Q&A With Chieftan Mews 2012.
Q&A With Chieftan Mews 2012.
Well as promised Mew’s took to twitter early this morning (or in the middle of the day/evening depending where you where) answering 23 questions in all.
First however he changed his twitter profile picture to ccccc.jpg:
Which shows the box for a scale model of a British Army Chieftain Mk.5 Tank.
The following is a full transcript of his tweets from tonight, (note that time is in EST GMT+10).
Unlike last year Chieftan Mews replied to each question directly instead of retweeting them first. This is because Twitter now keeps conversations intact so others can read tweets in context.

@ChieftanMews: @vematias I don’t work with “them”. I have a few things I’m working on. Things in the hopper. Consulting gigs. I’m doing just fancy, why?

@ChieftanMews are you going to sell some stuff again? Why not any appearance since the webcast?

@ChieftanMews: @FullTimeFutbol Not at all. It sucks out our souls. It takes us away from freedom. It gives us perception, not reality. Spurs are tired.

@ChieftanMews feliz 32 de marzo, señor mews. where are you hiding now?
Mew’s finished the Quiz with the following message:
1:22 AM – 2 Apr 12 via web
@ChieftanMews: OVER. DONE WITH. MASSIVELY DISAPPOINTED WITH YOU ALL. ASK BETTER QUESTIONS. THINK HARDER AND ASK AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
So looks like we may well be seeing Mew’s again next March 32nd. Hopefully with enough time for fans to think up some new questions more of his liking.
Update:
On April 2nd Chieftan Mews has deleted all his Q&A tweets. It also appears that he’s returned his profile image to clipclopclipclop.jpg
Oui Emil, yes, Mañana es 32 de Marzo. Q&A questions due 24 hours from now Kiritimati time. I want your freedoms.

@ChieftanMews: Oui Emil, yes, Mañana es 32 de Marzo. Q&A questions due 24 hours from now Kiritimati time. I want your freedoms.
Mew’s tweeted this in reply to Emil’s tweet reminding him that Tomorrow is the 32nd of March:
@EmilioGuardado: Mañana es 32 de Marzo! ( @ChieftanMews )
Last year on March 32nd (April 1st) Chieftan Mews ran a Twitter Q&A with Fans over in which he answered 18 questions.
With tomorrow marking exactly a year since that day Chieftan Mew’s replied with news that he is going to do another Q&A this year.
He provided the following deadline to have your questions tweeted to him by:
24 hours from now Kiritimati time.
Kiritimati is another name for Christmas Island and suggests that all questions should be received by 6:43:00 AM LINT (UTC/GMT +14 hours )
‘I want your freedoms.’ suggests that he wants our time/attention.
“Off The Grid. Into The Woods.”
Mew’s has deleted almost all his tweets again.
Chieftan Mew’s twitter page as of the 18th of March 2012:
This might be to mark the end of the first leg of Radiohead’s 2012 Tour which wrapped up in Phoenix, Arizona on the 15th or it could be for some other reason entirely.
You can read all his deleted tweets, along with a complete record of every tweet known here. along with a annotated version of his current tweets here.
He’s also updated his Twitter Location to “Off The Grid. Into The Woods.” and his twitter display picture back to his original green one with the file name clipclopclipclop.jpg
Off the Grid is a term used for not being outside of the electrical grid either though providing your own power or simply living without it all together. While popular with people aiming for a more sustainable lifestyle it’s also a expression used for falling out of the modern world, usually with the aim of getting back to nature.
Mew’s clearly is aiming for the second as he returns to the woods, he’s used this expression before in terms of returning to the forest/woods to announce a period of silence followed by little twitter activity nor news from the band.
clipclopclipclop is a reference to the end of Episode 3 of The Most Gigantic Lying Mouth of All Time:
“What is Fear? Fear is the Clip Clop of Police Horses.
Clip clop, clip clop, clip clop.
Sleep well.”
Two New Tweets Today!
Mew’s is back, posted early this morning!

Some very early ones are missing and some cannot be verified as 100% correct. however we are working towards creating as much of a complete record as possible.
We have a Facebook at ImsMenoo and a Twitter at @Ers_Menoo.

IMS MENOO & ERS MENOO
The ‘slightly’ more logical side of the debate. Busting Myths and fact-checking on the trail of Chieftain Mews.
We’re working hard to collect up all the information from the past year to create a fully annotated attempt to understand the meaning of each message from Chieftan Mews, while we do not expect to be 100% correct we hope to assist in dispelling myths and making it easier to keep track of everything. Not everything is going to be in order but you can use the Current Tweets and Past Tweets to see where things belong.
If you can help, or have DM messages, information, screenshots or copies of tweets both to or from Mews that you would like to share please email them to muggs@ersmenoo.com, if you would like to help on the site we would love to add you to our writers.
We also currently have a tiny number of @ersmenoo and @imsmenoo email address available though Google Apps. If you would like one please let us know, they will be given out on a first come first served basis.
