We are happy to bring you the finest in rare

Mr. Shaw,
we really like your site, deaddrop.us... are
you at all concerned that people visiting
your site might get the wrong impression by
the title? |
| shaw: |
Hell, I'm happy if it makes any impression.
Besides, a little controversy goes a long
way. |
| gg.com: |
It does indeed... speaking
of which, you have had many interesting interviews
on your site... don't you think that the people
who frequently visit your site might find
that your doing an interview with us to be,
perhaps, a little controversial? |
| shaw: |
I can only hope. We might just be able
to sully my goody goody rep. |

Is there any truth to
the rumor that you are currently employed
by Topps trading card company and are, in
fact, a baseball card salesman from Wyoming? |
| shaw: |
(silence) |
| gg.com: |
Mr. Shaw? Topps trading
cards? We deserve the truth! |
| shaw: |
I've never been to Wyoming. Too many damn
cults and militias. |
| gg.com: |
Good, you passed our
"baseball card shill" test... on
the IRC chat network, you use the handle "WB",
but we don't understand what significance
that handle has for you. Can you explain? |
| shaw: |
I'm actually shilling for Warner Brothers.
Since TW bought them, they've been in the
shitter and are quite desperate for attention. |

We see... If people were
to meet you for the first time, what do you
think would be their first impression? And
please, do not hesitate to use the words "rock
hard abs". |
| shaw: |
Two words: six pack. Of course, they would
be hoisted one can at a time. |
| gg.com: |
You mentioned the word
"shitter" before... if given the
choice, would you rather use a bidet or a
water closet? |
| shaw: |
Nothing says truly clean like warm, scented
water. |
| gg.com: |
Who was your favorite
character from critically acclaimed hit TV
show "Welcome Back, Kotter"? |
| shaw: |
Gotta be Horschack. |
| gg.com: |
As a part time Puppetmaster,
do you have any advice for the would-be ARG
game creators? |
| shaw: |
Just say no. Is it a game? No. |
| gg.com: |
Do you ever think that
robots will save mankind, if there were to
be another ice age? |
| shaw: |
That question really avoids the real issue
of whether mankind is worthy of saving. I
see the likes of Jen Garner and think yes,
but then the boy band phenomena comes to mind
and I change my mind. |
| gg.com: |
Eep oop ark ark moot beyore
bop nook? |
| shaw: |
Not without a side of blowfish bile to wash
it down. |
| gg.com: |
Are there any current
or upcoming ARG projects that have your interest? |
| shaw: |
Oh yeah. Chasing the Wish will be a blockbuster.
The rest seem like slow motion train wrecks.
You know you shouldn't, but you just can't
stop. |
| gg.com: |
And finally, Mr. Shaw...
if there were seventeen words that you would
ever like to say to someone else, what would
those seventeen words be? |
| shaw: |
Pastry, Pastry, Pastry, Pastry, Pastry,
Pastry, Pastry, Pastry, Pastry, Pastry, Pastry,
Pastry, Pastry, Pastry, Pastry. |
| gg.com: |
Um, that's 15. |
| shaw: |
Math was never my strong suit. |
| gg.com: |
Well, thanks for your
time this afternoon Mr. Shaw, and continued
success with your website. |
| shaw: |
Thanks. Who did you say you work for? |
