[quote author=angstboy board=spotlight thread=4459 post=136784 time=1243874779Favorite Caps moment?
For me personally, it has to be being at the last game of the 2007-2008 season when they won the SE Division. Amazing experience. [/quote]

I'm always surprised when Caps fans don't say "the Stanley Cup Finals against Detroit." Yeah they got swept (I think) but it's as close as they've ever gotten. But then again, a lot of Caps fans seem to think the franchise started when they drafted Ovechkin.

Questions:

Would you rather live with a Leprechaun or a Banshee?

Most annoying Punster & Why?

Favorite vacation spot ever?

Vacation you wanna take?

Favorite beer?

I know its angst's spotlight but why would you think their favorite moment should be a devastating loss? I'm a Knicks fan and sure as hell my favorite moments aren't losing two Finals. Its actual VICTORIES and moments of celebration and joy. Even if those moments weren't as far along in the playoffs as the failures, the failure doesn't leave a better memory.

[BC]

Ok, favorite memory would be WINNING the Eastern Conference and GETTING to the Stanley Cup Finals. Better word choice?

[Lucky]

Fair enough, yeah. Still, emotion is emotion and all sorts of stuff can make some "lesser" moments stick in your memory more. I mean, I've seen 4 WS wins for the Yanks but something like Aaron Boone's extra inning HR or Jeter's "Mr. November" or catch were more dramatic even if they meant less to team history.

Obviously in angst's case being there in person was probably the pusher.

[BC]

Agreed. I was stating a fact in general that a lot of Caps fans I meet (I live in DC/NoVA) seem to be recent conversions since Ovechkin was drafted & has won the MVP and they have no idea the Caps were ever in the Stanley Cup Finals.

So, you're hungry at 1 a.m. Where do you go? Please note, the greasier the answer, the better.
The problem with living out in the suburbs is that there aren't any great late-night places to eat unless you want to go to one of the many college towns in the area. Also, I usually don't eat after 10pm if I can't help it. I'm an old man. I'll be 34 tomorrow for Chrissake. I can't go out eating all kinds of garbage at 1am anymore. Wendy's.

You have a Wii, right? What are you playing right now?
I was having fun slicing through Madworld a few weeks ago, but I haven't picked it up in a while.

Metroid: Other M... Thoughts?
Looks neat. I LOVED Prime. Still one of my all-time faves. Other M looks like it's going back to the Metroid roots a bit with some 3rd person/side scrolling stuff. One thing I DON'T like about the newer Metroid games is all the story-focus they're doing. I don't care about other characters. I like being given an objective and having the story unfold as I go along. That was the strength of the Metroid games. Action action action. I don't care where Samus came from, or what organizations she's allied with or whatever. I wanna kill space pirates, upgrade my weapons, and find secret passages.

I got into the Caps RIGHT after that happened, so it really doesn't resonate for me. I'm not a fair-weather Ovie guy though. That's DC sports fandom for ya. Plenty of support for the Redskins and whoever else happens to be hot this month.

Would you rather live with a Leprechaun or a Banshee?
Leprechaun. I'd be happy missing some of my stuff every once in a while in exchange for some peace and quiet. Plus I'm short, we'd probably get along.

Most annoying Punster & Why?
For me personally, it's Dev. I've made my reasons crystal clear in other threads. That's not to say I don't like Dev, because I like him fine, I just find one of his defining characteristics to be generally annoying.

Favorite vacation spot ever?
Gotta be my honeymoon in Alaska. I'm much more of a cold-weather type than a hot-weather type. Gimmie a cool breeze and the shade of a mountain over blistering sun and sand any day.

Vacation you wanna take?
Kinda went over this a little before, but if I'm gonna go big (yet realistic) I'd have to say Australia. If I'm gonna go bigger (and UNrealistic) I'd think an icebreaker tour of Antarctica would be totally awesome. Or a ride into orbit.

Favorite beer?
The default hanging-out-at-a-party-with-20-people beer is Miller Lite. I wouldn't call it my favorite, but it's my most regular. After that, I like Killian's and Blue Moon a lot.

1. Do you and the Missus want kids?
2. Will you cut the umbilical cord?
4. If we banded together and paid you 1 Million dollars, would you take your child's placenta and make a milkshake out of it and give it to someone to drink and say it was a strawberry milkshake?

- How about 10,000. or 1000. How about 100?
- What if it gave superpowers, would you drink it?
- Who would you spring this shake on?

[Byrntrigan]

32. What's the one defining moment in your life when you look back thus far?
33. Why?

[ALL CAPS]

1. Do you and the Missus want kids?
Yup, but probably only one. The max would be two. Our reasoning is two-fold: 1) My wife has type-1 diabetes and the pregnancy process can be very difficult on her and the kid, and 2) we have friends with more than one kid and just spending an afternoon with them is physically draining.

2. Will you cut the umbilical cord?
With my TEETH. No. With type-1 diabetes they insist on delivering early and via c-section. I probably won't be allowed in the room. Which, based on my squeamish attitude towards real-life blood and gore, is perfectly fine by me.

4. If we banded together and paid you 1 Million dollars, would you take your child's placenta and make a milkshake out of it and give it to someone to drink and say it was a strawberry milkshake?
Let me get this straight, you want me to take my child's placenta, a useless hunk of organic matter that is going to be thrown away anyway, and convince someone else to drink it and in return, you give ME a million bucks? Where do i sign up?

- How about 10,000. or 1000. How about 100?
Hell, I'll do it for free. Cory will probably pay us BOTH when he learns he's drinking placenta.

- What if it gave superpowers, would you drink it?
Depends, is it super-strength/flight kind of superpowers or is is change red lights to green by staring at them superpowers?

- Who would you spring this shake on?
As mentioned, Cory.

32. What's the one defining moment in your life when you look back thus far? Why?
It's odd. It's probably also one of my biggest regrets too, but looking back, I know my life would have been TOTALLY different had I chosen differently.

The summer of 1994, I decided to leave the engineering program at University of Maryland because a) I felt like, even though I love science, I'd been pushed along that track my entire school-going life when what I really liked to do was art, and b) I was angsty and directionless and needed a change. I don't regret that decision at all. What I DO regret is that I'd applied for a vacant cartoonist slot in the school newspaper, The Diamondback, and needless to say, I got a call that summer, explaining that they wanted me to take the spot in the paper. But since I'd already made the decision to leave UMD, I couldn't do it. The guy that eventually got the spot? Frank Cho. His strip University Squared evolved into the syndicated strip Liberty Meadows, and he got lots of other work in the comics industry. I look back and see it as a HUGE opportunity wasted, but at the same time I realize that the track I took from there led me to my internet job, meeting all of my best friends, my wife, etc. So, while I regret not taking that opportunity, I'm very happy with where I ended up. I wouldn't be who I am today had i not made that choice.

What will you do for your birthday?

Did you get any gifts yet?

[ALL CAPS]

What will you do for your birthday?
Sit around in misery from having a HORRIBLE allergy symptom day and draw a new CK tonight. Seriously, it's like someone is inflating a balloon in the back of my nasal passages and it pushes on my soft pallet, my ears and my neck. And then there's the allergies. This weekend I'm gonna go out to dinner with the wife and meet some friends out for drinks.

Did you get any gifts yet?
Aside from well-wishes on facebook, nope.

[BTR]

Where can I get this McPlacentaFlurry and how much do I have to pay for it?

As an atheist, do you get mild panic attacks or chest pain or other physical symptoms at night when you can't sleep and you think about death and the loss of existence as you know it and how cruel and short life is?

What did you eat at Hardees that gave you such diarrhea?

[ALL CAPS]

Where can I get this McPlacentaFlurry and how much do I have to pay for it?
The Greater Baltimore Medical Center and one million space bucks.

As an atheist, do you get mild panic attacks or chest pain or other physical symptoms at night when you can't sleep and you think about death and the loss of existence as you know it and how cruel and short life is?
No, but as a human male that happens when I wake up next to your mom.

What did you eat at Hardees that gave you such diarrhea?
Their Diarrhea Burger. Their advertising is a little misleading. But only a little.

I have a splitting headache, not a splitting ass hole!

[ALL CAPS]

It's a) because you're gay, and b) the shockwave of the Habs sucking just hit you last night.

What is your favorite CK strip?
It's either the Battlestar Gallactica Issue because it's awesome, or RenFair Part 3 where I spawned an internet revolution with the catchphrase "your tits are being unreasonable." Also the panel where Cory's eyes burned out is one of my favorite things I've drawn for the strip so far.

Do you [have] another favorite webcomic (not Secret Jew, because the fact that it sucks is not a secret)?
I don't read them regularly, but XKCD and Perry Bible Fellowship always deliver the goods. I used to read Penny Arcade, but then I realized I don't care nearly enough about video games to get half the jokes. I used to read 8-Bit Theater all the time... but then I just stopped. Garfield Minus Garfield is AWESOME.

Had any Big Red lately?
NO, goddamit. I recenty checked their distribution network on their website and as luck would have it, they distribute to VA, WV, and PA, but not MD. That's right. Big Red and Sonic are too cool for Maryland.

Favorite restaurant?
That's a tough one, but I'm gonna have to got with Melting Pot. It's a fondue place. The wife and I go there about once a year to celebrate our anniversary or sometimes to treat ourselves. It's the only restaurant I can honestly say I get excited about going to. There's also that small mexican place I like called El Salto.

Is there a chance in hell the awesome creators of CK could ever make it to Comic-Con?

[ALL CAPS]

Is there a chance in hell the awesome creators of CK could ever make it to Comic-Con?
Is there a specific one you mean? San Diego, I'd assume. Maybe? Probably no. We will be at the Baltimore ComicCon this year... back to where it all started. Depending on our reception (i.e. how much money we make on CK stuff) I'd be open to going to other Cons. If you have the means, please come out/down to Baltimore and party down with us fools. And by "party down" I of course mean buy a lot of CK stuff and then leave me the fuck alone.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Yeah I meant the one in San Diego.

[OpTard]

rirruto. nice.

anyway, do you know how expensive doing san diego is? a 4 day show, flights, hotels, food, time off. not to mention it's next to impossible to get an artist alley table, so if you wanna go you have to spring for a small press booth and now you have to add that to the expense.

san diego's a tough one.

[salmonjunkie]

Fuck dude, your spotlight HAD to be while I was on tour. I keep all of my stock questions in a word file at my office computer.
