TMD: Did you celebrate Buy Nothing Day this year?
R: Yeah.
TMD: So did you spend time with friends and family instead of going to the mall?
R: Yeah, I spent time with family. Because a lot of people couldn”t get in on Thanksgiving day, we did stuff on Friday.
TMD: What do you think about killing Osamma Bin Laden?
R: I don”t care for killing anyone. I don”t think it”s morally correct and I don”t think it would solve or correct anything that happened on Sept. 11. I think it would make us look just as bad as he did.
TMD: Bush wants to go after Iraq and North Korea. So, do you think we should go kill Sadam Hussein?
R: No, for the same reason that I said we shouldn”t kill Osamma bin Laden.
TMD: But do you think we should take him out of power?
R: If we could take some of his power away without causing bodily harm, we should.

Were you swept up in the insanity of the Taco Bell gordita revolution?
R: I sure was. I love gorditas
TMD: Did you take part in the failed Chalupa revolution?
R: No. Just the gorditas.
TMD: Have you ever just done it?
(Laughing hysterically.) No.
TMD: Well most people have, and I have and I get sick of people telling me to do it over and over again when there are better things to do. Speaking of which, do you watch TV?
R: Yeah.
TMD: How much would someone have to pay you for you to throw away your television for a year?
R: A year!? Wow. It would take $10,000.
TMD: TV is that important to you?
R: TV is vital. What do you do at nights when there”s nothing better to do? You watch TV.
TMD: No, I interview random students.
0Do you know what the adjective snarky means?
R: No idea.
