The MikeCab Interviews

The MikeCab Interviews

Welcome to the MikeCab Interviews, where we delve into what's been happening in the world of our favorite character of emotionality and mediocrity!

Interviewer: So, Mickey, how have you been doing?

Mickey: Oh, I've been okay. It's a really stressful semester, but so far it's been bearable.

Interviewer: So has your social life suffered because of the stress?

Mickey: ... surprisingly not. I guess I have a "no school work on Saturdays" rule that allows me some out time.

Interviewer: That's good! What do you do during "out time?"

Mickey: ... I read Foucault.

Interviewer: Isn't Foucault part of your Philo class?

Mickey: Yeah, but Fr. David says reading it shouldn't be a chore, but rather, a hobby.

Interviewer: Okay... What else do you do during "out time?"

Mickey: I read literary criticism on Foucault.

Interviewer: Okay... What is the first thing you do when you wake up on Saturday morning?

Mickey: ... I... think... of Foucault?

Interviewer: And when you sleep? No fantasizing? No Dreams??

Mickey: Foucault?

Interviewer: Then what the hell do you do during breaks on school days?!

Mickey: I... read Foucault?

Interviewer: EVERYDAY!?!?!

Mickey: On Tuesdays at 1:30 I do my Chemistry lab reports...

Interviewer: Okay... then?

Mickey: at about 4 I start reading Foucault.

Interviewer: How many books of his have you read?! It must be at least ten by now!

Mickey: Well... two...

Interviewer: After all that time!?!?!

Mickey: Well... 2 books by him and 3 literary criticism books on him. It's only been a month.

Interviewer: That's still slow by your book.

Mickey: It's hard... This isn't Harry Potter you know. IT'S HARD!!!! It's like reading John Donne, but harder... (starts crying)

Interviewer: I thought you enjoyed this?

Mickey: I do... or I just say so because I'm really scared of Fr. David... No! I do enjoy it! It's FUN!!!!! FUN I TELL YOU!!!! FUN!!!! (cries louder)

Interviewer: Do I sense sarcasm?

Mickey: (abruptly stops crying) surprisingly, no... I mean it. Foucault's a good read (stares at camera, winks, thumbs up, camera zooms in on face and thumb)

Interviewer: Any final words?

Mickey:... hmmm... J.A.P.A.N. ... T.C.C.I.C.! Foucault rocks!

And.... That is all.
