Meerkats
I was inspired by rajjayaraj posting of meerkat portraits, so just to prove even I have a sense of humour (but only when it’s wet, windy and cold). This is an interview with Aleksandr Orlov of Compare the Meerkat answering some simples questions:
MEERKAT MAXIMS
How did you come up with comparethemeerkat.com?
It was the idea of my Papa Anton. It actually came to him in a dream after he had eaten a larger than normal plate of cheesy beetles.
What did you study at school?
I am graduate of the "Learn English Through Acupuncture" correspondence course. I am also qualify cravateer and fur stylist.
You have clearly embraced the digital age... has it been difficult?
No, it was piece of centipede cake. My ITkat, Sergei, used to work on Russian space program and has install state of art computermabob with extra large RAM jar and floppy box.
Your most amusing Facebook update?
What do termites eat for breakfast? Oakmeal! That killed at the Annual Leaders in Commeerce Roundtable this year.
How much time do you spend at your computer each day?
In morning I have to spend many hour replying to timewasters who are email me for cheap car insurance deal. The rest of day split between snacking and Tweeting about snacks.
Favourite website?
I am current working on a new social media website, called Fritter. It is like Facebook and Twitter combine to let you waste time more efficiently.
Who do you most admire?
Celine Dion for produce some of best emoto-pop records in all time.
What are you most proud about?
I am proud of Orlov family museum. I have spent years collecting relic from my family's past, like grub tin from their old home in the Kalahari and first cravat ever worn by an Orlov. If there was fire in mansion I do not know what I would send Sergei in to save first.
How many marriage proposals have you had?
Today? Under 10. Ever? Let us just say that if I had a rouble for every one, I would be able to add a third storey to my limousine.
If you were a character from a book, who would it be?
Knightkat. He is star of graphic novel I am working on. He run successful internet business by day but is crime fighting evil mongoose at night. It is base on true story.
Favourite piece of clothing?
My smoking jacket was made special for me by tailor in Makaryev. It will always have special place in my heart, mainly because it has special place for my tail.
Any piercings or tattoos?
My fur is too luscious and my tastes too sophisticate for that.
The most important thing your mother told you?
"Never go up onto the roof with your roller skates on."
Favourite song?
The Orlov Family Song. It tells of my family in medium of rousing marching jig and, latest recording feature vocal talents of me. If anyone from the Russian Eurovision Entry Committee is read, please check out for it on website.
