THE MODIFIED PROUST
The Proust Questionnaire is a series of questions posed to famous subjects about their lives, thoughts, values and experience. It has its origins in an old parlor game popularized, though not devised, by Marcel Proust in the 19th Century. Marcel Proust was a tortured and lonely French novelist who believed that, in answering these questions, an individual reveals his or her true nature. This list of questions has been truncated and slightly modified for interviewing people we think are interesting.

9. How would you like to die?
I used to always say to be eaten by a shark, but recently in San Diego, I legitimately thought I was sharing the lineup with a 14 ft great white and almost shit in my wetsuit. It turned out be a Dolphin f*ckin' around with me. So, now I'd probably have to say.....Freezing. You just go to sleep. a really cold sleep. for ever.

You cant polish a turd, but you CAN roll it in glitter!
