ahh you are making me tear up! My favorite place to be is in between Gunner and Tanker... I mean how much safer could a girl be?

Thanks for the GTs LoL And the discretion :) If it were not for you and your lovely wife I would never have met my Tanker... well maybe I would have but it would not have been nearly as memorable LoL

8.How fast can you type?

I can type 85-89 WPM according to Typingtest.com If I am not copying a text and I am just typing whatever I want it is much faster. Somewhere over 100.

I am apparently 128% faster and more accurate than the average touch typer, again this is according to typingtest.com which was the only way I could answer this question.

I am not sure who gave you this question but I remember that people have walked over to talk to me while I am typing, started to chat with me and then just stopped mid-sentence when they realized how fast my fingers were going while I was still holding a conversation with them. LoL

It was an amazing 1-2 year blur of... fun. Lots of fun memories, yet so many forgotten. :pimp

Slacker, I'm at least 120 WPM. :)

Great interview .... my only dirt was "how did Las Vegas play a role in your marriage to Tanker?" :)

Ahh and just to think I wouldn't have been woken up that night to a squeaking bed. ; ) Wouldn't have changed it for anything, those were some fun (kid-less) times!

Yay! Ellisa is the best - one of the kindest, smartest, and sweetest souls around. There is no one better to spend the last day of a show with or dance in the rain with. I'm looking forward to reading the responses to these question.

Miss you Princess xoxo

LoL If you can do the typingtest.com tests at 120 WPM my hats off to you. At 89 WPM there was smoke coming off of my keyboard LoL

Really if you hadn`t shown Tanker what to do I might still be waiting for my first kiss LoL

Boring..... who cares

31) Is it true that Steve Lightspeed made you and your mother cry at your wedding? ;)

Whatever do you mean rollinthunder? Who cares? As if that is even a question. I mean obviously no one cares about you or ever has otherwise you wouldn't have to be here and be so useless in my thread. Here's a quarter ... go call someone who ... oh wait no one does because you suck big blue harry balls. :321GFY

good stuff :)

Looking forward to reading this thread! Ellisa is good peoples

Kristein did indeed kiss Ellisa before I did!

9.Why are you always running late?

Well I am not sure. I think it is probably routed in the firm belief that nothing really starts until I get there. It could be tied to the fact that I never wear a watch anymore. Mostly I just underestimate the amount of time it takes me to get ready. That said with the weight loss it is a little easier because all my clothes fit the way that they are supposed to which definitely helps LoL

10.Why did you study deviant behavior?

I studied deviant sociology not with a career in adult in mind although it certainly has helped. Mostly I am very interested in people and how they interact which is why I did a minor in sociology. That said as I started to look up the course credits I would need for this minor I realized that I could fulfill all of them by taking the Sociology of Deviance courses which were super interesting compared to say the sociology of family or the education system.

My final report was about S & M as a subculture. I did an analysis on the Story of "O" along with some trips into some S & M clubs in Toronto and of course in 2000 there was plenty of stuff of the Internet to dissect. I also brought in a full collection of toys to illustrate some of my points for the class when I had to present my paper.

Some students were totally into it but 1 girl was so incredibly offended that the T.A. had to step up and explain that I was within my rights and guidelines to be speaking about that topic. I think it was the passage from the story of "O" that I used that upset her. It was the part where they were stretching her asshole out for anal. Perhaps a bit graphic for some people. I got an A on my presentation, although I think the T.A. was hoping for an actual demo now that I think about it LoL

I used to be 15 minutes early! Instilled in me in the Marines! Platoon Sgt chewing my ass or having me dig fox holes for being 1 second late. Ellisa managed to undo all of that discipline that was instilled in me about being on time.

That is OK though as if I'm late now its because I am going somewhere with her. And as she said nothing starts until she gets there.

I'm loving this, great couple and and fantastic thread!

yes such a cute industry couple

11.Why are you such a good dancer?

Who me? A good dancer? Why thank you! I love to dance! It makes me feel so happy. I started dance classes around the same time I was able to walk. My mom was a professional singer and dancer so she felt the sooner she could start me off the better.

I studied ballet, tap and jazz and competed and performed all the way through university. However it was pre "So you think you can Dance" and all the opportunities that seem to be available to dancers now. I really felt that short of being a back-up dancer, there wasn't much I could do with my talent since I couldn't carry a tune to save my life. So when it came time to start working I let it go, which I now regret as I could have kept it as a hobby, although my knees and hips thank me profusely.

Sadly for everyone around me I also really like to sing. I am acutely aware of my terrible voice but just can't help myself. What I would really like is to take some ballroom classes with Tanker. I am strangely having a hard time getting him to see how much fun that could be. :1orglaugh

I cant say enough about her! She is super smart, beautiful, and my best friend.

When we took this photo I was on cloud nine! We were about 8 months out from our wedding. It's an awesome feeling once you know you have your soul-mate.

Since then that cloud gets higher and we have had many adventures together! Thanks to those of you that have popped into this thread that have been with us for some of them. You make them even more memorable.

I agree!!!

:thumbsup

Sending love to my favorite Princess in the world.

Oh, sigh. Ellisa and Tanker.

Does anyone know where the pictures are of Sweetums and I dancing in the rain in curacao? I found the event but no proof LoL

Such a wonderful person. I'm looking forward to this one. Go Ellisa!

One of the greatest , and nicest people I have met in the industry, That is both Ellisa and Tanker. Always friendly, always chill. Great Thread.

Wait never mind I found it: http://fubarwebmasters.com/archive/c...aya/z07207.htm

I believe this photo was taken about 5 minutes before Steve Lightspeed poured his beer into my shoe by accident LoL

Oops better if I post the picture instead of the page! Sorry Jules... I guess that is why we leave all the photos to you LoL:

This needs a Like button.

HAHA....love this! GREAT person to interview! I can't wait for the rest of the answers.......some of these are going to get really good! :)


Oh...and awesome picture of you two!

12.Why did Tanker have a such a disturbed look on this face when Sleazy asked you to make his bed?

Another easy question; The disturbed look would be because you are his friend and he didn't want anything bad to happen to you. I think the more disturbed look came when I made your bed because I wanted to put a thank you card on it for our awesome wedding gift...which for those of you who don't know were 2 round trip tix 1st class to Costa Rica.

I like to surprise people.

Don't feel bad for Tanker though I was very up front with him before we got married that I was domestically challenged. Turns out that I am a pretty good cook though so he actually got a slightly better deal than he bargained for.

13.What's Tanker got that Phil Collins doesn't have?

Nothing against bald men but definitely at that age it was a hair thing. I met Phil Collins at a Ball in London when I was about 12. He said I was pretty and asked me to marry him jokingly (I would hope jokingly as I was 12 and anything otherwise would have been wicked in appropriate). I told him thanks but no thanks!

Really at that age the only thing I was thinking was "you are old, and bald big giant pass!"

One of my favorite and most awesomeness people in the whole world, perfect candidate for an ambush interview! Can't wait to read the whole thing, keep it coming!
WG

I got a lil more hair then him whew thank god

I agree! Its one of my favorite pics of Ellisa and I. There are some other really good ones in this set too! Like:

14.Talk about your first OFFICIAL date with Tanker.

My first official date with Tanker was wicked awesome! It was supposed to be a camping trip with The Doc and Kristin who chaperoned all of our first encounters.

When I arrived in Vegas to head to lake Mead Kristin informed me that she had papers due and too much work to actually be able to leave on our trip.

Tanker saw this as opportunity and said we should still go and do something if not camping. So we decided to go to the Grand Canyon and then to visit Ram in Jerome and then to Arizona.

Tanker booked in at a really nice hotel for the Grand Canyon it was the only one that was classified as a spa. We drove out there and then planned to get up and check out the grand canyon the next day.

We had an amazing dinner and evening. The next morning when we woke up to go to the Grand Canyon and discovered that the line up of cars to get in was atrocious. While I was getting ready Tanker disappeared out of the room.

When he returned he held up 2 passes to take a helicopter ride over the canyon instead. It was very romantical.

I had some awesome photos of that but unfortunately I learned my lesson about backing up my laptops when all of those were lost.

The rest of the trip was pretty awesome too until it was time to go home, it always sucked to have to leave. Thank God for Southwest though as their cheap flights made it posible for us to fly somewhere almost every weekend and meet up.

What a great memory though, thanks for bringing it back up!

15.Discuss CCBill tools, how did you come up with the idea?

Well first of all I have to clarify for the sake of legal that it is in fact CCBTools which stands for Creative, Click-Thru, Business Tools, although if I could have got away with calling it CCBill Tools I definitely would have.

In fact even as CCBTools, the first thing we got when we launched was a C & D from CCBill. I was so excited we came up on their radar so quickly until I read the email LoL

Thank God a little birdie happened to be around the offices while it was being discussed and explained that it was Tanker and me behind the product and that we came in peace.

2 years later we do have a great working relationship with them as you can see from their new appstore where we are featured: CCBill App Portal

As for how did we come up with the idea? Well there was definitely a shortage of promotional tools for the numerous small CCBill Affiliate Programs that existed. So Mike69, another old school name, programmed the suite of tools that most webmasters wanted, everything from a banner manager, POTD, RSS Feeds, Flash embedded videos and galleries to include 15 different tools. Then made an easy to use and very sleek admin portion so the program owner could control all of their promotional content and tools from one easy to use interface.

Then it was up to Tanker and I to spread the word and show everyone how awesome it was. I think what our clients will agree on is that while they love the tools the biggest value is in getting to work so closely with Tanker and all of his expertise.

cool thread ;-)

I think us skipping was for the best. =)

Awwww you two are absolutely adorable together... great interview so far Ellisa!

Princess Ellisa Rocks! You go girl :thumbsup

bump - just cause

LOVE UUUUUUU xo

Ellisa rocks it... so does the whole CCBTools crew. Best people I have dealt with in the industry

16.Tell a Key West story that will leave a mark on everyone's brain.

Oh boy... I have so many of these! I am not sure where to start.

I think I will have to tell the story that grossed me out the most. Let's face it this is an adult webmaster forum, so stories of college girls eating each other out on stage is really not THAT exciting, although amongst the civilians it does get quite a rise.

So every night around 11pm I would head to Duval st. and go to Rick's Bar in Key West to start recruiting unsuspecting college students into our wet T-shirt contests. I had about 30 different things I could say to girls in order to have them agree to be in my contest.

On this one particular night a very pretty girl with a great rack wants to know if she does the contest do I think she could win? I tell her that she is beautiful and stands a very good chance. This girl get's in my contest and doesn't win. Another girl who was a little less pretty but had more friends in the bar won by applause.

The first girl comes off stage. She looks at me with daggers and says, "you said I would win." I turn around and I am messing with my model releases and say to her, "I never said you would win I said that there was a great chance you would win."

About a minute later she gets really excited and said to me, "Ellise, Ellise, I know why i didn't win." I look over my shoulder to find the young woman, who is wearing a lovely pair of soaking wet and white booty shorts provided by Freeones, holding them slightly open and away from her body. "Well that's good sweetheart," I tell her, "why is it that you didn't win?" She proceeds to show me the front of her shorts and says, "Because I bled out through my tampon all over these shorts!"

I quickly turned around to collect all of my stuff as my obligations here for the night had been met, and just when I think it can't go anymore wrong this pretty young woman said to me, "Ellise can you throw this out for me?" I turn around and find her now holding the offending tampon by a string and waving it in my direction.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! You have never seen me run out of somewhere so fast in my life! How do these girls get into college? In what universe is it okay to ask a stranger (or a friend for that matter) to throw out your used tampon for you?

17.How did your mom passing away effect you?

Okay so from really lite and fun questions to the heavy stuff. My mom was my very best friend and meant the world to me. Her passing away was the hardest, most horrible thing I have had to deal with in my life.

If I am being very honest I am still dealing with it every day and having major realizations each day. More than anything it was a shocker that it could really happen. I know even up until the last moment I believed in my heart of hearts that something would change and she would miraculously be saved. This made it very, very hard to use that time to say good bye properly. I was so afraid that I was going to jinx a turn around by saying good bye. I am dealing with the fact that maybe I didn't say everything that I wanted to and ask all the questions that I needed to.

It really burst my bubble, which perhaps everyone needs to have done in their life to really see how to grow. I am lucky that it didn't happen until I was much older as I know so many people who have terrible tales, far worse than the loss of a parent, from a very young age. For me though it was the first time where I really couldn't make something work out no matter what I did and that loss of control was maddening.

I miss her a lot, she was so amazing and wonderful. I know that I was lucky to have such an awesome role model growing up and I think my resolve to do her proud is what has changed the most for me. I always wanted to but figured I had time on my side, now I get that you just never really know.

Ellisa rocks. Love the wedding pics. Nice ambush!
