The Rhinos of Rhino: Angelica Arnold a.k.a Angel

What's your favorite part about being a rhino? The people I work with and the interns.

What is your favorite Michigan beer? Two Hearted by Bells and Soft Parade by Shorts. Some people call Soft Parade the ninja beer because it kicks your butt.

If the local news covered your life, what would the headline be? I feel like it would have to be very vague and not that interesting but more like oh this is weird, and then you’d read it. But it would probably be more blank than anything.

A magic honey badger appears out of nowhere with a time-traveling phone booth. You can go anytime in the PAST. What time are you traveling to and what are you going to do when you get there? It would be really cool to be in the roaring 20’s.  I remember being younger and having thoughts about that and it seems pretty cool with prohibition, or the 50’s and 60’s it would have to be a very monumental moment in history. If it was really monumental I feel like I’d want to be around for the Watergate Scandal and have some sort of influence on that or the 20’s and open up a speakeasy

What is your favorite music genre? Currently I’m into indie folk music and country like always. I can’t handle Jason Aldean but I’m more of a Blake Shelton type of girl.

iPhone or Android? My android…I wanted to throw at a wall…so I went and got the iPhone

If you had a snail that could magically grant wishes, what would you name it? I would give him an old-timey name like Walter or Henry

You have the choice to live with a monkey who knows sign language or a bunny who sings lullabies, which do you choose? Definitely the bunny who sings lullabies, without fail. Monkeys are weird and I don’t care for them very much because a lot of monkeys can do that, but where would you find a bunny who could sing lullabies?

What's the best color for a cat?  Orange…like a tiger but my cats gray he’s a Siamese cat but I would definitely want an orange cat

Avett Brothers or Black Keys? Depending on my mood But Avett brothers typically

Do you like Sriracha? Yes but not a lot of it though because it’s really hot, it’s good though. My roommate uses a lot of it but when I put it on its very light.

At a movie theater which arm rest is yours?  Both… It’s really awkward because I want bother arm rests and I if can sometimes…the entire row

Chicago or Michigan sports teams (or Indiana if you’re crazy)? I have to say Michigan without fail, Tigers, Red Wings, Lions, and when it comes to college sports I’m a big Western fan. I don’t really care much about Michigan State or U of M

What’s your favorite t-shirt that you own?  This is hard…this is really hard…it says, “ I was a Rhino intern and I liked it.” It’s a play off Katy Perry and its really funny and its one of my favorite t-shirts. My second favorite off the top of my head says “Shakespeare is my homeboy,” but these are typically going to sleep shirts.

A penguin walks through that door right now wearing a sombrero. What does he say and why is he here? Well I feel like he would be speaking Spanish because he’s wearing a sombrero but unfortunately I don’t know any Spanish so I would probably be dumb founded because I don’t know what he’s saying. Why is he here? Probably because he realized that we just did a music video without him and we had a bear in it so he’s probably really upset.

Describe an orange without using the word “orange” It’s a fruit, it’s not quite an apple, its juicy it’s much better than a grape fruit, but not as good as a clementine and it makes great morning juice

You got kicked out of the country for being a time-traveling heathen who eats too much and has super-powers. But check it out… you can move to anywhere else in the world! Where would it be? I would either want it to be somewhere in Europe where it’s very cultured but I guess myself I would have to be cultured if I lived there OR I would appreciate being somewhere warm and tropical. I am originally from the Philippines. I was born in the Philippines so I have a lot of family there …so that would probably be my first place to run to because I have family there…and they can take care of me…but after that I’d run somewhere else.

You have been eternally banned from every single bar in the world except for ONE. Which one is it gonna be? I would say Shakespeare’s Pub. It’s my go to bar and there are  40 beers on tap and they are always really good beers for the most part. So yea Shakespeare’s…if I got banned from there I don’t know where I’d end up. 

Meet the Rhinos of Rhino: Jeremy Angeletti - Video and AE Design

What's your favorite part about being a rhino? The variety of things that I do in the course of a day and the fact that the variety includes creating things which I love to do I love to create things and see my ideas turn into something

What is your favorite Michigan beer? Bell’s Hopslam. If I’m at a bar in the course of a couple of hours I can probably drink two.

If the local news covered your life, what would the headline be? No ambition…well from loser homeless…well not homeless from loser jobless…well not jobless but from Meijer employee to dream job.

A magic honey badger appears out of nowhere with a time-traveling phone booth. You can go anytime in the PAST. What time are you traveling to and what are you going to do when you get there?

What is your favorite music genre? Mumford and Sons

iPhone or Android? iPhone

If you had a snail that could magically grant wishes, what would you name it? I would name him…Jeff

What's the best color for a cat? Dead…the color dead

Avett Brothers or Black Keys?Avett Brothers

Do you like Sriracha? Yes. I could probably go through a bottle a day

At a movie theater which arm rest is yours?  

Both…I use the back of the arm rest so if a stranger wanted to use the other half they could.

Chicago or Michigan sports teams (or Indiana if you’re crazy)? Michigan…Tigers and U of M football

 

A penguin walks through that door right now wearing a sombrero. What does he say and why is he here?

He’s here because he is looking for his father Kevin.

Describe an orange without using the word “orange”

Delirious, tangy, and if you eat too many you will have really bad stomach problems. I ate a lot of oranges on a mission trip and it was a horrible night

You got kicked out of the country for being a time-traveling heathen who eats too much and has super-powers. But check it out… you can move to anywhere else in the world! Where would it be?

It would have to be New Zealand

You have been eternally banned from every single bar in the world except for ONE. Which one is it gonna be? 

The Rhinos of Rhino: Tori Gebolys - Writer, Production Intern

(conducted by Denise Negrea, Marketing Intern)

What's your favorite part about being a rhino? 

Probably the diversity of each day. We have had days where there have been spurts of random banjo playing and days where we've been rushing from thing to thing, shoot to shoot. I would just say that there is literally never a dull moment.

What is your favorite Michigan beer? 

This is funny because I’m not actually a beer person. I like Greenbush beer. I also think I had a sherry at Founders I felt was pretty good, but Greenbush beer is my favorite. I like wine more than beer. I’m not a big beer drinker at all. My favorite Michigan wine is something  from St. Julians. I once had St. Julians peach wine that tasted like syrup from a pie. It was really really good.

If the local news covered your life, what would the headline be? Probably….Breaking News: Mlive Discovers the Most Uninteresting Person in the World.

A magic honey badger appears out of nowhere with a time-traveling phone booth. You can go anytime in the PAST. What time are you traveling to and what are you going to do when you get there? 

I guess I would want to go back in time to when Hitler was being born…I want to punch his baby face.

What is your favorite music genre? Right now….I’m so boring….gosh…Oldies like 50's to 70‘s but most recently because of Kevin….Folk Rock, but I’d say Oldies. My favorite Oldies group is the Rat Pack. My favorite artists are Dean Martin Sam Cooke.

iPhone or android?

I don’t have either. Everybody’s got a smartphone these days but I have an average intelligence phone. It’s a flip phone, I think LG…it’s from Verizon.

If you had a snail that could magically grant wishes, what would you name it? 

If it’s a him, I would name him Seymour. If it’s a her, her name would be Esmeralda.

You have the choice to live with a monkey who knows sign language or a bunny who sings lullabies, which do you choose? 

I hate monkeys. I would choose the bunny. Monkeys are terrifying.They rip off faces and hands. They are so strong and you don’t know what they're thinking and they’re so close to humans it's creepy.

What's the best color for a cat?

You know what you never see? A brown cat. Why is it that brown is a basic color of every other animal except for a cat? I’m not really a cat person, but I like those ones that look like they’re Siamese cats but they have long hair and they have the light light brown and the tan fur with the little black boots. Fake Siamese cats with long hair..they look pretty.

Avett Brothers or Black Keys? 

Avett brothers

Do you like Sriracha? 

I don’t know what that is.

At a movie theater which arm rest is yours?  

The right one. I am authoritative when putting my elbow down so people know the arm rest is mine.

Chicago or Michigan sports teams?

I don’t really care, but I would have to say Michigan. My family are all Michigan fans more so than State fans so I guess that’s the way I was raised…but I could really care less.

What’s your favorite t-shirt that you own?

I have this shirt from threadlist which is a website of different t-shirt designs that are designed by artists who submit their designs. I have one that is just text all across the chest with different fonts and some graphics too…but it’s just a bunch of spoilers from movies and TV. It says things like, who shot JR from Dallas, Snape kills Dumbledore, Rosebud was the name of his sled, and his friends are all part of his beautiful mind. One time I was wearing it in a film class and the spoiler was on the shirt. My friend got so mad at me.

A penguin walks through that door right now wearing a sombrero. What does he say and why is he here? 

He’s here because his car won’t start and he needs help…and he says in perfect English…”My car won’t start and I need help…also I really like your Rhino sign.”

Describe an orange without using the word “orange.”

It’s something you eat that’s round and a color. Also, it’s delicious.

You got kicked out of the country for being a time-traveling heathen who eats too much and has super-powers. But check it out… you can move to anywhere else in the world! Where would it be?

I would say either Scotland or New Zeland. I've always wanted to go to Scotland  I used to have this weird thing for Scotland back in high school. I used to think it was funny to talk in a Scottish accent at my Youth Group. New Zeland because I want to see where they filmed Lord of the Rings and Narnia…and I want to live in a hobbit hole.

You have been eternally banned from every single bar in the world except for ONE. Which one is it gonna be?

Well I don’t really go to bars so let’s switch it to coffee shop. For sensibility sake I would have to say a chain that I like which would be Biggby. But if I was in Kalamazoo then I would have to say Black Owl…maybe that’s the hipster in me but…they’re nice there.

Greg Jennings is the man.

Kevin here. I was going through some media from the past year and I stumbled across this photo of Green Bay Packers WR and Kalamazoo native, Greg Jennings at a celebrity golf event I had the privilege of shooting this past summer.

Greg is a class act and an athlete you can admire for his character, talent and faith.

If you're one of the three lucky kids in this photo and you'd like a print, email me at Kevin@rhinomediaproductions.com
