After the whole **K6** debacle, I felt it was time for me to come clean as well. [This](http://nonlocal.net/images/gollum.jpg) is the real me. Alias and I are not engaged. [She](http://www.media-awareness.ca/english/resources/educational/handouts/gender_portrayal/images/smurfette.gif) is really my wife. And [these](http://www.luminomagazine.com/2004.03/spotlight/images/blue2.jpg) young men are our three kids. I hope that my lies have not hurt any of you, and I hope that my example will encourage some of you posters to do the same. [disclaimer] I know the K6 thing really did cause some hurt feelings. Just thought this would be a chance to have a good giggle. No offense is meant by this. I do hope that some of you could post who you really are before some sock has to do it for you. šŸ˜› [/disclaimer] ---

The worst part is that Iā€™m not even a deli clerk. I just lied about it because I wanted to be a big shot. Iā€™m really the head of programming at Fox. ā˜¹ Iā€™m so ashamed. ---

Sigh. It seems that Harborwolf has outed me. [Hereā€™s](http://www.cultureandrecreation.gov.au/articles/barryhumphries/images/DameEdna4.jpg) the real me. [This](http://www.smart.co.uk/dreams/bmvive3.jpg) is my wonderful husband. We have [two beautiful children](http://www.smart.co.uk/dreams/bmvive3.jpg). I donā€™t know why I didnā€™t come clean before. Iā€™m so ashamed. ---

Oh, I almost forgot, Iā€™m also a [Vietnam veteran](http://www.laweekly.com/ink/04/49/features-mikulan.php) . I was in the Green Berets in 1969, 10th Special Forces Group 1970, 5th Special Forces MACVSOG with 41st Rangers in Moc Hoa. I was shot by a sniper 6 days before the end of my 2nd year in Vietnam. ---
