Brett Maiden engineering freshman

Freshman doesn't find anything wrong with a little indecent exposure, has a permanent stick figure on his arm

Wildcat: I'm Claire from the Daily Wildcat and you're on the spot.

Maiden: Oh, wow. Is this real?

Wildcat: Yup, here's my handy dandy little media badge. So, describe the worst date you've ever been on.

Maiden: I dunno, I haven't had too many bad experiences. The first date I ever went on, I went to a movie and dinner and the girl forgot her wallet. I had never met her before, and then I never saw her after that. So I dropped a lot of money on a girl I didn't know.

Wildcat: I notice that you have a couple of hoops in your ears, have you ever had anyone get caught in them during a make-out session?

Maiden: (laughing) No, not yet. These are still pretty new.

Wildcat: Are you going to take any precautions for any ladies who have their tongues pierced?

Maiden: Yeah, my girlfriend has a tongue ring.

Wildcat: It looks like a little lick could wipe out your earlobe.

(investigates funny tunes emanating from pocket)

Maiden: It's my phone. I'll turn it off.

Wildcat: I would turn the phone off for the Wildcat, too. This is important business. So do you have any tattoos to go along with the piercings?

Maiden: (folds up sleeve to reveal four squares, three of which are empty and one with a little stick figure) Yeah, I have a tattoo on my right arm and I plan on getting another one on my other arm.

Wildcat: Umm ... pardon me ... but what in the heck is that?

Maiden: It's a design I made up, and the one square symbolizes soccer because I play soccer here at the U of A. The other ones are blank, so I don't know what's going in them yet.

Wildcat: I have a tattoo as well - but I can't show it right now because I don't want to get cited for indecent exposure. And I think I already showed it plenty in Mexico over spring break.

Maiden: (laughing) Hey! Nothing wrong with that!
