Ego Of The Week

Ego of the Week: The Men of BMOC

BMOC is back, and the competition might get hairy among this year's contestants. You can see these gents movin' and groovin' for OAX's philanthropy event at the Roxxy on November 11th.

The Senior Men of BMOC

Street: Describe yourself in three words.

Arthur Rempel: Hairy as fuck.

Brian Foley: Not really hairy.

Jonah Campbell: Not witty enough.

Louis Markham: I think mine is "Strangely uplifting biscuit."

BF: Can you elaborate on that?

LM: Well, "strange" and "uplifting" are pretty obvious, but I also feel like we’re all soggy on the inside.

Tim Mason: I don’t know.

Chris Gabos: Can I say smart, loyal, and "another one?"

Street: What qualities make you a true BMOC?

AR: My musical taste. I have a wide array of appeals. I like Celine Dion and Justin Bieber, and I’m planning on incorporating all that into a phenomenal dance.

BF: I’m the definition of work hard, play hard.

JC: Hours and hours of quality practice on the Smoke’s dance floor.

CG: I choreographed the Hotline Bling music video.

LM: My interstellar pecs will be making an appearance.

Street: Who’s your top competition?

AR: That small little stage we have to dance on.

CG: Jonah’s body, probably.

JC: Fear itself.

TM: Arthur Rempel. He may have won last year, but anyone can be beat on any given Wednesday night.

Street: How would you describe your chest hair in a few words?

AR: HAIRYASFUCK. One word.

CG: Mr. Clean’s Head.

LM: Up and coming.

TM: Curly and cuddly.

JC: Humble.

Street: What is your training regimen for BMOC?

BF: Drinking, dancing, drinking, dancing, and more drinking.

TM: I’m visualizing all day every day.

CG: Copa Margs.

LM: One of my biggest strengths is the softness of my hair, so upping the amount of conditioner I use.

CG: Do you condition your chest hair?

AR: I’ve done that. It doesn’t work. I’ve been watching YouTube tutorial videos on how to do handstands and backflips.

TM: I’ve also been watching the Soulja Boy instructional video.

BF: I’m developing a foreign accent so I can sound like Louis.

JC: 6:00 AM yoga-lates.

Street: What’s your spirit animal?

AR: Tazmanian devil.

BF: Baby monkey.

TM: Peacock.

LM: Not by choice, but I’ve been told it’s a flamingo.

CG: Sloth.

BF: Yeah, after meeting you for five minutes, that’s quite fitting.

JC: Snow Leopard.

Street: Who is your inspiration for BMOC?

AR: Mike Markovitz.  His dance last year was awesome, with the little briefs.

TM: Derek Jeter.  We’re both biracial angels.

BF: Justin Bieber.  No matter what I do, I can’t do worse than he does.

JC: Napoleon Dynamite.

CG: Carlton from Fresh Prince.

Street: Boxers or briefs?

AR: Briefs, hands down. If anyone says boxers, you’re out of here.

TM: It’s been briefs since third grade.

BF: Neither, go free! I haven’t worn underwear since ‘Nam.

CG: Thong.

Street: If you are what you eat, what are you?

TM: 2:00 AM bags of GoPuff.

LM: I’m an oreo milkshake kind of guy.

CG: Big Macs.

AR: Honey.

BF: Steak and dumplings can be my meal for the rest of my life.

JC: Freshly caught wild trout.

Street: Man buns: for or against?

AR: YES. I’m growing one out now and it’s so fucking cool.

JC: It depends on type of man bun. If it’s the little baby one on the top of their head that looks bad. If it’s a full legit mane, that’s a different story.

CG: That’s a trend that needs to stop.

LG: There needs to be foliage. As in it’s collected foliage and memories.

BF: It needs to be established. I think we’re in agreement.

CG: No we are not. I am very much against the man bun.

Street: The theme of BMOC is "Oops! BMOC Did It Again." What’s your favorite thing about the ‘90s?

BF: My birth. Birth is so in.

CG: Nickelodeon, specifically Slime Time Live.

LG: Pokémon.

BF: Old-school Game Boy.

TM: Zoog Disney.

JC: Zoboomafoo.

BF: Rocket Power… with the woogidty woogidty handshake!

TM: Dunkaroos!

Street: Give us one reason people should come to BMOC.

AR: Foley’s definitely gonna do something crazy.

CG: Raise money for charity.

LM: Feed our egos.

TM: I’ll be shirtless.

JC: Relive your elementary school days.

Street: Who will you thank in your acceptance speech?

BF: My grandmother.  She’s a saint.

AR: Brian Foley.

CG: I’d like to thank Twister, my coaches, and Tommy Pickles.

TM: Barry Bonds, Lil Romeo, Bow wow, my childhood idols.

JC: Silly putty, Moon shoes, Neopets.

LM: Penn Admissions office for letting me stay here for five years so I could do BMOC.

Street: There are two types of people at Penn…

TM: People who know about Nora’s food truck and those who don’t.

LM: Those who like to cuddle after sex and those who don’t.

JN: Smokes people and Blarney people.
