A Riveting Interview with Hugh Macaulay
I have known Hugh Macaulay for a little over a year now and I can confidently admit that he is a man with a lot to say. He has a very open mind and is not afraid to go in depth on even the smallest of topics. So let us take a large leap into the mind of a young man they call Hugh Macaulay.
Q: If you could have one super power, what would it be and why?
A: Hmm, interesting question. There are many super powers out there. There’s strength, there’s speed, there’s flying. I mean what would superman choose if he was only given one super power out of the lot of all of his super powers? Aside from all of that, I’m going to have to go with the ability to freeze time because that’s just a two in one whammy. You get to freeze time, giving you unlimited time to do whatever you want to do and it’s pretty much super speed.
Q: You went to London this summer, how do you feel about British accents?
A: Oh I got something to say about British accents oh boy do I. Now, they’re pretty interesting. I like them, but my heart really lies with all of the Italian accents out there. I think they’re just great.
Q: What’s the oldest memory you can think of at this very moment?
A: So when I was 3 or 4 years old my parents had these fake plastic flowers and I thought, is plastic flammable? So I got a lighter and lit them on fire and it was a pretty damn big flame. They were in my parents room too and there was a rug so I was kind of freaking out. I went into my dads office and he was on a business call and I was like, “Dad! Dad! Dad!” and he was just like, “shut up I’m on a business call!” I just yelled that there was a fire and as soon as he heard the word fire he got up, picked up the vase with his bare hands and walked all the way outside to dump it out and hose it. I was so small at the time like damn. It was so cool.

Q: You’re free falling from a plane with no parachute, what’s running through your mind?
A: Jeez, I’d probably embrace it. Probably do some flips and a couple turns I don’t know. Like what else are you gonna do?
Q: The whole world turns to you during an alien invasion, what are the first few lines of your speech looking like?
A: How did I get here? Like I’m just a college kid I don’t know why I’m leading this alien invasion army. Like uh, let’s get em.

Q: You wake up as the President of the United States and you can create and pass one law, what is that law?
A: Well this is more local so I don’t know if I would be dealing with issues by the State level, but that Hands Free Law is really grinding my gears. It’s brutal. First of all, any person out there is going to weigh the costs from the benefits. Back in 1996 or something like that they had a law passed where they mandated everybody to where seat belts. Car crashes and car accidents actually have risen since then. People felt more safe because they have a seat belt on so they thought aye, I’ll be a little more risky while driving. So how that applies here is people now are going to be looking down at their phone trying to hide it from cops rather than holding it up looking at the road and glancing at the road just a little bit. What’s worse, glancing up and turning your head, or just moving your eyes a little bit to see the road? So I think that law is a bunch of bologna.
Q: Women are said to develop an inhuman amount of strength when their child is in immediate danger, what situation would give you inhuman strength?
A: Jeez man, so they’re talking about life or death situations. With their child’s life, mothers will pick up cars because their kid is about to get run over or they’re trapped under a car. They’re trying to save a life so they just muster that up. The only scenario I could see myself just hulking it is if I was suspended from the middle of a volcano with lava rising and I’m hanging by a twig. I’m about to fall so I’m just going to claw my way up, grab whatever I can and use all of my strength and mobility I have. Oh I’m getting up there. Other than that, maybe if someone else was buying the last steak dinner at Walmart. I’d be pretty mad and maybe get some strength on that guy.

Q: What’s your ideal outfit for one of Jay Gatsby’s parties?
A: Camo crocks and jean shorts. Maybe with a cane and top hat.
Q: What’s your go to pick up line if you met someone in a Hobby Lobby?
A: Are you for sale, because you look like you could be my hobby.
Q: I know you got mugged at one point in your life, what was that experience like?
A: Honestly it was just crazy. So my friend got beat the hell out of, this guy kneed him in the face a couple times and kicked him in the ribs. He was pretty beat up. I got a knife pulled on me so I didn’t get beat up per se. They walked off. Me and my friend had just gotten to Rome as the first time being in another country and we didn’t know what the hell just happened. We just couldn’t believe it. We got over it and moved on. Went back to our place, slept and that was it. So we didn’t really think much on it after that.
