**Spider Woman** and I share a bed. She’s a Cancer, I’m a Virgo. She’s a Legal secretary, I build buses. She likes Classical music, I like Classic Rock. She likes nature, I sleep au natural. She is blond, I am not. She likes cats, I like dogs. She’s a vegatarian, I love a good steak. She likes Diet Mountain Dew, I like Dr. Pepper. She has 3 children, I have 3 children. She loves me, I love her. ---

Basically, I am a small town newspaper editor (anytime you see an old-time newspaper editor on one of those old movies on television - pretty much me). The town’s about 1,200 (nearest Macdonalds is about 80 miles away - The local high school had 16 people graduate last year) and the circulation of my paper is about 2,000. I was in the Army, the Peace Corps and basically hitch-hiked around the world doing odd jobs. Besides newspapering, I’ve worked as a radio DJ, a short order cook, a teacher and I still hold my SAG card and three or four college degrees. I also make spare change writing detective fiction. I periodically come to the board members for help with plot devices. Most recently they helped me commit murder with a bolt of ice. ---

I almost forgot, ( **mermaid** reminded me) I was wearing **Bunnygirl’s** ears, whilst patting the head of one of Chicago’s finest. I forgot that I had asked **Shayna** to use that pic for the People Pages [sub]use mermaid’s link, I can’t do it correctly and I’m sick of previewing this damn thing[/sub] ---

KKBattousai is a procrastinating ne’er do well that has been known to write short stories of dubious quality and taste, build websites of the same, and is _still_ looking for love (and cheap sex) in all the wrong places. He is also the webmaster/designer/content guy for [Six Degrees of Nothing](http://www.sixdegreesofnothing.com) and the admin for its newly developed [message boards](http://boards.sixdegreesofnothing.com). (_ **Join now, beat the rush!** _) KKBattousai is also **AudreyK** ’s source of eternal torment and amusement. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Slip Mahoney \* > **This was inspired by Northern Piper, who took me to task for not knowing what gives here.** Sheesh! Make one offhand, sarcastic comment, go away for the weekend, and look what happens! Might as well check in, I guess. I’m a Crown counsel, a Riders fan, and a novice bagpiper. (BTW: THE RIDERS BEAT THE ALS YESTERDAY!!!) Sorry, had to get that out of my system. I’m married to the beautiful Beloved, to whom I refer from time to time, but who does not post on the SDMB. (She tactfully refers to it as “your obsession.”) No kids, two crazy dogs. I tend to post about the role of the Crown in Canada, occasional comment on US legal/constitutional issues, and the Riders. Not interested in hockey, so won’t jump into the Habs/Senators/Leafs thing. I occasionally contribute to limerick threads, as well as cooking threads. ( **Ukelele Ike** rocks in this area, by the way. He has the courage to cook with lard, something that we timourous cholesterol counters can only dream about.) Aside from the occasional taunts from **Pipeliner** about the Riders (he’s a Bombers infidel) don’t have much of a profile here. Have never met any other Dopers in real life. ---

**Crunchy** forgot to mention he is a baseball expert, does great funny voices, and is, deep down, a big sweetheart. I’m honored to be friends with him. **True Pisces** , I also have other wrestling stuff in my cube, hehehehe. And toys too. 🙂 And since very few people know, **blur** plays dek hockey for **Team Beer** , the 2001 Spring Season Champions. ---
