Quab:
Yes lets get started, you wanna be on top?

Dangermouse:
Right, lay down some quick stats on me, such as your real name, age, sex, hobbies, school, etc..

No, ill be on bottom..

Quab:
Umm my real name is Chris Warner.. I'm 18 I like sex.. sex is my hobby.. so is computers.. umm making fun of people.. and spray painting trains..

Ok suit yourself.. you know something.. cash is a bunghole..

Dangermouse:
So, what the fuck do you do in the scene?

Quab:
WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL you know.. i use to draw way back in the day.. under and alias not to be revealed.. but anyway.. I'm a coder right now, you know.. pascal,c all that cryptic garbage..

Linux bond.org 2.0.33 #14 Thu Apr 9 11:19:31 EDT 1998 i586.. as you can see I'm running linux now

Dangermouse:
Yes

Quab:
Hold on I gotta take my prozac, ok.. Did you know I'm the most popular guy in the scene.. its true

Dangermouse:
So, how did you get involved with the scene 'back in the day'?

Quab:
Welp.. lemme see.. I went to a 2600 meeting and met cardiac arrest.. and some other old people you should be dead by now scene wise.. anyway i heard about ice/acid local groups etc and decided .. I'm gonna join.. So I joined a group called ioa. You guys probably don't remember it but massm was in it and some other lsoers. i mean miasma.

Dangermouse:
ioa standing for what?

Quab:
Intellectuals Of Art

Dangermouse:
I think i've heard of that group..

Quab:
I think i've heared of it too.. when I say it over a couple of times in my head..

.. But some stupid idiot released a virus in the pack. anyway it formed into a group called Rigor, that had d.fan and tooncinator and all those losers in it.. and we did some cool packs, and then it died.. And then I came to irc and went to #bbswarez.. and then to #ansi, and that was a long time ago.. 94 or something. 93, something like that..

Anyway from there I joined ice, under a psuedo.. and thats that and then I started coding.. But I also made some friends while codng.. like necros and purple motion, and umm who else.. alot of other people..

Dangermouse:
I have to know, where the hell did you get a nick like 'quab' from? The back of a cornflake packet?

Quab:
Yes yes the question that is even mind boggling to me.. it actually stands for something I believe.. But you know how crazy I am and stuff in the head right?? it just came to me in a flash, and I never knew I could do cool stuff with it, watch this!

Quab:
alot of people can't do that

Dangermouse:
ok, So tell me about the socks comic.. How did it get started, and for what reasons?

Quab:
Oh yeah I wanna give a shout out to the 4th disciple..

Oh yeah socks.. Well.. one day back in late 95 or 94.. I can't remember.. anyway, i was sitting around in #ansi making fun on people, ops etc, and someone beg''d me to do something for their e-zine.. So i said what the hell.. I'll write a comic, and then i said I'll write a comic about ansi people.. btw sodium ripped my idea off with two-days.. rat bastard

Anyway, i started with sock1.txt, and that was funny.. people liked it.. So I said.. hey.. what about sock2.txt, then thats when I started to get bombarded with email and crap, and thats when brain stepped onto the scene, and he was like my manager.. he told me.. make the shit crazy.. I said ok.. and BOOM next thing you know sock3.txt, and it went all the way up to 6 over a 2 yr period or so..

Dangermouse:
Didn't know it had been going for so long

Quab:
Yah.. it seemed to short for me.. but sock6.txt took months to release, because of sodium.. He was supposed to be doing it after two-days.. but know.. hE KILLS ME OFF IN TWO-DAYS AND FLEES THE SCENE.. So i had to do it myself, hes a rat bastard too..

Dangermouse:
So, how did socks become an online text comic?

Quab:
Hi #ansi I'm on acheron.org =) Socks just took off in #ansi.. people wanted it.. because everyone wanted to be in it.. its cool to be in a comic and have your character do crazy stuff.. Like cash was a god under me.. because i was the author =) and he could fly, cardiac was in there.. he was a spy, etc etc..

btw ummm can I get your autograph?

Dangermouse:
haha.. mine?

Quab:
yeah.. i figure in a couple yrs acheron.org would've made scene history..

Dangermouse:
It already has i tihnk -- like how long its been up, and being updated..

Quab:
A long time now.. =)

Dangermouse:
Since jan 97

Quab:
Yeah its broken records.. You keep it looking good and stuff..

Dangermouse:
Do you look at acheron much?

Quab:
Yeah all the damn time.. In fact at the computer graphics club they rip your shit.. i found out.. I left my computer running with acheron.org .. you know gotta keep up on news, and we gotta discuss that ansi note on the floor thing but anyway i come back and they're ripping your scripts and everything..

Dangermouse:
Haha.. jeeze.. lamers :)

Quab:
Yeah.. i was gonna drop kick them for you but i couldn't because they were all in my way

Dangermouse:
Computer graphics club?

Quab:
Yeah at my college.. they do the web page and shit for the college.. losers..

Dangermouse:
Heh.. and they can't code something as simple as acheron? wbahahaha. idiots.. anyways..

Quab:
yeah.. dumbassess. you should post on acheron.org (i know you've been ripping CGC) and they'll get into troubleeee

yeah.. trouble for them.. i'll get a shot of their faces and scan it

Dangermouse:
You mentioned earlier about coding.. What projects have you been involved in?

Quab:
Ok ummm obv/2.. ahhh nexus/2.. iniquity.. what else I have particiipated in at some point.. i'm doing iniquity port for linux now. ahhhhh what else.. lots of minor crap.. apps, viewers ummm.. I can't remember all the stuff..

Dangermouse:
So, your basically freelance now? No groups?

Quab:
How much do kangaroos weigh?

Yeah freelancer.. before I left a month or two ago.. for a break.. i was in root and rca.. I never released in root, but in rca i released under the psuedo agent9..

Kangaroos don't weigh that much do they? 100 pounds tops? because then they can't jump away

Dangermouse:
Kangaroo's? fucked if i know..

Quab:
What about ummm the tazmanian devil? Does it spin around like crazy and spit and stuff?

Dangermouse:
Ok, so whats this shit about you getting caught in the locker room with the dick in one of the lockers :)

Quab:
My dick was in a girl =) Yeah that was highschool, gym period.. I was changing my clothes right, and these girls came into the locker room.. I was like hello.. in my boxers and stuff, and I really don't remember how it happened but all of a sudden I'm doing this girl n the GYM ROOM.. everyone else was in gym class because I was late and not dressed..

So anyway I'm doing this girl and a security guard comes in.. he fucked it up, i got suspended for like 5 days so did she.. or something like that.. Ever since then i've had this thing about gym rooms.. oh well.. I was pleased though.. Because during those 5 days or whatever we screwed everyday =)

Dangermouse:
Was she fine?

Quab:
Yeah.. she had a nice body..

Dangermouse:
Damn..

Quab:
Ummm.. she lives down the block from me or something.. she pregnant I hear.. not mine..

Dangermouse:
Haha

Quab:
I'm just back for spring break =)

Dangermouse:
So whats this i hear about that fight between you and Cardiac?

Quab:
Bleh that was just a little ummm how do you say msunderstanding.. Its hard for me to be somewhere on time.. Because I'm doing 21 credits and working, but I was supposed to bring cardiac and meet him somewhere and I couldn't and he gets all pissed off.. But we squashed it.. we're cool now =)

Haha serial is a loser =) Serial owns the ascii scene.. iits some type of code =) Tthen they say their handles on the air.. Tthats it I'm getting quab owns the scene on hot 97.1 in new york, or 107.5, or something. Hahahah.. the ascii scene is funny =).. blk_jack is funny

Did you know that I gave blckknght his break in the scene and he doesn't even talk to me anymore? what type of crap is that? If it wasn't for my stupid darksun coding project.. oh yeah darksun is another codng things..

Serial_owns_the_ascii_scene.mp3 is hilarious..

Dangermouse:
Are you and Darkmoon marrying? :) (you'd better fucking not be)

Quab:
Well we were supposed to be getting married but she said she wanted me as her sex slave.. I said I could try..

Dangermouse:
Bay is marrying her tho.. hmm.. i think she's pulling a funny on both of you..

Quab:
Shes getting married to some loser.. but whenever she needs sex she said she'll come to me..

naaa.. bay is confused.. me, sabby and bay discussed this before..

Dangermouse:
She should move to australia.. she can live in my room..

Quab:
.. and bay was the one that was confused.. yeah well.. she wants me for a sex slave!.. i'm trying to tell her no but she insists, i mean.. I guess she knows what she wants.. my sexy body, thats all..

Dangermouse:
Haha.. did you know that on average, aussie dicks are 5cm longer than american dicks?

Quab:
Did you know that darkmoon secretly molests me online?

Dangermouse:
You too? cool

Quab:
Did you know that I'm not an average american?! She doesn't molest you like she molest me..

Dangermouse:
I'd say your fairly average :) No, she molests me longer, harder and better..

Quab:
She raped me before! so there!

Dangermouse:
So, whats this about you moving to the demo scene? true?

Quab:
Ummm yah.. I'm off to the demo scene sooner or later.. its like #ansi keeps calling my name, did you know I'm the most popular guy in the scene? That other stuff isn't true, whoever that other guy is that won the most popular guy in the scene award.. thats garbage..
