You! Me! Milkshakes!
Claire said we can make a big interview for the Discussion About Megazine thread. It would be really cool and interesting, I hope. We could ask lots of questions about Megazine and all her letters and bestest Megaziners, and also lots of other questions and word associations too. Also, lots of old megazine things too.
I hope it is a cool idea.
Please does anyone want to make any questions at-all? - Please can you send them to the Megazine Letters account again. It would be really helpful!

*An Interview With Lilac Leopard.*
Questions by David-James, Paul, That Thing and also lots of old questions by Colin, Strawberry and Stu too.
Who are your bestest Mega-ziners ever?
Farmer Jack & Topperinho.
Who are your bestest Mega-ziners at the moment?
I rarely read 'Zine anymore but when I have done, Colin does it for me. That's Vigilante Maelstrom. I spoke to a lady called Mrs. Maelstrom today at work. Random factoid, there.
Which Mega-ziners do you think are really bad and annoying?
Again, don't really read anymore so let's go for the old faithfuls, Emma the Lil Angel and Spiky Stuy. Also Daddypoos' name is stupid.
Which Mega-ziners have influenced all your letters?
Nobody has influenced them all, but occasionally, conversations with Farmer Jack, Topper & Junior Minister on the old MSN have caused me to send letters.
Where does the inspiration for your letters come from?
Other people, most prominantly Rolf Harris.
Tell us about your name...
It's purple. It's feline. It was conceived during a bored moment at the library 7 years ago. That's a long time, especially for cats.
How come you don't write into 'Zine anymore?
I did, t'other week! But mostly it's just because I'm an old bird now and I have a job and essays that I should be doing!
Please are you going to make any more Lilac Leopard letters ever?
I'd never say never.
What types of letters do you think are really neat and cool?
Sarcastic, witty, conversational ones. Ones which tell a story which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Creative and ignored or boring and famous?
I'm already boring so I'd be famous for the money. I'd get a yacht.
Did you ever think something as simple as a Teletext page would have any sort of bearing on your life?
No, but it has. I wouldn't even know some of the people I talk to most these days otherwise, and I was a very lonely teenager, so god knows what I would have done without VR & 'Zine...
Just how big an influence do you think Mega-zine has had on you?
On my humour, it's definitely honed it. I'm more surreal and self depricating than I would have been otherwise, I reckons.
Fudge or Minstrels?
Fudge. Mmm. Sticks of goodness.
What's your favourite chocolate bar?
All of them.
Which is your bestest Simpsons character?
Ralph.
Milhouse or Nelson?
Milhouse. I like geeks.
David Tennant or Richard Hammond?
Oh no! You can't DO this to me! NOOO! Whoever thought of this is a very mean person. Uuuuuum. Tennant. Hammond. Tennant. Yes. Tennant. By a nose.
What are your bestest books and movies and bands?
Harry Potter (cultured English Student here), Coldplay & the Arctic Monkeys.
Howcome you like Rolf Harris so much?
Why not? He's lovely, amusing, multitalented and has the most amazing beard ever. I think it started out as a joke at school and grew from there. If he ever dies I'll be in mourning for years.
Which is your bestest Rolf Harris song?
Fine Day. It's ACE.
If you'd never found 'Zine, what would you be like now?
I don't like to think, if I'm honest. It's sad, but having VR, which is a result of 'Zine, has probably kept me sane.
Describe 'Zine in five words, one of which is 'ketchup', at least three of which are not.
'Zine probably tastes like ketchup.
Do you want a Tradis? Whereabouts do you really want to go? Also, who do you really want to be your assistant?
Tradis? Do you mean Tardis? Why, are you selling one? Haha, imagine if there was a used Tardis sales place where you could go to bargain with dodgy overweight men about the price of a Tardis. That would be ace. I would go somewhere warm, but not too warm (ie. not Mercury) and David Tennant would be my assistant.
Tell us something that nobody knows about...
Rolf Harris is actually the Prime Minister of Lichtenstein. That might be a lie.
Ant or Dec?
Dec. I would. Although in terms of Ant of VR fame, aka. Paul sexy Junior Ministerson, probably him, but only because there's nobody here called Dec.
Heinz or Daddies?
Heinz. What's with the ketchup theme?!
What is your earliest memory?
Getting blue paint in my eye at nursery. On purpose, I believe.
Who are you closest to in your family?
Me mam.
If aliens asked you to live on their planet for 5 years, would you go?
No, what if they ate my brain as soon as I got there? You can't trust anyone these days.
Who do you really want to cast witchy love spells on?
Guess. If you guessed 'David Tennant', you are officially a genius.
Have you fallen in love ever?
Yep.
If you were to launch your own perfume, what would it be called and what would be in it?
Flange. Just because. The scent of chocolate would be in it, because everyone likes the smell of it.

In that sentence, are you using David-James as a verb? If so, what does it entail for one to David-James?
BYE.
fun
Is it my time to David-James now?

Oh gosh - I am not sure. It is to be really scatty and muddled by accident, maybe?
Oh! *New challenge...
99. If 'Ziners were verbs.
- Princess Psycho. - To make lots of random horrible threats.

Well, I wasn't, but maybe we can ask David-James what his name would mean as a verb in the next one.
