Today, my fellow Farkers, we have one of the more colourful members of our little society up for humiliation.
He has been a part of this place for quite some time now, but is still fairly young. He also has a user name that noone ever wants to type out, it's too bloody long. FATPM is usually the acronym used instead.
Yeah, somewhere between here and the thread title you figured it out - tonight's farker is Fattyandthepiemakers!

1. Who are you (name, bikes you ride, age, job)
I suck at intros so I’ll keep it simple… My Name is Aidan H. (better known through the community as “Chewy”); I am currently in year 12 and am looking at doing a bachelor of creative media or something along that line next year if marks prevail. I ride what the pros were hucking back in the day, Santa Cruz Super 8 (2001 model but I could be wrong). I am a hack. I also ride a Trek (*hiss*) Bruiser 2 which is always a bit of fun. I deliver papers.
2. When and why did you become a member of Farkin?
Back in 2005 (seems a lot longer then that) I was told about this awesome forum called Farkin.net. I was a bit hesitant at first so I googled it and to my amazement there it was. Farkin.net, Australian mountain biking. I registered under the name fattyandthepiemakers and was on my way to a life filled with hours of first grade comedy. I’m not sure what really compelled me to join at the time. Perhaps it was to find out more about the sport and the culture behind it because back then I was a total noob. Off-topic was always a highlight; I never knew how many different types of home brews there were or how much time people spend on trying to prove a point. So all in all the reason I joined Farkin was to post pointless crap.
3. How the hell did you come up with your username?
http://jerryandthetilemakers.com.au and a bit of imagination… Nah, actually I’m not too sure how and when I came across that name. I love the name because it doesn’t fit in the user block and it makes me stand out. The funny thing is I do enjoy pies immensely but I’m in no way fat, maybe even underweight.
4. Who is your favourite rider of all time, and why?
Me. My second favourite rider would be Bender because he’s such a pinner; sorry to whomever I stole that off. Any Aussie that does well and enjoys riding is a great rider in my books.
5. What is something about you that few people know?
I used to do competitive lawn bowling. Don’t ask me why; guess it’s a case of peer pressure. It actually isn’t that bad of a sport, I would take it over indoor cricket any day. You meet a lot of interesting old people and hear some interesting stories (well most of the time) and you get free sandwiches and if something’s free it must be good.
6. What is the heaviest thing in your house?
My sense of pre-anticipated over confidence. I build lots of crap; jumps, hucks, gaps and being the pussy I am I usually watch a few better riders hit it up then I give it a go with the usual “That wasn’t that bad” to follow.
7. How did you come to own that thing?
Beer and shovels.
8. Do you really own an STP?
Do fish swim? Of course I don’t own an STP! Although I have touched one before… that was enough for me.
9. If so, why in god’s name would you do such a thing? / If not, how come?
Why wouldn’t I buy an STP you ask? Hmm… I could buy one but then I would get banned.
10. What does your other half think of mountain bikes?
Next question.
11. What does your boss think of mountain bikes?
As long as I make the deliveries he doesn’t care how or what I ride. I asked my sports teacher if he heard about the interschool DH competition, he’s a dumb shit!
12. What’s your favourite section of Farkin and why?
I like MTF; it reassures me that there are riders out there that have more issue than I do. Off-Topic is good too; love spending countless hours reading the crap that Johnny, S. and Arpit write.
13. What is on the desk you log onto Farkin from?
Hmm… About 50 blank DVDs, Echoes, a 42 tooth DH blackspire, graph pad, collection of PC games, MTBA licence, computer crap, 200GB portable hard drive, coaster, noodles, some AutoCAD project draft, dead batteries, socket set, bank statement (seriously depressing shit), a MAD magazine.
14. Mac or PC?
I still can’t get my head around the whole hold down ctrl thing or whatever it is to right click. I’ll take a PC thank you.
15. Ipod or Iriver?
Well ‘Iriver’ has more letter than ‘Ipod’ so I’ll take the Iriver.
16. Last time you got approached by the police?
A while back we were walking (yes, walking) from the movies to a party along one of our busiest streets (standard Sydney suburban street) and an unmarked cop car pulled us up and searched our bags on suspicion of weapons, they found a 20cm knife earlier from some random. But I had nothing to hide, I’m a good boy. End of story.
17. Last time you yelled at someone?
I don’t yell at people, I run to the corner and eat. True fact.
18. Last time someone yelled at you?
I got yelled at today for being too spontaneous and random. QQZ..QQQ7j<<ha=
19. Last time you wished you hadn’t said something:
When you asked me if I wanted to be on MTF.
20. Who would you love to see become a member of Farkin?
Nick Mason, Syd Barrett, David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Richard Wright, John Paul Jones, John Bonham, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Adrian Smith, Steve Harris, Bruce Dickinson, Dave Murray, Janick Gers, Nicko McBrain, Ian Gillan, Steve Morse, Roger Glover, Don Airey, Ian Paice, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward, Tony Iommi, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Ian Anderson, Glenn Cornick, Clive Bunker, Martin Barre, Alfred Yankovic, John Entwistle, Roger Daltrey, Keith Moon and Pete Townshend. I’m sure they would support my lifestyle choices.
Or a robot, robots are always cool, one with guns for hands.
