Catching Up With Crazy Mary
Q: Have you ever lived in an old tar paper shack on the south side of town before?
A: No, but I spent the odd part of one night in a corrugated refrigerator box.
Q: Where was your favorite place to L-O-I-T-E-R growing up?
A: The arroyo man. I used to L-O-I-T-E-R the hell out of that place.
Q: Dirty Frank says you have New Mexico ties. Can you please explain to us what a "Lobo" is?
A: No.
Q: Are you a fan of "Los Lobos" which in English means "The Lobos"?
A: My top Chicano rock pick would be Santana. Dirty Frank generally forbids Chicano rock in the house which is odd because he loves Chico Fiesta, which in English means boy party.
Q: If the world ends 12/21/12 like the Mayan calendar and John Cusack say, will you find it cliche if someone is playing "It's The End Of The World As We Know It" from R.E.M.?"
A: Only if John Cusack is playing "It's the End of the World as we know it" on a boom box held over his head in front of my house would I find it cliche.
Q: What would you rather hear as the earth cracks in half across Weirton Heights?
A: That monkey is wearing lipstick
Q: Have you been experiencing any "Lin-Sanity" lately?
A: Basketball displeases me, and he is no Yao Ming.
Q: You have more experience running races than anyone else on Five Against Run. What's been your favorite course that you've ever run?
A: Oh crap, that can't be good. I thought some go-getter from 5 Against Run signed up for the wrong team. My favorite race is any race with real bathrooms.
Q: On a scale of 1 to 10, how sad were you to see the Southern Gentleman mustache straightened the Monday after the race?
A: Can I answer in the negative. If Dirty Frank purchases a mustache snood I may have to take drastic measures.
Q: Will you encourage your children to carry on the Five Against Run tradition someday when we're all too old to get up and down a flight of stairs?
A: I am already too old to get up and down a flight of stairs.
