Veer:

We’re going to play a little game of Hot or Not. Number one: Law & Order.

Corey:

I would have to say not, only because my wife won’t turn the damn thing off, so it’s become not.

Veer:

Screen-printing

Corey:

Hot, but also not, because it’s a fad. It’s one of the things I look back on fondly, because just as I was leaving Cal Arts, they were closing down the screen-printing lab. It’s one of the only things in design where you get your hands dirty. There’s something romantic about screen-printing. I hate the fact that everyone fake screen prints in Photoshop now. Hot if it’s screen-printing, and if it’s in Photoshop... not.

Veer:

Mustaches

Corey:

Definitely not. Facial hair just wigs me out.

Veer:

Threadless

Corey:

I hate it. I’m happy that it’s this punk rock aesthetic where the masses are able to join in and people can do their own thing. But damn I hate it. I don’t know what it is about them.

Veer:

Terry Gilliam

Corey:

So friggin’ hot. I took a job working at a poster design shop called Concept Arts solely because one of the three creative directors there was an animator for Terry Gilliam.

Veer:

Notorious B.I.G.

Corey:

I will say not, and I know almost nothing about rap music. I consider him on the commercial end of rap, and the rap I like is more like left field.

Veer:

Getting hammered

Corey:

I don’t even know how to answer that. I’m going to say hot.

Veer:

Identical twins

Corey:

My daughters are fraternal twins, so I’ll say not.

Veer:

Xbox

Corey:

Xbox 360 is my current drug of choice, so I’ll say hot. I am so frigging obsessed with that.

Veer:

The Mediterranean

Corey:

I’m going to say hot. I went on a vacation - this goes along with the getting hammered question. I’ll be damned if it wasn’t the best time I ever had.

Veer:

YouTube

Corey:

I am so freakin’ obessed with that. To make it 10 times worse, I watch pro wrestling on it. I can’t get enough of it. Anything like luchedor matches and crazy pro wrestling things.

Veer:

Kris Kristofferson

Corey:

Seriously not. My mom was so into him. You rebel against your parents.

Veer:

Digital cameras

Corey:

They’re hot. It’s changed my life. I never wanted to do photography before, it cost so much freakin’ money. Now it’s just one time it costs an assload of money, and once you get past that, you can take as many photos as you want.

Veer:

Organic food

Corey:

Not. I can’t get behind it. I like Mexican food. And there’s nothing organic in Mexican food.

Veer:

Lavalife

Corey:

I have no idea what that is. I’ve been married for 10 years and dating my wife for 5 years before that. Anything that’s happened since the early ’90s in the dating scene, I’m not aware of.

Veer:

Capoeira

Corey:

I will say very hot because the other thing I’m obsessed with is Ultimate Fighting Championship. The MMA, the mixed martial arts, is frickin’ sweet.

Veer:

Horoscopes

Corey:

Not

Veer:

TV butlers, such as Benson, Mr. Belvedere, Alfred, and Jeffrey of Fresh Prince

Corey:

I absolutely despise kitsch, but I have such a fond spot for TV butlers. Super hot.

Veer:

Jennifer Connelly in The Rocketeer

Corey:

Jennifer Connelly in anything is hot.

Veer:

Flickr

Corey:

Hot. I have so many friends who are into it. I haven’t gotten around to it. I think the thing is absolutely amazing and I’m shamed by not being more knowledgeable about it. I’m afraid it will consume me and I’m gonna upload crappy pictures of me and my dog. No one wants to see that.
