About Me

Once a big fan of cheese.
Once fought a kangaroo and lost.
Once accidentally set fire to a loved one.
Once shared a urinal with Russ Abbott.

I am apparently Spider-Man 100%

Which "Saved By The Bell" Character Are You?

"Which 'Labyrinth' Character are you?"
You are Jareth, the Goblin King! You're a nasty piece of work who everyone is scared of. You're also very well endowed and not afraid to show it off! In another life you could have been a huge glam rock superstar!
