The Michigan Daily: Is Nathan
there?
Random: You've got him.
TMD: Well congratulations, you have
been selected for Weekend, etc.'s
Random Student Interview. How does
that make you feel?
R: Pretty important. I feel like the
chosen one.
TMD: Good, so what are you up to
right now?
R: Procrastinating homework, watch-
ing TV
TMD: What are you studying?
R: Stats.
TMD: How is that class going for
you?
R: It's pretty easy so far.
TMD: Great, well this is pretty bor-
ing, so let's talk about somethingelse.
Have you ever choked on a pretzel
before?
R: No.
TMD: Have you ever choked on any-
thing before?
1 ,
R: Yeah, I choked on a cherry once.
TMD: On that little thing in the mid-
dle?
R: Yeah the pit.
TMD: That is the pits. So what was
the last movie you saw?
R: "Lord of the Rings."
TMD: What did you think of that?
R: It was pretty cool.
TMD: Have you ever seen the movie
"Commando?"
R: No.
TMD: No? No! What do you mean
no?
R: Who's in it?
TMD: It's with Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Vernon Wells.
R: Oh, so it's one of those
Schwarzenegger movies?
TMD: Exactly. So what are your
favorite lunch time meal?
R: Pizza, soup ...
TMD: Do you like sandwiches?
R: Uh, yeah
TMD: Do you like your sandwiches
with butter or mayonaise?
R: Butter, I don't like mayonaise.
TMD: What are your plans for the
weekend?
R: Two hockey games, do homework,
watch T.V ... pretty boring stuff.
TMD: You are going to the Michigan
games I assume.
R: Of course.
TMD: What do you think of Bill
Martin's letter to the fans asking them to
tone down the behavior.
R: Well it depends on what he means.
I don't think the chants should stop, but
I can see the problem with offending
fans from the opposing teams.
TMD: I guess. So have you ever
known anyone with scurvy?
R: I think that disease died out in the
18th Century.
TMD: That's too bad, I thought my
third grade teacher had scurvy. So do
you like Taco Bell?
R:No.
TMD: That's horrible.
R: Well I like to think of it as Toxic
Hell.
TMD: Well that's about it. Is there
anyone you would like to make a shout
out to.
R: I would shout out to my girlfriend
