saw Ted Striker’s post and figured I’d follow suit.
I’m 30, straight, married, liberal, pretty religious (and not just “spiritual,” I actually go to church, not knockin’ those who don’t, just saying), I live in Atlanta but I’m from a smaller town in south Alabama. I gots no kids, but I gots two dogs. I’ve been reading the SDMB for about a month now. Folks seem pretty interesting . . . much less acrimonious than the ACLU message board I sniffed around in a few months back. I am predicting now that I will be wrong about 50% of the stuff I post because I get things mixed up a lot, so I should make an interesting target for some of the headhunters around here.
the sadist in me likes to watch non-fatal accidents, fights, embarassing moments (though I would never reveal this penchant for schadenfreude to my real world acquaintances). the anonymoty of the internet allows me to create potentially embarrassing situations using my persona as the target . . . at least that’s what I keep telling myself because under that logic every misstep is really just part of the next joke . . . . flawless. even my misspelling are really just part of the landscape of misfortune for this poor soul wiggumpuppy (a name that is in and of itself a misstatement of a fine though brief lived character - wiggle puppy).
I knew I would take heat for the tenor of my first post and the title of the thread, but the sarcasm was swift and painless and for that I am grateful. I’ve created an alter ego, titled in homage to an alter ego (after having altered the alter ego’s title) and set him loose in the rough and tumble threads of the SDMB. Beer calls, so I must leave for the evening. I will be back tomorrow to see how wiggumpuppy has fared. Be gentle on his bum; he has a long car ride tomorrow.
