    Nope. I have had many past usernames though! All the way back at BBF too. Ed O. knows who I am.

    I tend to spend very little money on transportation (my daily driver is a 1991 BMW I bought a long time ago for around $3,500) - but a lot more money on "toy" cars. My "new" Alfa (if you can call a 40 years old car - new) is going to be my track toy. It replaces a Lotus 7 clone (looks like a bathtub on wheels) that I built around 9 years ago.

    - I used to be a big American Football fan but I randomly lost interest.
    - I can only drink freezing water. If I drink warm or room temperature water it just doesn't work out. I also can't drink water in the mornings.
    - I rarely finish my energy drinks.
    - I've never played a sport for my high school but I've been playing football (soccer) competitively for eleven years.
    - I moved from west London to Northern Virginia when I was eleven and I consider Virginia to be my true home.
    - Some people say that I look like the "young Bob Dylan."
    - I love animals. I've always had a household pet living with me.
    - My musical taste tend to change every two or three years. At first I loved heavy metal, then classic rock, then indie, reggae, and now I'm stuck in a hip-hop/rap phase (the good kind!)

    I have attended an Englebert Humperdink concert. Older women were throwing their panties at him. It was crazy stuff.

    I was in bowling leagues throughout my childhood and still have my own ball and bag.

    I once accidentally cut into a natural gas line on (of all days) the 4th of July and somehow survived.

    I hate bananas. Can't even stand the smell of 'em.

    I've been skydiving. Once. And don't need to do it again.

    I have never seen a Monty Python movie. It's not that I've avoided it, but it just hasn't happened. Of course, I've also made no strong affirmative effort to see one.

    When the Cubs were up three games to one in the 2003 NLCS, I bought nonrefundable tickets to Chicago to see the World Series. I watched the World Series from a bar in Wrigleyville as it was played in Florida.

    Damn, that's cool. I always thought I had what it takes, but lived on the other side of the mountains and never got on the Ramblin' Rod show.

    I wonder what happened to DD? He was hilarious. You remind me of him. Sorry for the confusion.

    Maybe he's just taking a break in the off-season. I've seen him around a bit recently.

    I was on the very first Ramblin Rod show.

    I hated Ramblin Rod. He replaced a guy named Addy Bobkins, who was very popular and gave away cool toys and stuff on his show. We go thinking we are going to be on his show and there is this other lame dude instead who is quite full of himself, and never pays attention to us kids unless the camera is on. Instead of getting toys or GOOD candy and other stuff we got one crappy piece of hard candy and went home pissed off and feeling ripped off.

    I remember several years ago, someone on bbboards.net or one of the earlier incarnations of "us" wrote a novel and published a link to it on his posts. Was that you? As I recall, it was pretty well written.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I put ice in orange juice.

    I'm hard to anger, but once I do get angry.......I have a hard time sustaining it.

    I watch a lot of History and Science channel.

    I like soccer. Or, as the world calls it, not-American football.

    Might've been me. It was probably about three or four years ago. It never sold much on Amazon. I liked it (of course--I wrote it), but the marketplace clearly didn't.

    Vincent Van Gogh sold zero paintings in his lifetime. He's one of my favorites.

    -I had pocket rockets and hit quads on the flop to win a tourney at Spirit Mountain (beating a guy who had pocket 6's and flopped a boat).

    -I've won thousands of dollars playing live poker, and lost thousands online, but can't stop playing online and can't get myself to play live enough.

    -I mix all my food on my plate. It seems like everything is a nacho or a skillet.

    -Was the first kid on my block to get an NES, but never owned Super Mario Bros.

    -I can't buy a cheap pair of shoes for myself.

    -The more sex I get, the more I need.....um....."me time."
