Today on 'In The FOT Seat': No Underbites
« on: July 27, 2008, 02:23:45 PM »


Here's what he had to say:

1. What is your real first and middle name (if any)?
My name is Thomas.  I sometimes go by A.M. Tomas.

2. Where were you born, geographically?
Elizabeth, New Jersey, United States

3. Where do you reside now (geographically)?
Union, New Jersey by Rt. 22 aka the Double Deuce
It has become very overdeveloped and smelly.  It's kind of awful.  I really want to move. I still live with my parents.

4. What is your current vocation/ job/ area of study?
I graduated in May with a degree in English literature.  I have done pretty much nothing since then, but I will most likely do something interesting in the next year.

5. Desert Island: ONE record
I will be a cliché and say Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea because it's an album that can satisfy many different kinds of moods.

6. What is the most impressive thing in nature that you have ever seen in person?
I'm not sure.  All of the national parks I have been to have been impressive, but especially: The Black Hills, The Badlands, Grand Canyon, and Arches National Park.

7. What is the most impressive thing in the human-made world that you have ever seen in person?
I'm leaving for Europe in a few days so I won't answer this one until I return.

8. Death Row Pizza: what style/toppings?
I like a light pizza.  Probably a nice margarita or, if it's available, Artichoke Pizza.

9. Tom calls you up and tells you that he will be at a cardboard symposium in your town and has a free day off. What will you guys do?
Listen to Alien Lanes on our way to a day at Bowcraft.

Can we open a q/a session now? or would that go against the FOT seat ethos?

YES. and my question to No Underbites is this:

Why the pen name? also: what is the deal with the icon? bugs me out.

I like to pretend I'm a writer and maker of things and, when I do write, I use that name.  It's just my last initial, my middle initial, and my first name.

The icon is from The Passion of Joan of Arc, one of my favorite films.  It stars Renée Jeanne Falconetti in what is pretty much her only film.  The whole thing is on YouTube, but I recommend watching it with the score.  Here is a clip:

Here are ideas for more questions:
What movie have you seen more than any other?  How many times have you seen it?

What is your favorite novel?  Who is your favorite author?

What three adjectives best describe you?

I'm not a chicken,  you're a turkey.

you've explained this before I think, does 'no underbites' mean anything?

Okay, but let it be known that I very much look forward to Emma's 'In the FOT Seat'

My favorite novel is probably 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez.  Favorite author is Nabokov for prose and Pablo Neruda for poetry, especially when I can't understand anything he's saying.  Yes, I really like South American and Russian literature.

I've seen 2001: A Space Odyssey over ten times.

Three adjectives: fastidious, xenophilous, and aesthetic (haha).
