Colin

The Marv Coalition, quite frankly, won't cut it. Neither will the Whippet Puppy.

About Me

Jigsaws will be made available, the children will learn paneling, and ointment sandwiches will be served.

My Interests

Readin' stuff, watchin' stuff, listenin' to stuff, lookin' at stuff, feelin' stuff.

I'd like to meet:

Friends: fair-weathered

Wife: trophy and/or Stepford

Westphalians

Music:

Oh, you know, this, that, and the other.

Movies:

My social skills are a direct result of Annie Hall.

Television:

Thanks to the magic of HGTV, I'm learning why my house has no curb appeal. Also, the Metallica posters have to go.

Books:

How to Talk Dirty and Influence People-Lenny Bruce; Side Effects, Without Feathers and Getting Even-Woody Allen; the fine work of Bill Watterson; On Account of a Hat-Sholom Aleichem; the fine work of J.D. Salinger; books on cooking that are really cool; Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung-Lester Bangs; Penguin Guide to Popular Music; that Sedaris fellow; the fine work of Nobel Prize winner Dario Fo; any book on music history that's not dryly written, especially if it contains seedy first-, second-, or third-hand accounts of what really went on. That said, I must also include Hammer of the Gods on this list.

Heroes:

Various others.
