Your right to call it ''Lemur-like'' and not ''a lemur''. I'm not -we'll have to get superferret, it's his forte- but I'm almost sure that's an Aye-aye, which -according to wiki- aren't real lemurs but are part of the suborder Strepsirrhini of which the infraorder Lemuriformes- lemurs- is the majority of species in the suborder.

Part 2 Your Hype Life

Spoiler

Congrats, you've been cast on MTV's the Real World! Which 6 Hype members would you pick to live in a house with you? Why? Dog Lips, Enterthemadness, DBella, at least one other fantasy football junky, another Avengers fan, and I'll let people fight over spot 6
Who is your Hype drunken duet partner? Oh, the WORLD is my drunken duet partner
What will you sing? "Mack the Knife"
Have you ever met anyone from the Hype in real life? Not to the best of my knowledge
have you ever posted commando? No
What brought you to the Hype? "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen". Not joking.
What keeps you here? It's fun. Plain and simple.
Link us to a thread you enjoy: This one. Because it's a relief that we can do it.
you're going on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, which member of the Hype would be your Phone-A-Friend? Batman/Master Bruce. He's had prep time.
Which two Hype Members would you like to compete against in Jepoardy? Anyone who insisted that Gambit was going to get his own movie, starring JCVD. You'd be staggered at how many people were convinced of this for a time.
Which two Mods? Kel and Marx
Hype Crush? Myself
Hype Nemesis? Myself (I have issues)
What is your favorite Smiley?:
Least favorite?daredevil, because it took me so damn long to see that it was Daredevil.
Take the opportunity now to clear up one misconception about you. "People" magazine consistently claims that I am not the Sexiest Man Alive, and people honestly seem to believe them. It befuddles me.
What is your Hype Pet Peeve? People insisting that bizarre bits of fanboy speculation are gospel.
What SHH event (that you not necessarily had to be a part in) has given you the most enjoyment? The backlash against Thread Manager. It felt cathartic.

 

[bored]

Who's your favorite mod? Your least?

I won't say names, just so that nobody gets in trouble, but the favorite is the one that was cool about when I protested an infraction I got. The least is the one that gave me crap once for calling out a blatant anti-Semite.

Do you have a favorite movie? If so, which?

Favorite movie line?

Who is your favorite Bond villian?

Favorite sports teams?

"The Big Lebowski"
"If she were president, she'd be... Babe-raham Lincoln."
I love the classics, so I'd say good ol' Ernst Blofeld.
Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball, the KC Royals and Chiefs

You've had that avatar for as long as I can remember. Explain yourself.

I've just never felt compelled to change it. I feel like it is my defining feature on the Hype.

 

[Calvin]

Boo, if there's a place naming names should be allowed it should be this thread.

 

[bored]

What happens if you get scared half to death twice? Technically, you will have been scared 3/4s of the way to death, if measured from your original quantity of life pre-fright.

If you were going to shoot a mime, would you use a silencer?
It would seem the only respectful way to do it.

If a word in the dictionary were mispelled, how would we know?
Its mai desijun wut is mispeld and wut iznt.

Is there another word for synonym?
Flibbidydoo. I don't know why isn't used more frequently.

Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?
It's really the only thing they can do.

Do they sterilize the needles for lethal injections?
Certain kinds of germs, when mixed with the chemicals they use for lethal injections, turn into Red Bull. It took them chasing down at least six hyper-active convicted murderers before they figured that out.

Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?
No, you racist.

If a man is standing in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?
Only if the woman asks.

If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?
Yes.

How young can you die of old age?
4. Damn you, progeria!

If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?
Having seen one in Kansas for the last two months, I'd say something obscene to it.

How many people does it take to change a searchlight bulb?
4.

Is it still real to you?
It is, dammit!

Post 5 songs/singles you want us to listen.
"Take 'Em Down" by the Dropkick Murphys
"Haitian Fight Song" by Charles Mingus
"Amaranth" by Nightwish
"Rainbows in the Dark" by Tilly and the Wall
"The Bleeding Heart Show" by the New Pornographers

If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked?
He's spineless.

Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines?
Because it's hilarious.

What do batteries run on?
Treadmills

If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages?
I tried to research this once, and my entire findings came back as a single rimshot.

Do you have any infractions? If so, do you care to tell us how you got them?
I have an expired one. Somebody in the funny pix thread posted something racist, so I quoted it to point out to him that it was racist, and apparently even quoting it for that purpose was a no-no.



What is your least favorite word?
Tart

What turns you on?
A switch

What turns you off?
Leg hair

What sound do you love?
Rain.

What sound do you hate?
The sound of the voice of my boss.

What is your favorite curse word?
****-a-doodle-doo

What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?
Campaign management

What profession would you not like to do?
Anything on "Dirtiest Jobs". Other than host it.

If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?
"Dude, what the bad place took you so long?"

Are there any questions?
Why is the sky fuschia?

...

 

[bored]

Where are you living right now – the past, future or present?

The present. No reason not to.

What happened to your fan fictions?
Honestly, I just stopped having fun writing them. It was easier when I was at my peak in terms of posting, and I was acquainted with a lot more posters. I felt like there was more to draw on.

Is the fan fiction/art forums a dying section of the Hype?
Tragically, yes. The people who used to make it fun have all dispersed.

Which old poster do you miss the most?
So many. Jaguarr, Maxwell's Demon, DBella, Dog Lips...

How many current posters would you trade to have jag back?
Like, 30. I love how big the Hype has gotten, just because it's nice to see it succeed, but most of the new people just aren't as fun to talk to.

Rookie infielders. Next year gold?
Yeah. Hosmer's proven himself to be legit, and Giovatella's shown incredible promise. I'm also convinced that Moustakas is going to break out either at the end of this season or early next year. He's just had so much hype hanging over him since he was drafted, the pressure must be awful.

The Royals, best team ever?
Duh

KC always starts the season on a high note, do you think we can go all the way next year?
If we can field a legitimate pitching staff, yes. I honestly wish they'd fire Bob McLure, because his pitchers tend to be so streaky. I'm glad Kyle Davies was finally released, but they need to make an effort to put together a rotation of five credible big-league starters, and not just warm bodies with arms like they've done for years. The bullpen is great, but has so much pressure put on them thanks to the general mediocrity of the starting rotation.

Mike Sweeny...has a big weenie?
Probably.

 

[bored]

Any food or drink you absolutely cannot stand?

Cole slaw. I have to make it every few days at the restaurant I work at, and it just disgusts me.

Mary Poppins Vs.. Freddy Krueger- Who would win?

Mary Poppins. Among the ways she is practically perfect is killing demons.

 

[POWdER-man]

I miss your fan fiction as well as as Dog Lips and Abaddon they were pretty funny. What do you think is needed to restore the fan fiction/art forum? Move it back to the community section?

Which forum fan boys would you like to see purged from the site?

How often do you come to this site now?

Where will you be in 5 years? 50 years?

 

[DarkSovereignty]

i know you already answered an avatar-related question, but whats the story behind it? did you make it? why a lemur with a gun? why not an echidna with a slingshot or an aardvark with a can of mace?

 

[PWN3R]

Favorite fast food?

What about the Hype aggravates you the most?

Netflix? If yes, did the price surge make you violent?

What's the last film you've watched, and more importantly, who got naked in it?

 

[bullets]

The present. No reason not to.

Good to hear. Not everyone does.

 

[Marx]

Have you or anyone you know been affected by the economic mess?

How much does gasoline cost per gallon in your area?

 

[bored]

I miss your fan fiction as well as as Dog Lips and Abaddon they were pretty funny. What do you think is needed to restore the fan fiction/art forum? Move it back to the community section?
An influx of talent and a refostered sense of community, like there once was. Everyone followed everyone else, everyone had fun, and it was the best section of the Hype.

Which forum fan boys would you like to see purged from the site?
I really don't collect their names anymore, but there are just so many people who will repost the same old, debunked rumors regarding the Avengers movie and cartoon show as if they are new (some old, BS casting-call insisting that Ant Man, Wasp and War Machine would be in the movie, and they'd be fighting Skrulls, for instance), and I just wish those people would go away.

How often do you come to this site now?
A few times a day, but I read a lot more threads than I ever actually post in.

Where will you be in 5 years? 50 years?
Not Kansas; outer-space.

i know you already answered an avatar-related question, but whats the story behind it? did you make it? why a lemur with a gun? why not an echidna with a slingshot or an aardvark with a can of mace?

I saw it in some thread or another. I think it was Elijya's old Mondo Funky thread (the precursor the Funny/Awesome Pics and "LOL I'm Batman" threads). I was just amused by the idea of such a cute little animal holding a weapon like that, and used it on a lark.

Favorite fast food?
Taco Bell

What about the Hype aggravates you the most?
The ads. I understand they bring in revenue for the site, and that's well and good, but they are bloody invasive, and this one for a movie that keeps taking up the bottom of the screen and expanding if you bring your cursor near it is infuriating.

Netflix? If yes, did the price surge make you violent?
Yes, and no, but only through the power of self-restraint. I love streaming, and I love getting their DVDs in the mail.

What's the last film you've watched, and more importantly, who got naked in it?
"Aguirre, the Wrath of God", and nobody. Which is fine, since nobody needs to see Klaus Kinski's ash.

Have you or anyone you know been affected by the economic mess?
Who hasn't? I'll say that the economic mess has been used as an excuse for all the destructive changes made to the state office my mother works for.

How much does gasoline cost per gallon in your area?
It's funny, because I don't live in a small town, per se, but I don't live in a bustling metropolis either, yet different parts of town have drastically different prices. I've seen it as low as 3.29 in some parts of town (side note: I just called 3.29/gallon "low"), and as high as 3.45 in other parts, not really that far away.

 

[PWN3R]

I watched Burden of Dreams without knowing anything about Klaus Kinski.Haha, Herzog looked scared of the man, with good reason. I guess not really a question?

Taco Bell, nice. That's mine as well. Crunch Wrap Supreme, mankind's greatest invention?
