Each week, The Cavalier Daily asks a student 25 Questions and allows him or her to eliminate five of them. This week's interviewee is Davey Hibbit, a third-year Economics major from country music stronghold Nashville, Tenn.
Q: Do you prefer hot chocolate or apple cider on a fall day?
A: Hot chocolate. I just like chocolate better than apples, simple as that.
Q: Favorite Harrison Ford character?
A: The Fugitive. I like the idea that someone is doing the right thing while breaking the law.
Q: I give you a ball of yarn, a chocolate bar and a thumbtack. What do you do?
A: I would eat the chocolate bar, throw out the ball of yarn and then stab someone in the back of the neck with the tack.
Q: What is a more annoying noise: nails on a blackboard or a jackhammer in the morning?
A: Jackhammer. It's incessant, and I can take a little screech now and again.
Q: In six words, what is life?
A: Understanding your position in the reality.
Q: Green or red grapes?
A: Green grapes, but red wine.
Q: Do you recycle?
A: I put recyclable items in a bin in my hall, and someone takes them out. Otherwise, I wouldn't.
Q: On a scale of 1-10, how badly do you want to jump in leaves today?
A: I have zero desire to do that, but I would like to jump up and leave. I don't know where I'd go exactly.
Q: Favorite submarine movie?
A: "Crimson Tide." I like the line when Gene Hackman says, "I don't trust air I can't see."
Q: Do you think the full moon had anything to do with U.Va. beating Florida State?
A: No.
Q: On a scale of 1-10, how like, totally bummed are you that Nick and Jessica are breaking up?
A: I'll have to say zero again if 10 equals "most bummed." Actually I'd rather say, "Who are Nick and Jessica?"
Q: How f#&%ed is Tom DeLay?
A: Who the f#&% is Tom DeLay?
Q: Would you rather play golf or flog a golfer?
A: Can I do both?
Q: Favorite region of the country?
A: Appalachia. Nature is the best there. The mountains aren't too big, there are rivers, valleys and trees. I like trees.
Q: Favorite salad dressing?
A: Oil and vinegar, but I like to put bleu cheese in there -- you know, not the dressing but the actual cheese. Sometimes a little pepper or something [continues rambling].
Q: What "Sesame Street" character would you be?
A: The Count.
Q: Do you change your smoke detector batteries regularly?
A: No, and I don't wear my seatbelt either.
Q: What is the most you are willing to pay for sunglasses?
A: Sixty-nine cents. You can get them at the thrift store. Or you can get them for free out of other peoples' purses.
Q: Is not washing your hands after going to the bathroom a sin?
A: No.
Q: Will you?
A: Hell yeah.
The Verdict: Don't be fooled by the book on Zen that Davey carries around with him. He's out of control. When you're not looking he'll steal your sunglasses and stab you in the neck with a tack, possibly with unwashed hands.
