquaman got his hook hand and started looking all poseidon-from-clash-of-the-titans. and, hawkman had that badass club.

Why Arsenal?
because arsenal, quite simply, play the beautiful game in a very beautiful way. i also like the fact that the manager is fully committed to the belief that this system can win silverware.

why do people like neil young?
what neil has going for him is a real sense of honesty in his voice. when you hear “harvest moon”, you can feel the passion that he is trying to rekindle. “heart of gold” has him both pleading for love and coming to grips with his own human frailty. there are several singers that i think fall into this vein. the sort of earnest and honest trampy troubadour. they...
