Introduction In 1968, a baby boy was born and his parents named him Michael. As a cute little zero year old, he had a little round nose and made gurgly noises. But, he also had colic which tired his mama out and his grandmother often rocked him to sleep. One night, while doing this, she nicknamed him "Mickey" and that is why people also call him Mick. He grew up in upstate New York in a place too remote to be called anything. There were a lot of bugs and his Dad yelled at him for using too many paper towels. Little Mickey tried to have fun playing war with his friends and shooting BB guns. He didn't apply himself very much in school and he graduated high school Magne Cum Lousy. One day in 1986 he discovered a lump in his neck which he promptly ignored for more than 6 months. As fate would have it, it was Hodgekin's Disease and after months of dicking around with inept doctors, he promptly underwent aggressive treatment involving brutal tests and chemotherapy. This lasted a year followed by many years of paranoia. This is where he learned to suffer and it payed great dividends. Now he teaches 13th grade at a college in Ohio where he suffers daily.
Interests I addition to working for da man, I have been bicycle road racing for about 7 years. I also ride to work as often as possible. I ride about 200 miles per week. This leaves my fanny quite sore and consumes a great bit of my energy.
Favorite Movies Not a big movie guy.
Favorite Music They Might Be Giants, Rancid, NOFx, Devo, Goldinger, Reel Big Fish, Flogging Molly, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Bad Religion, Legendary Shack Shakers, Southern Culture on the Skids, Violent Femmes, Townes Van Zandt & lots of other stuff too numerous to mention. So, let's not.
Favorite Books I don't like books. They have big words in them that I don't understand.

If there's no I in team, why is there meat?

Well, I'm sure hoping there's no "I" in the meat either!
