Just responding to the impressions people had of me in that thread.

I am male. I am a comic book geek, indeed.

I am not a penguin, claymation or otherwise, but I’m cool with that.

I’ve not actually posted to any photo threads, that I can remember, though I don’t think I am hideous.

I’ll cop to the personality traits EH attributed to me, whether they’re true or not. \>\_\> They’re the ideal, anyway.

**What Exit?** and **Mahna Mahna** got me. I was afraid someone was going to say I was an obnoxious furry defender. But, yup, college age, likes cats, furry, like anime, kimono and other Japanese stuff, and tigers.

Missed Thundercats, general scifi and fantasy (although I don’t think I’ve made many comments about that), and comics (mostly Batman right now).
