15 Minutes 15 Minutes with AndThePickles

[AndThePickles]

What do you miss most about the hype? The posters that I was friends with who are no longer here to contribute.

What would change if you were the Hype Overlord....aka Mirko? I'd let everyone curse...that particular censor has never made much sense to me. I'd allow for more adult topics. I'd keep the nudity censor as I can understand that one. I'd get rid of the celebrity section and the games section altogether and take it back to where we had a few game threads and ONE hotties thread in Community. I'd keep a good portion of the moderators but also change the roster slightly

You were a mod for about 15 minutes..actually it may have been a day...why did you choose to step down? Hey, it was like 2 weeks, ok? It was incredibly time-consuming. The general poster has NO idea how much work goes into this site. I also felt that my views were too liberal for the direction the site was heading...fighting for what I thought should be a certain way was rather exhausting, and also unfair to everyone else trying to keep a team mindset.

Which hype poster do you miss the most? DBella

Which hype poster do you miss the least? GoldenAgeHero

Does Spoons ever call you ATP or Pickles in real life? Hell no, that'd be weird.

What nickname does Spoons call you? He mostly calls me "******"

What has been your favorite place to visit? Northern California, particularly Yosemite. It is absolutely breathtaking.

Where do you most want to go in the world that you have not visited yet?Anywhere in the Caribbean. I wanna go so bad! And Japan and South Korea. [/QUOTE]

Good questions. Edit - why is are the quote tags not working?!

The games section?? I agree that the celeb sub threads are pointless, but games? C'mon, Pickles.

Right now I'm looking at an ad above the page that's for a debit card. So since this place is rated G for Disneyland audiences, since when do childs* get debit cards?

(childs > children...should be a legitimate word)

No no no, the Community Diner games section, not videogames!! I like the videogames section.

 

[PWN3R]

Oh, that place? It's so useless it's like I don't even see it there, so I assumed you were talking about the games games.

 

[Kane52630]

List 5 movie titles that associate with 5 hypesters.
Oh I suck at these. Can I come back to it?

Sure can do.

Ha.

 

[PWN3R]

He's a wonderful guy; been a really good friend to Spoons and I. And he's a damn good cook!

Crap, didn't see this part. Now, when you say 'Spec' and 'cooking' together, this is what I imagine:

[AndThePickles]

Erzy-pooh asks his generic questions...

Hi my name is (Insert your username here), you might remember me on SHH for such things/threads as? Hi, my name is AndThePickles, you might remember me on SHH for such things as It Girl, the controversial sex education thread, and the FHM thread.

What is your biggest regret and if you could relive that moment what would you have done differently? This is going to sound like a cop out, but I can't think of one. I have many things in my life that I wish I had done differently, but they were all learning experiences. I very much believe that I would not be same person I am today without all of those prior "regrets." And I love who I am.

Tell the story of your first love, not necessarily your greatest love. Can I tell the story of my first crush? His name was Jacob, and we went to kindergarten together in Ms. Olsen's class. I asked him to give me a Ring Pop.

What’s your biggest geek collectible? I don't own any geek collectible. I mean, I have lots of nerdy things, but none of them are collectibles I suppose.

If you were a celebrity, what would you demand in your dressing room? A wall of mirrors, make up artist and stylist, rack full of the latest designer samples, fridge full of liquor, entertainment center, and a hot tub. I would also like a half naked man to stand near me and sing to me and give me compliments.

What was your first?
Tape/CD Aside from the kiddie ones, I think it was either Mariah Carey or the Real McCoy, can't remember which tape I had first!
DVD/Blu-Ray This I definitely can't remember.
Automobile Sadly, I am still driving the first car I owned for myself...listed in first post lol
Video Game Although I would play Nintendo at a friend's house, my first system was a Sega Genesis. My sister and I got it for Christmas along with a healthy collection of games...I think we played Sonic and Aladdin first.

How did you find out about the birds and the bees? I can't remember. I do remember that I had no clue what male ejaculation was actually like until my senior year of high school. I knew the process/concept but I couldn't comprehend it haha.

Who has been your biggest influence and why? No one person. I never really looked up to anyone when I was younger.

Where is your next vacation spot? Vegas or Miami

If you moved tomorrow, outside of family or friends, etc. what would you miss most about the place you were living? The pristine suburbia-ness of it all. Lots of fun things to do close by, beautiful area, not much crime to speak of. It's my favorite place that I've ever lived.

 

[Erzengel]

Personable ATP questions:

1. You went to Universal in Orlando, did Spoons also talk you to WDW?

2. You are getting to the age where your friends are starting to get engaged/married? Do you think you'd feel pressured to follow suit?

3. If you can gain 20 IQ points but gain 10 lbs of ass would you do it?

4. If you could pick one celebrity to perform a strip tease for you, who would it be?

5. Who would you stand on a line for, for hours to get their autograph?

6. Weirdest place you ever got down?

7. Have you ever attended a major sporting event?

8. Look to your left and right, and what do you see?

9. Most embarrassing thing that you secretly enjoy?

10. Do you feel as you as a women gets older, that their importance of looks in the people they date tends to be less important as when they were younger?

 

[DoomsdayApex]

We as flawed creatures are bound to contradict what we say and do from time to time. What has been your grandest contradiction?


In Quantum Physics, a few minds speculate that the universe ceases to exist when we close our eyes. What do you think?


If you were a professional fighter or an assassin, what would your nickname be?


Why don't you enjoy Nolan's Batman?

 

[AndThePickles]

Burn baby burn

Pickles! t: Hi!!!

How's the weather? Very rainy and gross, I'm anticipating a slow and aggravating drive home from work.

What kind of shoes do you wear? All kinds! I love shoes, and I'm not picky about brand when it comes to shoes. If it's cute and reasonably priced, I buy it. My summer favorite was Sanuk Yoga Mat flip flops. The most comfortable flip flops I've EVER worn. Highly, highly recommend...they have them for men, as well. http://www.sanuk.com/

Favorite sandwich? Grilled cheese with tomatoes.

Why am I your favorite Hype member ever? Everyone wants to be the favorite! So, it's a good thing I have lots of favorites lol. I have never witnessed you being cross with anyone, ever. It's rare to see such a genuinely kind and friendly soul

Do you miss DBella as much as I? I miss her very much; I will always consider her a true friend.

Ever gone bowling at 2 in the morning? I've done the midnight bowling thing when I was a kid with the glowing black lights.

List me 5 of your all time favorite movies:
Oh boy. Hmm...The Little Mermaid, Anchorman, Ever After, Love & Basketball...and the 5th one is a toss up between many things.

If a guy friend says that you look nice, do you get creeped out? No way, I love compliments and appreciate being given them.

A Hype smiley that you don't hate, but don't love either?

Good questions. Edit - why is are the quote tags not working?!

Weird, I don't know why the quotes didn't work.

I like your suggestions for the hype, especially regarding the censorship of the Hype considering some of the movies that have had whole sections were far beyond PG-13 (or G) like 300, Watchmen, Punisher, etc. 0

Honestly IMO the Books and Music section should be merged as well (at the dismay to some). There are only 3-4 threads that are regularly active in that forum and two of them are "What are you listening to right now?", and "what is the last book you read?"

I am not going to ask which mod(s) should be changed as I will leave that to our imaginations ( ) but what qualities do you feel make for a great mod?

Two weeks? hmm...I just remember seeing your name in red the once, and the next date it was back to blue. Obviously you would know how long you were a mod... would you try again now if given another opportunity or do you feel the circumstances are even more difficult to work with now? What was the most time comsuming part?

(I will have to look up Yosemite) I have been to Cuba once (Hotel Tryp) and I am going again next year. Do you wish Americans could go to Cuba? Would you go? I recommend looking up Cayo Coco which has beautiful white sand beaches and the clearest water you have ever seen. The people are very friendly there as well, (some) food is amazing, and of course there is lots of liquor.

Have you been to Disney World or Disney Land?

What is your favorite ride or attraction? Show?

What your favorite Disney character?

Have you ever dressed as a Disney Princess?

What is your go-to drink? What is in it?

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Hey Pickles, long time no ever real talk to!

Few questions:

What's the most heroic thing you've ever done?

Spoons asks you what you want for dinner, he'll cook it, what do you say?

You and Spoons come back from being out all day to your front door wide up. You go in and see nothing is missing, nothing missing but one fork. Do you report the crime?

JustABill, good Con Buddy or great Con buddy?

Weirdest thing you've ever seen a kid do?

 

[AndThePickles]

Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night? Only Spoons' snoring.

Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic? I live in an apartment and have neither, but when I was very young I was terrified to go down to the basement at night. My heart would beat so fast and I'd run to turn the light on.

Have you or your family ever seen a spook, specter or ghost
I have not, but my grandmother witnessed paranormal activity immediately after my grandfather died.

Personable ATP questions:

1. You went to Universal in Orlando, did Spoons also talk you to WDW? No It is still a dream of mine to go One year we must go so I can act like a squealing little girl. I'm excited just typing about it!

2. You are getting to the age where your friends are starting to get engaged/married? Do you think you'd feel pressured to follow suit? Ha, I am at the age. We attended SO many weddings last year! And the next one is this September. I'm also a bridesmaid in the spring. We have a ton of friends who are married, engaged, or already have kids. I don't feel pressured, I feel the opposite. I don't want to get married as a "trend," and we're both still very young. There is zero rush. It'll be more special if no one else I know is even engaged when I am I'd much rather lose this race to get a rock on my finger; it's actually very sickening.

3. If you can gain 20 IQ points but gain 10 lbs of ass would you do it? Hell yeah! My boyfriend loves big booty *****es anyways.

4. If you could pick one celebrity to perform a strip tease for you, who would it be? Hm, at first I thought Alexander Skarsgard, but I can't see him being that coordinated...he's all lanky. I'll go with Usher.

5. Who would you stand on a line for, for hours to get their autograph? Pssh, no one!

6. Weirdest place you ever got down? Um...well, more sinful than weird...a church parking lot

7. Have you ever attended a major sporting event? Yes

8. Look to your left and right, and what do you see? Left - my phone, printer, papers, etc. Right - multiple piles of work to be done or in progress.

9. Most embarrassing thing that you secretly enjoy? The Twilight books

10. Do you feel as you as a women gets older, that their importance of looks in the people they date tends to be less important as when they were younger?
Only if they're foolish enough to believe that they should settle for less out of desperation for a husband.

Aw, personable ones, I feel special.

 

[AndThePickles]

We as flawed creatures are bound to contradict what we say and do from time to time. What has been your grandest contradiction?

Haaaa I'm sure my boyfriend would offer plenty of ammunition for this one.

In Quantum Physics, a few minds speculate that the universe ceases to exist when we close our eyes. What do you think?

I think that this sounds absurd, and would like to hear their arguments as to why anyone would speculate such a thing. Even when your eyes are closed, your awareness of your surroundings isn't shut off.


If you were a professional fighter or an assassin, what would your nickname be? Barbie


Why don't you enjoy Nolan's Batman? My overall dislike stems from The Dark Knight; it's one of the most boring films I've had the displeasure of sitting through.

Given this answer, I could totally get down with Pickles being the hype overlord.

 

[Marx]

What did you think of Rise of the Planet of the Apes?

Have you been paying attention to set pictures and blogs from The Hobbit set?

 

[Marx]

Who is the defining movie Batman actor in your opinion? Answer carefullly.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

It is a matter of consciousness. Those minds believe that consciousness is found in everything that is sentient and inanimate. That the universe we know is constructed by our own thoughts and ideas, and the human body is merely a vessel.

To be is to be perceived.

Meh, it might not be true, but it's fun to think about sometimes. I find my mind drifts onto unconventional theories lol


Really? Hmm. I was extremely curious. I love Nolan's trilogy, and although I spend most of my time in the Bat Forums, I've never talked to anyone who ever has disliked the film.

Will you see The Dark Knight Rises, or will skip out on it?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

If you had the chance to go airborne by these two in two different times, which one you expect you will like more:
Magic carpet like the one from Disney's version of Aladdin?
A flying pirate ship where everyone eat nothing more than rice and pickles?

I am not going to ask which mod(s) should be changed as I will leave that to our imaginations ( ) but what qualities do you feel make for a great mod? Being open-minded and willing to admit when you're wrong, PATIENCE, fairness, thick skin.

Two weeks? hmm...I just remember seeing your name in red the once, and the next date it was back to blue.

The people are very friendly there as well, (some) food is amazing, and of course there is lots of liquor. I would love to go to Cuba; it looks absolutely gorgeous. I've always wished that I could go.

Have you been to Disney World or Disney Land? *sniffle* No /deprivedchild

What is your favorite ride or attraction? Show? Sadly not applicable

What your favorite Disney character? Ariel

Have you ever dressed as a Disney Princess? Do Jasmine pajamas when I was a little girl count? I was actually debating on being a Disney Princess for Halloween this year

What is your go-to drink? What is in it? You mean for those moments when the bartender asks you what you want and you blank? Grape vodka & sprite.

Hey Pickles, long time no ever real talk to!

Few questions:

What's the most heroic thing you've ever done? I think that I've done some really nice things for people, but I don't know that any of them have been "heroic."

Spoons asks you what you want for dinner, he'll cook it, what do you say? Today I say steamed artichokes with butter. I've been in the mood for them lately. He would never try them, though, I'm sure

You and Spoons come back from being out all day to your front door wide up. You go in and see nothing is missing, nothing missing but one fork. Do you report the crime? Yes, because you never know what could have actually happened. What if someone broke in and spread a dangerous bacteria all over the silverware and we in turn spread it to the rest of humanity?

JustABill, good Con Buddy or great Con buddy? Great!

Weirdest thing you've ever seen a kid do? I'm not around children very often.

Hooray being home from work

 

[AndThePickles]

What did you think of Rise of the Planet of the Apes? I loved it! Great acting and interesting story.

Spoiler

I really liked the fact that the details like the virus that gave the apes intelligence and the enhanced one that caused humans to die felt very believable. They tried to make it all flow very logically, which many film plots neglect to do that involve science of any kind.

Have you been paying attention to set pictures and blogs from The Hobbit set? I haven't been following it very closely on purpose. That would give me entirely too much time to nitpick. I felt the same about the LOTR films...I thoroughly enjoyed them, but of course if you look at all of the little details some great stuff was left out or changed. I'd rather just wait and appreciate the film as it is presented to me in its final state. Then I can go back and watch the extra features about the production of the movie when it's released on dvd.

Who is the defining movie Batman actor in your opinion? Answer carefullly.

Oh lord, I have no idea haha. I actually do not care for Batman the superhero, so it's intriguing that I'm getting multiple questions about him. Did people already know that I dislike him? Lol. The one Batman-related thing I did love was that cartoon series Batman Beyond.

It is a matter of consciousness. Those minds believe that consciousness is found in everything that is sentient and inanimate. That the universe we know is constructed by our own thoughts and ideas, and the human body is merely a vessel.

To be is to be perceived.

Meh, it might not be true, but it's fun to think about sometimes. I find my mind drifts onto unconventional theories lol

Interesting. I do enjoy a good philosophical debate when the mood strikes. It was one of my favorite parts about college...the unconventional ideas and arguments, that is.

Really? Hmm. I was extremely curious. I love Nolan's trilogy, and although I spend most of my time in the Bat Forums, I've never talked to anyone who ever has disliked the film. Those who dislike the film don't go into the Bat Forums, that's why It's like the Pride Lands vs. the Elephant Graveyard...don't go there or the hyenas will try to eat you! t: I respect and appreciate the fact that you are calmly able to accept the fact that I dislike the movie

Will you see The Dark Knight Rises, or will skip out on it? Eh, I won't be rushing to the theater, but I'll probably check it out at some point.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

ATP, would you be angry with me if I told you that you reminded me of Kristen Wiig's charater in Bridesmaids?

 

[AndThePickles]

If you had the chance to go airborne by these two in two different times, which one you expect you will like more:
Magic carpet like the one from Disney's version of Aladdin?
A flying pirate ship where everyone eat nothing more than rice and pickles?

Magic carpet hands down. I hate pickles.

ATP, would you be angry with me if I told you that you reminded me of Kristen Wiig's charater in Bridesmaids?

No, that'd be a silly thing to get angry about. Her character in that film is hilarious, although her life was utterly pathetic. Thankfully, my life is nothing like hers.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Oh lord, I have no idea haha. I actually do not care for Batman the superhero, so it's intriguing that I'm getting multiple questions about him. Did people already know that I dislike him? Lol. The one Batman-related thing I did love was that cartoon series Batman Beyond.

Lol, I'm just observant. You didn't include The Dark Knight in your Top Five, and you ranked Batman Begins dead last (behind Batman & Robin ). Oh, the humanity! From there, I just drew up my conclusion.

Oh no, I meant outside SHH. I've yet to meet anyone who disliked The Dark Knight.

No biggie. I'm a 'sane Batman fan... most of the time. t: I don't blame you. When you sign up for the Bat Forums they usually give you a straight jacket. However, I will say this -- The Man of Steel forums has made ME cry lately. Stay away from there.
