The Michigan Daily: Hi, is Sarah there?

Random: This is she.

TMD: Hi Sarah, I’m calling from The Michigan Daily, and you’ve been selected to do this week’s Random Student Interview.

R: I have!?

TMD: Yeah, are you excited?

R: Yeah!

TMD: Here we go. First of all, how are you and how was your weekend? What did you do?

R: On Friday night, my friends and I had a “Sex and the City” party and dressed up like the different characters and watched “Sex and the City.”

TMD: Which one did you dress up as?

R: I was Charlotte.

TMD: Is that the hot one?

R: Haha, I don’t know. She has blonde hair.

TMD: Haha, I hope she was the hot one.

R: Yeah, well, if I dressed up like her, I guess she is.

TMD: Oh, that’s pretty cool. OK, now we’re on the real questions. What do you think the better career is: breakdancer or lion tamer?

R: Um … I guess maybe … shoot … a lion tamer?

TMD: Why’s that?

R: Because you probably get to wear a really cool outfit or something.

TMD: Yeah, but you have to work with lions who can maul you to death at any time.

R: Yeah, but as a breakdancer, you have to spin on your head, and I can’t do that at all.

TMD: Yeah, but you can wear those silk pants then.

R: I suppose. I don’t know, that’s a hard question.

TMD: And that’s only the first one, too.

R: I know, I know. I’ll be better.

TMD: All right, what’s the best job to have in the circus?

R: Why are these all circus-related?

TMD: It’s just two questions!

R: I think it would be either a clown or a trapeze person.

TMD: A trapeze person? They’re pretty cool. And they get to wear some cool outfits, too.

R: Yeah! Am I like a really boring interviewee?

TMD: Yeah, kind of. But we’re going to keep going anyway. Who’s your favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?

R: Michelangelo.

TMD: Because he was a party dude?

R: Yeah.

TMD: And he had the nunchucks. Were you a fan of the nunchucks?

R: I was. I was indeed. I wish I had some.

TMD: Why do you think they hung out with Splinter?

R: I don’t know because he was like a weird rat thing and he was kind of big … comparative, you know … I guess maybe they were small turtles. This is all very confusing to me.

TMD: This is like one of those mysteries of the universe.

R: Yeah, but I was a really big fan of the Ninja Turtles.

TMD: Did you like in “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2” where Vanilla Ice was in it?

R: Yeah, that was kind of random, but you have to love Ice Ice … baby.

TMD: Oh, I do. Who was your favorite president?

R: Bill Clinton.

TMD: So you’re not going to Bush’s inauguration?

R: No, but I was invited to it or whatever. My uncle is a congressman, and he’s getting inaugurated too or whatever.

TMD: And you’re not going?

R: No, I can’t. I got this really fancy invitation and all, but I’m not going.

TMD: Oh, that’s too bad. Who’s your favorite pro wrestler of all time?

R: Oh, that one guy … what was his name? Oh crap, what was his name? He like farted on people on something.

TMD: I don’t know of any wrestlers who farted on people.

R: Well, my brother used to watch it, and I would watch it with him. What are some names of some pro wrestlers.

TMD: Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, Stone Cold Steve Austin …

R: I want to say it was like Chewy or something.

TMD: Chewy? Do you think Chewy is a menacing name for a pro wrestler?

R: I don’t know. Hulk Hogan, then.

TMD: Oh, OK. Why do you think wrestlers wrestle in their underwear?

R: Because it shows off all their muscles.

TMD: Why did you say muscles like that?

R: Because they want to show them off, and that’s why I said that … I don’t know.

TMD: Fair enough. Did you jump rope when you were a little girl?

R: Yeah.

TMD: Did you have any songs you would sing?

R: Yeah!

TMD: Name one.

R: Well, we used to do … (singing) Cinderella, dressed in yellow, went upstairs to kiss her fella, made a mistake and kissed a snake, how many doctors did it take? One, two, three, four, five … and then you keep going.

TMD: Wow, that’s the only one I know too!

R: Oh, I should have picked something better.

TMD: Oh, there are other ones?
