This was inspired by **Northern Piper,** who took me to task for not knowing what gives here. For example, I didn’t know that **Lolagranola** and **Feynn** are a couple. I didn’t know that **matt** ran for Parliament. I didn’t know that **Coldfire** is a fellow Rush fanatic. What I do know is that **jarbaby** is every man’s dream because she understands sports, **Montfort** and **Anniz** are getting married, **Ginger** is a flame-haired viking wench, **Milossarrian** is a pretty sharp guy because he agreed with me once, **Odie** designed the new Canadian ten dollar bill, and **Crunchy** is a schozophrenic because he can be funny and sarcastic at the same time. So, help out a clueless Canuck and give me the low down. Rumours, allegations, innuendos and outright lies are especially welcome. ---

Just some things I’ve picked up about people:[ul][li] **beatle** has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of aircraft.[_] **Nymysys** has multiple degrees and was once a practicing therapist, but prefers acting and modeling.[_] **Alphagene** has what has become an extraordinarily difficult job, IIRC, he began as a coroner in Manhattan on Sept. 10.[_] **slackergirl** writes tech manuals for something many Europeans (and a few Americans) use every day, digital television or something (sorry, the name has slipped my caffeine-lacking mind.)[_] **BunnyGirl** works in the entomology department for a large Mid-Western University and used to be a Navy corpsman.[_] **Chief Scott** recently transferred to Shore Duty after many many years on the water.[_] **Tripler** , IIRC, is an Air Force missile man.[_] **MikeG** used to design custon kitchens. Real, high-end dealies. He also took a year and toured Africa and parts of Europe after cleaning up in the market at the tender age of, like, 20 (lucky bum!)[_] **IdiotBoy** is a sax-man in a band named _Jerkwater Jive_. They’re pretty good, too. **thinksnow** really likes snow, but is determined to get back to Columbus, Ohio [sub]Go Bucks![/sub], even if it means quitting _another_ job.[/ul][/li][sub]If I’ve mis-stated, I’m sorry, my mind ain’t what it used to be.[/sub] ---

Back in the mid 90’s I was the lead animator for Video Nation, and music video show in Minneapolis. We started on a UHF station then moved to the Warner Bros affiliate. Currently I am an animator/video editor for Mediatronic Research Laboratory (MR. Lab) and we should have some fun things available in the near future. ---

Dead turtles can make lovely pieces of art! And you, **Odie** my dear, are the kindest person I have met on the boards. ---

**Cranky** rambles on endlessly about topics about which she has only marginal knowledge. However, she manages to be somewhat funny just often enough that the other Dopers tolerate her. Just barely. When she finally finishes her dissertation, her free posting time will go up exponentially, and I predict the servers will crash. ---

My claims to fame on this board? I’m one of the few posters still active on this board who came over from the old AOL board. I might be the only member who’s had over a thousand posts under two different usernames. I’ve probably met more people at DopeFests than any other current member (89 at last count). I started the Celebrity Deathpool threads; two of the longest running threads on this board. I was indirectly responsible for the creation of the Great Debates forum. I’ve spend more time in prison than any other member. ---

**Odieman** has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of good music, and I believe he installs DSL for a living. **woodstockbirdybird** and I share the same last name, but are unrelated. He also has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of good music, and goes to a lot of concerts. **Demo** and **psycat** are a couple, and are hella cute together. **Quixotic78** is a chemist. **aha** was a rock and roll star, but I haven’t seen him around here in ages. **tiggeril** is a college student, and likes to lob happy fuzzy bunnies and lick people. **thinksnow** goes to a lot of Dopefests, and apparently gives orgasmic massages. **Mercutio** is the coolest 15 year old I’ve ever met, and he is collapsible, to boot. **Maeglin** is a fencing guru, knows a lot about dead languages, and can write sexually explicit haiku at the drop of a hat. **Nen** drives dangerously, cooks like a champ, and has 4 adorable cats that I am going to steal. Me? I’m just your average slacker type. Nothing to see here. ---

Well, I’m an amateur belly dancer - it comes up sometimes. **rjk** and I are a couple - but we don’t tend to say too much about it on the board. ---

**Superdude** is a professional stand-up comedian. **Javamaven** is a chef. I don’t know if **Zenster** is, too, but he’s the man to ask for a recipe. **ExTank** , as his name suggests, knows a bit about armor (and other weapons systems, for that matter.) **Tiburon** sub[/sub] is a staff attorney for a Department of Nuclear Safety (sorry, you’ll have to guess which one.) **thinksnow** is also an advanced SCUBA diver working towards Dive Master and was an ISO & QS-9000 auditor. ---
