What's the worst "day job" you've ever had?

John Moore: This is the worst day job I've ever had. In fact it's the only job I've ever had.

How much time do you spend on the internet each week? What do you do when you're on?

John Moore: Usually about a minute. I am trying to do my grocery shopping on line so I don't have to leave the mansion, but I get bombarded with pornography and have to LOG OFF.

Most people, whether they're willing to admit it or not, have a uniform -- clothing they'll default to when left to their own devices. What's your uniform?

John Moore: Wolf's clothing.

PC or Mac (or Linux/etc.)? Why?

John Moore: Mac...cause it's aspirational, innit?

What is your definition of a "good person"?

John Moore: Someone that just died and left me some cash.

What is the dumbest fashion trend of the last hundred years?

John Moore: Pierced arseholes.

What book (or books) that you read as a child has most influenced your life as an adult?

John Moore: The Three Billy Goats Gruff.

What is the most important trend/cultural paradigm shift of the year 2000?

John Moore: The micro scooter.

Given the choice, would you rather stake your life on your ability to quickly solve a complex mathematical equation, or attempt to fight/escape from a large grizzly bear? Why?

John Moore: Well, funnily enough, this just happened to me...no, actually it didn't. Stupid question...

What's your favorite video/computer game? Don't have one? How about board games?

John Moore: Connect Four...a wife swapping game from the seventies.

If you could elect to never, ever, ever have to kiss one particular person now living, who would that person be?

John Moore: You you turd!

What's your position on gun control?

John Moore: I favour the barrel in mouth position.

What album or albums in your music collection would you have to replace immediately if they wore out, were stolen, etc.?

John Moore: I do not adhere to your petty consumerist scare scenarios. Everything has a shelf life beyond which it becomes irrelevant junk.

Do you use Napster (or any of its variants)? How often? For what? If not, why not?

John Moore: Vodka and Tylenol.

You are able to get away with murder once, and only once. Who, if anyone, do you kill?

John Moore: Everyone.

Paper or plastic? Why?

John Moore: Are we talking plates or dildos?

You're stuck at my house. It's your turn to cook. What meal do you cook me?

John Moore: You.

If you could make a rock 'n' roll porn movie, who would be your two co-stars?

John Moore: Luke Haines and Mariah Carey.

What's the most evil thing in the world?

John Moore: Cat shit.

You have the power to bring one famous dead person back to life. Who's it gonna be?

John Moore: Lee Harvey Oswald.

What was the last pet name used by you to refer to your someone special? What was the last pet name your someone special used to refer to you?

John Moore: Sir -- my late father; Little bastard -- my late father to me.

Was Betsy Ross hot for George Washington?

John Moore: Who cares now? They're both stone cold.

What "official version" of a historical event do you most suspect to be a load of crap?

John Moore: Your election results.

What was the "most wanted" item on your holiday wish list?

John Moore: A third way.

John Moore hereby joins the very short list of artists who've answered our Pointless Questions more than once. Black Box Recorder, meanwhile, will release their second album, The Facts of Life, on March 20th, 2001, complete with the controversial "raw meat" artwork that didn't fly in the UK. Perhaps that's why Moore seems a little irritable.

-- George Zahora
