Questions From Poop!

Poop asked some good questions in Friday’s post. Since I’m feeling lazy today, I’m answering them here instead of writing a real post. Deal with it! :)

Is it less gay to buy the Rent movie soundtrack than the Rent broadway musical soundtrack?
Ummm… only very slightly. And that goes for everyone – there’s something really scary about people that own the soundtracks to plays. But MOVIES are a different story.

What goes through a guy’s head when he’s pointing a camera at his bathroom mirror with one hand and lifting up his shirt to reveal his abs with his other hand for a new Myspace profile picture?
I can only imagine that a guy like this has absolutely NO idea of what girls want. Here’ s a hint – stop trying so hard! If you have that good of a body, find a freakin’ photo of you on the beach. It looks less fake.

Would you want to be friends with a guy who gets into Johnny Cash because of “Walk The Line” a year after he got into Ray Charles because of “Ray”?
I don’t have a problem with this – I think that anything that helps people “rediscover” true artists is good. Although, quite frankly, I don’t think I know any guys that didn’t already like Johnny Cash.

Did they choose the name Yuengling just to make it really difficult for you to order one when you’re wasted at 3:50 in the morning?
Definitely. I’m ignoring the comment that said it was the founder’s name.

Is there any correlation between girls who saw New Kids On The Block in concert and girls who saw Titanic more than 3 times in the theater?
Sadly, I never got to see NKOTB in the theater. But I would have if my mom had let me. And, as an NKOTB fan, I am horrified that anyone would equate us with those sappy fools that thought Titanic was that good. It stunk.

Would you think less of me if I told you I was watching Titanic on showtime while writing this?
Yes. There’s no excuse for that, Poop!

Why do movie commercials say, “Now playing, only in theaters!”? Where else would it be playing? Who gets confused?
People are stupid. That’s all I have to say about that.

Should the first girl who flashes her boobs at Mardi Gras this year be deemed a Saint for returning normalcy to the region?
Sure. And I volunteer Alexis!

Am I the only guy in new York who doesn’t play the guitar?
Yes. :)

Ladies: what’s the average number of times you have to stop a guy from going for the shocker before he actually gives up on it?
All I have to say is that guys are freakin’ gross. I think one time is enough, but I still do not understand why on earth anyone would think that was sexy. Seriously – it’s gross. So, perhaps a better question is – why on earth do guys try to do this in the first place? Ugh.

Why do we have signs on the subway for 1-800-IMMIGRATION? Why are there 4 extra letters on there? Why can’t we just make it 1-800-IMMIGRA? They’re immigrants! They won’t know the difference!
I’m not a New Yorker, so I don’t think I’m qualified to answer this one.

Married people: So is it true or not- do you really stop having sex after marriage? Stop joking around about this, we need an answer.
Not my area of expertise.

Would you think less of me if I told you that in 1997 I bought the cassette single of “MmmBop”? Only semi-ironically.
I love cassingles! And I think it’s AWESOME that you bought MmmBop. Of course, the real question now is – do you still have it? I hope so!

Cool or creepy: Dan and I wanted to call Laguna High last year and ask the principal “When do your high school girls go to Cabo on Spring Break?”
Creepy. They aren’t even 18 yet! Or are they? I don’t watch that show. Well, either way, they’re still too young for you!

Why do most drug stores force you to walk through the toy aisle to get to the condom section?
The eternal question. You’ll also notice that condoms are always next to pregnancy tests. Nice.

Does E! really need a news ticker?
I think that the news on E! is more important than knowing the status of the stock market every second, so… yes. It needs one more than the stock exchanges. But less than the fantasy sports ticker on CBS.

How come you don’t have to pass a test to be able to vote but you have to pass a test to work at the Gap?
Our country clearly doesn’t care about having educated people make decisions. Look at our j*ck*ss president.

Have you ever started doodling something, and somehow out of nowhere you end up drawing a swastika? So immediately you try to turn it into something else, like a kite, but it’s still obviously a swastika?
Hasn’t happened to me. Of course, most of my doodles are hearts and flowers. Not because I’m that girly, but because I stink at drawing real things, but hearts and flowers are easy.

What are you more uncomfortable ordering: tsunami rolls or gumbo?
I love gumbo. Love it. So I guess, by default, I’d have to say tsunami rolls.

    Anna, thank you for answering these questions. Somebody had to do it, and I’m glad it was you.

    I’m gonna try to dig up the Hanson cassingle for your next visit to NY. I’m sure it’s right next to the LFO “Summer Girls” one.

    Stop hating on minorities people. Puerto Ricans need more face time on the silver screen.

    Update on Nicole’s comment – she saw Rent and thought Rosario was great!

    Now I have no one to see the movie with though… :(

    I take back what I said. Rosario did not lipsynch…she wasnt that bad either. She is not Mariah Carey but she did a really good job. As for the new Joanne. I wasnt too impressed she was too “girly prissy” and that is not who Joanne was, but whatever I thought it was AMAZING. i cant wait for the dvd so i can actually sing along and dance to my favorite songs. i was holding back in the movie theater…it was soo hard
