TheQuestion has a lot to answer for with all these FAQs floating around. I should preface this by saying that not one of these questions has ever been asked of me as far as I can remember.
Whats with the name?
It's from the rather spiffing Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson which I feel to be one of the best comicbook series ever printed, even with the glaring continuity error towards the end.
Whats your real name?
My real name is Chris Gage. People always seem to get it wrong though. All my current work kit said Chris Cage before i had it sent back and redone. Forbidden Planet sent out catalogues to Chris Tage and I'm sure I've had Chris Gate before now.
Are you the Chris Gage who wrote the seminal "Teenage Caveman?"
Sadly not. That would be Christos N.Gage who has since found himself doing servicable work in the comic industry. I just wish the bastard would go back to calling himself Christos, because its confusing as hell going onto Newsarama and seeing my name in headlines.
What are you scared of?
General peril. For example, I'm not scared of heights in a vertigo kind way and I'm quite happy being up on tall buildings and looking down. You wont often see me up a fucking ladder though. I'm also quite scared of Japanese ghosts, and more recently Gary Cole.
Whats your earliest memory?
Playing Connect 4 with some kid in a hospital waiting room. My parents were cleaning the living room carpet when I was in bed, and I managed to get downstairs and drink a load of carpet shampoo from the bottle without them noticing. I would've been about 2 or 3 i think. Oh and for the record - I kicked that little kid's ass at Connect 4.
Why are you so thin?
I'm assuming its my metabolism. Its also probably because nothing I eat has any nutritional content. I'll probably have a heart attack next week.
Whats with the picture?
Its from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia You should be watching it, its genius. I'd explain whats going on in that picture, but I feel a man dressed as a nazi officer and eating a banana is probably funnier out of context.
Do you have any skills?
None that would "pay the bills" After coasting through school without any desire to be creative I suddenly hit a point where I decided I'd quite like to be, only I didn't have any talent. I've since started learning to play the guitar.
Are you any good?
No, and its often disheartening to think there's probably some rotten shit 3 year old out there who's better than me. I'm keeping my jealous, bitter fingers crossed that he goes and drinks some carpet shampoo
Dream guitar?
At the moment its a Gibson SG Goddess. It's designed for and marketed towards women, but that just makes it lighter and apparently its really nice to play. Also it comes in the most gorgeous paintjobs
The second I have the money, and am a good enough player to warrant buying it - I will do.
