I'm starting right now. - LSA sophomore Christina Hsu Random likes soundtracks. and the way snails get it on Saturday CAMPUS CINEMA "To be sober more nights of the week than drunk. I've been suc- cessful" - Engineering senior MikeYost Bar Joseph Uu Daly Arts Writer The Michigan Daily: Hi, Is this Isaac? Random: Yeah, who's this? TMD: Hi Isaac, you've been select- ed for the Daily's Random Student Interview. R: That's wonderful. TMD: Who would win in a fight: Tommy Amaker or Lloyd Carr? R: I gotta go with Lloyd. I think he's more seizing. Actually, no, Tommy Amaker would win. Didn't Tommy win a national title as a player? TMD: But Lloyd's won one as a coach. Who knows? Anyway, what is a better movie: "Harry Potter" or "Lord of the Rings?" R: I haven't seen "Lord of the Rings," so I'm going with "Harry Potter." TMD: What do you look for in an ideal girl or guy? The Daily makes no presumption of anyone's sexual orien- tation. R: Strong biceps and size. TMD: What's your favorite book? R: Total Baseball by Bill James. It's my bible. It's all stuff no fluff. TMD: Have you ever had a fluffer- nutter sandwich? R: Have I? I'm eating one right now. TMD: Are you going to tonight's basketball game? R: Yeah, baby. We're 7-6 TMD: Is Daniel Horton not much improved since the first six games? R: I went to the game against Cen- tral Michigan and almost put a bag over my head. TMD: What is a fillip? R: A what? It's a screwdriver or a 61-year-old man I call "dad." TMD: Actually, a fillip is the term for when one holds back his middle finger with his thumb and then lets it go, flicking someone. The definition of pusillanimous is? R: Um, I know this one. Uh ... alright, I'm stumped. TMD: I believe it's to be cowardly. Does that ring any bells? R: Ring any bells? Was it in Harry Potter or Total Baseball? TMD: Have you ever seen two ani- mals copulating on one of those nature programs? If so, which were your favorites? R: Yes, I liked watching snails. It's incredible; they have their sex organs in their neck and they impregnate and get pregnant at the same time. It's like being in the middle part of a train. TMD: That's definitely going in the paper. Have you ever smoked drugs? R:Yes. TMD: Have you ever been strung out on the pot? R:Yes. TMD: What's the weirdest thing that you did while on the pot? R: I once ate Chinese food for three straight days, but weed doesn't affect me much. TMD: Have you ever been drunk? R: I am right now. I'm drinking Miller Lite out of a can. TMD: What's your favorite beer? R: I love all beer equally except for Red Dog, Miller High Life and Coors Extra Gold. TMD: Do you have a girlfriend? R:Yes. TMD: How long have you been dating? R: About six months. TMD: What's the nicest thing that you ever did for her? "I'm resolving to actively partici- apte in my wedding planning. I'm making progress." - Muisic senior Jon Ophoff "To go to the gym, but not h everyday." - LSA seniorAnnie Hunsche Compiled by Graham Kelly R: I made her a three course meal and did all the dishes. TMD: Have you ever heard of Tunji Awajobi? R: No, I have no idea what that is. TMD: Wager a guess as to who/ what that is. R: Is it the Ojibwa teacher here? TMD: No, Tunji used to play bas- ketball at Boston University. Can you break dance? R: I'm afraid not. I've always thought of taking class- es, but I think that if you're Jewish you have to start at the age of four to ever pick it up. TMD: Are you proud of being Jew- ish? R: Occasionally. TMD: When? Hanukkah? R:Yes. TMD: What's the better expression: "Word Life" or "Holla Back"? R: Holla back, no question. I've just got a thing for double-1 words that end n "a." Like "hella," "holla" ... hula spelled incorrectly, you know. TMD: What's your favorite type of music? R: Do soundtracks count? Those then. TMD: What is your favorite sound- track? R: "Aladdin." TMD: Favorite song on "Aladdin?" R: Everybody's favorite, "A Whole New World." Although, I do like that riff-raff, street rat refrain. I believe it's number five. [Singing] Riffraff... street rat ... TMD: If you could make out with one celebrity, who would it be and why? R: That's a tough one. I'm gonna go with Jesus. TMD: What's the reason for that choice? R: He looks like a really good cud- dler. TMD: What would your girlfriend say? R: She'd be happy. She's Catholic. TMD: Would you be on "Joe Mil- lionaire?" R: Yeah, probably. As a girl or a guy? Yeah, I'd be on it. TMD: What's the difference between disorganized and unorgan- ized? R: Uh, disorganized is like a state and unorganized is an adjective. TMD: Couldn't you say "He's dis- organized"? R: Yeah, I guess. What is the differ- ence? TMD: I don't know. I've always wondered. That's why I asked. R: There is none. TMD: When was the last time you engaged in tomfoolery? R: Two nights ago. I was playing poker until the wee hours. TMD: Did you win? R: Yes, I always win. I won about $30. A friend of mine lost pretty early on, but he always loses early. TMD: Nice. Anyway, that's it. Thanks for your time. Bye. Bowling for Columbine See Thursday.
