You are seriously ill. There are two vaccines that will save your life, but both have side effects: one will permanently eliminate your sense of taste, and the other will permanently eliminate all feeling in your genitals. Which vaccine would you choose?
Manda Rin: Taste. They say it's your sense of smell that makes food appealing, anyway.
Plus I would say that genitals are pretty important to me...
Somehow you've gotten into a fight with someone twice your size. Where do
you aim the first punch?
Manda Rin: Most people are twice my size anyway! Straight into their privates! Unless
they chose the vaccine that eliminates feeling from that area.
You've somehow been given the chance to spend the day with a character (not
an actor) from any film or television program. Who do you choose?
Manda Rin: Ali G -- he can teach me to rap gangsta stylee.
If you could instantly learn to play one instrument that you don't
currently play, what would it be?
Manda Rin: Drums. It's the only instrument that I can't really play at all. To play
like Janet Weiss would be nice.
What month of the year do you least anticipate? Why?
Manda Rin: December -- it's so cold, dark (only light for a few hours sometimes), and
the city is full of crazy Christmas shoppers which I no doubt have to join
at some point and spend a stupid amount of money (that's the intention,
anyway, before I spot things that I like for myself).
What animal would you most like to house in your back yard, if you could?
Manda Rin: None, it would be pretty sick on the animal as my back yard is really small.
If it was bigger then a lion would be nice. That would stop people breaking
into my house, and I've always liked cats.
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Manda Rin: A primary school teacher or art teacher.
If you could buy any rare collection in the world, which collection would
you choose? (This doesn't have to be a famous collection...but it can be.)
Manda Rin: Vintage Japanese robots.
What's the best advice you've ever received? Who gave it to you?
Manda Rin: If you smile you release happy hormones -- My aunt Natalia.
You've been invited to perform as the middle act in a three-act bill. You
get to choose the other two artists. Who opens for you, and who follows
you?
Manda Rin: Les Rythmes Digitales opens to get the crowd moving, and Destiny's Child
closes.
You've been placed in the Witness Protection Program, and must change your
name. You're able to pick your new name. What do you call yourself?
Manda Rin: John.
What lesson should the world learn from the failure of all those dotcom
businesses?
Manda Rin: If you have $5 million do you really need 100 million?
What steps should airlines take to help avoid a repeat of the September
11th tragedy?
Manda Rin: No carry on luggage whatsoever, and no clothes allowed -- naked is the way
forward.
What is the greatest invention of the last ten years?
Manda Rin: Simpsons toys .
What toy from your childhood would you most like to track down now?
Manda Rin: My old Spiderman and His Amazing Friends videos.
Which is more dangerous in the wrong hands -- guns or knowledge?
Manda Rin: Guns -- I'm happy they're not legal in this country. I can enjoy road rage
so much better.
