JoeInterview's Member Feature

This week's interview features yellowDog. This interview was conducted by travbowman.

JoeInterview: First off, how did you find YT?

yellowDog: I was watching The Tonight with Jay Leno and he told a joke about a website where you could goof around on at work that had a link to send you to a "business like site" if your boss came around. I don't remember the joke, unfortunately, but I did remember that the site was called I am Bored. So I guess I was bored one day and checked it out and found the link to YT. I guess I was in the mood to answer questions because that's what I started doing and I eventually made an account and lurked for a while. I had checked out other forum sites before and they just seemed messy and pointless, too many people just posting randomly. YT was different and I could tell right away, it seemed like people knew each other and had actual conversation. So that was it, I just jumped into the fun and madness and here I am.... still.

JI: What would you say is the biggest reason you keep coming back for more?

YD: I'm honestly just an attention whore. I want people to read my words and laugh and admire me and want to be me, is that so wrong?

JI: How long have you lived in Las Vegas?

YD: 11 miserably hot years. I moved here from Ft. Worth, Texas. It was quite a change, people don't wave or smile at you here. Everyone here just seems preoccupied with being negative, which in turn makes me negative toward them, which makes me as much of an ass hat as they are. I haven't really gambled yet, which is our privilege, but I'm sure I could utilize that into my life in a positive way, no?

JI: You recently cut several inches off your hair. Any particular reason for the change?

YD: To get a job in a nice casino, which are admittedly very good jobs, you can't look like no hippie. Also, I was getting tired of the Jesus comparisons. It was over 10 inches, by the way. It will be donated Al Roker or Patrick Stewart, I believe. I guess it's also nice to have a man's hair cut (that's right ladies: man)

JI: What kind of casino job are you looking to acquire?

YD: ANYTHING. Just to get my foot in the door. But I've focusing on busing or hosting at one of the restaurants. You seem like you don't have a lot of material to go off of here. You wanna ask about my guitar skills? Then I suggest asking about my skills with the ladies.

JI: How many ladies have your mad guitar skills landed you so far?

YD: Well as I'm sure you know, Joe, it's never enough. Though I suspect once my talents bring me moneyz I can be sure to score several. I'm under the impression that girls love money, and drama! I'm a simple man with simple needs and because of that I present little to no drama in any of my relationships. I'm very easy going. I don't think girls like that enough. They WANT to be worried if they're being cheated on, they WANT something to freak out about and yell at you over. But I am getting older and hopefully the women I will meet in the future will be different from what i have known in the past. But as far ass my guitar skills, no one questions them, and by guitar never talks back. So there's one relationship I am secure in.

JI: What song immediately gets the babes to throw themselves at you?

YD: Apparently every girl ever loves "Tears in Heaven" by Clapton.

JI: Haha...that's sick. When out drinking, what's your drink of choice?

YD: You have to understand that I just turned 21, so I'm not completely settled into the bar scene. I like Blue Moon for beer, that's cool, right? Also, taking a tip from one of my favorite movies, I tried a white Russian and I love 'em. I am a lightweight, tho, I try not to drink too much or I'll start feeling people up without their permission. Oh.. also, even tho it's totally trendy, I gotta say I love Jager shots. Things like whiskey and vodka are a little too harsh sometimes, but I can always chill with some cold Jager.

JI: What was your 21st birthday like?

YD: It was OK. I went out to eat with two of my friends then we met up with some people and headed to a couple of bars, of course. Then we went to a strip club. There was one stripper that really liked me. I mean it! STOP LAUGHING. I was broke and she was still paying me lots of attention. It was noting too crazy but it was definitely a good night.

JI: What seems more likely: You dating a stripper or a YTer?

YD: If it's an Asian stripper... then I have to go with stripper. But I'm sure if all YTers were magically placed in one city I would find a few lucky ladies to court.

JI: So are you saying that if any female YTers happen to be visiting Las Vegas, that you'd be willing to show them a good time?

YD: All I'm saying right now is "OBAMAAAAAAA OBAMAAAA CHAAAANGE OBAMAAAAA!!!!" but yeah, sure, if they don't mind paying.

JI: What're your thoughts on politics in general?

YD: I think modern American politics is like Showtime at the Apollo, we boo anyone who doesn't constantly please us right the f*ck off stage. So I don't think any of these radical people need to worry about Barrack Hussein Obama turning us in a Socialist or Communist nation. He has 4 years to either do something or not and if we're not impressed then we'll probably look else where. The Bush Admin. got away with so much and still lots of people are ignorant to to how blindly they followed him. But he was white... I just don't think a black man can get away with it, too many will be watching his ass. I personally think he has the intelligence and fortitude to do what's right and be the exact opposite of what we just had.

But my thoughts really: it's bollocks. It's a greedy system of control. But we need control, humans. We need an authority to guide us. Just like we need a Mommy and Daddy and a pretend magical Daddy up in the sky in case real Daddy isn't good enough. The only way we wouldn't need to be controlled was if everyone worked together to achieve the same goal: comfort and happiness in survival. But there's just too many of us and we're too different. This true happiness may come only after a disaster. After MANY die and the rest come together.

But they'd probably find something to argue about...

JI: Whose humour do you always appreciate when you hear it/read it/see it?

YD: Is this where I'm supposed to give a shout out? What is this TRL? Speaking of which: can you believe the only show on MTV that still centered around music was canceled? I can. Today's music isn't half as artistic as the writing on the Hills or any other reality show.

But to answer your question... I'll say Killer_Tofu, she's as immature and sexual perverse as me. I'd love to bring her home to meet my mom.

but tbh, I mostly stay in the background at YT. I'm not as involved as I was when I first joined. Those were the days, I tell ya. You know I used to do my high schooling online? Which meant most of the time I was on YT instead of studying.

JI: It doesn't have to just be YTers. What about writers/actors/humourists in general?

YD: I've always appreciated George Carlin and Howard Stern. I think both men are smart and sensible, but don't try to sugar coat the world. They can admit their faults and make people laugh while doing so. While people like Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh yell about morality yet have more secrets than they care to admit. Mitch Hedberg was also a great comedian. Random and hilarious, I loved his weird view of little things. I was very sad when he died, which happened a couple of weeks before Pope John Paul passed. Everyone was like saying "The Pope died!" and I would come back with "MITCH HEDBERG DIED!"

I also used to read Maddox all the time, though lately he doesn't have much new stuff to read.

JI: What's your favourite Mitch Hedberg bit?

YD: "Escalators are the best invention because they can never break, they can only become stairs. There should be a sign that says 'Escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience.'"

Or maybe the one where he says someone told him to move from where he was sitting because he was blocking a fire exit... "As if there was a fire I would just continue to sit here."

JI: What's your forte in the kitchen?

YD: HA! Breakfast burritos and sex on the table. Though that second one has never actually happened, I'm sure it would be awesome... for me. Also, I guess i can put a pretty good sandwich together, but who can't?

JI: Should I be surprised that the sandwich mention did not lead to the obvious meat and mayonnaise joke?

YD: gross dude, who do you think I am?

JI: Is there any topic which can't be joked about?

YD: hmmmmm. Rape? no. Abortion? no, that's hilarious...Oh, yeah: starving Africans. SIKE! honestly I don't think there is. of course I can be serious when it's called for, but I have always liked to be edgy. I was the first kid in my elementary school to say "damn."

JI: What serious topic always seems to draw your attention?

YD: Medical stuff is interesting. So was this election. I like travel shows and the Antique Roadshow... lol. Like I said, I'm not too serious of a guy, but I can be.

JI: Travel shows, eh? What place have you never been that you've always found fascinating?

YD: I haven't been anywhere. Texas, Nevada, and California. that's about it.

I was watching a show on Ireland (my homeland) last night. It looked beautiful and green, and cheery! A good place to drink and see some sights. I'd love to go to France, Paris of course. Any Ladies interested... in paying my way?

The UK, just cuz... why not? I do an ok British accent, i could try to blend in. f*ck it, I'll go anywhere. anywhere but here would be nice. I think I might like to live in California later in life. I love the beach, it's so calming. I also need to go to New York at least once, it looks so... big! I like being in the middle of big things, it doesn't make me feel small. It makes me feel connected to the greatness of it all.

JI: Any final words of wisdom to share with your fellow YTers?

YD: Don't take this site too seriously and live life to the fullest, duuuuuudes! (sounds cliche' but it's good advice, I'm sure of it)

Language Barrier
Excerpt: Ten miles across the dusty desert, we made our first stop of the day. Hovering over us at its zenith like a watchful foe, the sun’s rays burned across every step of our path. It was a long walk, but my body was trained to withstand even harsher situations.
