Part 2 Your Hype Life

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?
Ahura Mazda - he's a great guy who I would enjoy hanging out with and relax.
Jewish Hobbit - he would be good at cracking the jokes and bouncing off ideas
LS - so he could mesmerize us with his nipples....nah he will make sure we are staying fit and working out.
Marx - another good guy who will be able to carry the conversation and debate on key issues
Dbella - so it isn't a sausage fest
Who is your Hype drunken duet partner?
Hunter Rider - he's my main man
What will you sing?
[YT]h3ADektyDhM[/YT]
Have you ever met anyone from the Hype in real life?
Nope, but TMOB doesn't live very far from me.
have you ever posted commando?
I know I have posted in my underwear but I don't believe so.
What brought you to the Hype? That is easy, Spider-Man 2. I came on here the night I went to see SM2 as I wanted to talk about it online with someone.
What keeps you here? Umm....boredom sometimes. I hardly ever post anymore and mostly lurk around. I post within the same threads mostly now.

Kalel and Spider-Fan (I want a rematch of a final three with these guys )
Hype Crush?
Dbella she was sweet, funny, smart and a great person to talk to.
Hype Nemesis?meh...I don't really have one as I don't waste the energy that comes with baggage.
What is your favorite Smiley?

Least favorite?

Take the opportunity now to clear up one misconception about you.
I think the biggest thing is that early on some "people" spread a bunch of lies about me, and it got around. I am not going to talk about that crap as it's ancient history. I think some feel I might be a prick but I am actually a really good guy. I sometimes bring real life problems onto the hype and unfortunately probably act less like myself.
What is your Hype Pet Peeve? The censorship of the hype that has progressively become worse.
What SHH event (that you not necessarily had to be a part in) has given you the most enjoyment? I have enjoyed my Survivor games that I have been a part of, placing 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th and the great people I have met along the way. As well as the game I hosted with HR which gave me the experience to improve on what I did and will my next one better than ever!

[POWdER-man]

Where'd you come up with your username? It's funny because I change my story each time I am asked. Okay, when I rushed on here to talk about SM2 I had to create a username. Every superhero name I tried was already taken and even then I didn't want to be a number so I just made up one based partly on Powdered Toast Man (Ren and Stimpy). If you are wondering about the extra capital letters, I went through a stage where I was thinking about changing my name so I decided to partly change it and pay homage to Power Man, Luke Cage.
Favorite movie to watch when you're bored?
Hmm...depends on my mood. If I want to laugh I watch something like Anchoman.
If I want a feel good movie I watch something like Ferris Bueler's Day off.
If I want action I will watch LOTR.
What's your least favorite animal?
I hate pigeons and seagulls but annoyingly yappy dogs are up there as well.
Are you in love? Have you ever been? I have been married nearly 10 years now so I hope so....of course it is marriage.

Thanks , I liked those suggestions. I'm always going back to music in the 70s , 80s , and 90s. These days I'm trying to seek out bands I like , which seems few and far between.

 

[POWdER-man]

What happens if you get scared half to death twice?Obviously this would happen on two separate occasions so the time in between would determine if it would result in death, or near death.

plus...there is a big difference between mostly dead and being dead.
[YT]D9tAKLTktY0[/YT]

If you were going to shoot a mime, would you use a silencer?
Isn't that redundant? I mean if I am going to kill him I might as well make it ironic and kill him with a bazooka.
If a word in the dictionary were mispelled, how would we know?To the internetz! <cue 60's Batman music>

Is there another word for synonym?
Of course, but I am sure you have heard them all before. So instead here is the Ministry of Silly Walks
[YT]IqhlQfXUk7w[/YT]

Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?
As long as the animals are vegetarian themselves.

Do they sterilize the needles for lethal injections?
With arsenic and rat poison.

Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?
No that is a big misconception about us, we are an equal opportunity group.

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?
Being married 10 years I can answer this with 100% confidence based on personal experience. Yes, he is always wrong no matter what situation or scenario.

If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?
No because only one personality can be in control at any one time so it would more like a suicidal threat. I guess all my other personalities agree.

How young can you die of old age?
That depends on the species/animal since you didn't specify human as a Mayfly would die after a day while a Tortoise could live over a hundred and fifty years. I need more details my man.

If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?
I am usually polite but that heat is a prick.

How many people does it take to change a searchlight bulb?
As many as it takes to lift one up, plus twice as many to "supervise" it being done.

Is it still real to you?
I always keep it real.

Post 5 songs/singles you want us to listen.
Sunshine - Jonathan Edwards - beautiful song
[YT]HHRxQo2uUy8[/YT]

Somebody to Love - Queen -because everyone needs love
[YT]cxbFLYa0_bw[/YT]

We're Not Gonna to Take it - Twisted Sister - The intro alone makes this song awesome.
[YT]WT1LXhgXPWs[/YT]

Highway of Heroes - The Trews - A very sad and somber song.
[YT]QrkgV5bl7kQ[/YT]

Far Far - Yael Naim - Most will know her from her Apple Commercial song(which I posted below) but she just has this amazing voice.
[YT]ajcRFpJBLQ8[/YT]
[YT]XgEfYGzojcA[/YT]

and an extra one...
I learned the Hard Way - Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings - some old motown soul...think Arethra Franklin
[YT]d_CzeNW_Fs4[/YT]

If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked?
Yeah I am pretty sure he is dead.

Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines?
Because Stevie Wonder needs to get his money out too.

What do batteries run on?
Charlie Sheen's tiger blood!

If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages?
Shame on you, a pun is a terrible thing to waste.

Do you have any infractions? If so, do you care to tell us how you got them?
No, I am actually clean and pure.
The worst I have ever received was a 100 posts reduction by the great Dew, which I probably would have received much worse in this day and age.

What is your least favorite word?
"cannot" I can not accept that these two words should be together. It just simply bugs me beyond anything else.

What turns you on?
(certain) Accents are number one. I also love confidence, intelligence and a good sense of humour. As for looks I always like brown hair, great eyes, and a nice body.

What turns you off?
Bad breath, bad manners, and bad teeth

What sound do you love?
The voice of my children.

What sound do you hate?
Annoying dogs, the sound of something breaking, and my alarm clock.

What is your favorite curse word?
Fudge and Sugar - I can't swear around the kids.

What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?
I have always been good with my hands so carpenter or electrician. There is something to be said about the satisfaction in completing a large project you made from scratch. It is like my art.

What profession would you not like to do?
One that makes me unhappy and not enjoy. As long as the job meets these two than the rest is gravy.

If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?
Well it's about time, come on in. We just made some popcorn and the Superhero Movie marathon is just about to begin.

Are there any questions?
Where do babies come from?

More!

Woops sorry my link above didn't work(fixed). Yeah same here. The Trews have a lot of songs that I enjoy on my Ipod while The Sheepdogs are a bit newer. Actually they are being featured on the cover of the Rolling Stones soon.

You said that you've been married for 10 years, tell us about your wedding? What it a big ceremony? Small ceremony? Indoor? Outdoor?

How many children do you have?

It was a church wedding with about 100 of my closest family and friends. My brother was my best man, and my best friend and my brother-in-law were my other groomsmen. My wife's best friend was her maid-of-honour, while her sister and one of my sisters were her bridesmaids. We had our reception at the hall next to the church with lots of food, alcohol and dancing.

Also as a fun tidbit, we booked our honeymoon to go to Cuba and unfortunately the week before our wedding they changed our flight time which was originally in the middle of the following day to 6:00 am the next morning and the airport was 4 hours away. We worried about it all week as it meant we would have to leave early from the reception, do not drink and drive over night to get there in time. Without my knowledge my family made arrangements to have a couple people drive us there so we could enjoy ourselves that night.

As for my children, my oldest child is my daughter who is 13 (brilliant, funny, artistic, big heart, active in sports and clubs, etc. and I keep her very busy with activities to keep her mind away from boys), my younest is my son and he is 7 (way ahead of his age level in his school studies, funny, sensitive, active in sports, etc)

You've been a member of the Hype for seven years. How has your off-Hype life changed since you first joined?

Not much really, but it's crazy to think I have been here 7 years. I am more ahead in life I guess. I have a bigger home, more saved up for retirement and for my children's education, etc.

And with that I am going to bed as it's past midnight now.

What is your favorite place to travel to in Canada?

What is your least favorite place to travel to in Canada?

Wow tough question as I have loved nearly everywhere I have gone in Canada and there are still places I want to go to see.

As for favorite I would have tp say Banff/Lake Louise, AB which has simply gorgeous mountains, lakes, and scenery. We went in a cable car that brought us to the top of the mountain which allowed us to travel from on top of the mountain using a walkway that was built.

Here are some pictures...

PEI and New Brunswick will always have a place in my heart as some of my favorite places to visit as there is always stuff to go see, such as the Hopewell Rocks or the red sandy beaches of Cavendish.

Least favorite would be a toss up between Saint John which smells bad due to the pulp mill and is quite dirty and Halifax which is the biggest city in Atlantic Canada but I don't enjoy my visits there as I can never find anything to do or go see.

 

[Marx]

That looks beautiful man!

Jewish Hobbit:

Note: I've skimmed the other questions so if any of these are repeats just ignore them.

What are your top 5 favorite comicbook stories and why?
Hmm tough one but considering I am Spider-Man fan I am going to go with my favorite storylines:

1. Kraven's Last Hunt - This was an amazing story of a villain hanging on to the last threads of his sanity. When he finally accomplishes his goal he even becomes more insane until the final conclusion when he accepts his defeat and ends it all. I find this story a nice change a pace from the usual storylines and a great (final) conclusion to a great villain. I also really enjoyed the art and dark tone of the whole storyline.

2.Child Within - Another great story with another iconic villain(s). Turmoil doesn't begin to explain the difficulty Harry experiences fighting his inner demons, while Peter battles once his best friend in a great story. Which I would also include Issue #200 in this storyline as it connects.

3. The Night Gwen Stacy Died - I don't think I need to explain this one.

4. Funeral Arrangements - Sensing his time is coming to an end Vulture tries to right some wrongs and settle some last scores. The art is not the greatest but stoy was top notch and I really enjoyed reading it.

5. Return of the Sinister Six/Revenge of the Sinister Six - these ones are guilty pleasures with having so many of S-M villains and action contained within the pages and the personaly struggles of some characters like Sandman, and the evil nature of Dr. Octopus makes this an enjoyable read.
What would you say was your best moment in life?
The birth of my children, and my wedding day of course. Besides that...when my children say I love you daddy. I don't care how tough of a guy you are this will melt any heart out there.

What would you say was your worst moment in life?
Well, my Grand-mother from my mother side dying. She was my closest grand parent as my others died before I was born or when I was too young to remember. She was French and didn't speak a word of English I could speak French but I was young at the time and shy) but we always connected well and we would always play cards together and she would take care of me well. It was first experience to death that I could remember and I didn't how to react at first. At the funeral when the casket was going by I broke down crying as much as I ever did, even though I didn't shed a tear before.

If you can remember that far back, what was your favorite thing about the Contest of Marvels?
Heh...that does go back. I was new to the forum at that time and trying to find my place on the hype when I came across this thread advertising the prize of the Death of Gwen Stacy for a contest. I immediately signed up but of course things happened and it changed but everyone stayed and we became a part of a GREAT season! Between Harlekin, Johnny Blaze (who won), Iceman, Phaedrus, Wolverine, and yourself it was a blast and I only wish I would have the time as I did back then to play as actively as I did back then. I regret having to bow out in seasons afterwards and it makes me sad to see it not have as much success as the first season. You and Phaedrus did a wonderful job with it and I also enjoyed hosting the awards afterwards. It still bugs me to this day for losing against Thanos while using Professor X. I had that match won and it came down to an outside vote to tie that first round. Argh...

Do you plan on returning to Survivor anytime soon, as player or host?
Playing? Probably not, I think you need to have a level of desire to want to play this game, otherwise you are dead weight for your team. I found that my last two seasons my heart wasn't in it and my teams probably suffered due to it. I would have to be attracted with a game of the century that peaks my interest, has an experienced host, and players who will make the game fun.

As for hosting, I am actually supposed to host after Matt does. I have been working on it for the past couple of years and I have created some challenges that blow away my challenges from my first game and any that I have played. My goal is to create as many challenges that involve as many players possible where everyone can be a part of it, instead of challenges that gear towards to maybe one or two players on any particular team. I am really excited with this season, and I hope to find a suitable co-host to share the duties that has the experience and desire to bring back a great game.

What avatar has been your favorite that you've sported?
I have changed so many over the past 7 years....probably my Gandalf smoking his pipe. It reflects my usual calm demure.

What avatar has been your favorite sported by someone else?
I always like Drakon's theme with his avatars but I really like one I made for Phoney Bone a long time ago...it still makes me laugh...

I would have to say the friends I have met over the years, the Hype Survivors, the SM forum prior to SM3, and the Contest of Marvels.

Have you ever had a recurring dream? If so, what was it?
Nah, I don't remember my dreams. I can recollect that they are odd and weird but beyond that by the time I wake up I forget them. One of my gifts (and curses) is that I can fall asleep within seconds if I choose to so I am constantly battling to stay awake. If I let myself, I can fall asleep in this office chair right now while I am here typing which I have done a few times. I can also start dreaming right away (even between snooze pushes) and realize I am dreaming but my mind works in odd ways and instead of controlling the dream I just go with the flow.

What is the weirdest dream you've ever had?
Again I don't remember any of them but I am also known to blurt out things when I talk. I told my wife one night to spread jelly on the floor so the dogs can't get us.

Have you ever studied oneirology? (the study of dreams)
Nope, I used to have this book that would tell you the meaning of something you dreamed about but I could never remember what I dreamed about so it was a waste of time.

 

[Marx]

Are you into mythology?

 

[POWdER-man]

That looks beautiful man!

It is, I would love to go back! However the time I went wasn't for fun or business it was a funeral of my brother-in-law. This was done in one day as a day to get out.

You mentioned that you own two businesses. What type of businesses are they? Have long have you owned them?

That is a question that I can't answer, as I am secretive about certain things in my life and revealing what type would give away too much information. This question will have to go unanswered beyond the fact I have own them for over 5 years now.
