So
tell us a little bit about yourself mark.
MARK- My name is Mark Hoppus, I play bass and sing in Blink-182.
I'm a pisces. I like long walks on the beach, I like short
walks on the beach. I like beaches and anything having to
do with the beach.
Why?
MARK- Basically what I like to do when I get down to the
beach is strip down naked, run into the water, then run
and sit straight down into the soft sand. Wiggle around
for a while, let the sand start to ferment and then I'll
take a long walk down the beach.
TOM- Let the sand ferment like cheese?
MARK- More like fine wine.
Do you like wine?
MARK- I don't like wine. I like mixed drinks. I don't even
like beer... Beer is for men, cocktails are for gentlemen.
So what else shouldn't we know about
you?
MARK- I don't give up until the woman is completely satisfied.
I won't quit. I'm like the terminator in bed. If I can't
get the job done right then I just look at her and say,
"I'll be back" and walk off, refuel, cruise back
in and finish the job.
And what about you Tom? What's your
story?
TOM- My name is Thomas Delonge. I play guitar and sing.
Where did you grow up?
TOM- In Poway, here in San Diego. I went to Poway High School,
graduated from there went one year to junior college. I
took a human sexuality course and...
MARK- He graduated Magnum Cums Louder.
TOM- Actually the class was really fun and I think later
in life I'm going to be a surrogate partner. I'm going to
grad. school for that right now. I'm starting out as a stunt
person on pornos.
Ok Scott, tell us a little about yourself.
SCOTT- I'm Scott Raynor and I play the drums and I have
to say that I take up the majority of the good looks in
the band.
MARK- He hogs all the good looks.
TOM- Like all the good looking guys... he hogs them all.
MARK- He hog ties all the good looking dudes.
So do you get all the girls. Don't
you have a girlfriend?
SCOTT- Yeah, I have a girlfriend. Tom has a girlfriend also
who apparently likes ugly guys.
TOM- She looks for what's inside.
MARK- She looks for what's inside. She's a proctologist.
TOM- She gave me a proctology exam. We both have girlfriends
and Mark doesn't.
What's it like on the road with Blink-182?
MARK- It seems like every day one of us is taking a crap.
TOM- Like every single day, like poop every day. Our van
doors are sealed with muck residue of fart and dude smells.
SCOTT- Being on the road is a lot of fun and a lot of work.
We pass the time by making stupid jokes.
You don't say.
MARK- It's not so mush the jokes as it is Tom will be in
back of the bus totally naked.
How is it like being sponsored
by Billabong?
TOM- They leave their back door open at night and we sneak
in and steal stuff.
MARK- The guys that run Billabong are super cool people
and help us out a whole lot with tours and covering the
areas of unwanted fat on their bodies. They design cloths
especially for me because I'm pulling a lot of weight. Paul
keeps saying he's a really good kisser, but I don't know
what that means. I haven't experienced that.
