Ohmigod, hesitant random is 'good girl'
The Michigan Daily - Weekend Magazine
A guide to who's where,
what's happening and why T e We e d Ls
you need to be there..Th e k n Ls
By Charles Paradis
Daily Weekend Editor
The Michigan Daily: Hi, is
Emily there?
Random: Actually no, but I can
take a message.
TMD: My name is Charles, I
work for The Michigan Daily. I'm
trying to do the Random Student
Interview this week. Would you be
interested?
R: I don't know
TMD: Why not? We'll only use
your first name.
R: I have a really unique first
name and everyone will know it is
me.
TMD: What is it?
R: Antoneta.
TMD: Antoneta, that's a lovely
name.
(After a brief and unfunny
exchange, random agrees to do the
interview. It was the best decision of
her life.)
TMD: Do you like the wave?
R: Yeah.
TMD: I hate it. And, what's more,
these guys who sit in front of me at
the game hate me because I hate the
wave.
Do you think that is a good reason
to hate someone?
R: Whatever floats your boat.
TMD: Hmm ... speaking of boats,
where's your favorite place to surf in
Michigan?
R: I don't surf.
TMD: I don't think you can even
surf in Michigan.
If you had to take a bath in some-
thing other than water what would
you choose?
R: Chocolate, because you can do
a lot of things with it.
TMD: Given the Lawn Mower,
the Sprinkler and the Boxer, what is
your favorite frat-floor dance move?
R: The Sprinkler.
TMD: Do you know who
Lelawala is?
R: No.
TMD: She's the Maiden of the
Mist at Niagara Falls. Have you ever
been to the falls?
R: Yeah, once.
TMD: And you don't remember
Lelawala? I'm disappointed. This
isn't starting out too well. Can you
name a condom brand other than
Trojan or Lifestyles?
R: No, because I'm a good girl.
TMD: Along those same lines, if
you were to name a sexual pose,
what would you call it?
R: Iplead the fifth.
TMD: When was the last time
you popped your shirt at someone?
R: Never. I'm just a loveable per-
son. I'm a good girl.
TMD: You should try popping
your shirt at someone.
R: Well, I have been working out.
TMD: Have you ever defenestrat-
ed someone you loved?
R: I don't know.
TMD: What about someone you
hated?
R: Sure. I don't know what that
is.
TMD: How do you pronounce the
capital of Kentucky, Louie-ville or
Lua-ville?
R: Louie-ville.
TMD: The correct answer is
Frankfurt.
R: Oh my god. You're mean. I want
to hang up.
TMD: No, wait, we are almost
done. Just a few more questions.
R: I'm missing "General
Hospital."
TMD: Is Murphy Lee the second
coming of Mase, or was Mase the
penultimate great hip-hop sidekick?
R: I don't know, the second one. I
don't know.
TMD: I'd say Mase was the
penultimate great hip-hop sidekick,
but that's just me.
What is the key ingredient of a
good rap battle? Good beats or flow-
ing rap lyrics?
R: It's flowing lyrics.
TMD: I agree. Who's weirder:
Andre 3000 from Outkast or
Pimpbot 2000 from Conan O'Brien?
R: Is that even the guy from
Outkast? I think you are lying to me.
The guy from Outkast.
TMD: What do you think of men
wearing pretty pink?
R: I think they are sexy. I think it
shows confidence; they don't care
what other people think.
TMD: Sticking with recent album
releases, who did you like better -
Dave Matthews addicted to heroin,
or after he had kids?
R: Old Dave Matthews.
TMD: Can you define prestidigi-
tation and use it in a sentence?
R: Um, I'm the dumb person at U
of M, so no.
TMD: What do you think about
Papa John's coming to campus?
R: Are they?
TMD: Yup.
R: I don't know. Pizza is pizza.
TMD: Well, you're wrong. Papa
John's is more than just pizza.
How did last week's loss at
Oregon affect you?
R: Oh my god, I don't want to talk
about it.
TMD: Were you a little disap-
pointed?I
R:I was a lot disappointed.
TMD: What's your prediction for
this week's football game?
R: Are we playing Indiana?
TMD: Yes.
R: We are gonna kick some ass.
TMD: What's the score going to be?
R: 24-7.
TMD: Would you give up on the
team if they lost?
R: No. I'm loyal.
TMD: What was the best thing to
happen to you recently?
R: Hmmm ... I actually got a good
night's sleep. This weekend, when I
went home for a wedding..
TMD: Why don't you usually
sleep?
R: I usually have work to do.
TMD: Are you a movie fan?
R: I don't really have time to
watch a lot of movies, because I
have lots of work.
TMD: What is Pauly Shore's best
movie?
R: Oh my god, that's so old. I
don't even know. He's the guy with
the crazy hair and the weird voice
right?
TMD: The correct answer is
"Bio-Dome." What is Stephen
Baldwin's best movie?
R: I don't know the difference
between Stephen and Alex.
(Editors note: There is no Alex
Baldwin. Random most likely meant
Alec, he of "The Shadow "fame. No
one confuses him with Daniel, the
lost brother)
TMD: The answer is "The Usual
Suspects."
Maybe you'll do better with a
sports question, let's see.
R: (Random groans in dismay.)
Oh, no.
TMD: How do you feel about the
Tigers being one of the worst teams
in history?
R: At least we are good at some-
thing.
TMD: If there might be a little
dust on the bottle, should you let
that fool you about what's on the
inside?
R: In general, no, because outside
appearances don't really matter.
But, if you are taking a drink from
someone and it is dirty, then maybe
you shouldn't, because they might
have laced it with something.
TMD: Well, all in all, you did OK.
You've survived the Random Student
Interview. Is there anything you
would like to say to redeem yourself?
R: Don't call me again.
TMD: Don't worry, we won't, it
wouldn't be random if we did.
Well, look for the interview in
Thursday's Weekend Magazine on
page 2B. It's been real.
