What exactly is the Hypocritical Mass? The Hypocritical Mass is this company that I kinda made up in the fall of '98. I'm not exactly sure what my reasons were for making it up, but I'm sure it was a combination of my decision to make my various projects public domain. Overnight, there was a name and a logo to go along with the story I was writing as well as the mix tapes I was making for people. Eventually, I stopped writing the story and my mix tape productivity declined and the HCM sat dormant for a while, then came the savior. I decided that I needed another creative outlet and thus the zine Garageland was born. Aside from that, the HCM puts on the Morbidly Obese Reunion concerts and, lately, work has begun on yet another stupid story.

The whole idea of the Hypocritical Mass is a bit of a joke. There is no "mass" to the "hypocritical mass," it's just me...and to a very small extent, my younger brother. So, that's our/my big secret-the whole reason nothing really happens when people would like it to. However, I guess it's fair to say that all the Garageland contributors are members of the HCM, though they don't really get anything for their trouble...maybe a packet of Kool-Aid or a bag of carrots.

Croutons or Bacon Bits? Croutons, but bacon bits if they didn't make your breath stink.

Salad Dressing: Ranch...sometimes Italian

Sport to Watch: Ice hockey and lacrosse

Type of Ice Cream: Cookies n cream; Mint chocolate chip

Pets: A mixed up sort of poodle thing. his name is wilbur, but he answers to "dog" and "wondermutt." He also possesses jedi powers.

Favorite Time of Year?: Winter because it gives you a chance to control the elements. Well, sort of. If it's cold, you can pile on layers of clothes to make yourself warm, whereas if it's summertime and there's this blistering heat, you can strip down do damn near nothing and still be hot as hell.

Name the person that you are friends with that lives the farthest away from you: Miz C.

What was your worst injury? I've discovered that I have a pretty durable body, compared to others. No broken bones or anything like that. I've had some pretty stupid things happen to me because of my own stupidity, though. For example, once, when I was really young, I came out of the bath and sat on a running heat log. As far as actual injuries, during my sophomore year of high school, I had a ton of injuries most of them because of football. A really horrible concussion brought on by me taking my 5' 6", 128 lb frame, running full bore into a 6', 200 pound guy and using my football helmet (with my head inside) as a battering ram...that's what they tell me, anyway. A brusied sternum. I also got so dehydrated one day at practice that I stopped sweating and nearly collapsed in the huddle. One cool thing that happened was that I got part of my thigh gouged out when some guy with really wicked cleats stepped on me and I got to see the bone. Also, in track that year, I got Osgood-Slaugher, where the patella tendon is being pulled off the shin bone.

What's the deal with Pamela Franklin? She always picked these roles in which she gets to bitch people out. Famous people, like Satan. Really though, she was pretty hot when she was young, and very talented to boot. Too bad she just turned 51.
