:1orglaugh

Holy crap that is a lot of questions. Good thing I know how to type :)


1. What the fuck is a Mormon doing in porn?
LMAO... I grew up Mormon. My moms side of the family was always Mormon and my Dads side wasn't. So mom had me going to church on sundays but if I really didn't want to go I would hit up dad. Havnen't been to church in close to 12 years but still believe in a lot of what they teach. They have a very very solid family structure and the kids brought up in the church are really brought up with strong morals which is always a good thing. Basically I spent some time there but mostly not there. Spent most of my time with my buddies who weren't Mormon.

What kind of question is this ? lol !

Nice! Mike, why are you hiring so many expensive Americans when there are better options?

I can't wait to read this one =)

Being a mormon do you wear a funny hat at family parties?

2. Do your parents know what you do? Do they condon it?

My family doesn't really talk about it. I think my Dad thinks it's cool. He has never said a word about what I do but it was his porn movies on the top shelf that I use to watch when he was at work :thumbsup And not to mention all his buddies at work tell me that he is proud of me.

My mom doesn't talk about it. She excepts it and is happy that I'm doing well but doesn't talk about it.

As for the rest of my family, 2 of my brothers work for me now and rest of my family just doesn't say a thing. Its gravy :)

I was thinking the same thing.. lol

19. Have you ever had a threesome, moresome? Homosexual encounter?

LOL!

Way to keep it edgy Sleazy!! ;)

DH

This is going to be great interview!

SHOW US YOUR CARS !


hhehehe

but please please don't show us your tits :)

This is gonna be a good one !

Can't wait to hear the answers...will be exciting :thumbsup

3. How did a web page contest get you involved in online adult?


Back in 95' or 96' I bought a computer to play a game I had played on my neighbors old Apple called Ultima. After getting the computer I found a site called PowWow which was like a community and it was based around a program like ICQ. But they also had webcams. I saw some hot girls in the profiles and I wanted to see their cams but the only way you could do this was if you had a cam of your own. And they were expensive back then.

One day PowWow had a home page making contest and I decided that I would enter this contest because the winner recieved this camera and some other little gifts. Well being determined to win I tought myself html. The only editor that I remember being out back then was Hotdog which was strictly a text editor like using notepad. So I had to learn the hard way which was good down the road. In order to have a winning site I looked at previous winners and previous entries. I went to each site and stole one good idea from all of them and redid those ideas on my site. I ended up with a winning site and the knowledge of html, some java, and ftp stuff. From there I figured why the hell not make an adult site.

So my very first adult site was a pay site called beaver palace which was the ugliest thing you have ever seen. But it got signups. I then got into the circle jerk and top50 game which we'll discuss later

Lars you have already seen my tits.. :)

I look forward to reading this interview.

4. How many affilates does silvercash have?

Interesting interview :thumbsup

You could hire an outsourced typist from Rick to finish the interview for you :1orglaugh

This will be a good read! For a guy that made so much money in this biz he is still pretty level headed.

I took this pic in Maimi. Mike is kinda into the wierd asain, plastic boob pretending its oral sex niche. It's silvercash's newest site. :)

7. Why did you quit roofing?

I was a roofer for years and tried to quit a few times actually :)


8. Did you enjoy killing bugs?

I managed a pest control company and we sprayed high end hotels and resturants at night when they were closed. It payed ok money and wasnt too bad of a job. lol

9. How come you're a high school drop out?

I was smarter then High School :1orglaugh or um I mean I thought I was. hehe

I broke my arm back to back years and once I couldn't play sports I was over going to class. I evenutally took my GED and went on to college.

Interesting read so far Mike!

Mike it is interesting to read about how you started in the biz and your life growing up.

Good Interview :thumbsup

YARGH!!! The good ship Mike is one of the good guys!

10. Can you speak japenese?

I spent two months for 24 hours a day in Provo Utah at one of the best language training centers in the world. I then went on to Japan and lived in the Nagoya and surrounding area for 2 years. I speak it like English :)

Weird huh! lol

11. Why do you call yourself LAMike? Why live in LA?


Nope, a long time ago on a java chat board there was 3 or 4 mikes in the room. So well decided to use our city before our name. I used L.A. because it was the closest major city to where I live.

awesome interview.
I have been looking forward to this one...

Two more I would love to read are the tony montana ambush, the elvismanson, David van der Pool and last but def. not least the bigJB one.

I hope sleazy will get a chance to do those. Thumbs up for the good work.

thats impressive.

Love your Saleen :thumbsup

Konichiwa lol

[1] Why did you go with those rims for the 7? (jc)
[2] Where do you park the S7?
[3] When did you hit your first mil? Was it from adult or mainstream?

Good shit man, keep on pimping :pimp

Konichiwa... Genki desu ka?

good interview.

1. Not sure which 7.. S7 was becuase they are racing rims with one 2 inch nut made specifically for that car and I had no choice. If you meant the 745 I was an easy upgrade to a 21 inch and its a BMW wheel so I knew it would fit.

2. S7 goes in the garage :)

3. Hit my first mil in the late 90s in adult

Good interview.

here is a question...


What other businesses are you operating other than silvercash.

Are you doing anything in mainstream ?

12. Are you a dumb jock? What sports do you play?

I grew up playing all kinds of sports. Baseball, basketball, football were the main ones. I still do this day play softball weekly and try to make some icq hockey ice times as well. My other favorite sport is wakeboarding.



Wakeboard vide

And cant forget golf :)
