jr conlin's ink stained banana

Last night i had a hankerin' for City of Heroes, but not any of the characters i normally play. So i created a new science blaster specializing in fire and power attacks called "Gary Arson".

Yes, i'll probably add cow horns to the costume later.

While running him up to level 4 (Word of note, if you're playing a blaster, do that combination, and always go for distance and damage. Gary's quite a little kick-ass), i came across the following.

Actually, several of the following.

It's a City of Heroes virtual rave.

i think Gary summed it up rather nicely, don't you?

At work, one of the various Team Building things we're supposed to do is list out three things (two true, one false) about ourselves, and then the rest of the team was supposed to guess which is which. Oddly, i managed to come up with more than that.

Here's my list (one of which is false):

1. i have been shot at, multiple times
2. i have a commercial broadcaster's licence from the FCC
3. i, along with Dave Fenwick, were fairly heavily involved in the early Samba evangelists group
4. i once carried a pager that would only buzz if the world was about to end. It did once, but it was a very nice little old lady.
5. i once had a 15 a day Diet Coke habit
6. i was a male model, including several commercial appearances on TV.
7. i have never been to Boise

There are a few others, but that's the batch i had.

i may post which is false later.
