Ask 'Junkyard Wars Diva' Cathy Rogers
Junkyard Wars (and the British Scrapheap Challenge) have long been popular with Slashdot readers. Now Cathy is co-host of a new show, Full Metal Challenge, that also involves teams building strange machines out of this and that. Take a look at this 'Cathy' fan site (and possibly her less interesting official biography), then ask away. (Usual Slashdot interview rules.)

In the first place it should be known in what sort of a place they are formed. For cutting, excising, sewing, binding, applying putrefacient means to the anus,-all these appear to be very formidable things, and yet, after all, they are not attended with mischief. I recommend seven or eight small pieces of iron to be prepared, a fathom in size, in thickness like a thick specillum, and bent at the extremity, and a broad piece should be on the extremity, like a small obolus. Having on the preceding day first purged the man with medicine, on the day of the operation apply the cautery. Having laid him on his back, and placed a pillow below the breech, force out the anus as much as possible with the fingers, and make the irons red-hot, and burn the pile until it be dried up, and so as that no part may be left behind. And burn so as to leave none of the hemorrhoids unburnt, for you should burn them all up. You will recognize the hemorrhoids without difficulty, for they project on the inside of the gut like dark-colored grapes, and when the anus is forced out they spurt blood. When the cautery is applied the patient's head and hands should be held so that he may not stir, but he himself should cry out, for this will make the rectum project the more. When you have performed the burning, boil lentils and tares, finely triturated in water, and apply as a cataplasm for five or six days. But on the seventh, cut a soft sponge into a very slender slice, its width should be about six inches square. Then a thin smooth piece of cloth, of the same size as the sponge, is to be smeared with honey and applied; and with the index finger of the left hand the middle of the sponge is to be pushed as far up as possible; and afterward wool is to be placed upon the sponge so that it may remain in the anus. And having girded the patient about the loins and fastened a shawl to the girdle, bring up this band from behind between the legs and attach it to the girdle at the navel. Then let the medicine which I formerly said is calculated to render the skin thick and strong, be bound on. These things should be kept on for not less than twenty days. The patient should once a day take a draught from flour or millet, or bran, and drink water. When the patient goes to stool the part should be washed with hot water. Every third day he should take the bath.
What about Rollins?

I used to put up with Henry. I think Bill from Black Flag is the best drummer ever. I even liked Henry in that movie The Chase. But he has lost his mind. I see no reason for him to be on this show. I can't stand his poetry, he thinks he is Jello Biafra now (whom I can do without now as well). Stick with what you know, don't try to show me how you are so cool, so grown up. Do I need to forget about TV Show? (Many will not understand this, please move along, nothin to see here. I just hate how people can do a complete 180 and want us to forget about the past)
this is actually a good question, moderators...
do you Brits speak? The official biography says after graduating from Oxford you 'read medicine'... That conjures images of "Xanax, Xanax, Xanax, yep, this is Xanax too. Darn, everyone in the whole bottle says the same thing!"
And, since you seem to be into this stuff....
Are you a dirty girl?

We'll all be making yummy waffles
And I want to know are you the one for me
without a dream in my heart
The smell of the warm summer air
Everyone has got the fear
That's a strange mistake to make
We are gonna kick some ass tonight
Nitro Junkie, Paint me dead
As only in my dreams I'm my biggest enemy
I Thank you for loving me
the arrow goes straight through my heart
i gave you my Purity
the plastic face forced to portray
when everything seemed to matter more
greed
i want to watch it come down
i'd rather die than give you control
Tiptoe from your pillow, to the shadow of a willow tree
And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight, will you pardon me?
