Exclusive Interview!

Akbar today, age 92.

Akbar Bashiti has long been one of jeffmauro.com's most intelligent comment contributors. He was the man who provided such pearls as "what about 'Zapf Chauncery'" when suggesting a funny font name for my top SIX gay font names post. Not afraid to speak his mind on all matters jeffmauro.com, Akbar is one of the reasons I keep working on this site. His wisdom on Farina in unparalleled, and his words cut like shiv's. Being an elusive character, he was hard to track down. I finally caught up with him at Curry Hurry on Sawtelle.

jeffmauro.com: So Mr. Bashiti, what is your-

Akbar: Please Mr. jeffmauro dot com, call me Bash hole (uncontrollable laughter).

jeffmauro.com: Your good Bash hole, good one. So, tell me, what brought you to this site and why do you post comments so often?

Akbar: well, the site is unlike anything I've ever experience. It's so confused as to what it is that it almost isn't what it shouldn't be. Therefore, I will even things out with the God's and those who fear me.

jeffmauro.com: Interesting. So what was your life like back in, where was it again-

Akbar: Bashtown, India. Land of honey and stew. My father was a sword maker and my mother raised us children and on the side she would occasionally raise other children for extra socks and cuts of lamb. Like most Bashtownites, we was very poor and only ate stew and pudding cakes. My father beat us with a heavy Tandoori skewer and my mother would often sob in her sleep. America was much of a welcome.

jeffmauro.com: When did you first arrive in America.

Akbar: Yesterday big bitch (humungous outburst of laughter). J.K. - 60 years ago, I came over for work with lamb-makers. I was successful and bought computer system for home. Now I retire and work out everyday doing fun stretches and coconut hunting.

jeffmauro.com: Awesome, well thank you for coming out of hiding and the team here at jeffmauro.com wish you well and hope you start commenting regularly again. We miss you!

Akbar: Go fuck yourself.(strangely no laughter).
