Are you in yet? Not until you answer these questions:
Pass participant interview questions:
1. What is your name?
Matt Blome
2. Do you have pets?
Yup, 2 cats and a fiance.
3. Do you like Spongebob?
At present, I am not able to partake in watching his show, I waste too much time reading threads on CP at work, that by the time I get home, I can't watch TV, I have to finish the work I was supposed to do between 8 and 5. I hear that many kids like him. From the caliber of the kid who told me so, I have to say that spongebob is probably a prick. However, I think it would be cool to have square pants. Not sure how I would feel about being a sponge though...
4. What is your stance on stem-cell research?
Being in science and knowing the facts, I have to support it. I don't know why the government is so scared of it. It's not like we're asking them to import cuban cigars or anything! Um, wait...
5. Do you believe the moon landing is a conspiracy?
I knew nothing of it until about a month ago when I saw a special about it. Interesting theory, but with all the other ways our government wastes money, I just don't see why they would try to make us believe that we landed on the moon.
I like that commercial from a few years back, "For centuries, man believed that the moon was made of cheese....three decades ago we landed on the moon and found out it was made of rock......we haven't been back since.....behold, the power of cheese..."
6. Does Ken finally beat Ryu? - If you don't know what I'm talking about, you're automatically disqualified.
Once you realize that the hokey-pokey really is what it's all about, this kind of question doesn't really matter anymore. But if I had to guess, I'd say yes...figuratively speaking.
7. Tell me why I trust you enough to let you play.
You shouldn't... all I want to do is steal everybody's cigars, so make sure you throw in all your best smokes before it gets to me! JUST KIDDING!
Seriously, you have absolutely no reason to trust me enough to send me an entire tupperware of cigars. (Which is why I take no offense if you decide not to include me.) However, I wholeheartedly (sp?) support the spirit of CP. I am definitely a newbie, but I think 2 things really sold me on this board: 1. when I see posts of a serious nature about a problem someone may be having, the way these guys can drop all the ball-busting and give someone support is pretty remarkable. 2. I realized that the board was a serious one the first time I got bombed. I didn't know anybody here, and people sent me cigars for no reason at all! (I already have another newbie or two in mind that I am planning on doing the same with. Once you get bombed once, you can't help but want to be a part of the "pay it forward" mind-set.) That alone made me feel like I was really a part of the board, albeit a newbie! With that said, I am hoping that getting involved in a pass or something of the sort will help me get to konw the ins and outs of not only the board, but also a few more people here.
But again, that's all well and good, but you still don't have a reason to trust me. Let me know if you want references from trades/box-splits. I've sent my end first, and others have sent their end first. No problems at all.
So do I qualify?
If not, let me know, I can change some of my answers for you and resubmit! wink.gif
Later,
Matt
PS-feel free to post this if you want to.
Question #1 is a gimme.
Question 2 through 6 are vital.
Question 7 won't matter if you get the wrong answers for 2-6.
PM me your response or post it in the thread. Good luck. smile.gif
Looks like there's more than passing cigars in this pass via the pictures.
