OK, I confess. [I](http://www.torgo.org/media/images/torgo/knees.jpg) ate my own hamster. But at least it was delicious.

**nockturnal\_tick** : and I was just about to ask you to yell “Spoooon” for me.

Ah, yes, I too have trouble getting online from the Northlands in around the year 1000 AD. I’d post a picture of a woven tapestry portraying my conquests, but I’m damnes if I can find a scanner.

Subtle differences, my friend. My helmet had horns, rather than wings. My shield was different. Even the axes were different. I’d think that a doper would be able to spot such differences.

I’m not actually a 23-year-old Canadian translator at all, but an aging diplomat from a small fictional town in Worcestershire.

[This](http://www.crisperanto.org/pictures/Crisp2000/qclny/mf/martin-fishman-007.jpg) is me. I live with my lovely [boyfriend](http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/02.28.02/gifs/mckellen1-0209.jpg), our [houseboy,](http://www.debretts.co.uk/images/royal_connections/prince_william2.jpg) and an assortment of [kittens](http://www.vegasretro.com/entertainers/photos/siegfried_roy_7_r.jpg).

We spend our spare time organizing small [community festivals](http://www.gothamist.com/images/2004_06_gaypride.jpg), participating in various [charity contests](http://www.wao.or.jp/user/haitaman/981115s1.jpg), and restoring our [Edwardian mansion.](http://spongebob.topcities.com/house.gif)
