He’s a muni court magistrate in Northeast Ohio. Bit of a polymath.

Someone whom I’ve never seen before and will be disappointed by my terribly inept description of him/her, but presumably him.

Librarian, youngish (although not as young as when he started posting 🙂 ), has a fairly wide range of interests and knows at least a little about a lot…uh…I really should remember more specifics than that, since I know we’ve interacted in a zillion threads. There was only one time I remember him pissing me off, and I don’t remember the topic now, so I’d say he’s generally a pretty good guy.

I think you’re thinking of the other Justin. 😛

I think Justin Bailey is a lilbrarian, so I assume you’re thinking of him.

:smack: Indeed. Bailey it was. (And I actually just remembered that before I opened the thread again.)

Uh…yeah, sorry, **Justin Credible**. Don’t remember a darn specific thing about you. The bad news is that means you haven’t pissed me off at least once. You’ll have to try harder. 😉

Close. Born in Illinois, raised in both New Jersey and Illinois (divorced parents), is agnostic neopagan (but Wiccan’s pretty close). Am poly by nature and had a poly marriage, but now in a happily monogamous relationship by choice. 🙂

I actually could say stuff about you, **What Exit?** , but that would ruin the flow of the game. So I’ll just say that **What Exit?** isn’t my dad, but for a few days I thought he was! 😃

Next player: how would you describe **What Exit?**

Oh, that’s Jim – the answer to his username is “109”. Throws a damn fine DopeFest, has a lovely wife, a couple of ridiculously cute kids, and a very nice rooftop solar panel setup. Loves my NY Giants and is a rabid Yankees fan.

**Hal** is from New Jersey, is a family man with a cute kid, roots for the Giants, has an undying hatred toward everything for which I have ever expressed any semblance of affection, claims to not enjoy sexual relations with ovids, and is all-around a decent, funny, interesting guy despite having more or less the worst tastes imaginable. (He can be forgiven for this; spending extended periods in New Jersey would alter the perspective of the best of men beyond the brink of rationality.) He steadily remains on my list of Top 5 Dopers To Have A Beer With Someday.
