A brief Q&A with gburt_lagnaf

Q: What’s your favorite Van Halen album?
A: My favorite is Fair Warning, even though I discovered VH in 1988 when Sammy was the singer.

Q: And song?
A: It’s a power ballad – When It’s Love. I’ve always been a sucker for power ballads, and I feel like I was one of the few who was actually excited to hear that VH was closing out concerts with that song on their 2004 tour.

Q: Where do you live?
A: Plainville, MA. It’s a small town about 30 miles south of Boston.

Q: How old are you?
A: 26

Q: Where did you go to college?
A: UMass – Amherst. While I was at school there, I was a board member of the Ski n’ Board club which is where I picked up the LAGNAF acronym. It was on every t-shirt and flyer we ever put out.

Q: What does LAGNAF stand for?
A: Let’s All Get Naked And Fuck

Q: Ever give any thought to becoming a manwhore?
A: No, that profession has never really interested me.

Q: What do for a living?
A: This could be a more complicated answer than is really necessary, but here it goes. During the last school year, I was a high school science teacher. I didn’t get hired back for a couple of reasons – first of all, they wanted someone with a chemistry degree which I don’t have and have no desire to get. Also, I was filling in for a first year teacher who got fired in November and I didn’t actually get my teacher certification until the end of the school year.

Now, I’m trying to make a living selling my photographs. Check out www.gregburt.com to see a sample of the kinds of photos I’m going to be selling.

Q: What do you do for fun?
A: I play guitar, ride my bike, rollerblade, play video games, take pictures.

Q: How tall are you?
A: 6’5”

Q: What did you do on your last birthday?
A: Went out with a couple of friends to the bars. Drank a whole lot of booze, smoked half a joint, and felt very hung over the next day. Thanks for asking.

Q: Have you ever been arrested?
A: Once in college. My roommates and I had a party at our apartment, and the third time the police came because of a noise complaint that night, they cuffed us. The town we lived in required us to have a permit in order to have a keg and of course we did not have the permits, so they took us in. I spent about 3 hours in a cell, had to attend alcohol education classes and pay $135 in court fees. The arrest and charges were expunged from my record, so it’s all good.

Q: Do you know how to read?
A: Yes

Q: Read any good books lately?
A: I’m currently reading “The Da Vinci Code”. It’s a good story, and I like it even more because it seems to be causing a little bit of disruption amongst the religious folks.

Q: So, you’re against religion?
A: No, not against religion necessarily, just against the idea that people have faith something because they are led to believe they’ll end up in hell or purgatory if they think for themselves instead of being led along by organized religion.
   Then again, I’m all for the Muslim belief that you’ll get 42 virgins all to yourself when you die. Well, maybe I’d like a few experienced ladies to go along with the virgins too.

Q: Heard any good jokes recently?
A: Actually, I went to see Dane Cook about 4 weeks ago. So, yes I have heard some good jokes.

Q: When’s the last time you got laid?
A: About two months ago.

Q: Did you have to put a bag over her head?
A: No, but I kept one nearby just in case I opened my eyes.

Q: Would you make a sex tape with Paris Hilton?
A: Yes!! She’s hot and she seems kinky.

Q: What’s your favorite color?
A: Maroon

Q: If you could travel anywhere you wanted, where would you go?
A: I’ve always wanted to see the Pacific Northwest in the United States. Actually, I hope my photography career takes off so that I have the opportunity to go all over the world to take pictures. I’d love to visit the major cities in Europe as well as remote places in the rain forests.

Q: How much did you pay for gas the last time you filled up your tank?
A: $1.89/gallon

Q: Do you work out?
A: A few days a week.

Q: Do you have any words of advice?
A: Live for the moment. Drink a beer. Spank the monkey.
