25 Questions with BKV

[CConn]

Okay, so super creative comic book and tv writer Brian K. Vaughn recently published a questionaire in an issue of his amazing comic Saga.

It was such an amusing and inventive series of questions, I decided to repost it here for some of you people to answer. Maybe.

1). If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

2). And where are you from?

3). What are you reading these days?

4). Do you buy your funny books from your friendly neighborhood retailer or from an online site like Comixology?

5). Important: who would win in a fight, the Hulk or Rorschach?

6). If I was on the run from the authorities, might I be able to crash on your couch for a bit?

7). What is the worst recreational drug?

8). Why won't more people accept the fact that Haywire is Steven Soderbergh's very best film?

9). What is your second greatest regret in life? Giving up on those piano lessons?

10). Seriously, what's wrong with my eye?

11). What is the only truly excellent Mexican restaurant in New York City?

12). Ian Fleming once wrote that James Bond liked sex best when it had "the sweet tang of rape." Does this change the way you feel about the character and/or life on this planet?

13). If you had to permanently give up either chocolate or cheese (in each of their infinite varieties), which would you choose?

14). When was the last time you watched a stage play, and what was it?

15). What do you think Image publisher Eric Stephenson's darkest secret really is?

16). Which of the TMNT is not most assuredly an atheist?

17). Have we dated?

18). Would you rather be trapped on the island from Lost with your mom or dad, and why?

19). When was the last time you were naked in front of someone in a nonsexual context?

20). Are you Banksy, and if so, can we do anything to help?

21). Who had the greater impact on your upbringing, your favorite librarian or your favorite coach?

22). What are you working on these days, anything creative?

23). Wait, why did you abandon it?

24). Relax, I'm sure it's great. Listen, why not put down this comic and do a little work on your thing RIGHT NOW?

25). Cool, but before you do, if you were to be reincarnated as a inanimate object, what would it be?

[enterthemadness]

First off, I see it says you are a porn actor underneath your name. Is that why the woman in your avatar is screaming?

1). If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?
24, going on 25.

2). And where are you from?
America. Land of the free, but not really the free. See Patriot Act and NDAA and taxes.

3). What are you reading these days?
Nothing.

4). Do you buy your funny books from your friendly neighborhood retailer or from an online site like Comixology?
The what?

Booze.

Never seen it.

9). What is your second greatest regret in life? Giving up on those piano lessons?
Either not doing certain fun things with women yet or living at home. Or maybe not making a robot Godzilla to do my bidding yet. like I'm a saint. Please.

10). Seriously, what's wrong with my eye?
I hit it. Sorry, I was playing Wii Tennis and it 'slipped'.

11). What is the only truly excellent Mexican restaurant in New York City?
Not a big fan of the North, so I wouldn't know.

12). Ian Fleming once wrote that James Bond liked sex best when it had "the sweet tang of rape." Does this change the way you feel about the character and/or life on this planet?
Well, now I have another reason not to like that series.

13). If you had to permanently give up either chocolate or cheese (in each of their infinite varieties), which would you choose?
Chocolate.

No.

18). Would you rather be trapped on the island from Lost with your mom or dad, and why?

I would rather be kicked in the nuts very hard, but if they got lost at sea while on a cruise ship, I would stop what I am doing and find them.

Ugh.

No.

These boring questions. But no, I give you a answer. I used to write scripts. Then quit. Why? I suck. Now as a hobby, sure...writing can be fun and you can enter into some screenplays contests for giggles.

24). Relax, I'm sure it's great. Listen, why not put down this comic and do a little work on your thing RIGHT NOW?
Hmmm?

25). Cool, but before you do, if you were to be reincarnated as a inanimate object, what would it be?

...a can of diet pepsi being drank by Sophia from Modern Family. Yea, I went there.

Okay, so super creative comic book and tv writer Brian K. Vaughn recently published a questionaire in an issue of his amazing comic Saga.

It was such an amusing and inventive series of questions, I decided to repost it here for some of you people to answer. Maybe.

1). If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

29

2). And where are you from?

New York City originally, but I've moved around a lot.

3). What are you reading these days?

The Tiger's Wife. The woman who wrote it was only 24, but it's an excellent novel.

4). Do you buy your funny books from your friendly neighborhood retailer or from an online site like Comixology?

I only buy TPBs and graphic novels. I order them from Amazon or go to my bookstore. I've given up on mainstream Marvel and DC books. With a few exceptions, they're such crap these days.

5). Important: who would win in a fight, the Hulk or Rorschach?

Rorschach would turn into a green ink blot.

6). If I was on the run from the authorities, might I be able to crash on your couch for a bit?

Nope. If I'm risking my neck to hide a fugitive it's going to be someone close like my brother or my best friend. I'll buy you a soap-on-a-rope for your stay up the river though.

7). What is the worst recreational drug?

I agree with enterthemadness. Booze. I've seen so many people destroy their lives through excessive drinking. Nicotine is a close second.

8). Why won't more people accept the fact that Haywire is Steven Soderbergh's very best film?

Because it's not. Traffic is.

9). What is your second greatest regret in life? Giving up on those piano lessons?

Nah not gonna answer that one.

10). Seriously, what's wrong with my eye?

Pink eye?

11). What is the only truly excellent Mexican restaurant in New York City?

I forget the name, but it was good. They served tequila.

12). Ian Fleming once wrote that James Bond liked sex best when it had "the sweet tang of rape." Does this change the way you feel about the character and/or life on this planet?

Nah, don't care. As well as sexist, he was also racist (read "Live and let die"). But those were the times he lived in. The present-day movie incarnation might as well be a different character.

13). If you had to permanently give up either chocolate or cheese (in each of their infinite varieties), which would you choose?

Easy. Chocolate.

14). When was the last time you watched a stage play, and what was it?

Does Kabuki count? I saw that in Tokyo in 2010.

15). What do you think Image publisher Eric Stephenson's darkest secret really is?

I don't even know who that is, nor do I care.

16). Which of the TMNT is not most assuredly an atheist?

Donatello is the most likely to be an atheist. Raph is the most likely to have faith. Could be Shinto though, since Splinter is a Japanese rat.

17). Have we dated?

I highly doubt that.

18). Would you rather be trapped on the island from Lost with your mom or dad, and why?

Dad. No need to go into reasons.

19). When was the last time you were naked in front of someone in a nonsexual context?

Waterpark locker-room about a year ago.

20). Are you Banksy, and if so, can we do anything to help?

I'm not, but he is awesome.

21). Who had the greater impact on your upbringing, your favorite librarian or your favorite coach?

I did not have a favorite coach nor did I have a favorite librarian. Is that why I'm so screwed up?

22). What are you working on these days, anything creative?

I write and draw my own underground comics and I make promotional rock posters.

23). Wait, why did you abandon it?

When I take a hiatus the cause is pure laziness.

24). Relax, I'm sure it's great. Listen, why not put down this comic and do a little work on your thing RIGHT NOW?

Um.... But this is a smart phone.

25). Cool, but before you do, if you were to be reincarnated as a inanimate object, what would it be?

A dildo.

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I change my answer to question 7 in light of the events of the last week.

Bath salts. Bath salts are the worst recreational drug.
