The Syndicate

Can you think of a positive thing to say about a musician you truly dislike?

Taylor Swift understands her market in an incredibly sophisticated way, and makes fruitful (for herr)use of that understanding.


If you were to commission me to choreograph an evening-length dance piece based on your life, what style would it be in? Pointe shoes and tutus? Postmodernist minimalism? Fosse-esque sass? Something else?

Avant Garde, a soloist moving in and out of various traditionally choreographed groupings. Moving through the groupings at a non synchronous pace, without missing a beat.

Do you think Daffy Duck deserved all the flack he got from Bugs Bunny?

Yes.

Who is your favorite actor or actress and why?

Tough one! I love Drew Barrymore for the laughter she brings and Uma Thurman bc I really like her style and movies. I love George Clooney only bc he is nice on the eyes and I adore Matt Damon.

How about you? Who are your favorite actresses/actors?

I am not an actress person; I have never seen a movie because a specific actress was in it. I like Steve Buscemi, DiCaprio, both Damon & Affleck, Mark Wahlberg. The entire cast of Reservoir Dogs.

Do you like Tarantino films?

I do, two of my favourite films are his. Most are good, but overrated IMO however.

What is your guilty pleasure movie?

Its a Wonderful Life

Last movie you saw that you hated?

The Nanny Diaries (against my will!)

Last movie you watched that you loved?

Probably Her

Do you have unusual taste in general, or are you fairly mainstream?

Unusual. My girlfriend has mainstream tastes and she is utterly baffled by half the stuff I like.

If you had to live a day in the life of a Syndicate member, which one would it be?

Probably Snow Dog; we're a similar age so it would be less of a culture shock, and i would love to see Wales.

What about you?

It's just hills :P No, I really love Wales. It has some of the most beautiful parts of Britain.

Probably llama, I don't know why though

If you had to change your name, what would you change it to?

Jürgen.

What is your ultimate goal in life?

To die in a bed, not in the streets.

Do you think "survival" is a goal in and of itself? Or is it a biological drive implied in "living"?

If it was either, why would all creatures currently living, as according to science, quite happily have spent billions of years before their birth not ever worrying about such a thing?

I think a few philosophers have worried about it, but pretty much universally AFTER their birth. Considerably after.

Do you think the FELT banner is incredibly cute?

I do.

If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it, where is the bear having its shit?

Probably in my back yard; either that or there's a feral Great Dane in my neighborhood.

Once you get past local, entry level, do you there is such a thing as a non corrupt politician?

I'm sure there really are some but I bet they're ridiculously rare.

If past lives were a thing, who do you think you could have been? (Historical figure ideally)

Frederick Douglas

Are you being served?

No.

Would you rather have a butler or a secretary?

A secretary, because butlers are expensive.

Would you rather one window or two?

Two, I like windows & curtains.

Are you having a Blizzard today?

As a matter of fact I'm playing a Blizzard game right now.

Do you play video games? If so, what kind?

Not anymore, I used to but haven't had a game system in a while. I loved Zelda games most.

What game system(s) do you have, if any?

PS3

Curtains or blinds?

Both, thick ones.

How do you feel about vitamin and mineral supplements?

They can be beneficial for some people, but nothing beats a well-rounded diet (with exercise).

What's for dinner tonight (or tomorrow night)?

Lasagne

What colour is your shirt?

Black.

Who wants to live forever?

I might, but definitely not as a human.

Is it possible to create a physical materialization of a sex servitor? I was wodering if someone has done it, and what was there experience? Also is that better than summoning an incubus?

Absolutely- happens all the time, really. A man and a woman engage in coitus and a male child results. This new person may eventually become an extension of someone's sexuality and is wholly submissive in this role. These experiences have differed from culture to culture and in different temporal contexts. Unlike incubi, the human specimen will leave you alone when you are trying to sleep, and thus not burden you with additional trips to the washing machine.

Can you see a battery right now from where you are sitting q.m.

A battery? q.m. Like a double A or a C q.m. No.

Where do you plan to travel next?

My sisters house.

Who are you rooting for in the Super Bowl?

The Panthers.

Meh. I like Russel Wilson, so I guess the Seahawks.

When was the last time you dug a hole?

This summer, to remove an old wooden post in the lawn.

What do you do when you are frustrated?

Have a drink and make pasta.

What was the first fun activity you did regularly when you got the Internet in your home?

I think I played Word Whomp on Pogo, early 2000's.

Do you enjoy rye ales? (Hint: that's what I'm drinking now)

Never had one

Are you a coffee (or tea) drinker, and do you consider yourself a connoisseur of same?

I enjoy both, but definitely prefer coffee. Connoisseur? Not quite. I did used to roast coffee (for a shop). I prefer Italian Roasts. I don't own a French Press or percolator, or anything, just a simple pourover. But I do enjoy grinding the beans every morning.

Do you have any summer plans?

Fall plans, we're going to london.

Did you watch the SuperBowl? What did you think?

I did off and on. Had people over.

It's simple, really. Super Bowl winning 101 (from a n00b): If you have Marshawn Lynch, you don't throw on 2nd and Goal.

Isn't it funny how the Seahawks lost the same way they essentially sealed the deal against Carolina in the playoffs (goal line interception)?

Sure (I didn't watch it).

Was this year's Super Bowl fun to watch?

How would I know? It bored me before it even started so I did a binge watch of Arrested Development.

Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things who won the Super Bowl?

Nope, not a whit! But only doing/enjoying things that matter in the Grand Scheme of Things would lead to a pretty crippling existence for most folks, methinks....






Is there really a Grand Scheme of Things?

No, just cause and effect.

Who let the dogs out?

Mr. Burns. Again.

Would you kill someone if it meant that person didn't die but instead would come back as your slave, controlled by telepathy?

I'm asking for a friend k

Of course, I have a list of targets for just such an occasion.

Is it normal for hair to grow there?

In America? Yep. Never grew any anywhere else.

Would you become an embarrassing Internet meme for a thousand pounds?

Not worthy my dignity.

If you were a pokemon, which one would you be?
