NRS Exclusive: an interview with not_pwang

Dear readers, you saw it here first: NRS sat down with the infamous not_pwang and asked a series of questions about recent occurences.

NRS: How did you get the name not_pwang?
not_pwang: Unlike life on earth, the nickname "not_pwang" was not created but evolved through natural selection, descending from its ancestor "pwang".

NRS: Please in three words what is the essence of not_pwang?
not_pwang: "Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger". I know you said 3 words, but Honey Badger doesn't give a shit.

NRS: What motivated you to participate in the BBS09 BBall pool and what was your strategy for picking your teams?
not_pwang: My goal was total domination and humiliation of Matt Owen in this tournament battle to the death. But once I realized "March Madness" is just a nickname and not an insanity defense, I started with the one piece of basketball knowledge which is true each year: UConn is the best team in the nation. From there, I used Bayesian Maximum Likelihood analysis of phylogenetic trees created from tournament brackets over the last 20 years. Easy peasy, japanesy. Oh...is that too soon?

NRS: What do you enjoy doing in your free time when you are not watching college bball?
not_pwang: Don't understand the question, please explain this "free time" you speak of.

NRS: What is an appropriate amount of bbs love?
not_pwang: More than you can shake a stick at.

NRS: What does the future hold for not_pwang? well we be seeing more of not_pwang soon?
not_pwang: Tough to say. Ask me again in a week.

Well it doesn't look like the always-mysterious not_pwang is giving us any immediate clues to the next big project. But when not_pwang does, you can always trust NRS to bring you the peer-reviewed scoop.
