0 2B - The Michigan Daily - Weekeld Mavaite - Thursday, February 21, 2002 The Michigan Daily - Weekeld Magaziie - Ran doms want USA to win more medals By Manish R4a1i Daily Arts Writer The Michigan Daily: Hello, is Daniel there, and if so, may I speak with him? Random: This is he. TMD: Hi, This is Manish with The Michigan Daily. You've been chosen for Weekend Magazine's random student interview. Do you have a little bit to do this? R: How much time will it take? TMD: About 10 minutes, maybe 12. R: OK, I'll do it. TMD: Have you heard about all this crap going on down in Georgia right now? R: Uhh ... no. TMD: It's that guy, he runs a ceme- tery and instead of cremating the bodies, he just shoved them in a box. R: Oh yeah, I've heard of that ... that's weird. TMD: No kidding. The reason why I ask is because I'd like to know: When you die, would you rather your body be buried, cremated, mummified or left in I the woods for the wild dogs to eat? R: (laughter) I'd rather be buried. TMD: Why's that? R: I just think it's the proper way to go, after you're dead. TMD: Why is being buried more proper than being cremated? R: That's just a personal thing, it depends on what the person wants for himself. TMD: On the theme of dying ... have you seen the "Rosie O'Donnell Show?" R: Yeah, I've seen it ... I don't watch it. TMD: That's OK, as long as you know who Rosie O'Donnell is. If the last thing you can do before dying is have an intimate (and I mean intimate) moment with Rosie O'Donnell or else consume three gallons of Meijer brand dog food, which would you choose? R: (laughter) That's a tough choice ... ummmm ... I don't know, I guess I think I'd go with talking to her. TM: Oh, this isn't about talking to her, my man. This is about having an intimate moment with her. A really, real- ly intimate moment. R: Geez, I don't know ... TMD: Intimate moment with Rosie O'Donnell or three gallons of dog food. R: I just don't know if I could pick. TMD: I tend to agree with you ... how could you pick between O'Donnell and dog food? Impossibility, I think I'd just bite the bullet and kill myself. So let me ask you a personal question: Are you slightly embarrassed to be an American, knowing that the Germans are beating the crap out of us in the Olympics? R: No. But in your own country, it would be nice if we won more medals than everyone else. TM]D: Do you know what "WWJD" stands for? R: I don't know what it stands for but I've heard of it before. It something reli- gious, right? TMD: Yeah, it means "What Would Jesus Do?" What do you think Jesus would do if he saw that the Germans were beating the crap out of us in the Olympics? R: I don't know, he probably doesn't play favorites, he probably just watches, just like everyone else. He probably doesn't root for anyone. TMD: Do you believe in Jesus? R:Yes. TMD: On a scale of I to 10, 10 being "extremely" and I being "not at all": How pissed would you be if I told you that I'm from MCI and this whole "interview" nonsense was just a way of keeping you on the phone so that I can now offer you a great deal on local phone service? R: (laughter) Probably a 10. Yeah, I'd be pissed if you were from MCI. TM: Because, seriously ... have you ever thought about all the money you might save if you switched? I could offer you a great deal ..' what phone service are you using right now? R: I have no idea, it's provided by the University. Is this really about phone service? TMD: No, I really am with the Michigan Daily, so you don't have to be pissed at all.
