During the interview process at his current job, my husband interviewed separately with half a dozen different people in one day. A couple of the guys never asked him anything at all about his skills, his resume, experience, anything- they just wanted to spend the 45 minutes or so talking to him. I remember one of the guys ended up also being a big fan of cheesy martial arts flicks, like my husband, and they spent much of the time BS'ing about different movies.
He got the job. A lot was his skill-set, which was different from anything they had at the company, but a lot of the interview process was also figuring out whether or not he'd fit in well.

I imagine they'd be fascinated by a detailed description of my latest bowl movement as well

He never told you but in truth he lied and claimed that your post count was his.

Keep it professional things like your education, experience things like that
Eh I kinda disagree.
In most cases they'll have your resume right there with your work history and education right on it.
I would kind of think they're looking for something they can't find on your resume
More often than not an interview isnt just from a technical point of view. Reap is right, they have your resume they already know that... what they are usually looking to see if YOU will be a good fit PERONALITY-WISE with the people they already have. Remember, you are selling yourself

The Oatmeal Butterscotch paired with a Snickerdoodle
turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.
