| Location | New Plymouth, Taranaki, New Zealand |
| Introduction | I was raised by wolves until I was twenty-six and a half years old, at which point I learned to drive, gained my independence, and headed to Vegas. Bad move. In hindsight, betting my life savings on double sixes probably wasn't smart. So I moved to Dallas, got a job parking cars, joined a Frisbee league, and started my own blog. UPDATE: I no longer have a job parking cars. Who needs employment anyway? The wolves don't work, and they have still managed to hold down a fairly high rung on the food chain. Update II: The wolves never had to go without a job in New Zealand. I am now attempting a feat never before accomplished by my adopted ancestors. |

| Favorite Movies | Lord of the Rings trilogy, Anchorman, Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail, Braveheart, The Princess Bride, UHF, Cool Hand Luke, the original Star Wars trilogy, Serenity, Forest Gump, any Mystery Science Theater 3000 movie |

Which is easier to make a model airplane out of and why: a banana peel or a wet sock?
A banana peel. I've done it before. It's easy.
