The interview itself

Got the interview via Dr. Émile P. Torres on twitter

Somebody else sneered: 'Makings of some fantastic sitcom skits here.

“No, I can’t wash the skidmarks out of my knickers, love. I’m too busy getting some incredibly high EV worrying done about the Basilisk. Can’t you wash them?”

There are a lot of people in EA who just wanted a legitimate reason or excuse to sit around and talk about these big questions. But that made it feel like it’s a real job and they’re doing something good in the world instead of just sitting in a room and talking about philosophy.

Ding ding ding. Give this person the washing machine and send them on to the finals.
