Am I the only one who was surprised to learn that **js\_africanus** isn’t black? :smack:

Next thing you know someone will be telling me that **Paul in Saudi** lives in Overland Park, KS.

It’s a fair mistake, though my favorite was the assumption that I was a paleontologist—some early hominid or other was named Something-Africanus. It is actually a historical reference but all the good Scipio names were already taken when I made my email account. So I figured that since my first two initials are “J” and “S”, and many people call me “jsh” because I sign so many things that way, I thougt that “js\_africanus” would be a good mesh of “jsh” and “s\_africanus.”

In retrospect, I should have figured out an alternative to the underscore, 'cos it is a hassle to say and be sure you’re clear—even though people usually get it.

Wow.

Just, like, wow, dudes and gals.

1. **brachyrynchos** and **XJETGIRLX** , may I say scientists and artists are two of my fave kinds of people, specially when they’re so good looking.

2. **Ava** … oh dear… you owe me for all the time I’m gonna have to spend at the confession box telling the padre how much I repent for Those Thoughts that are Just Wrong :o

3. But of course this has to be about **Opal** all that AND fire-juggling!

4. **Eve** , as mentioned before, you had it in the genes all along…

5. OK, **Coldfire** is one of the entries in the Lucky Bastids Contest, on account of **Heloise**

6. I’d never get finished if I kept going. I’m impressed, Dopers!!

Now I gotta get myself to work getting to post up something recent, it’s only fair I leave myself open to abuse. Gimme til tonight…

Arrrrr, but I can’t stand a beard for very long! After I was sure I wouldn’t be on-camera anymore during that shoot, I shaved off the goatee. (I did wear a “soul patch” for a couple of years – twice – but I shaved it off a few months ago.)

No idea who The Blonde is. I was kind of young at the time. 😉

I’ve been trying to resist this because it seems a tad vain, but due to the moderate success of my first MMP and the fact that some Dopers seem to think I’m a guy, I’m giving in. Here’s **jay-c** :

If you have a rodent infestation, I recommend printing one off and tacking it up near where they’re nesting. Should clear them out within a few days. 😃
