raig s. lloyd is a victoria-based dictator in waiting. he spends his time working with computers, petting his cat, and accosting the cfuv airwaves fridays with his early morning singing.
cancon
what interests you these days?
Craig S. Lloyd
Watching the NDP government fall apart at the seams, and laughing at this lame coverage of the Y2K problem. And reading about these freaks who think it's the end of the world
cancon
do you think the NDP will drag along like they are till the next election?
Craig S. Lloyd
Yeah, that Glen Clark guy is too stubborn to know when to resign. I don't think he's a criminal mind you. There is a difference between being a criminal and just being plain incompetent
cancon
and you don't think the world is going to crash with Y2K?
Craig S. Lloyd
No, perhaps a few minor disruptions, and stuff like that. I am thinking of moving to Pennsylvania and becoming Amish
cancon
what would you do if you couldn't be online though, as an Amish?
Craig S. Lloyd
I lived without being on-line for over 6 months. I just switch to another method of killing time and avoiding the realities of life
I was just kidding about become Amish. Do you have to be born into it, or can you just show up? I'm afraid that I'll go there, have one too many beer, and wake up Amish
cancon
yeah, sort of like a bush party. just get drunk and suddenly *wham* you're Amish. i suspect it's not the easiest community to get into. so is the internet actually that useful anyway?
Craig S. Lloyd
Well, it can be, but there is a lot of useless shit out there. There are too many bad web designers, and people trying to do cool things. A cool thing is good the first time you look at it. Like the Hampsterdance, but there are 50 billion knock off sites, and they are all fucking stupid
cancon
the hampsterdance was actually cool the first time you saw it? i thought i was going to throw my monitor out the window when i saw/heard it.
Craig S. Lloyd
Well, I said the first time I saw it. And the jennicam.
cancon
and here's where the conversation degrades into previously unheard filth.
Craig S. Lloyd
Huh? What are you taking about? Ok, no more jennicam although it's interesting.
cancon
although the internet has become more useful, it still seems to be pretty porn dominated though, eh?
Craig S. Lloyd
The main interest in the jennicam has nothing to do with anything perverted
cancon
what is it then? just sort of voyeuring on a normal person's day to day life?
Craig S. Lloyd
Well, that, but it's interesting how someone would put themselves on display like that. And we have porn to thank for the rapid development of the medium, same as VCR technology
cancon
yeah, people don't like to think about that though. it makes it seem all wrong to watch disney on the vcr then.
Craig S. Lloyd
It is true. People wanted the technology in their homes to watch porn in the beginning. And I heard (not from a reliable source) that Disney owns porno companies. Oh, and yesterday, I was reading about jenni's problems with birth control, and frankly, it was a real snore-fest.
cancon
i think that is the big problem with the internet. too many people thinking their lives are actually interesting enough for us to want to pay to watch them make fools of themselves. if you could start an online business, what would it be - seriously?
Craig S. Lloyd
I'm not sure. If I wanted it to make money, I would probably go for porn. I hear there is still money in that. I had a friend who recently made 50 bucks in a few days. But he never got the money because he was caught spamming chatrooms and newsgroups.
cancon
i can't believe how much bloody spam i get.
Craig S. Lloyd
I get a lot too. I hate the stuff. Granted, he was spamming sex newgroups and chatrooms. I mean, what are those places without spam?
cancon
we complain, but then look at how much junk mail we get in the 'real' world. what do you do in the real world for fun, anyway?
Craig S. Lloyd
In the real world? Not much. I guess I should do more. I lead a pretty dull existence actually. Now that i think of it, does anyone really have an exciting life?
cancon
what would be exciting to you?
Craig S. Lloyd
I'm not sure really. Things people generally think of as exciting probably get boring after awhile. see, this is the part of the interview where you can tell the subject is becoming evasive, and it is time to move onto another line of questions. Where did you learn to interview anyway?
cancon
oh, hey, did you hear about toronto's mayor gave the keys to the city to that disney rodent? mickey can come in there whenever he wants now and trash the place.
Craig S. Lloyd
I bet Walt Disney is turning over in his grave. Now, that company is just a big money making machine.
cancon
what?! its not about love and fun and happiness? and i read michael jackson is staying in the sleeping beauty castle to recover from his illness.
Craig S. Lloyd
Who really cares about the freak anymore?
cancon
i think he still must make loads of dough. so what do you want to talk about anyway?
Craig S. Lloyd
You are the one who is steering this ship
cancon
ok. how's it been doing radio for UVIC the past few years? got any psycho fans?
Craig S. Lloyd
Not really. It's pretty boring. It would be cool if I had a few of those, but no suck luck. None that I know of. It would be scary, because you would have to be pretty screwed up to be obsessed with me.
cancon
what would you do with a time-slot where you could do anything you wanted?
Craig S. Lloyd
I would probably have a call in show about something, but we don't do that on CFUV. It's pretty boring playing music.
cancon
after that comment, where do i go? would you ever want to play music yourself?
Craig S. Lloyd
Yeah, me and a buddy have a plan to form a band called the GizzMoppers. It won't happen, but you know what's it like to have a plan
cancon
lovely. i don't even want to know about your stage act. any last comments you want to make to the world?
Craig S. Lloyd
Any LAST comments???? You mean you are cutting me off before I can talk about my plans for world domination
cancon
ok, let's talk world domination for a bit- how would you do it?
Craig S. Lloyd
You see, I am going to start by corrupting people's kitties, and have them do the dirty work for me
cancon
an army of kitties, eh? nice. and what will you do with all your new found power?
Craig S. Lloyd
Probably squander it. I don't know what to do with absolute power.
cancon
your kitties would probably revolt.
Craig S. Lloyd
I like kitties. They are so soft and furry. Did I mention I forgot to take my medication?
cancon
what's one question that you've always wanted to be asked?
Craig S. Lloyd
Wow, what a loaded question. Your place or mine?
