Hail, Dopers. I’ve been lurking here on and off for a year or longer. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a man of wealth and taste. Ahem. Sorry. That will probably happen again. I’m quirky and irreverant like that. Other mundane and pointless info offered to advance my delurking includes, but is not limited to, the following, to wit:
My handle here is a combination of my best known alter-ego, a Norrathian Druid of raid level from Surefall Glade, Antonica, Norrath and a nod to the great and powerful Elminster.
On politics, my views tend to be staunchly libertarian, except that I favor a strong national defense.
Hi, Opal. I’ll be continuing this list beyond this item. Thought you’d like to know.
I like animals–medium rare, with baked potato.
I am generally kind to animals I’m not eating, and am indentured to my own Feline Overlord. No pics available, sorry.
On Religion, I’m something of an evangelical secularist.
The Corps is neither Mother nor Father, but Kosh has always been here.
Kirk woulda kicked Picard’s ass.
My Grok-fu is six slotted.
If Heaven ain’t a lot like Dixie, I don’t wanna go. They prolly don’t let druids in, anyway.
Respectfully submitted, before noon on a Saturday, June 10, 2006.

A margarita? Thank you. I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and French-fried potato. Oh wait…that’s for cheeseburgers…and I don’t really like most vegetables or tequilla. Darn. Mind if I sip a Pepsi instead? Thanks.
As for cat stepping, I would refer the reader to the landmark 1975 case of Claw vs Bare Shin, in which the Court held Claw not liable for Shin’s damages.
I can’t afford to drive a Goat, and in my realm, squid are considered bait. Chocolate chip cookies, on the other hand, are highly prized morsels of brown sugary goodness, and Karana smiles upon those that bake em.
Thank you kindly for the welcomes. Here’s a shameless attempt to manipulate our Advertising Overlords by randomly mentioning Paragon City, Tankers, I7, Golf, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Luxury Automobile, Insurance, Bacon, Law, Philosophy, Sex, Science, Love, Trumpet, Baseball, Cowboy Bill Watts, Rupaul, Constipation and the Republican Party.
