Shouryu, I'm going to ask you a question that might take some time. What is your favorite Homestar Runner short. You can pick up to three if it's a toss up. And they can be longer toons, shorts, or answering machines.
3. Teen Girl Squad:
TGS Numba 3
I heart all the TGS shorts. They narrowly beat out Answering Machine 2.0, which had me in tears when I first heard it. "Pom-Pom, that's not what I said!!!"
2. Techno:
COMPY 386
Funny because it's true, and funny because it's funny. Makes for a nice time filler in a talent show if you have six or seven people to cover all the parts.
1. Dragon:
Compy 386!
Trogdor is the ultimate. HSR was all the rage during my grad school years, to the point that when I became director of the basketball band, I wrote this for them to play. That's right - this was played at NCAA games for several years, because the Roadrunner Revue is awesome like that.

(Just download it. I'm not savvy enough right now to make it into a YT vid.)
Shouryu: Which Joss universe character do you most identify with?
There's certainly some correlation with Billy/Dr. Horrible, a man who got exactly what he desired, but inadvertantly lost something profound (even if it had no real reason to be profound). But in the end, I've felt an awful lot like Victor from
Dollhouse throughout my life - oh, this needs to be done, and we don't have someone who specializes in that? Give it to Shour, he'll figure it out. If only it were as easy as it was for the actives; just plug the information (and personality) in as needed.
Link is my favorite to cosplay
I've seen one or two photos of your Link cosplay before; it's still impressive. I think the Ezio one is even more impressive.
Shouryu, do you mind sharing your story on that? You don't have to. But since you know what it's like, I'm interested.
My best friend from high school and college. We were roommates, and both clarinetists. Everything came more naturally to him; I had to work twice as hard to come close to playing as well as he did. Intensely charasmatic, people were drawn to him. In fifteen years, I only once heard a single person say, "I don't care much for him." Other than Becca, EVERYONE loved him. At one point, I vowed to be done with dating until he moved to a different city, because a girl I really, really liked chose him over me for the hojillionth time (stuck with it, too). Through it all, though, I always loved him. His sudden and tragic death shocked us all, and his funeral was standing room only, with probably another 100 people outside the church. A couple years before he passed, I no longer felt like I was in his shadow, as I was finding success in my own career and was attached to The Ex at the time, so the grudge was long passed. But even when it was there...like I said, you couldn't help but love the guy.
Shouryu...If you owned a lightsaber what colour would it be & why?
Hmm. Never given it much thought; I've always been a casual
Star Wars fan, and more of a
Trek die hard. But I do like
Star Wars. I'm a big fan of the original light blue that Luke used through the first two films. (I didn't pay attention enough through the prequels to note whether or not Anakin is actually using that same light saber, since Obi-wan tells Luke it's his father's in Episode 4.) Windu purple seems a little over the top for me, and I've never been real big on red or yellow. The green from Episode VI is okay, I suppose. I always identified more with Han as it is. ^_^
Shouryu: What's your favorite Gershwin piece?
The stereotypical answers would be
An American In Paris or
Rhapsody In Blue due to their memorable (and perhaps overplayed) clarinet/bass clarinet parts (yes, I can do the
Rhapsody gliss, albeit not as well as my best friend could), but Gershwin's best clarinet work was actually written for piano and later transcribed for clarinet. It fits so well, it's almost as if he wrote them for the wrong instrument first: his
Three Preludes. (Awesome question, btw.)
I'mma have to think of more questions. You guys threw some doozies at me!
