OT Idea - Profiles of MgoBloggers

Submitted by xtramelanin on

Mates,

The OT season is kind of here, and will be in earnest when the MBB team is done with the NCAA's.  We have some pretty creative, interesting and humorous folks on the board and it occured to me that it might be a good idea during the OT season to have a regular 'MGoBlogger Monday Profile' segment.   I figure we could do a few of you at one time and that I'd start by picking folks using some combination of seniority and points and work my way through as many as reasonably could be done during the off months. I know there were a few profiles done years ago but none for quite a while. and many new characters are here.

So my questions are these:

1.  Good idea or 'meh/pass/stupid'?

2.  If good idea, then what general questions/areas would you want to get into?  No creepy/stalker/perv stuff (I'm looking at a few of you right now...), but what areas to ask about?  Maybe family, job, how became a Michigan fan, hobbies (besides M football, etc), favorite Michigan memory, maybe some wild card questions like 'if you could live any place', or 'have any job' or something along those lines.

Have a great weekend.  Super bowl on Sunday.

Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloé with webbed feet.

My father would womanize; he would drink; he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament ...

My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon ... luge lessons ... In the spring, we'd make meat helmets ... When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds — pretty standard, really.

At the age of 12, I received my first scribe. At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian named Vilmer ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum — it's breathtaking ... I suggest you try it.

I want to hear the inside stories, the dirt, the laughable instances of drunken debauchery in Super 8s in Topeka with hookers with names like donuts. Names need to be named, and photos provided.

I helped out when SixZero and M-Wolverine brought it back in 2013 and it was a pretty cool experience.

IMO the biggest thing is finding a writer/interviewer who can bring the same type of enthusiasm and not-so-professional-professionalism SixZero did originally, and then either getting his okay on format/graphics or coming up with something new.

I like the idea of this feature. Reading through some of the previous profiles is enlightening and a good killer of time. My boss is ouf of office next week, so let's do this. Are there any nominees? Someone who has been around could throw some names out there.
