What’s the weirdest bookmark on your computer?
I’m pretty tame and pretty mild when it comes to computers. It’s just, like, the current movies playing and various beach destinations around the south east, because when I get a free weekend I like to shoot to the ocean. Tomorrow night, I plan on seeing The Wrestler, then on Sunday I’m going to see a matinee of Coraline.
What’s your favourite thing you’ve read about yourself online?
Well, I learnt this week that apparently I’m 42 years old, when I’m actually 35. That doesn’t hurt my feelings, but my daughter noticed that I have my own Wikipedia page and she got the biggest kick out of that, and she was confirming my age with me, so I looked at it and I was honoured. And someone on MySpace has created a Troy Sanders Beard Club! I don’t know if that’s truly crossed the line, if it's borderline stalking material, or if I should think, ‘Ohh, that’s great!' I mean, a fan club for my facial hair, that’s weird! I’m not sure if I completely absorbed that idea. It was created by a grown man!
Did you post a message on it?
I don’t even know how, I’d have to get someone to help me. I’m a caveman. When it boils down to it, I'm a caveman living in this modern world. Truly a prehistoric creature!
Would you ever live in a cave?
I'd love to live in a cave; I love to go spelunking. They have true nightlife, bats and worms – it’s nice to be part of a different world and to escape this one and enter the true underground.
What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever bought online?
I purchased a tub of mud that you use to create a penis mould of your own self.
Really?
Yes! I bought one! And then when it arrived I was like ‘Wow, I actually bought this!'
Did you do it?
No, I haven’t yet – it’s still sitting in my closet.
Are you going to?
Yeah! I don’t know if there’s an expiration date on it, but I’ve had it about a year so hope it doesn’t dry up!
What will you do with it afterwards?
Um… maybe I’ll sell it on for a charity cause. Maybe I’ll create the mould, sign it with a silver Sharpie, put it on auction and give alll proceeds to charity.
What’s seared onto your retinas that you wish you hadn’t seen on the internet?
I’ve seen some self-mutilation that’s a bit bothersome – I've see a man’s penis burnt off, you know…
You’ve seen that?
Yeah, that’s very unpleasant, that’s burnt in my retinas.
Where was that?
I believe it was some photos. Oh, you talk to Bill, he’s got a small collection of fucked-up shit. Every now and then I’ll glance and check it out, but it’s truly fucked up! Beyond all imagination.
What’s the last thing you looked up on the internet?
I saw a photo of Rasputin’s penis.
What?
His penis is in a jar on display in a museum in Russia. That’s the last thing I looked up. I was doing an interview a couple of days ago and someone mentioned his penis, and he was a genius because he'd tell woman that he'd cleanse their womb by having sex with them. I mean, what a cool pick-up line! And he had this giant Russian penis on him. It was amazing and now it’s immortalised in a jar in a museum in Russia. Well, we plan on going to Russia later on this year to play, so I’ll definitely plan a few days off while we’re there. My entire band looks forward to it!
