Hefner


You could stand to read Splendid's review of Boxing Hefner -- or even to buy Hefner CDs at Insound.

IF YOU WERE OFFERED A 60-SECOND SPOT DURING PRIME-TIME TELEVISION TO SAY OR PROMOTE ANYTHING YOU WANTED, HOW WOULD YOU USE THE TIME?

Darren: I would sit there and fart and pick my nose.

YOUR HOME IS BURNING DOWN. EVERYONE -- FAMILY, PETS, ETC. -- IS SAFELY OUT OF IT. YOU HAVE TIME TO GO IN AND "SAVE" ONE ITEM. WHAT DO YOU GO AFTER?

Darren: I have an orange lamp that's pretty.

IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO PISS OFF YOUR DENTIST, WHAT FOOD WOULD YOU EAT RIGHT BEFORE HAVING YOUR TEETH CLEANED?

Darren: This a question I dont paricularly care for. I am very grateful to my dentist at the moment as he just did some emergency work to save me from excruciating tooth ache, and he gave me loads of valium.

WHICH WOULD BE MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU: FREE HEALTH-CARE FOR EVERYONE, OR A FREE COLLEGE EDUCATION FOR EVERYONE?

Darren: Free Health Care obviously. The horse must always be placed before the cart.

OTHER THAN PLAYING MUSIC, WHAT OTHER SKILLS DO YOU HAVE THAT WOULD ENTERTAIN A PAYING AUDIENCE?

Darren: I am an excellent, excellent map reader. I could navigate the audience home after the show.

YOU ARE LOCKED IN A ROOM WITH A TICKING TIME BOMB. WITH 30 SECONDS LEFT, YOU'VE GOT TO DECIDE WHETHER TO CUT THE RED WIRE, THE BLUE WIRE OR THE GREEN WIRE. HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHICH WIRE TO CUT?

Darren: What would be the point of trying to apply a logic to it? I would close my eyes and just cut one.

IF YOU HAD TO EAT THE SAME THREE MEALS EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD THEY BE?

Darren: Chicken Rogan Josh, a cheese omlette, pasta and sundried tomatoes.

IF YOU COULD REQUIRE A VENUE TO GIVE YOU ANY ONE ITEM, HOWEVER EXTRAVAGANT, BESIDES THE USUAL WATER/SODA/BEER, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Darren: A laundry service.

WHAT BAD HABIT DO YOU HAVE THAT WOULD BE MOST LIKELY TO CAUSE YOU TO LOSE A 9 TO 5 OFFICE JOB?

Darren: I have a terrible memory, it would and nearly has lost me a job.

YOU'VE JUST FALLEN OFF A 200-STOREY BUILDING. THE FALL WILL TAKE AT LEAST 15 SECONDS. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ON THE WAY DOWN?

Darren: You see, I understand why you ask these type of questions, and I'm sure there will be many witty and varied answers to this one but the only truthful thing that anyone could say they would think about is OH SHIT I'M GOING TO DIE!!! OH SHIT I'M GOING TO DIE!!! OH SHIT I'M GOING TO DIE!!!

IF YOU COULD WALK INTO ANY PAINTING OR PHOTO AND ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE THE MOMENT IT DEPICTS, WHICH PAINTING/PHOTO WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Darren: A still from one of the orgy scenes in Caligula.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE "SUPER POWER" (HEAT VISION, FLIGHT, ETC.), WHAT SUPER POWER WOULD YOU WANT?

Darren: The ability to manage my accounts correctly and on time.

IF YOUR FANS DECIDED TO SHOW THEIR APPRECIATION BY THROWING SOMETHING "USEFUL" AT YOU WHILE YOU'RE PLAYING, WHAT WOULD YOU MOST WANT THEM TO THROW?

Darren: The words and chords to the songs.

IF, IN ADDITION TO YOUR CURRENT RESIDENCE, YOU COULD MAINTAIN ANOTHER HOME ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?

Darren: New York, maybe Berlin, maybe Brussells.

YOU'VE HEARD THE EXPRESSION "THEY COULDN'T PAY ME ENOUGH TO DO THAT JOB." FOR YOU, WHAT IS "THAT JOB"?

Darren: Pretty much anything in the music industry other then the job I have, luckily.

WHICH WOULD YOU LEAST WANT POSTED ON THE INTERNET: NUDE PICTURES OF YOU, OR YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER(S)? WHY?

Darren: Doh! Credit Card numbers!! I dont really need to tell you why, do I? You didn't mean to ask that, did you? You didn't think it through, did you?

SUDDENLY, YOUR DENTAL WORK HAS STARTED PICKING UP A RADIO STATION -- 24 HOURS A DAY. WHAT SORT OF RADIO PROGRAMMING WILL DRIVE YOU MAD THE FASTEST?

Darren: Interesting, you have a dental fixation, like me. Any radio station would do it, none in particular.

IF EVERYONE HAD TO WEAR A HAT AT ALL TIMES, WHAT KIND OF HAT WOULD YOU WEAR?

Darren: A big ugly stupid one.

WHAT WORLD RECORD WOULD YOU MOST WANT TO SET?

Darren: The funniest and fastest ever completion of a questionaire from Splendid.

WHAT ANIMAL SOCIAL TRAIT DO YOU MOST WISH HUMANS WOULD ACQUIRE?

Darren: Not wiping their arse after they shit, that would be great.

WHAT PART OF YOUR BODY WOULD YOU LEAST MIND HAVING AMPUTATED?

Darren: My mouth.
