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]
Hmm. Well, howd’ya like that? I stand corrected, gentlemen, I guess we don’t frequent the same threads.
Gots us a Ossifer, a Twidget, and a Knuckle-dragger (that’d be me). Now all we need is a 'Trician to come along – somebody has to change the lightbulbs, you know – and we can run our own little Engineering Department! Straight Dope Utilities at your service, folks. All the 'lectricity and fresh water a body could ask for!

Um, Redboss? Primaflora is this Judy Davis? Really?

No. But if you read some of her postings with a Judy Davis voice/face in your mind it comes out right. And I imagine she would get on well with Woody Allen.
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 and the admin for its newly developed message boards. (Join now, beat the rush!)
KKBattousai is also AudreyK’s source of eternal torment and amusement.
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.
Well, once I was no longer able to do the nuc thing, I was force-converted to 'lectrician, and did that for a few years, too. So, I’m a Twidget and a Sparktrician, all rolled-up into one! With the addition of Mssr. Ellis, I think SDMB Power-n-Light is ready for service, yes?
