The Freshfive Q&A with Bu-Jesus.

Time to put Bu-Jeus through the FreshFive ringer, He might be small, but mentally he's a power lifter and can have you in the sweaty palm of his hand before you ask the first question.. Not only is Bu-Jesus. a.k.a Brandon DeRoche is a known butterfly knife expert, gang sign language specialist,and has also recently developed the ability to peel fruit without ever even touching it. So look but dont touch what Bu-jesus is up to over at his digs at The Biggest Label Ever and Cause Cast.

1. Your from York PA. Write a 4(four)line rhyme with the first line being
"I was dropped by a stork, on a doorstep in York."

B.D.: I was dropped by a stork, on a doorstep in York.
Home of peppermint patties, and a surplus of fatties.
First capitol of the states, some like to boast,
I packed it up and moved to the opposite coast.
Living in Cali, might as well call me cheech,
Driving a beat up benz and living by the beach.

Ed. note: EPIC MATH FAIL

2. Your a road dog. If thrown into a convience store with 10 bucks..
Facing a 12 hour ride in a van with 4 dudes .. Whadda ya buyin?

B.D.: A road soda, bag of chips, candy, energy drink.

3. Descible your personilty using 3 items you would find in a liquor store?

B.D.: Red Wine, Jack, Meyers maybe? Does that describe anything?

Ed. note: yeah,that you're a yawning lunatic who maybe has dreads?

4. If you had to move to another country for 5 years which would it be and why?

B.D.: It'd likely be an island, but couldn't tell you which one.
I'll be be there because I'll be on an early, temporary retirement.

5 When faced with such a dilema as extreme panic it's best to just turn off your mind for awhile., float downstream and let the magic make everything better.

3. I've seen the last scene in Ghostbusters and the thing I can say about that shit is that if I was made of marshmellow I would definitely not be so angry.

Cook: "Get the fuck off my hover-board, asshole!"
