Muhtick: Anything seem odd to you?

Meghan: Your shirt.

Muhtick: What about it?

Meghan: Its scary.

Muhtick: How satisfied are you with the seams in your clothing?

Meghan: Not good, because the crotch of my leggings are, and my legs are, all wearing through cause they’re old.

Muhtick: Are cloth napkins in a public restaurant a good idea?

Meghan: No, well actually they could be because then they could just be washing them and there would be less garbage everywhere.

Muhtick: Do you like it when you go into a restaurant and there is a cloth napkin rather than a paper napkin?

Meghan: If its a casual place i find it out of place.

Muhtick: But once you are there and actually using it do you enjoy using the cloth napkin?

Meghan: No, I hate using cloth napkins.

Muhtick: How is the public treating you these days?

Meghan: The general public is treating me just fine, no complaints i guess.

Muhtick: Is private, personal or public?

Meghan: Private is now public cause everything private is on the internet. We throw everything up there.

Muhtick: How much personal credit should one have?

Meghan: As much as they deserve.

Muhtick: So they should have as much as they feel they deserve?

Meghan: No, as much as others feel they deserve.

Muhtick: Are you into shrimp?

ABaum: Yes, I am into shrimp.

Muhtick: What do you like about shrimp?

ABaum: I think i like theeeeee, potentially disgusting way that people feel about the coating of shrimp, the skeleton, and how they wont eat it, but i always eat it so i can eat shrimp much faster than the average person and so enjoy it more.

Muhtick: What was your favorite scene in Forest Gump?

ABaum: The war scene. Where he runs everyone out of the forest. Its a mixture of comedy and drama.

Muhtick: He save Lt. Dan in that scene right?

ABaum: Yeah, and he saves everyone.

Muhtick: And then Lt. Dan comes back and resents him for saving him right?

ABaum: Yeah probably a little bit of a Valhalla complex.

Muhtick: How do you feel about the contemporary representation of retards?

ABaum: I haven’t seen “hows your news”. In a way all reality shows are somewhat bent towards our view of retards. We like to see our flaws magnified in other people to make us feel better about ourselves.

Muhtick: What does “represent”mean?

ABaum: I sometimes feel petty and kind of like a dick by the way im treating people, and if i see someone on tv being a dick, more than me or about the same, i can kind of connect with that and say ok maybe im not so bad. In that way he is representing that side of me. Its an impossible question to answer at this moment.

Muhtick: How mean have you been?

ABaum: Ive been really mean, oh i dont know, like uh, just purposefully making people feel bad even though they are trying to have a good time.

Muhtick: What is the best bean youve seen?

ABaum: I would say, the best bean ive seen, would be not a bean at all but like a seed pod that you cant really eat, but from the trees, they hang down really long.

Muhtick: Who was the nicest black person you have ever met?

Dan: I think the nicest black person i have ever met was a guy who worked at Johns Place. He was the host. Older guy.

Muhtick: What did you like about him?

Dan: I dont know he was just really formal, and just very welcoming.

Muhtick: When has a white person ever made you feel bad?

Dan: Probably just every day routine, cause victoria is full of white people.

Muhtick: Any particular events come to mind?

Dan: I remember being pissed off maybe a week ago with this guy that uh hit my car cause it was busy traffic time, and i was turning, he was crossing, and he gets pissed off, doesn’t say anything and knocks on my spoiler on the back of my car.

Muhtick: Is chess a racial struggle?

Dan: I dont think so, no. Its a game based on ability and its not racial.

Muhtick: Do you have a favorite chess piece? Whats your favorite chess piece?

Dan: By its function or the way it looks?

Muhtick: Uh, choose, it doesn’t matter.

Muhtick: Yeah the queen is like, super charged eh?

Dan: Mhm.

Muhtick: Yeah totally, was it like a big horse?

Dan: Yeah.
