15 Minutes 15 Minutes with WompuM

[WompuM]

Well I meant more like the Hype overall, but I'll take that answer..

Oh. Only the 2 a.m. lag. But I blame Drak for that.

You went to see TDK dressed...as Robin!?!?! That's pretty brave Womp!

Why thank you. Miss Womp was Ivy. My roommate was Scarecrow and his unimaginative gf was Rachel Dawes.

Spoiler

As for the repeated questions, that's my mistake. I have been asking everyone that. I didn't realize it's in the default question set.

So, why law?

Why not? Actually no. I've always had a pretty big interest in it. Especially health law. My brother's a doctor and my sister's a pharmacist so I figure they'll screw up eventually and need help. Plus I really really love economics, and since pure economist positions are tricky to find, law was a natural next step.

Also, I'm involved in Outlaws, the gay straight alliance at DePaul's law school. It's a good time. I'm gonna get those queens married if it's the last thing I do.


If Lady WompWomp and you had to split up [], and you could take one single trait from her and "install" it into a new girlfriend, what would that be?

Her sense of humor is unmatched. I don't think we'll be breaking up anytime soon. Also, her hair is pretty.

If you could have blank robots like in Futurama and download celebs into it, who would you download, and why?

I'm not sure I catch the reference, but a Gregory Peck robot would come in handy. And an R2 sized Danny DeVito would be fun.

I do not mean to pry, but you don't by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand?

*waves 5 fingered hand* Sorry.

I know everything about you, true?

We are FB friends and my profile is extensive...

If I do, then should we get gay married?

I'd support the cause, but not that action in particular. Plus I'm racist towards Nicaraguans. Sorry.

If not legal, should we sue to make it legal?

Working on that.

If we make it legal, would it be worth getting married?

Again, you're Nicaraguan. And in Florida. I'm already doing one long distance thing.

Wouldn't it take some of the rebellious nature of gay marriage away and make it unappealing?

Never thought of that. You're right. Has the fire already died between us el Dartho?

Are these weird questions?

From anyone else, yes.

 

[WompuM]

Alright, page 2. w00t w00t! Bring it on. No topics are off limits. Except taffy.

 

[Gilpesh]

Why no taffy? And are you sure that's the only exception?

 

[Darthphere]

WompuM, have you fixed that erectile dysfunction thing you had?

Can you say 3 things that make me the best?

Am I as angry as people think I am?

Isn't it hilarious that all these questions are about me?

 

[WompuM]

Why no taffy? And are you sure that's the only exception?

I said bring it on didn't I?

WompuM, have you fixed that erectile dysfunction thing you had?

I eat a lot of red meat.

Can you say 3 things that make me the best?

Nope. Can't think of anything.

Am I as angry as people think I am?

I think you put on your angry face, but a lot of that is misdirected passion. You love comics and being a nerd, and like many of us, it offends you when people are ignorant about topics your are passionate about.

Isn't it hilarious that all these questions are about me?

The irony was not lost sir.

 

[Majic Walrus]

How's the weather?

 

[Tron Bonne]

If you could kill one animal, eat it, and then become a combination of yourself and that animal, would you keep your rational human mind or continue with the purely animalistic instincts and mind?

 

[WompuM]

How's the weather?

I think it's about to rain. I'm not sure. I'm way hungover and haven't been outside today. Yesterday was gorgeous. Hence me getting super wasted and being hungover today.

 

[WompuM]

If you could kill one animal, eat it, and then become a combination of yourself and that animal, would you keep your rational human mind or continue with the purely animalistic instincts and mind?

wtf drop? I suppose I would chose to be... I don't know, a turtle. Have a sweet shell. Be a ninja. All that. I would keep my human emotions.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Oh, sorry, I thought no question was off limits, I apologize.

I'll ask a more appropriate one: What exactly do you like about me, and if you don't like anything about me, why don't you?

 

[WompuM]

Oh, sorry, I thought no question was off limits, I apologize.

I answered it didn't I?

I'll ask a more appropriate one: What exactly do you like about me, and if you don't like anything about me, why don't you?

What I like about you is your proper use of grammar and you are a level headed female poster, which is rare I suppose.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Thank you, that is good to know. I don't know if I'm suppose to end on a question or not, but I will just in case.

Do you like Towels?

 

[WompuM]

Thank you, that is good to know. I don't know if I'm suppose to end on a question or not, but I will just in case.

Do you like Towels?

I'm not sure if you mean the bathroom drying tool or some poster here named "Towels" so I'll just quote Douglas Adams.

A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to- hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitch hiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with

How is a wet towel useful in hand to hand combat?

[WompuM]

I've been thinking about the first question about which fake universe I would live in. I think I am going to amend my answer to include Dwayne DcDuffie's ultimate sitcom crossover universe. This works the best because it includes Frasier and Star Trek in one.

 

[WompuM]

I just read that Star Trek and Frasier are not connected. So I have to pick over the other. I pick Frasier.

 

[SuBe]

Why did you skip my question?

 

[Ace of Knaves]

So Womp, hows it going?

Get up to much this past weekend?

Got any plans for the upcoming weekend?

You're big on comics right?

Who is your current favourite super hero?

Current favourite super villain?

Favourite comic book character ever? Hero, villain, whatevs.

Why?

Favourite story arc/GN concerning you favourite character?

You read Irredeemable?

If so, what do you reckon of it?

If not, why the hell not!?!

Take 5 Hypsters and assign them superheroes they most fit.

The same again but with supervillains.

Anyway, peace out, av a good en

 

[WompuM]

Why did you skip my question?

My mistake. Must've overlooked it.

Can you please explain to all of the other Posters why the FairTax is better than the current Income Tax Code?

Well, I'm not completely educated on FairTax, but basically, it puts an emphasis on sales tax rather than income tax. This is better in several ways. First, it raises your income total on your paycheck. In doing this it also gets rid of all the jibba jabba about tax brackets. Now, while goods would be more expensive, you'd have more money to buy them with. Thus, in a way, you choose which taxes you pay through your merchandise choices. Also, this would also balance that whole poverty scale mess. Obviously rich folks have more money and buy more stupid **** than poor folk, and thus would pay more taxes. You see, it's a Fair tax. It would get rid of the IRS, make everything a lot simpler, and add a layer of liberty that this country desperately needs.

So Womp, hows it going?

Going well thanks. Sitting in Civil Procedure right now. I don't care for the professor so I don't feel bad for sherking. He talks wth his hands too much and I learn more from the reading than I do from his lecture.

Get up to much this past weekend?

Damn, and then some. I had a buddy and his girlfriend visit me in Chicago. (I just moved here from STL). Anyway, on Saturday we started drinking around 2, so by 10 we were pretty well along. Well my buddy's cousin also lives in the city and we decided to go visit her at work. Some backstory, this girl's a sweetheart and also a fox. In fact she does a bit of modeling here and there and actually lives with some model friends. So we visit her and she gets off work and we are walking to a bar, hen a god damn limo pulls up. It turns out it's her model boyfriend's birthday and all their model friends got a limo for him. So here I am, fat bearded nerd in a Secret Wars t-shirt in a limo full of models doing vodka shots and singing the new Gaga. Life is good my friends.

Got any plans for the upcoming weekend?

It's Miss Womp's birthday so I am taking her out for sushi and then surprising her by taking her engagement ring shopping. I know, big time. She moves up to Chicago in January. Don't worry. No funy business happened with any said models.

You're big on comics right?

Yeah. Especially DC. I have somewhere like 3000 comics now I think. Haven't counted in a while.

Who is your current favourite super hero?

Morrison's Batman is unbelievable and John's GL is fun, but losing steam. ****ing Kyle Rayner man.

Current favourite super villain?

I really love Sinestro, which is one of the only things keeping me interested in Blackest Night. I was damn excited about Flamingo but Morrison killed him after one issue. And for some reason, I love Jason Todd. I guess statistically, someone had to.

Favourite comic book character ever? Hero, villain, whatevs.

Ever? Green Arrow. Quiver was the first comic I ever bought and it got me hooked like a mutha****a. GA really branches out into the entire DCU, and when written correctly, Ollie Queen is the perfect everyman. Ironically, an GA story with the character Everyman is atuomatically ****.

Why?

See above.

Favourite story arc/GN concerning you favourite character?

Again, I love Quiver. That stemmed out of Final Night. Led into Rebrith and that led into Sinestro Corps War. That all came from Identity Crisis as well, which led to Infinite Crisis and then Final Crisis. People often complain of event driven comics but I feel DC does a good job of keeping quality up in their events. Especially Final Crisis.

You read Irredeemable?

Never heard of it. Sorry.

If so, what do you reckon of it?

If not, why the hell not!?!

Take 5 Hypsters and assign them superheroes they most fit.

Hush would be Collasus, but shorter.
Drakon would be Superman
SurgeonGirl is Miss Martian
and Corp and Darth and Marvin and Wendy, respectively.

The same again but with supervillains.

Oh, damn.
BrianWilly is Calculator
BlackLantern is Dr. Doom
MistressWhatsherface is some cliche girl villain that isn't very entertaining.
Thor Odinson would be that guy from Batman Beyond who yells BLOW IT ALL UP!!!
and..... Anubis would be Magneto.


Anyway, peace out, av a good en

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Haha that sounds like a good weekend man

Irredeemable is the new Mark Waid thing with Boom Studio's, tis great man

[Marx]

Which 'Back to the Future' movie is your favorite?

Which 'Batman' movie is your favorite?

Which 'Star Wars' movie is your favorite?

Which 'Lord of the Rings' movie is your favorite?

Which 'Star Trek' movie is your favorite?

Which 'Bond' film is your favorite?

 

[WompuM]

Haha that sounds like a good weekend man

Irredeemable is the new Mark Waid thing with Boom Studio's, tis great man

So you're looking to pop the question, nervous?

It wont be a for a few months, so I'm alright for now. More nervous about passing law school.

Which 'Back to the Future' movie is your favorite?

III. People hate on it but it's the most fun and takes the most time to wrap your head around the timelines and continuity.

Which 'Batman' movie is your favorite?

Mask of the Phantasm or Begins. Both are pretty close to perfection.

Which 'Star Wars' movie is your favorite?

God I love all three. Probably Empire, but really, nothing beets New Hope.

Which 'Lord of the Rings' movie is your favorite?

Two Towers. RotK was big and cool, but why didn't Aragon use the ghosts to invade Mordor?

Which 'Star Trek' movie is your favorite?

Wrath of Khan I suppose. But actually, First Contact was ****ing sweet. And so was Abram's new flick.

Which 'Bond' film is your favorite?

Not entirely into Bond, but I really enjoyed Casino Royale I'm excited Campbell is directing GL.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Kevin Smith, thoughts?

 

[WompuM]

Kevin Smith, thoughts?

You know. Kevin Smith and I have a long history. I used to go on News Askew several times a day. This was years ago though of course. In like 8th grade, he was all that to me. I even enjoyed Jersey Girl. But Clerks 2? Zack and Miri? These were not good films. These were awful pointless films.

As for his comics, he is one of my favorite writers when he is on time. I made the mistake of reading The Evil That Men Do. It only took 3 years to finish. But his run on G.A. has been unmatched (except by Metzler) and his work with Batman, such as Cacaphony (which started slow but ended oh so fantastically) and The Widening Gyre is really the character at its most iconic. Widening Gyre is the best comic I am reading right now as a matter of fact. I hghly suggest it.

Also, I once heard a story that Kevin Smith broke a toilet just by sitting on it.
